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

Didn't he have a full friends list before? Its at 7 now.

So, am I completely incompetent or something? I've been getting the potatoes left and right, but the Ball one seems to elude me. I've even tried replacing the save with one that is apparently set up perfectly, but all that did was erase my saves.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;29176513]Where have I seen his Avatar before?[/QUOTE] First arg.

[QUOTE=tyler3497;29176525]Didn't he have a full friends list before? Its at 7 now.[/QUOTE] Maybe he asked Valve to remove all the random friends he got while his account was controlled.

I think we're powering up a homicidal computer with all these potatoes. The infected Steam user Trickboss is communicating with seemed to be calling for help but GLaDOS seems to be sending misleading messages through the user. "Don't listen to me" and "Get back to work". Does that really sould like something a human would say?

is this right? [quote]Complete CHAS with a gold medal (any difficulty) and earn the achievement "Few and Proud". 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] i did it, and get "you dont have clearence for this action"

[QUOTE=GreenDolphin;29176253]Oh please enlighten me, I haven't seen this at all.[/QUOTE] I think he was referring to the time we were trying to find the Director from Left 4 Dead. We found this: [img]http://alphastudiossoftware.nl/royzoisthedirector.png[/img]

He used to have a bunch from a group I was in with him.

The doctor is dead.... Dr Freeman ?

[QUOTE=letoasterfou;29176635]The doctor is dead.... Dr Freeman ?[/QUOTE] It's his original Custom ID. Not part of the ARG.

Wouldn't it be funny if those "assimilated users" are just a bunch of people trolling the community. They discovered a secret that changes their banner, and instead of sharing it they use it to troll everyone. That's what I would have done given the opportunity anyway.

I hadn't been able to purchase anything on Steam since Sunday. I finally got a reply from Steam support yesterday instructing me to delete everything in the Steam folder but the Steamapps folder and Steam.exe. I try restarting my computer and it hangs on the Windows logo. I shut down and start up again and it's asking me to repair my Windows install. :/ Great ARG Valve!

Political Gamer, can you officer me now that you own the group? I've done the last 5 news updates

[QUOTE=C4rnage;29176608]is this right? i did it, and get "you dont have clearence for this action"[/QUOTE] The important thing right now is if you have the achievement "Few and Proud". If you do then in the console log into "Jsharman" and type "volunteer". Then run the "cd recruitment" again, followed by "recruit".

[QUOTE=Mister Royzo;29176695]Dr. Kleiner[/QUOTE] Thats a good one. but [sp] eli is dead [/sp]

[QUOTE=Mister Royzo;29176725]In what way is that the ARG's fault?[/QUOTE] It was a joke. The repair worked and all I had to reinstall so far was Chatzilla. Anyway it worked and I was finally able to purchase Portal 2 and Magicka Vietnam.

Did anyone else tighten their tinfoil hat when some people got "taken"? :tinfoil:

[QUOTE=KingKombat;29176756]:colbert: i expected better royzo[/QUOTE] Allow me to rephrase: In what way is that the ARG's fault? Usually Valve fixes technical issues with deadly precision :yohoho:

Even with the defense grid save file i still cant recruit and get that last potato. Guess im screwed.

[QUOTE=GreenDolphin;29176792]I think this says more about your system than it does about Steam and Valve.[/QUOTE] There have been many users experiencing purchasing issues lately. And the SPUF rules state not to post about account issues on the forums. Here's one such thread however with other users having issues [url]http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1835624[/url] I would say the issue is with Steam. I never had any problems with anything else at the time.

I'm very amazed at how we can get multiple communities that hate each other to work together. Even the communities that hate each other.

[QUOTE=ana-r3x3a;29176957]I'm very amazed at how we can get multiple communities that hate each other to work together. Even the communities that hate each other.[/QUOTE] Yes I'm glad that we all work together on this. Even work together.
