MediaPortal is designed specifically for Microsoft Windows, unlike most other open-source media center programs such as MythTV and Kodi, which are usually cross-platform. The MediaPortal source code was initially forked from XBMC (now Kodi), though it has been almost completely re-written since then. It interfaces with the hardware commonly found in HTPCs, such as TV tuners, infrared receivers, and LCD displays. Plugins allow it to perform additional tasks, such as watching online video, listening to music from online services such as Last.fm, and launching other applications such as games. It provides a 10-foot user interface for performing typical PVR/ TiVo functionality, including playing, pausing, and recording live TV playing DVDs, videos, and music viewing pictures and other functions. MediaPortal is an open-source media player and digital video recorder software project, often considered an alternative to Windows Media Center. It was the best-selling game in the US and the UK the first week of its release and retained its top spot in the UK during its second week. Gibson Media helped Portal 2 reach the North American and European markets through a wide variety of advertising tactics to help this title exceed its sales goals. Unlike Valve’s previous titles that appeal to the hardcore male gamer, Portal 2 is a lighter, humorous game that appeals to both casual and hardcore gamers alike. Advertising focused on areas where teenagers and kids aggregate malls and schools as well as highly visible/high traffic areas. Since Portal 2 was rated E for everyone, this allowed us too expand our age demo and target mothers and teens as well. While reaching hard core gamers was key, expansionary segments were necessary to make a profit. Critics worried that a sequel had a high potential to flop, or not do the original title justice. With the release of Portal 2, Valve engaged Gibson Media’s help to reach a community that was highly anticipating a sequel to the beloved Portal game.
