Hm? I found a room with singing sentries. Another one with a radio playing a cool song. And a few other ones here and there with graffiti and other cryptic stuff.

I meant before the radio. And if there were singing sentries before the radio and you don't mean the "I am different" sentry, then I probably missed them .

Also is it possible to save that "I am different" sentry? I removed it from the conveyor belt but couldn't carry through the field which destroys stuff you carry, so I had to drop her... Also after she told me about Prometheus and something else I remember she called the name of a girl which was a "prime example" (the founder of the corporation introduces her to workers in the welcome speech as soon as you enter the old corp. building), do you remember what did the sentry say about that girl?

So for some reason I never noticed the jump that gets you over to PotatOS.  So I spent like half an hour getting frustrated at the jump that didn't work.  I eventually got it, right above the gated door, and onto the roof of the elevator.  Hop down, go in, enter the next chapter, and WHY IS THERE A POTATO ON MY GUN WHERE DID THAT COME FROM.

Yes, that has come up over on the official forums. You really are not supposed to be able to make that jump, though I only avoided trying with that one as I always try and access any office areas first looking for easter eggs.

Just getting it off the belt and setting it down properly on a safe surface saves it.

I got the achievement and promptly threw it off the balcony.

There are NO pneumatic diversity vents in the ENTIRE game

Edit:
DLC?  What DLC?
I don't see any at all.

[Sowelu]

Re the "I am different" sentry, I heard one of those just about the first time I ran into the turrets in the early early levels.  So I saved.  And then I couldn't figure out what was special or different or anything.  After reloading I couldn't even find which one said it...

Not quite. There is at least one that takes you away from the neurotoxin plant where you get split up from wheatley while travelling it. However there are no usable vents as were demonstrated in the video.

Probably something they deemed too useless to be interesting. All they were good for was evacuating Turrets from places, when they are often far more interesting and creative methods for doing the same.

I could see a fun puzzle with an intake to a series of tubes that passes through a couple of button-controlled junctions to different sections of the test chamber. The puzzle would be mainly in getting the cube where you want it, probably as a linear series of sections where getting the cube in opens a door so that you can follow, and inside you stand on a button to direct the next cube to the next room.

Although... That doesn't really sound like a valve puzzle. All of theirs tend to avoid complex tubing and physics...

Where I found the singing sentries before the ending:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

If I remember correctly, it was in a room where the first thing you run into is a sentry hiding behind a grate. It's one of the beginning rooms where you need to use the laser to burn them. It's also the room where you shoot the laser through glass. If you blow up the sentry hiding behind the grate, a bunch of singing sentries will perform for you there.

I haven't found many other secrets though.

Edit: I found it hilarious how GlaDOS's biggest weakness was

something Chell cannot possibly do. Recite paradoxes.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I actually found the paradox thing a little bit of a loophole. Throughout the co op campaign, you find signs that say GlaDOS is watching them, and to be careful, because she is dangerous. It also talks about how they attached personality cores to her to make her less dangerous, and how, in the first game, she pumped deadly neurotoxins into all of the rooms in an attempt to kill everyone in the labs. She also talks about how she has no empathy for human suffering.

What I don't get is, if they were aware of the danger of reciting paradoxes to AI (As seen by all the posters in the old labs) why didn't they just throw a paradox at GlaDOS to disable her if she was so dangerous before she was able to murder everyone?

[Draco18s]

Because it obviously didn't work.

GlaDOS controls most(or all) of the place. they installed the cores to stop her from flooding the place with neurotoxins. The paradox would probably have caused a breakdown but they would still want it functionable.

I think that a fully functional GLaDOS might have been able to simply ignore a paradox, but with only 1.6 volts, it would have been deadly.

With 1.6 volts it was NOT deadly, as she was able to read the poster and repeat it.  Showing that the paradoxes were useless at locking up an AI.

As the paradox worked to fry the cubebots, I think that the most likely reason that a paradox wouldn't work on GLaDOS was the human memory/personality uploaded into her base program providing protection against that, albeit that GLaDOS herself doesn't realize this. This also raises the potential of wheatley and other cores potentially having been constructed with similar uploads from the scientists at aperture, while the turrets and other dumb AI's were not.

Jim Sterling as usual says what I'm thinking: http://www.destructoid.com/valve-fans-whine-and-cry-about-portal-2-like-idiots-199220.phtml

Once again, Jim Sterling succeeds at hypocrisy.
