     Valve is really going all out with this viral and cross promotional stuff for Portal 2. They can probably get away with it though because it all costs them, like, 20 bucks.

    The whole marketing for Portal 2 has been fantastic, with the announcement by Portal achievements and the Cave Johnson trailers!

    @ErrorOperator: Not sure if it was the way when that update first hit, but now that the Potato Sack/GLaDOS@Home thing is going, if you go to the Audiosurf Radio tab, there are two tracks from Valve (TEST and Reconstructing Science) that not only feature music remixed from Portal 2, but also run a "Portal Mode" version of Pointman.  Those tracks seem to ALWAYS play Portal Mode even if you select a different mode like Mono, but it does still take the difficulty you selected.   Reconstructing Science is also playable in regular modes too.

    So the Portal mode mainly tweaks the visuals of Pointman.  The arches you fly through are in the visual style of portal ovals and instead of a ship, you basically see a portal gun as if your Chel in first person riding on the board (you can also see the tip of the board under the gun).  The colored blocks only show up as orange & blue (because duh) and there are also companion cubes that appear on the field that act like white blocks.  The cubes don't match but if you let them reach the bottom, you get 2000 points.  And like normal Pointman, you can pick up blocks and drop them where you wish.
