Portal (PC/Mac) Full game for FREE on Steam until May 24th
Valve and Steam are offering Portal for Free until May 24th. This is the full game and it's available for PCs and Macs

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

Enjoy!

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.

"Capitol 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.

Cool.

So I fired up Steam and finally see new interface. And then I got confused, how do I change the installation folder for Steam games so it doesn't go to the default C drive? This was a rather new Windows 7 installation from a few months ago and apparently I installed Steam and then abandoned it, I never did bother to set it up the way I want.

IIRC you need to install steam onto the dirve you want the games installed on unless this "feature" has been added recently.

OMG. I've wanted this game and just never had the cajones to purchase it. Offering a good game for nothing is a very genius way to get steam installed on all those macs. :)

edit: Wow. Steam servers are just smokin' right now. Completely maxing my connection. w00t!

edit2: Fuck me I shouldn't have done that. Grades due, final fri., balls. It's soo much fun. :)

well, you can beat the single player in a few hours(something like 6 if I remember correctly) so you should still have time for actual work.

Good move from Valve, Portal is good, and free, there's basically no excuse to at least not try it once.
