Portal Radio Update - Megathread Mark III - Games

O hay thar! I'm back lol - every day a new megathread

NEW THEORY: one of the BBS E.T.A. messages is "Late Eocene". Eocene is a greek work for Dawn. Knowing that the Valve offices open at 9 a.m. which is kinda late dawn, we could very well expect something before midday P.S.T. !

[QUOTE=Dlaor;20551698]Stupid question: what is A.R.G.?[/QUOTE] I suppose using Google was too hard? It stands for "Alternate Reality Game", which is a game played using real-world elements.

[QUOTE=Max of S2D;20551665][highlight]The progress bar is now at 52 / 76. [/highlight] That is 68%.[/QUOTE] What rate is it filling per day?

[QUOTE=loled;20551790]What rate is it filling per day?[/QUOTE] Out of 3 days it's already half way... something big might happen when that fills up. Such as a new update.

[QUOTE=loled;20551790]What rate is it filling per day?[/QUOTE] It doesn't advance linearly, more info at [url]http://portalwiki.net/index.php?title=The_Progress_Bar[/url]

[url]http://portalwiki.net/index.php?title=BBS_Dumps[/url] Nice compilation of the BBS dumps, here. [editline]08:07AM[/editline] also lol 276 reading

[QUOTE=Live2becool;20551798]Out of 3 days it's already half way[/QUOTE] It started at 38 steps out of 76...

[QUOTE=robowurmz;20551762]I suppose using Google was too hard? It stands for "Alternate Reality Game", which is a game played using real-world elements.[/QUOTE] Don't have to be an ass, A.R.G. can stand for a millions of things.

[highlight]New E.T.A. on the Progress Bar competion: March 5th, 4.30 a.m. P.S.T.[/highlight]

VALVe is testing our worthyness :woop: EDIT: -snip- EDIT: If those Agree rates meant yes to the question then...

[QUOTE=Laink;20551799]It doesn't advance linearly[/QUOTE] [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/ProjGraph_2010.03.04.png[/img] Looks pretty linear to me... sure, there IS some variation, but not enough to make us say it's not linear :v:

[url]http://portalwiki.net/index.php?title=Known_Images#Isometric_Room[/url] Also, you might want to post any additional theories as to what the pictures might be.

Did some quick wiki'ing. A Femtosecond is one millionth of one billionth of a second.

I always thought it had something to do with the fact Aperture Science use of test subjects. (Training Videos?)

[QUOTE=Max of S2D;20551879]Looks pretty linear to me... there's some variation but not enough to make us say it's not linear :v:[/QUOTE] Ew, it was written in the OP, so I thought... :v:

Damn, this is incredibly interesting. So, if I get this right, Gabe is receiving an award on the 11th of March, and something points to the date? Holy mother of god.

[QUOTE=alex525;20551968]Damn, this is incredibly interesting. So, if I get this right, Gabe is receiving an award on the 11th of March, and something points to the date? Holy mother of god.[/QUOTE] Finally I get to say late instead of being it.

[QUOTE=Laink;20551914]Ew, it was written in the OP, so I thought... :v:[/QUOTE] Gotta update that, sorry :ohdear: [editline]03:24PM[/editline] [QUOTE=aurum481;20551874]Does my new avatar sucks ?[/QUOTE] looks a bit too low res and cropped, but it's good

[QUOTE=Max of S2D;20551870][highlight]New E.T.A. on the Progress Bar competion: March 5th, 4.30 a.m. P.S.T.[/highlight][/QUOTE] Vancouver or Tijuana?

[QUOTE=alex525;20551968]Damn, this is incredibly interesting. So, if I get this right, Gabe is receiving an award on the 11th of March, and something points to the date? Holy mother of god.[/QUOTE] Yes, read the O.P. :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=Man in the Moon;20551976]Finally I get to say late instead of being it.[/QUOTE] Jeez, I have to go to school, I don't have time to check this thread 24/7, and I know it happened before, but never really got to see why it pointed towards the 11th, and as I said, I'm just making sure.

Shit, progress bar completes in 20 hours...? here we go D:

[QUOTE=alex525;20552018]Jeez, I have to go to school, I don't have time to check this thread 24/7.[/QUOTE] That's why I recap information in the O.P. :wink: [editline]03:29PM[/editline] [QUOTE=angrykid8;20552010]Vancouver or Tijuana?[/QUOTE] Valve Time.

[QUOTE=Max of S2D;20552041]That's why I recap information in the O.P. :wink: [editline]03:29PM[/editline] Valve Time.[/QUOTE] If you talking valve time, that means it will finish by the time the combine are here. That or the "Fast approaching distant past".

I made you a better header :buddy: [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/portal_arg.png[/img]
