You're forced to play Pointman though.

It's estimating it from the progress bar found here: [url]http://www.aperturescience.com/glados@home/[/url]
[QUOTE=robersdee;29195706]Of course it will take ages, its been a massive wild goose chase to sell a fucking indie pack.
Of course Valve has planned it so the needs are so high that it will unlock only very slightly early if at all, even just an hour or two early then they still look like heros. Great marketing and people are lapping it up buying this pack.
Its been mildly entertaining and its passed the time a little, but its giving people false hope, having a countdown to another countdown all these easter eggs (potatoes lol) making people buy indie games. Its a massive waste of time, the game wont reach the targets by release time anyway and by that time it will....be released officially.[/QUOTE]
I have to agree. I wonder how much Valve has made in sales off of this so far. I know a lot of people who bought that pack to have a shot at playing early and now the way this is looking, we'll be lucky to see it sometime during Sunday if not Monday. Why even bother with an early release?
Today would have been perfect, the weekend and such. Instead they basically had us solve a 2 week long ARG in order to tease us with another challenge. This early release is quickly becoming invalid and I'm losing my patience with Valve.

Christ, lighten up. It's not like they're trying to shift some shitty texture pack or something, these are some of the best indie games around. If Portal 2 gets released early then that's just a happy bonus.

Aww. 2 potatoes will be enough then.
Valve, spawn get a sudden surge of energy out of nowhere and release the game in time for Saturday, please.
Is there a list on how to get potatoes in the games?

To anyone who has pre-ordered through gamestop and can cancel it, do it and then pre-order through steam because those MASSIVE FAGGOTS will NOT BREAK STREET DATE even though VALVE WILL.
Almost at 4 bars. Good job so far guys.
Knowing Valve, I'm hoping that either tonight or tomorrow they give in, see the community pushing, and just green-light the release early. Otherwise, this is going to be a long ride.

I was hoping for an early release but it seems very very unlikely

I agree. The only games I had remote interest in from it would be KF and Audiosurf. I already own those. Valve has always been a good studio in my book but this is just secret and shameless marketing ploys. I'm not pleased when I see my friends dishing out 30$ for some indie games they'll never touch after this just so we can have a game 5 hours early. Unless we see a massive surge in the next few hours, that is going to be the case.

Giraffen, the best way to do is, pick normal pointman, and make sure to go for THE CUBES, CLEAN FINISH AND NO OVERFILLS
You can miss one or two cubes, and in some stretches you can just grab every block. Just remember that orange > blue, use those orange converters, never use blue converters and never convert when you still have cubes in your stack. Use the portal gun to place the cubes in empty or easy stacks,and concentrate on orange fillers.
Once you do a clean finish, with all the above at about 125000, your score should shoot up to 180000, giving you the potato.
Well at least it did on my run.

I'm trying to convince my brother to do so. We both split the dough to buy it but apparently he has "opinions" now.

Too much multitasking, can't play on something else than mono. And it's too fast. I just hit every block i could.
The Ball is pretty nice too. I got it as a Christmas gift.

I hated it. Played for 5 minutes. Never touched it again.
The only game in the pack I want to actively play is SMB, but I don't own it.
