OK, here's what I'm trying to figure out. The PS3 version of Portal 2 comes with a code for the PC version. Would I be able to buy Portal 2 for PS3, enter that code directly into Steam, and get the PC version without even needing a PS3? Or do I have to do something in the PS3 version of the game to get the free PC copy? Anyone know for sure exactly how it works?

I think the code just works on PC with nothing required on PS3 side. A couple of my mates have done a deal to buy the PS3 version and give away the PC codes to other mates.

Why would you use a controller for this game? :/

Why not?

Controllers has been around for PC for a long time. not just recently. Remember MS Sidewinder controllers, they came out before 2000 and were very popular. It's a matter of preference. You might like mouse and keyboard but there are some that has computer set up in a way that makes a controler more comfortable to use like a media centre PC with a large screen and no where comfortable to use mouse or keyboard in that position.

Ever try playing portal on a laptop with the computer on your lap? These are possibilites that suits different people.

Been playing it for a few hours, love it!

in the retro 60's style test chambers with the repulsion gel in the abandoned section and just found the dry dock for the Borealis, so we now know it was one of their early experiments that they later abandoned, the plot thickens! (only thing that puzzles me is why would a dry dock for a ship be deep underground? :/ )

It wasn't abandoned iirc, something else happened ;)

    • First NVIDIA-powered Windows laptops reportedly debut next week

      I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍

      Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • Until Dawn 2 revealed featuring new cast, new story, and new developer

      All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
