Is there any way to escape the "good listener" room?
In Chapter 4, after Wheatley busted me out and I did a bit of running, Glados opened up the "final" test chamber and asked me to complete it. (This is the room with the heart on the wall, and you get the "good listener" achievement for entering it.) Upon entering the room, the exits all close up and the neurotoxin starts flowing.
Is there any way to escape before the neurotoxin kills me? I thought perhaps a portal could be placed outside the room before entering, but I don't see any suitable surfaces.

The moment you enter the room, a script is activated which kills you when the room is flooded, regardless of whether you're in it or not.
This means that even if there were a way to escape it, you would still die.
I tried escaping this room a few times, but there doesn't appear to be a way out. That's probably part of the 'Good Listener' achievement - so the game can brand the player as a fool :p
If there isn't a portal surface outside the room, there isn't a way to legally get out of it.
If you can place portals inside the room you could use the speed-run glitch to shoot a Portal from the outside of the map; but then; I think you will still die because the script kills you regardless of where you are. It's the same way as you die in co-op during such event...
