Hello, the video was rubbish. Or rather is. And still continues to be. I don't claim to live in America but if I'd found a portal gun which isn't even a real portal gun (instead it's some sort of reskinned airsoft P90) and escaped a mugging I would, let's say, run away from the confused attackers. Last time I checked, reopening a portal, shooting one of your muggers in the chest and then sending the other to the surface of the sun isn't called self-defence if you've already evaded the attack. It's called cold-blooded murder of two individuals who just happened to be criminals. This video is bad, the prop is absurd, the premise has a certain wasted potential, the characters are boring and repellent (especially the 'hero') and the portal effects are weak as is the logic for using them. Disappointing.
