I reached the same room last night and called it a day. Not looking to be given the answer yet but I thought it was funny to read that you're at the same spot.

Spoiler about story and not solutions, but if you've started chapter 8 are are beyond about the first three levels then it is safe to look.
I'll let you guys know that I started playing Chapter 8 with the intention of finding the level and helping you, but then I remembered Wheatley was going to orgasm every time I completed a test and was all "Nope, nope nope, alt+f4."
I genuinely felt dirty and used the first time I played through that chapter.

So I find my self stuck, and not knowing exactly what level it is I don't know how to find a solution.
So I will describe the best I can. It is in chapter 8 (The Itch) and when you start in the puzzle room Wheatley does an evil laugh. In the room is a Blue Tractor beam, some blue gel, and 3 lazer gun things, a switch to turn the blue beam into a red one, and a button I have not been able to reach due to the Gunners (there is a glass wall to stop them pwning me).

It's been a while, so I don't remember if you can do this, but try spraying the turrets with blue bounce gel. It's kind of funny watching them tumble into oblivion.

I too recently finished this, hopefully will do co-op with someone soon
For coop I'd strongly recommend playing with someone you know and not playing with random people online.
Aside from the inherent merits of playing with someone you know being more fun, because it is a puzzle game it's not really fun to be playing with someone on a puzzle they already know the solution too or you already know the solution to.
Find someone and stick with them throughout the entire coop game if you can.

I didn't want to be left out so I finished tonight as well.

Another tick for people that beat the game tonight. Reinstalled and dealt with my the game crashing every 2 puzzles or so. (Its a crappy old pc(AMD X2 2.0 2gigs ram Geforce 7950) until my new pc comes next week)I beat it in 6/7 hours since I have played it before but still a great to go back and chuckle at the jokes.

I have to say, that was one of the most satisfying game endings I've seen. "Want You Gone" won't have the same effect as "Still Alive" but I think that was a hurdle that would never be cleared. It was still a fun song though. More to it though, I thought GLaDOS's actions were plausible and in character...
(considering the emergent Caroline personality)
...and her actions/logic at the end made sense and avoided a sappy ending but gave us the GLaDOS we love.

It was good up until the Caroline part. They kind of wedged in a bunch of contradictory ideas. Gladdos was Caroline, except she wasn't, it was part of her, and it was keeping her sane, except when it was making her crazy.

That's not quite what I got out of it, but I'll admit to concentrating more on the puzzles than the actual story line.

oh then you totally need to go back and replay them for the story. I found my self not moving through a puzzle until dialog was over so I could smile and lol at what was being said.
I didn't have a problem with it.
GLaDOS wasn't Caroline, GLaDOS was a separate AI (invented for a de-icing machine) who had Caroline uploaded into her. Caroline's "psyche" was repressed, except for maybe feeding GLaDOS's obsession with science, until she hears the Cave Johnson recordings. From there, she makes subtle influences on GLaDOS until the final fight when Caroline makes herself obvious by saving you. GLaDOS can now delete Caroline* and, in doing so, realizes that it's easier to just let you leave than risk dying again trying to kill you. Besides, she has her bots for experimenting.
*GLaDOS was also unaware of her black box function and is originally unaware of the purpose of the cores in Portal, so it's not surprising that she didn't just know who/where Caroline was or how to get rid of her.

There's a difference between paying close attention to the storyline and simply listening to the dialog for jokes. I listened to all of the dialog and understood the basic premise of what was going on, but I never put much thought into the storyline of Portal 2. A deep thought out story was not the focus of these games.
Signature starts here.
If what I wrote counts as "deep" to you, you need to stick with Pac-Man

That's actually pretty much what I got out of it.
Mostly because of the part where Cave Johnson is speaking to Caroline at one part while GLaDOS is the potato battery, and she says somthing to the effect of, "Caroline where do I know that name?? Why do I-- Wait. I have to think for a while." Then she goes quiet for a while. Then later you find out that she and Caroline are sort of sharing a computer. I thoroughly enjoyed Weatley, too.

Interesting little side note. When you play through the co-op you discover that Glados is becoming more and more bored with her two robot testers. By the end of the co-op you are helping her unlock a vault where there are a bunch of clones of you.

I'm afraid to do the co-op mode. I don't want to piss anyone off.

Thread reminded me of one of cracked.com's list of hidden Easter eggs(think it was that one not 100% sure). Portal had some good ones and some ones that clearly showed some people have a lot of spare time and think way out the box.
Just a heads up, the original Portal is going to be free until September 20th. PC and Mac onry.

I like how the responses are people bitching over the word "gratis".
This should have happened a week ago when I started my older kid on playing Portal on the old computer. I would have made him his own Steam account.
Anyone know: If I made said account and "bought" the game, could I launch the existing copy with the saved games, etc? Or would it require a fresh install?

Steam would install it in a new directory with different saves. However, I believe all the saved data is stored locally so you should b able to just copy your save game file over on his location should you want to.
I'm having a hard reason thinking of a reason you'd want to do that though, as there really isn't any benefit to having access to a completed save file.
Because he's largely through the game. Of course, he can just finish the one he's had on my Steam account but that defeats the point of getting him his own account and own copy. Basically, I was seeing if it was worth it.

You misunderstood him. He isn't giving his kid his own completed save game, he wants to transfer the progress his kid has already made to the new account.
And yes, that should be very possible.

man, oh man. in the last couple of days i
holy cow, the look on his face when glados called him a piece of garbage and a horrible person, and the part where wheatley turned against him was so funny.
i got the urge so bad to build a new pc for skyrim, lotr:witn, and gw2 that i think i might justify it with a portal 2 co-op campaign with my kid.
oh yeah, i also had to look up the solution for the puzzle where you have to shoot the blue portal at the moon. i was stuck there so long i thought the game glitched out on me.
- bowled through portal 2
- loaded up my last portal save from may 2010
- realized i was very close to the end, played a bit and saved
- got my son started on portal 2
- rapped his knuckles for fncking up wasd movement
- told him the cameras weren't evil, but glados was watching him
- chuckled as he put a portal behind every camera, detaching them from the wall
- said, 'no i won't play this part for you' 100x
- made tacos, and fired up portal 1
- made three jumps then beat glados with my kid giving pointers
- turned the kb&m back over
- said, 'no i won't play this part for you' another 100x
- took the list feature for a spin
- apologized for being too braindead to think about grammar
