No,
Just some little lower resource single player games.
My work has a firewall thicker that your head! lol - I haven't been able to get anything past it.

Apparently U3 is the type of chip that a company uses that allows for booting from the thumb drive. It is also the launch control program on those particular thumb drives.

www.portableapps.com might help
I can't look at the site as it is blocked for me.

I think this "business spec" laptop I'm using might be good enough to run TF2. I might give this a shot for those slow patches at work...

Loading TF2 off a thumb drive so I can play at work without having to install the game has nothing to do with portable apps or similar program?

wait, why would it be illegal if he owns the program?

because, he is modifying it into a form that it wasn't intended for which is against the law

I do believe that you are heading intoa bit of a grey area there.
Unless it is stipulated somewhere in the terms of agreement that it is NOT intended to be able to be installed and played from a removeable device, it is not illegal.
