  2. Portal 1 is out but not Portal 2 by liamdawe · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Since Phoronix claimed originally it was both just to clear it up only Portal 1 is out for Linux, there are no hints about Portal 2 despite this article stating it and linking to a source for Portal 2 (the source of that info is an idiot). Daily linux gaming news can be found on www.gamingonlinux.com by the way :) where we actually check facts properly ;)

    In British English company names are considered collective nouns, and given that Timothy is British there does not appear to be any error here. For once.
