That doesn't give you a right to steal their hard work, in fairness.

Then wait for the official release, dont use pirated version then whine when it crashes to desktop because of a bad crack.

eh, I think valve have themselves to blame for not releasing worldwide same day. Same goes for any company that holds software/movies back across the world. I'm not condoning piracy in any way but I think it's down right retarded of a company to moan about piracy when they stagger release dates worldwide for no real reason, considering how easy it is to download content nowadays. It just annoys your customer base. It's even worse considering spoilers and memes spread across the Internet within hours of the first country getting it.

That doesn't make any sense, the release staggering only effected retail copies; Steam release was global.

And if you're in a position to be able to download Portal 2, then you can also download it via Steam.

There is a reason, different regions release games on different days.

Got my PS3 copy this morning. Gonna be home in a few hours, no cookies for guessing what I'll be doing over the weekend! I'm on Steam and PSN if you want to co-op. Singh400 is the name :D Although my PS3 is over wireless so I'll more than likely be on PC/Steam playing it.

Added ya! I'm strelok1911

Completed this today. It was okay. As usual for a valve game it was very polished and it had lots of attention to detail. For me, the gameplay got a bit boring. I think with the new elements it was just enough to call it a sequel. The entire game feels like 1/3 of a full game to me though (not just in length but also in variety, it just got kind of stale).

I get home to link up PSN and Steam and I find PSN is offline for maintenance... wtf? :(
Apparently it could takes two days to fix this. This is according the official blog! I'm not happy :angry:
Just bought the PS3 version... I'd be lying if I said that I am not going to just link it up to my Steam account, download it on PC and then trade-in/sell the PS3 copy.
Well done you(!) Congrats on abusing the system (N)

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.

      I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
