Haven't played Portal yet?

Where the hell have you been?

But that aside, it's free now until the 24th of May on Steam. 

http://store.steampowered.com/freeportal/

Go on, don't say I never did anything for you.

Unlocking this because I've had 3 or 4 people thank me for making the thread, because they would not have known about this otherwise.  Not everyone reads the Steam thread, and this is too good of a deal to miss.

Dude, heads-up on free stuff is always good for its own thread. The worst that can happen is that it is ignored and falls off the front page. :bfd

Thanks for the heads-up. I also created a Steam account for this. I'm interested to see how it runs on my Mac.

I'm liking what I've played so far.  Yes, there is a lag with playing it on PC, but well worth it when you consider that it's free.

The PC lag was a pain in the ass.  My graphics card was not ready for Portal.  But all in all,

I GOT MY CAKE, DAMNIT.

Seriously Zero?  How've you gone this long without playing Portal?

You've played HL2 along with episodes 1 & 2, right?  It's not integral to the Portal experience at all but I think you'll get more out of the game if you know the HL story before going into it. Supposedly Aperture Science is going to play some kind of role in episode 3.....whenever the fuck that's supposed to come out.

Now that I have a new vidya card, I went back and started playing ep.1 again recently. Never played Portal or TF2 for that matter.  :-[ I'll play some Portal tonight though.  :)

It worked pretty well on my computer, I think I played till room 16 or 17. I got stuck where you have to teleport in a narrow Z shaped corridor over moving plates.

Well done, chronovore.
In defense of demi's claim, it's subjectively true: I don't know nearly as much about videogames as he does, since I'm not a native fucking citizen of Videogameland.
