I'm confused at what the glitch is. I take it all the orbs aren't just sitting there normally, but how does getting shot at by a turret while you just through the barrier make them all appear?

Ok, here's what happened. I watched the video a couple of times to be sure. Its quite clever.
1) First s/he used the portal to aim a turret at GLaDOS, shot it a couple of times to release all the innards you have to destroy. [So now all the components you toss in the fire are scattered about and ready to be destroyed]
2) Secondly, s/he of course ran around using portals to collect the components from their various locations, and put them in an accessible location.
3) S/he used the portal gun to put all the components in a centralized location by the fire where you are meant to destroy the components of GLaDOS.
4) S/he then used a portal to quickly get to the fire access control panel [the one with the red button].
5) Lastly, S/he used a two portals, one set up directly above the fire (blue) the second (orange) he kept shooting individually to target the components of GLaDOS sitting there by the fire. They go through the various orange portals he shot, and fall out of the one blue one and into the fire.
It's quite brilliant I must say, well done :)

Also, as an added note, getting shot at by the turret in the beginning caused the turret to also partially shoot GLaDOS and get her to drop all those little components of hers.

SPOILER tag that shit! Some of us haven't completed the game yet...geezus. PC Gamer ruined Unreal for me years ago in the same fashion with a full page spread on the end boss while reviewing the game.

I'm glad I beat the game before I saw this, it's a huge ****ing spoiler. Nice job.

Yesterday I finished up all of the achievements on The Orange Box. The Portal ones (gold medals on all challenges) were fucking ridiculous.

@7 I agree. I would have thought X3F would have been smarter than this. I had no idea she was a boss until now. Thanks guys.

ok, if you own the game and haven't seen that boss multiple times by now, you deserve to have it spoiled..

Way to ruin it for us with the red rings who haven't even played the game yet.
Maybe I should take you out of my RSS feeds...

@12
That's a pretty foolish thing to say. Whether it be like 13 who have the red rings, someone who's not as clever, or someone who just hasn't gotten around to playing it, there are tons of reasons not to have beaten the game yet. Not all of us LIVE to play video games, surprisingly, and we don't deserve to be spoiled just because we haven't beaten a game that's a few months old yet.

portal is like a 4 hour game at most, how did you not finish it in 2 or 3 sittings?
this is a pretty impressive run though.

Most impressive.
Having said that, I havn't had a chance to get the Orange box yet and this was a hardcore plot spoiler.

It's upsetting that I have to read spoilers here of all places. I love X3F, but recently they haven't been posting news, just random crap like this. Am I asking for too much if I ask for an apology for ruining Portal for me?
Seriously X3F, you guys are smarter than this. What are you thinking?
