Me too.

Though I before buying the game, I watched all the Portal videos on
youtube that I could find, so I knew pretty much everything starting
from the toilet till the ending song.

But some puzzles still stumped me for a hour or two, especially #18
where I couldn't at first figure out what to do after I acquired
the storage cube from the upper platform behind the large pit.

Still have to play the advanced puzzles though.

One fun I discovered which wasn't covered in any youtube videos was
about dislodging the cameras from walls, and taking large piles of
items to a distant location should you need them for toppling the
gun turrets.

Speaking of gun turrets, there was this one stage where turrets
could actually be placed on a button where a storage cube was
supposed to be placed, and hold the button down.

Then there were two or three hidden rooms with bean cans and lots
of text. Those were interesting.

I liked GLaDOS's murky humor though.
