Portal 2 is on sale today on Steam for 50% off. That's $25.

Anyone want to go in on a 2-pack together and get it for a huge discount of $22.50 (each copy)?

You can get Portal 2 at Amazon UK cheaper than that now (last time I looked about £12).

Jibz don't forget to join the DC Steam group to find Co-op partners ;)

Portal 2 at half price today only (10th July) on Steam - two packs are cheaper so if someone wants to share costs with another buyer today is the day! (Just over 23 hours remaining).

See http://store.steampowered.com/app/620/

Not to sidetrack this thread, but why has OpenGL never really seen wide adoption?
Because it kinda sucks compared to DirectX? :)

It used to have the upper hand, but at DX9 the tables definitely got turned. OpenGL might have extensions a bit faster then DX, but then a developer has to use different vendor-specific extensions to use all the new stuff - and wait a LONG time for the committee to accept it as a standard... with DirectX, you have to wait a bit longer before using the new features, but then it's one API (the thankfully did away with the caps system).

I remember seeing OpenGL as a driver option when playing duke nukem 3d back in the early 90s.
Original duke3d definitely didn't, you must have either found a 3d-card-vendor specific versions (which I kinda doubt - Quake was the first time that seemed to go mainstream), or have found a dedicated Windows port for it.
