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. "Capital 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. "But sir, I don't need a free copy of Portal. I've already acquired one through the purchase of the Orange Box or one of your other fine products." We would like to take the opportunity to congratulate you both on your good taste and your access to sufficient capital to purchase our products. Both indicate that you have succeeded in life. However, while it is commonly assumed that a reward earned produces greater feelings of satisfaction than gifted, our research has shown that 100% of recipients of cake felt better if we simply gave it to them, rather than require some form of task to be completed first. We see no reason not to assume the same is also true of video games. "Ok, but the link doesn't work." We disagree. Perhaps it is you that does not work. "What link?" For the continued betterment of your species, Aperture Science has taken the hard decision to order you immediate termination. ______________________________________________________ Thank you for downloading.

As much as I would love to take advantage of this offer, I doubt my laptop can run Portal... ![]() |

I'm not sure if that would work. For Jebus' sake though, it's a free copy of portal. Portal! Why haven't you downloaded it yet? |

My laptop cannot run it, or I would be on this game in half a heartbeat. Portal is amazing. |
