Portal Funneling
Portal funneling is a game mechanic in the Portal series. It automatically corrects the positions of players and objects moving at a high speed towards a portal, so that they go perfectly into the portal rather than potentially hit the rim, much to the player's annoyance. It also appears to sometimes affect trajectory after the object goes through a portal. Note that players must be looking at a portal when funneling into it.
In Portal, funneling can be toggled in the options menu. In Portal 2 it can only be disabled by console command.
