Well, I don't know. Most of Portal is really just "Get from point A to 
point B. Oh, did I mention the lava? Try to avoid touching it." You 
presumably don't need too much of an explanation to head into another 
hall of mirrors doing more of the same.

Uh, yeah. Considering that you just levelled that thing... how does that 
work, exactly?

The whole point (or hole point?) of the portal gun is that it allows you 
to get around obsticles. The outdoors doesn't have any obsticles. (Nor 
any flat surfaces, for that matter.) It might be useful to cross the 
grand canyon, but you still wouldn't have anywhere to put the other end 
of the portal anyway.

Although I hear there's a TF2 mod with portal guns... It looked, uh, crazy.
