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

[QUOTE=oO0Virus0Oo;29203274]But that's not what the potatoes are for, they don't decrease the timer. Timer reaches 0, when we reach the time valve told us portal 2 was going to be released. The potatoes help with the cores to fill the bars, if we get 100 bars before timer reaches 0 it will get released earlier.[/QUOTE] Yea but at this rate we're looking at 20 hours earlier. Unless these numbers blow up. But even then, so what is gets released a day early? All that work on the arg, the IRL locations, all that crap just for releasing early? I knew it was a marketing ploy but they could of made it more climatic.

[QUOTE=commandhat;29203439]We have word on how the progress bars work from Dougley! :buddy: So according to that logic, people buying the whole sack hurt our progress. Ouch, valve. Ouch. :smith:[/QUOTE] I know of atleast 6 people who got the pack to help. welp

This is taking forever, why not just release it now?

[quote]The more times a certain game has been bought, the more you have to play it to [B]unlock it[/B].[/quote] I'm thinking this implies something happens when that bar fills up. Guess we'll find out here in another couple hours.

[QUOTE=Wootman;29203334]I just preordered Portal 2![/QUOTE] Where's mine?!

Now it's like 1 bar half an hour, this is picking up speed!

[QUOTE=OpethRockr55;29203527]I'm thinking this implies something happens when that bar fills up. Guess we'll find out here in another couple hours.[/QUOTE] Was a really stupid grammar error on my part. Was quickly typing up the paste bin so it could be spread around as fast as possible.

an instant 50% on the progress when a game is filled up?

If more potatoes continue to be acquired perhaps we can get it more than 1 day earlier. Let us wait, only time will tell.

But they have run out of licenses for the wonderful of the world apparently

[QUOTE=OpethRockr55;29203527]I'm thinking this implies something happens when that bar fills up. Guess we'll find out here in another couple hours.[/QUOTE] Well, that means we'll find out soon. Just look at The wonderful end of the world, the bar is almost filled up!

[QUOTE=augustus;29203564]The vast, vast majority of ARGs have nothing "climactic" at the end. Just "remember to buy our product, thanks guys"[/QUOTE] B-b-but... Valve wouldn't do that to me. :(

Guys remember, tomorrow is the start of the weekend, a lot more people will be on.

I'm kind of appreciative that they're making us work for it. Making us actually play games. It's an interesting way to do this.

What the...The TWEOTW percentage on: [url]http://dev-zilla.net/[/url] just went down from 88% to 75%.

[QUOTE=ana-r3x3a;29203598]I'm kind of appreciative that they're making us work for it. Making us actually play games. It's an interesting way to do this.[/QUOTE] I'm just happy about Indie developers and their games getting a great attention.

erm did the wonderful end of the worlds bar just go down?

[QUOTE=nibbler234;29203327]I have two Killing Floor guest passes that I will give to whoever doesn't have a potato game, but wants to get at least 3 potatoes. All you have to do is promise me that you will play the game to help the rebooting process go fast. PM me with your email or steam login ID.[/QUOTE] I've got SMB, but my PC is too crap to run it. On that thought, I probs can't run KF either.

I noticed that too, but I read the top. His calculations were wrong, so I'm assuming they are fixed now.

[QUOTE=HazzaHardie;29203636]erm did the wonderful end of the worlds bar just go down?[/QUOTE] Valve got angry nobody was buying it enough, so they lowered it out of anger.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;29203582]Guys remember, tomorrow is the start of the weekend, a lot more people will be on.[/QUOTE] We we we so excited?

Ok guys, I've got 7 hours to kill. What game should I play.

With it all being based on Sales/Players I'd say a bunch of people just bought the game or pack making the total time required or whatever, higher.

[QUOTE=Coffee;29203678]Ok guys, I've got 7 hours to kill. What game should I play.[/QUOTE] All of them

The Wonderful End of the World

[QUOTE=Murdoco;29203624]What the...The TWEOTW percentage on: [url]http://dev-zilla.net/[/url] just went down from 88% to 75%.[/QUOTE] Just look at the bar on the progress page. Looks a lot more like 75% than 88%.
