[QUOTE=scotland1;29215912]Did I say the whole pack? No. Even buying one game for, as I said, a few quid would help.[/QUOTE]
If you re read my post you'd see that I mentioned that as well. Not everyone has even that much to spend on extra games if they ordered Portal 2.
They are giving us a chance to have it released early. You should be happy, so stop bitching.
[QUOTE=booster;29215824]Valve didn't really think this one through did they?[/QUOTE]
Maybe they did, and just wanted to release on time they originally set, and just to give the people the false illusion that we may help by buying games
[QUOTE=Meatpuppet;29215865]...you know we're already getting it 16 hours before scheduled release, and that will only increase
[/QUOTE]
Actually, no. We've been loosing time for awhile now. I think we've lost 8 hours of progress since yesterday when End of the Wold finished (iirc).
Its not like we don't get the game if we don't complete it.
I like how everyone has become so bitter in the past day.

Also, it said in the Email that idling doesn't work, steam records your keyboard movements.[/QUOTE]
Email please.
After we see what this bar does for us we should do BIT.TRIP BEAT.
Please calm down. If you just would pay attention, I could ease the pain a little.
[QUOTE=Fhux;29215926]And why are everyone bitching about it?
If you don't want to participate, don't participate. You don't have to. You're not getting the game later than originally.[/QUOTE]
Everyone is bitching because it seems so pointless, the amount of hours required will take us into Tuesday before we are done anyway.
I mean the whole ARG which was bloddy awesome just led to this, which will ultimately lead to nothing so now it is just lame.

What about games like Audiosurf, and 1 2 3 where you can just use a mouse?

Admittedly, we're pretty much being taunted by Valve, and the taunting is getting to people.

Not me! :v:
[QUOTE=scotland1;29215960]I like how everyone has become so bitter in the past day.[/QUOTE]
Well when we've made such little progress. ~25% in one day, the game will be released in 4 days from Friday, which is Tuesday anyway.
[QUOTE=scotland1;29215960]I like how everyone has become so bitter in the past day.[/QUOTE]
This is what Valve does to us.. :(
We've been given the chance at early release, yes, but we have to work hard for it. So what's the point of working hard if we're not really going to get it that early at all. That's what people are annoyed about, but still, time to get some hours in I suppose.
Updates to Killing Floor have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:
* Addressed an issue where client would hang on connecting to servers
* Various map bug and exploit updates
* Her chamber has been opened... Help Us
what?

How do you know this is [i]the end[/i]? :colbert:
123 kickit is 70% done, Keep it up!
Wow, I can't believe how serious some of you lot are taking this. It's supposed to be a fun little voluntary exercise to help launch the game early. Calm the fuck down.
If we managed to get the bar to 100%,I bet Valve will do this:[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTR5EVI1TK8[/url]
[QUOTE=Meatpuppet;29215865]
you're a fucking idiot too. nobody here is entitled to get portal 2 earlier than its scheduled release yet you lot are whining because you are able to get it released ahead of schedule[/QUOTE]
My problem was with your self-flagellation.
If you want my opinion on the early release, I think a brilliant ARG is now ending in a depressing failure. The whole thing feels like a waste of time now.
Frankly, at this point I would have preferred it if they'd just released it Tuesday. No hype. Just a good game.
[QUOTE=scotland1;29215960]I like how everyone has become so bitter in the past day.[/QUOTE]
I wouldn't call it "bitter" I'm ecstatic about the game coming out but it seems like the whole ARG was flushed down the shitter.
At this point I just feel like waiting till Tuesday, seeing as this will take till Monday or Early Tuesday to complete I just don't see the need to be so concerned about it, I can be a bit more patient for what will be possibly one of the greatest games ever.
In Killing Floor, I am unable to buy the potato even though I have enough money.... help?

I just don't like how this ARG has turned from puzzle solving into a waiting game.

No solo mode.
Alright, I'm gonna leave Amnesia running on the Launch thingo overnight as I imagine 123 will be 100% Long before I wake up.
I wish the bars didn't auto update, I liked to refresh and see how much more had been done.

I fail to see why everyone in this thread assumes any sort of criticism of the ARG means they're "serious" and need to calm down.
I'm having a blast playing some of the indie games, and would have without the ARG, I'm just saying that the ARG which took days to crack led to something that has no real purpose aside from shaving some hours of the release, which like I said being this such a great game I'm happy to wait till Tuesday for anyway.
It is fun that's true but if Valve would have thrown us a bone and this gets done by late today or early/late tommorow I'll retract my criticism.
i can provide at least eight bits of aux power
if only you paid attention to my problem
