Thread: 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.

Requires OSX 10.5 or greater

Aww...

it's times like these I wish I had a computer with a graphics card that could play games made after 1995

I wonder if you can still install it after May 24. Maybe as long as it's added to your Steam games list before then, you can install it later, like normal Steam games. Worth a shot, anyway.

WOOOO!
Finally!

Omg now my friend can play it. Its such a great game. Its has such funny dialog!

Man I wish I had a computer that could games after 1995.

Also, Mac Users, just remember that the Weighted Companion Cube can not speak, and will not threaten to stab you.

That it's free until may 24th. If you get if after that date, it will cost you money. If you get it before that date, you get it for free and you will keep it, forever.

i bought it with the Orange Box in like 07 or whatever

:\

I bought the Orange Box before it was even out :V

Tried to get my dad to pay it after I beat it. He spent the entire time shooting portals at random crap while talking about how he was going to blow up whatever he was shooting at. Guess he just isn't ready for portal....

Been playing portal since orange box came out, very difficult to play inebriated. It becomes a true test of skill then.

So. Awesomely. Epic.

I'm on it. OS X 10.5 or greater.. should work..

It doesn't like my graphics card. -_- When it actually feels like working, though, it is a pretty awesome game.

oh man, this is something i'll remember later and lmao about days later....

Its a pretty spun out game, very trippy like seeing yourself through a portal from a different angle, placing a portal somewhere and coming out somewhere totally different really boggles and expands the mind. Its also lots of fun getting speed and coming flying out of a portal. Check out this vid where they integrate portal into TF2 (TeamFortress 2):

That's pretty cool, but you can tell it acts more like a teleporter than an actual portal. Oh well, would still be fun to use. Just place it above a lava pit and then shoot the portals under your enemies.

It's lagging even on low quality, but it's somewhat playable. Interesting so far, I'm curious
as to how the innovation will progress. I'd imagine the portal being a pretty cool feature in
games like TF2.

On a side note,... when did that come out? I know already a while ago, but when it did, I
wasn't much into games anymore and I remember it being advertised and longingly awaited
maybe 10 years ago. I actually didn't think they were ever going to make it... (I mean Team Fortress)

that's a nice song in that video, btw
