#PotatoFoolsDay v3 - Science rhymes with Compliance. Do you know what doesn't? Potatoes - Games

[QUOTE=augustus;29216240]You guys got spoiled by the excitement of the Portal 2 announcement ARG. 99.99% of ARGs don't end in anything important. It's supposed to be a fun diversion.[/QUOTE] I agree and it is a fun diversion, but it is kind of lame. At first I thought it was a really cool idea by Valve. getting everyone to collaborate to get the game earlier but seeing the current progress just makes the game seem pointless, all I'm asking for is Valve to throw us a bone, I'm not "mad" as most people in this thread are stating, I could easily enough wait for the original release date and am just as excited as everyone else about Portal 2 being released, but it would be nice to have this game seem like it actually had some impact.

[QUOTE=HazzaHardie;29216221]Its not going to come out early [i]at all[/i] thats [b]because[/b] people are bitching[/QUOTE] Fixed.

Again, the reason why everyone is mad is over these seemingly false pretenses. "HELP US RELEASE PORTAL 2 EARLY*" [i]Only if you rally up everyone who has ever bought the game, not just those participating in the ARG, even those who don't care about Portal 2[/i] [i]Then amass millions of combined play hours total[/i] [i]Assuming you can manage that, enjoy getting your game 3-6 hours early[/i]

ERRYBODY START PLAYING 123KICKIT WE CAN DO THIS SHIT MANG ONLY 30 MORE

Almost 1/4 million potatoes.

Sigh, I was happy when I thought it was coming out last night. the day it actually comes out (And still will come out) I won't have a PC/internet [editline]16th April 2011[/editline] oh well, it'll be waiting for me. Alone

There is no way we could have gotten everyone who bought the Potato Pack to play the games. We currently have <1% of all Steam users participating. Valve overestimated by a huge amount. Unless they intended to do this just to generate more sales.

Okey, I think the idling in KF is working: [media]http://filesmelt.com/dl/2011-04-16_00001.jpg[/media] [media]http://filesmelt.com/dl/2011-04-16_00002.jpg[/media] I will stay there idling all the day. Once again, the mob got stucked somewhere and I stay safe in that chamber.

[QUOTE=Ray-The-Sun;29216309]It... kind of is. We're 15 hours ahead of the planned release. When you average it out, it's gonna come out at around 6 hours, but it's still earlier.[/QUOTE] But having such a huge game like this and only having it shave 6 hours off, makes it feel stupid, It would have been cooler to have had the ARG link to some awesome cinematic or something and have the original date rather then have the current CPU Game Valve sent us which ends up having minimal impact and annoying most of the community. It just seems like it was in order to get profit, not that doing so is such a taboo thing, but it just seems like a douche move, I mean at the end of this we'll have the game 6 hours early but Steam sales would have sky-rocketed.

I can finally die in peace. Golden Potato! :dance: [url]http://steamcommunity.com/id/smashman2004[/url]

How about this. Instead of idling, which might not work, why don't you play some fun indie games?

[QUOTE=Ezhik;29215921]So I got the Potato Sack, and uh.. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynPFYLvcxeo[/media] What the fuck? My speakers are making this dumb noise all the time now. Need help.[/QUOTE] That's a SSTV signal. It's basically an image converted to sound. Someone should convert the sound back to an image.

Don't think anyone cares because it won't change anything, but KF is at 10%

Well we're about to go onto the 24 hour mark in roughly 10 minutes. If Valve was going to give us a status update/boost/anything of morale confidence, get ready for it. Otherwise we're fucked.
