Half Life 2 Files in Portal Download?
Okay, so I was going through my games files in my C:\Program_Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Portal and I noticed that the only application file was titled "hl2.exe" and there was a file folder called "hl2", which was full of a bunch of game files for Half Life 2. Does this mean that they secretly stashed Half Life 2 inside of Portal? If so, how do I set it up to install?

Portal uses same files as Half Life since its the same engine (Source engine).
Portal uses hl2.exe to launch itself.
You need to buy Half-Life 2 in order to play it since Portal only has partial files for it.

Ah, okay. Now it's all making sense.
