Using Cheats and Unlocking Achievements
There are achievements that you can get for completing certain tasks, however if the sv_cheats code is enabled the achievements are disabled. There is a way around this. There are a few command strings that can be bind to keys which allow you to enable or disable God mode when desired, get all equipment such as weapons, plus the better portal gun. To do this, use the bind <key> "sv_cheats 1; wait; god; wait; wait; wait; sv_cheats 0" console command. For God mode use the Bind <key> "sv_cheats 1; wait; Impulse 101; wait; wait; wait; sv_cheats 0" console command.

Overheating
Play the level where you face off with the laser guided robots. Once you get past the first few robots, you must start dropping the boxes on the robots heads so that they fall over. In the little place that you find the first two boxes, crouch and walk behind where the boxes were. You will find a little room with odd music playing and graffiti on the walls that says things such as "The cake is a liar". There also seems to be an Xbox 360 with a pot inside of it. The Xbox 360 is overheating and boiling the water.

Box Head Pictures
On the level where you get the companion cube after you run past the energy balls and are in the room with the three elevators, there are two doors leading to a catcher, and a platform that is pushed out of the wall. Walk up to the platform that is pushed out. Crouch behind it and walk through the opening. On the left hand side are a group of pictures of people with boxes for heads and hearts around them.

Portal "Mirror"
You will need the fully upgraded Portal Gun for this trick. Enable the sv_portal_placement_never_fail 1 and sv_portal_placement_never_bump 1 codes. Place a portal on a flat surface and the second one on top of the first one. The second will cover the first and you will be looking at yourself as if in a mirror.

Fun with Turrets
You can pick them up, toss them around, make them fall indefinitely through two portals, drop a cube on them, etc. Also try the following. Use the incandescent particle field in front of the exit. The computer voice said before that all objects other than yourself and the portal gun will be destroyed. Pick up a turret and toss it into the energy field. The turret will say "ayayayay" as if being electrocuted and disintegrate.

Still Alive Song
Listen to the radio in the room you start out in. If the music sounds familiar, it is because the song is an up-tempo version of the "Still Alive".

Glitch: Spawn Huge Error Text
Enter the console then type npc_create npc_zombine or bind <key> "sv_cheats 1; wait; npc_create npc_zombine; wait; wait; sv_cheats 0". Press the bound key if you do not want to get kicked from the server (it will not allow you to earn achievements, etc.
