I'm trying to get the Camera Shy Achievement, and I can't find 2 of the 33 Cameras. I've gone through the game twice just looking for the Cameras and I'm at a loss.
There seems to be a rumor circulating at the Steam forums about an upcoming companion cube product (plushie?). That would be awesome. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

This game is melting my brain. Apparently I was talking in my sleep last night. My gf asked me what "speedy thing out" means. I even considered taking the day off to try to finish all the challenges. The advanced maps were lots of fun, especially the last one.
I always suspected I'd love the puzzle aspect of this game, and didn't expect more than an odd chuckle at the voice acting, but the whole package is presented so well, I really think it is one of the most well presented single player stories I've played, especially when you consider the limited material they had to play with. It's you, and AI and an obstacle course, but the final impression it leaves is very complex.

The ones on metal don't count towards the achievement.
I had a dream last night where I was able to make portals using my index finger (blue) and pinkie (orange), by pointing at where I want the portals to be. I was in a big city, and decided to go exploring all over the place. And yes, I think I did perv at one point (I would be a bad super hero).
Apparently you can kill yourself using portals and a camera. Put a portal on the wall, and one on the ground right by that, drop the camera in. Eventually it will get caught so that it is partway through each portal simultaneously. If you move the ground portal, the camera stays with it. If you put the same part of the portal that has the camera in it underneath yourself, you die.
It looks like you can take damage from the camera hitting you also, I haven't managed to kill myself from that though.

I'm irrationally excited about this. At least I can tell my girlfriend what to get me if it comes out before November.
