Topic: Play Portal Free On Your Mac Or PC!

[CrazyEnzo03]

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.

Yeah everyone thought portal was a great game, then they found out it sucked. Now they have to give it away free, and nobody wants it.

Huh?

I've only played through the demo, and I enjoyed it.

I'm definitely picking it up during this giveaway.

What didn't you like about it, WillyP?

Nobody wants it? I think everybody has it.

Reminds me of how the Wii was the best selling game console and after a long period of time when everybody had one, Nin10d'oh started scratching their heads as to why their sales suddenly dropped.

The puzzles got harder and harder to do, even though in most cases it was pretty obvious what you had to do... but it was just more and more of the same even when they were trying to mix it up. It was just too boring, just like the Grappling Hook game. The only challenge was in the timing of jumps, etc...

Curses, WillyP. Portal was a fantastic game. My thoughts are these:

The cake is a lie. The companion cube is forever. But it's good for the people who are still alive.

Guess who's number 1 on the top 100 bad guys list that they just completed over at IGN.

I've heard a great deal about Portal, and thought the concept was great, but have never had the honor of playing it. This might be my chance...

My laptop probably won't run it though.

Portal's requirements are pretty slim. Anything'll play it.
It's basically HL2 (from ... 2004?) with no enemies.

I just wish they'd get into gear and release HL2 Ep.3... maybe with some new weapons.

And maybe with this bad boy!!!!

Bad boy? This is a bad boy:

Or maybe this!

Portal 2 is coming out this fall. This giveaway is just to prime the pump.

Heh, probably not my laptop, though, it's not exactly a gaming machine.
