More Portal 2 videos! This time, Valve wants us to check out the Thermal Discouragement Beam. These beams will cut through sentry robots and open up locked doors. Players will need to use special cubes to redirect the beam in order to take advantage of them.

In the second video after the break, we see the Pneumatic Diversity Vents. We also see just how much it sucks to be a sentry gun. Get it?! SUCKS?! HAR HAR HAR!

Check out parts one, two and three for more Portal 2 goodness.

Awesome. No big surprise, just the Portal team outdoing itself. I'm definitely anxious to check out theses new mechanics.

That's it, I'm not watching another Dtoid video until the advertisements are removed. They're too long for the length of the videos and it's always the same one over and over.

@hpv: "That's it, I'm not watching another Dtoid video until the advertisements are removed. They're too long for the length of the videos and it's always the same one over and over."

THIS

I know Dtoid's gotta make money but god dam if those aren't annoying as hell. It's gotten to where I won't watch another Springboard video because I don't want to see another fucking 'Cyrus' trailer. I've come to LOATHE Jonah Hill and the other jewfro guy as well as the cunt from that one law n order show because of Springboard. I would be willing to pay to never see a Springboard video ever again. I pay for Fileplanet for some reason I can no longer remember, I wouldn't mind a few more bucks to never have to use Springboard.

I know, why doesn't Dtoid pull a Sony and charge people for what should be free? Call it DTOID PLUS!

TL;DR: Where do I insert my moneys to never have to see Springboard ever again?

Oh gosh. Ads. Destructoid has turned evil.

Honestly.

These fucking ads are horrible. I liked having ad's on the side of the page without the ads beforehand the videos

Just a suggestion.

I don't care about the ads. No one is forcing you to watch them. Mute your computer and check Twitter or something until the video is ready.

@ VGFreak1225 - You're right, no one's forcing us to watch the ads. I was able to stop mine by simply refreshing the page.

Of course this prevented me from watching the video afterwards, but oh well. At least no one...forced me...to watch...the ads.

lol

I did. Because I didn't want to deal with it. I found that solution all on my own, thankyouverymuch.

Dtoids embedded videos have been pretty much shit from day one. Love the normal blog posts but 99% of the videos (and they way Dtoid internalizes them instead of utilizing YouTube) are garbage.

<3 for pretty much any videos staring Jim Sterling or Jonathan Holmes though.

@Grimspoon: Agreed, though I didn't quite hate the previous video tech Dtoid used. At least THAT one had variety. Also, if not for Jim Sterling and Jonathan Holmes, I wouldn't even bother with Springboard! <3 them.

....wait, couldn't he have just made a portal to on top of the platform, grabbed the cube then put it down? Why bother with the laser?

This might be a problem.

I dislike the pop-ups and the ads, luckily when i watch Dtoid videos on my Android phone (gotta love that flash support) it either doesn't show the ad, or occasionally (I'm assuming when the ad trys to force it's self on) says "video not available" - so I hit up Youtube.

Still, I'm sure when I get Froyo and it's 10.whatever flash support it'll work fine and I can go back tow atching the ads. Fucking brilliant.

Oh yeah, Portal 2, looks fucking bad ass, but to a feeble minded old fool like me it looks fucking balls to the wall hard.

i can't wait.
