I just downloaded Steam to enjoy such a wonderful gift! I've always wanted Portal but don't have money or a ride to the nearest game store... that's 30 min that way... /points in obscure direction. Thank you for the tip TimeLord! /gives free cookies

YES, wow I just did it and wow. Just WOW.

This is my first time playing portal by the way, and Valve, you are now officially my favourite company.

You know why it's free? People who didn't buy the Orange Box or Portal will buy it now and then spend full price on Portal 2 which should be coming out soon. Clever move made by Valve.
That's pretty cynical, still it's true. But on the other hand, its free!!!!

I am actually kind of sad. I hope these new gamers give it the respect it deserves. For some reason it irratates me when people who won't appreciate it, play it only because it is free. Oh well, it's not fair for me to hide it away from possible future fanatics...

But who doesn't have Portal yet?
People who have macs and therefore don't care that they've missed out on one of the best FPSs ever.

Oh, what joyous news, as just three days ago, I lost my Steam account that had the Orange Box and The Ship.
Perfect.

EEEEEE I just peed a little. It's downloading now! 29 percent COME OOONNNN!!

Can someone please quote/reply and let me know how to open up the console in-game on a Mac? :) can't seem to Googlefy this information! Thanks!
Is it not the same as on PC? It will tell you when you start playing the game anyway.
OK thanks. Also I don't own a PC and haven't in some time so I wouldn't know what the console command is for PC either :)
It is something along the lines of: SHIFT + TAB I believe, but like I said, it should appear when you start up the game
No, Shift+TAB is to open the in-game Steam Community interface.

To open the Dev Console, it should be something like this:

-Go to options, Keyboard, click on the "Advanced" button, and check the "Enable developer console" box.
-Back to the Keyboard mapping, find the "Toggle console" command, and map whatever key you wish to use.
-Apply, accept, and just in case, restart the game.

Once the game is open again, you should just have to push whatever key you mapped to make the console show up.
At least that's how it works for PC, I don't think it should be any different for Macs.

I almost wish I didn't own it so I could get it free!

Because getting free things legally is awesome.

Everyone, get that bloody game! Even if you don't like Valve games.
Well free is good, I'll be grabbing it since if I don't like it then nothing is lost :)

That is quite correct good sir, I rarely use the Developer Console and thus thought the Developer Console was another name for the in-game Steam Community

Just make another one for this, don't have to use it once the freeness is over.
