It will be here just after Phoronix breakes the Guinesse World Record for the longest thread ever.

Quite a long thread indeed. And my first post! I didn't want to look through it all, but I assume the Portal 2 files and previous discoveries were found.

Did anyone mention Postal 3's Source Engine use and native Linux client? It's been confirmed by Running With Scissors; they and their development partners may have been tasked with helping Valve get Source up to par for Linux (which was rumored that Valve was seeking outside help.. from an unnamed Valve employee here in Seattle).

I haven't heard anything that indicates that this is "confirmed", although, if I recall correctly Running With Scissors said they will hopefully have a Linux version for Postal III, can you back up this statement?

It's exactly one year now since the Steam Mac client has been released.
Good time to give up hope? I don't want to.

Yeah, there hasn't been any official news of it except a Wiki entry and some comments. Unfortunately, I can't really tell you who told me and I know it sounds like B.S (say it if you want), but rest assured it IS going on. Once the client is announced, I'll spill my guts happily. We might get that announcement at the end of the year, but that may be too soon; 2012 will probably be a better year for it.

Never! May Duke Nukem Forever instill hope in the hearts of the unfaithful.

If today shall be my birthday, then Steam is still on track to be announced in 2011.
