In a way, having a framed picture of this Portal-Escher hybrid (full image via Kotaku) would feel refined. It'd go great next to our framed photos of LEGO Eschers. Check out the highlights for today:

Hey Fernando,
Remember how you were talking about being able to get some Wavebird controls for GC/Wii? I need to pick some up. I'd prefer to get 4, if you can arrange it.

All of the portals in the world can't justify this room if gravity still falls in the same direction.

There doesnt seem to be much escher-like about this thing. One can actually build it in RL. I thought the whole thing with Escher is that something physically impossible appears to be possible in drawing.
This arrangement is physically possible, it would just be bizzare. Anyway, it is pretty cool. I dont want to spoil anyone's fun.

Nothing here is physically impossible? The platforms that hover on beams of light would like to talk with you hmmm.

I meant something like this:

But I am wrong, they are not all physical impossibilities. A lot of them just have multiple gravity orientations. This portal map would be one of them.
