    In the spirit of the release of Portal 2, I have 2 spare copies of the original Portal to give away on Steam.

    The way to get a copy is simple. Just PM me the original release date of Portal and the name of the city where the headquarters of the company that makes Portal is.

    I will update this post with the winners of the challenge.

    Happy searching!!

    UPDATE:
    Copy #1 : CompNub
    Copy #2 : MotionPictures

    UPDATED UPDATE:
    Both copies now in good homes...

    I don't think I'd call something anybody can look up on Wikipedia a "challenge".

    Considering that some people find it challenging to google some answer themselves or use the search function. I'd say searching for a date and a location in a wikipedia article is a step up in the difficulty level.

    Also, thank you ren3g7ade for offering free copies of games :)

    Haha, I just checked my steam account, I actually got it on that day where they had it free for 24 hrs. I'll donate this back to someone else who wants it! Keep the contest going for one more person!
