Did you also do
[quote]Then, in the console, login as "jsharman", password "Ultraz7x4". Run "cd recruitment", followed by, "recruit", you'll then be booted to the Steam overlay, and the Aperture audio page. [/quote]
[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;29178782]By my calculations, it will end at 9PM tomorrow.[/QUOTE]
Is it 5:00 AM for you right now? If not, retry your mathematics.

For anyone who forgot "4/19/2011_7AM=4/15/2011_9AM".
We good now? Remember, we apparently have been fucking around for sometime now because of the "infected" users. Now, we apparently need to look through older games and find "clews".

Thank fuck. The wiki just updated with the countdown and the end time. Now back to work.
I just checked usenet, Portal 2 for the 360 has been leaked.

No this is the official thread music.
So are we absolutely certain that this countdown leads to portal 2?
[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;29178864]I live in Valve's time zone, so :razz:[/QUOTE]
20 o' clock here (Michigan) + 16 hours = 36 o' clock
36 o' clock - 24 hours (1 day for tomorrow) = 12 o' clock noon
In Valve's time zone, that would be 9 AM.

No, we're not. There's no evidence it will, it's probably something bigger.

Hopefully, but it is possible for it to lead to something else.
If is released tomorrow, I will not go any on gaming-related websites until I get my PS3 copy.
I did the console thing exactly as it says.
The IRC for the game says you cant use a save file or cheat to get the gold medal for the level, you have to do it yourself, but that shouldnt be the reason why it denies my recruitment

Whoops.
I guess I'm too excited.

I just did less than 30 minutes ago with the save file linked on the wiki and got my potato just fine.

Nothing except "i released 'kick it' ahead of schedule. that was a test. my goal is to emancipate something else early."

You know, same thing that gave us "4/19/2011_7AM=4/15/2011_9AM"
[QUOTE=TysonQ7;29178879]The watcher has commented again.
Says we don't think.
I don't disagree.[/QUOTE]
Because people ignore me. I'm sure that music thread is more important.
Has anyone tried logging in to steam through their PSN? I just get sent to the store.
[QUOTE=Darkster;29179004]I just did less than 30 minutes ago with the save file linked on the wiki and got my potato just fine.[/QUOTE]
Alright
Ill try the same save file one more time, but i swear its only me who has this problem, because it says i have no clearence to recruit.
Another message from the Watcher.

We're done here.
I'm at work when the countdown reaches 00:00:00. Maybe I should tell my employer that I'm having a bad case of diarrhea? Probably a good idea.

Fuck the save file. We don't need more potatoes right now.

Because... We've done, what exactly since I posted his last message a few miniutes ago?
I think this is a ploy. Either that or the IRC works too fast.
Bet Your post won't be ignored.
*Grumble grumble*
Everyone to the anti leak bunker!

Tell him you're doing science.
Yeah - that's a good idea. I'll use it! Though the constant dripping of shit out my arse would be better and more "I REALLY CAN'T GO TO WORK TODAY!"
The watcher is G-man.. Holy fuck.
Dear Reader,
I underestimated you. You have, for want of a better word, surprised me.
Congratulations are in order. I am glad to see you have uncovered the meaning of the word you found embedded inside the map of the major metropolis.
Using this word you have blazed a trail forwards that not even my research was able to uncover.
I thank you for your hard work. May you eventually find freedom from SHE whom we both fear.
Please note, some of you are too fixated on the spelling of the word 'clew'. It may be that the way I spell 'clew' is indeed a clue, but not the kind you think.
Again, congratulations. You have somewhat redeemed yourselves in your own eyes. Only time will tell if you have redeemed yourselves in mine.
From what I can see, you have little more use for my guidance. Thus, until we meet again - this is where I get off.
Sincerely, He Who Watches From The Beginnin
So, we're almost there, we just need to find this "clew", find the last potato and wait for the Countdown to end.
Here we are folks, after two whole weeks, we're coming to an ending.
I'm so proud of you :')
The missing "g" in "Beginnin" is probably a clue.

G man.
Probably not.
