I picked this up when they made it free in honor of porting the game to Mac, so I already have it, but now all my friends on facebook know too.

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

How come it takes forever to scan for game updates when I only have one game that probably doesn't need that much updating to begin with?

At this rate, Portal will eventually become free forever like TF2.

The poor, having their last cents swiped from them in the last round of steam sales will be able to feeds their gaming appetites with cake!

There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out

Just noticed: if you're interested in getting both Portal-games, you can save $5 by downloading them separately instead of getting the Portal-bundle. The bundle still treats Portal like it needs to charge you for it.

Has Valve ever given away anything about Half-Life for free? I know they've gone very cheap before, but I can't recall free.

Nope, not that I know of. And lowest TF2 ever got before going completely free forever was 2.49

Congratulations, LMS. In a topic where Liquid Wind said that women shouldn't be allowed to vote, you are still the worst poster in this topic. - kevwaffles

there's no way my laptop will be able to run it, but hell, it's free.

At least get the game on your steam account and you can just download it on a future computer.

hell yeah

Valve is ridiculously good

besides it being free, on their Portal 1 news page they have a link to an article about them talking DRM and always online anti-piracy, and how it's the wrong direction for the industry to be taking. they are the best game company I can think of.

in addition to getting portal again I got 3 games for $50 yesterday, I think one of them might be my GotY

really don't understand why people still buy consoles -_- at least I can't see myself buying another console until they get with the times and embrace digital distribution, retailers are a pointless middleman that inflates costs and robs developers of their profits and optical media just serves to create long load times and increase likelyhood of system failure(going back to last gen most hardware problems with consoles have been DRE's, the PS2, 360, and wii have all had notable problems with their disc drives)

1 more day

Disc media doesn't effect load times when it comes to installing games, same with PC games. Also, Steam is a middleman that developers other than Valve have to pay. As for why consoles, it's convenient having a game system where you don't have to worry about requirements (my PC explodes if I try newer games), plus chillin' on the couch it's good times.

Also, Steam is a middleman that developers other than Valve have to pay

developers make 30% profit on retail sales, they make 70% on steam sales

it's convenient having a game system where you don't have to worry about requirements

it costs less to have a good PC than to have a normal PC(everyone does anyway) and a game console

plus chillin' on the couch it's good times.

you can connect a computer to a TV and chill on the couch with a controller too...

the 360 has gears of war and halo pretty much, people are honestly paying $300 for that?

Getting a good video card and other gaming upgrades costs a lot more than 300 bucks. Plus last time even with an upgraded power supply and adding another fan in there, my computer still became hot like lava when playing a modern game. Long story short, its cheaper and takes less effort to rock consoles.

--

the 360 is also 6 year outdated tech, if you're spending that much on a PC you're also getting hardware that will run circles around any console that is out today, but you can also go cheaper and still run most games on medium settings

But it doesn't play MGS4 or MGS3, what good is it?

Ha, but on the topic I did play Portal on my PC, great game. Anything on newer tech than HL2 (2004 or so) and my PC usually explodes.

--

MGS4 is a great movie but not reason to buy a console

the last guardian and uncharted would've been much better arguments

Drake wishes he was in a movie with as solid gameplay as MGS4. =P
