The Orange Box: Portal Hints
How can I get to the storage cube?
1 of 7: It seems impossible at first, since it's in a little closed-off room.
2 of 7: However, remember the whole purpose of portals -- to go places you couldn't otherwise go.
3 of 7: Notice that the orange portal is right next to where you dropped down.
4 of 7: Every few seconds, the view beyond it changes.
5 of 7: This is due to the blue portal moving around between three different spots.
6 of 7: Stand and watch through the orange portal until you see the inside of the room with the storage cube.
7 of 7: Then quickly move through the orange portal before the blue one can move again.
