Portal: FOR FREE

Post by Erik_Twice »

Portal used to cost money. Until May 24th, it's free. End of story.
Well, technically speaking, there are some strings attached. Fortunately, they're entirely decorative. We just like the way they look, swaying in the gentle breeze created by a million people simultanously fainting from shock at the news that Portal is free. Now you have no reason not to try Portal.
"I have a reason," some of you are probably typing into an angry email. "You see, sir, I own a Mac."
Well guess what: For the first time ever, Portal is also available for the Mac.
"Capital news! But the excellent puzzle adventure Portal won over 40 Game of the Year awards; Surely it must cost at least five or six hundred dollars."
You'd think that, especially since it actually won over 70 Game of the Year Awards. But, like we keep saying, Portal is free. Free on the Mac. Free on the PC. But only until May 24th. So you only have a few days to decide if your free copy of Portal is worth the price we're currently charging - which is you ever-so-slightly moving your index finger just barely enough to click the big red "download" button right there to the left.
So, get it. Get Steam and download it now. Get it? :lol:

^Yeah but it's not really read by many of the forum-goers and I feel this game for free will attract more people than actually paying for a game that's why I felt it was better here. Feel free to move it tough.

I would nominate moving the other one here.

A little while after posting it, I regretted not putting my thread in the main forum.

Took me a while to get it because the servers were clogged like a toilet. Just finished the d/l. I've only played it on a SD TV on my 360 so I'm excited to see how it looks on PC. Just got my first ever high end PC late last year and I've been pretty impressed by the difference in graphical quality. Apparently I is a graphics whore. I'm ok with it.
