Wizard Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 So yeah. Free stuff. Only if you have a nvidia card though. Any type of card. I have a beefy 8800 GTS 640 MB. My e-peen is so large :V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exp44 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) Wow that's awesome! I've always wanted to try something more than the flash portal on newgrounds. Thanks a bunch! Edit: it requires downloading external software called "Steam". There is a catch to this after all. Edited January 10, 2008 by Exp44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: it requires downloading external software called "Steam". There is a catch to this after all.Lots of games use Steam nowadays. Half-Life, Counter Strike, Call of Duty, Bioshock, Id Games, Rockstar games, etc. Anyway, I use ATI, but then again I also have the whole Orange Box. Kiss my ass, nvidia.

Exp44 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 So your saying Steam is ok and safe (won't put crap on your computer like limewire does)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodPigeon Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 So your saying Steam is ok and safe (won't put crap on your computer like limewire does)?You NEED Steam in order to play any of those games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 So yeah. Free stuff. Only if you have a nvidia card though. Any type of card. I have a beefy 8800 GTS 640 MB. My e-peen is so large :VI've had one of those since they came out. :V It's already showing it's age though. I can't wait for the 98xx series. Wow that's awesome! I've always wanted to try something more than the flash portal on newgrounds. Thanks a bunch! Edit: it requires downloading external software called "Steam". There is a catch to this after all.Steam is a delivery platform for PC games designed by Valve. It's a very good program and service now. Almost every major publisher is on it and there are some great old games available on it too like Deus Ex and Max Payne. It's not adware or spyware or anything. wow...thats a bit late for a free trial...they should have come out with this three months ago...Why is it late? Is the game not being sold anymore? There's no greater marketing for a game than a demo. And I say releasing a demo after the holiday rush is a good idea to try to increase the product visibility a bit since games have a very short window for hype and sales momentum.

Ahmad89 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Is this the demo with extra content or just a demo of the game. It says "extended" so it is kind of confusing me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I think it's just a demo. I did the sign up thing but it didn't show up in my list. I'm guessing it's because I already have the full game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Yeah it isn't like Uplink sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exp44 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I just tried to download it after installing Steam and registering, and the Portal demo itself appears to be 6 gigs. And with my connection, that would take 12 hrs to download. So it looks like I wont be getting the portal demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
