In honor of Steam finally coming to Macs, Valve is giving Portal away free to all PC and Mac users until May 24th. So log into Steam and get to downloading. The servers are pretty hammered right now so it may be hard to download it. But you have until the 24th to get your free download.

" So do I have it forever or until the 24th? (stupid question I know) "You get it for free. Once its the 24 they will again charge for it.
" So do I have it forever or until the 24th? (stupid question I know) "When you download it you have it forever. It's just like purchasing the game but it's free. You just have until May 24th to download the game before the offer goes away.

" Here's the link: http://store.steampowered.com/freeportal/ "Thanks. I'll put that in my original post so it's easier to see.
" Gah, Steam has been Macerised. Also, I would download Portal, but I've already bought it twice >_> "Yeah, I already got it when I bought the Orange Box back in December. But I thought I'd let everyone know it's free. People love free stuff especially when it's free games.
" @Garden_Ninja said:I'd still download it. Or at least just have it on your account. One day you'll have a PC that will run it and it'll be there waiting for you to play." Well, I guess this is as good a time as any to find out if Portal will run on my laptop. "That's what I thought, but.. no way in hell will it run on an EEE. Besides I already played the 360 version to death. "
I'm just excited that whenever I decide to try out Mac OS X I can test out some games.
And, Portal's rad.
Sweet. Been looking to play through it again. :)
EDIT: It isn't working for me. I'll try in a little while.

Planning on it. Just added it, and I'll install it tonight probably. Not too fussed if it doesn't work though. I already have the Orange Box on 360, and I figure when I do get a better PC I'll buy the Valve Complete Pack.
I'll have to get a new PC before I can play it, but I can go ahead and get it for the future. I already have two versions of it for the 360!
Heck yes. I already own the awesomeness that is Portal, but I know several people that don't. Time to go spread the joys of Portal to them!
