A first-person puzzle game developed by Valve and graduates of DigiPen, Portal forces a human test subject to run a gauntlet of grueling spatial experiments administered by a malfunctioning, psychotic artificial intelligence named GLaDOS.
Downloaded on my cousins account (actually ours from when we both went in on an extra copy of Half-Life, so we could both play Counter-Strike on the WON network like 10 years ago).
Anyways, going to totally let 2 of my friends with macs that game on their Playstations 3, but got out of the PC gaming scene after Macintosh game support really took a dive... (i.e. when valve killed a completed mac port of Half-Life).
Just played about half an hour of this, and even with everything on lowest settings, resolution, etc. it runs like garbage on this computer. Not a knock on the game, as anything that came out after say 2001 or so is nearly unplayable on this piece of crap. But, hey, still free Portal so...
" Hey ppl, my download said "suspended". If i pause it and resume it, it just says suspended again. what does this meann??? Is there a reason for this?? Can anyone help me out "
Valve servers are probably extremely busy right now, with the release of Mac platform, a TF2 update, and a bunch of promotions including this one going on. Don't worry, it rarely happens and will probably resolve within a day.

Yeah, that happens to me sometimes. It even happened with a TF2 update a few hours ago. Now it's downloading normally.
I tried to convince my brother to create a Steam account just for this even though he shares mine. He refused. He doesn't seem to realize that we might not share it in a few years and yet he may wish to play Portal in a few years. At least he can't say he wasn't offered a free copy.
To everyone who has access to an internet near you, get this now.
I also noticed that they have the telltale pack that comes with Tales of Monkey Island and Sam and Max: season 3 for $29.99. Has anyone here played those? Is it worth the price? I'm really close to an impulse buy right now.
