Likely has to do with this:

Yeah, release more games for free that I originally bought. FU

Iirc this happened before several times (like May 2010).

Correct.

@cityyy bad luck mate.
@vedic Hi, fellow Redditor.

waiting for portal 2 to go free :p

Just buy it, shit is amazing.

Shit's bananas (that's B A, N A, N A, S)

If anyone doesn't already have Portal 1 by this point, its probably too late to save them anyway. Doomed.

downloaded it and beat it today took me 6 hours, a few parts were lolwut

I dont play video games, i play quake. no console bullshit either.

Portal 1 took you 6 hours? Were you AFK half of the time?

I think the first time I played it was like 1:45 total, over the course of a couple of afternoons. I can beat it in around 30 minutes flat now. 12 minute speedruns are possible. :D

Pretty sure 9 minutes is the record?

Could be by now. I haven't really looked into it in a year or two.

If you are referring to this:

It's not done in one continuous session, but segments were done in a two-year period and the separate demos were joined at the elevators between the chambers. But it's still a very nice achievement indeed:)

Yes, that's what I was referring to. I know all about it. I downloaded the insane quality one over the period of a week or so, because the stupid uploaded .torrents, and nobody was seeding :<

Even if it's segmented, it doesn't change anything imo. Still insane.

i got this for free like a year and a half ago o_O

any game is free for me (bittorrent ftw)

Really? Where can I get the said program?

This is great! That means I can download things for free on the internet?

Yep! No charge.

never played the game, never will.

WHY!?! but seriously, why?

I never try it so I do not know what I am missing: I am already wasting enough time with Quake so I do not want to get into other games...

If you get bored of QL one day give it a go, it's no longer than a few hours..

You beat the campaign in an hour and shelve it, what's to get into?

I usually don't play/finish single player games as I get bored pretty quickly. Portal is one of those rare games I didn't quit of boredom.
