Portal

[chaksq]

Portal is awesome, I <3 my Weighted Companion Cube.

It is really quick and easy to play as long as you aren't drunk. Seriously though it has a very interesting gameplay and allows for a great interaction with the environment.

The requirements say 1.7ghz, would this run on my 1.5ghz dual core? (I played it on a friend's computer)

Oh and by the way:

If you read the wikipedia entry, it said that it was thought up and somewhat-executed by a company called digipen in 2005.

Digipen is a college for video game design, the people behind the game graduated from there.

It all really depends on the CPU. I've got warnings from Steam on a few games because my E6600 was only 2.4GHz, but it obviously can chew up any game out there. You may as well try it...

I think I will try that. Another question, if I open a Steam account, then build a new computer. Will it allow me to use/transfer the games I purchased for my current machine to the future one.

Great ending and where can I download that song

Oh, and look what i found... (serious spoiler alert.) http://itsthedoc.net/music/portal_still_alive.mp3
If you are using firefox it should just start up.

Nevermind, thanks.

How do you download it if you don't have quicktime pro?

Right click on the link and select "Save Link As..." (Might be "save target" as with different browsers)

I got it from the portal myspace page along with the version of the song that played on the little radios in the game.

Yes. You just install Steam on the new computer, and enter your Username/Password, let the games redownload, and you're done!

I was snooping around the portal .gcf files, and look what i found...

It seems to be a bump map (or whatever you call it) for a model

Don't let it re download, copy the gcf files from your old computer and let it use those!
