K ill just leave it open... well if its playtime, steam was counting the playtime of all those games I had running.[/QUOTE]
yes, but only the 1st one (the one you see in "xxx is playing" on your community page) counts
[QUOTE=Max of S2D;29211064]yes, but only the 1st one (the one you see in "xxx is playing" on your community page) counts[/QUOTE]
Oh I see.

[QUOTE=Qwerty Bastard;29211063]Something tells me Valve was counting on WAY more people playing these games, but I've barely seen one go over 5000 people.[/QUOTE]
It's a Friday though.
Weekend might effect it, according to studies average age and gender of gamers are 32 and male.
That would mean a-lot of them have jobs. (hopefully)

Part of me kinda hoped that Valve was actually using our processing power for something.
You know, like folding@home except for rendering an Episode3 trailer =3

You know it's not real right? they aren't really getting more processing power from potatoes and played hours.
EDIT: Does idling work? It says it doesn't but that might just be bullshit stopping us from doing it?

Some say idling works, some say it doesn't. It's really hard to test which one is wrong.

Yes I know, Thus I added the phrases, [I]"Part of me kinda [B]Hoped[/B] that valve was [B]actually[/B]... Etc"[/I]
Technically you can light a light bulb with a potato though.

I'm going to bed... Night...
I just bought a potato on KF, now it's come up with that password thing. Do I need that :confused:?
[QUOTE=Black-Ice;29211193]I just bought a potato on KF, now it's come up with that password thing. Do I need that :confused:?[/QUOTE]
Yes, the password is: failed experiments
Yes you need to answer the password to get the potatoes.
I think my dual core will not suffice to help power GLaDOS :ohdear:
:v:
I bet they calculated some exact predictions ot not get it out earlier then one day ahead.
My KF won't join any servers, it just keeps on a black screen, then the game crashes. Happened twice now.
Anyone willing to trade killing floor for a humble bundle 1 code?

The sack games seem to be glitched.
My audiosurf doesn't work anymore either
Eight servers, I give up. It's just not working anymore.
[editline]16th April 2011[/editline]
And it was also using like 1.3gb of my 2gb of Ram during the crash time. It was rising.
Some people are just oblivious to the whole "Starting more than 1 game is useless" thing.

How so? Steam still records the playtime on them.
The bars are tied to [url]http://store.steampowered.com/stats/[/url] , which are tied to the same thing that says "Is playing _____", which can only show 1 game at a time.
[QUOTE=GhostSonic;29211738]How so? Steam still records the playtime on them.[/QUOTE]
No, only the game that you can see in the steam community, for example blablabla is playen KF. even if he is running SMB at the same time, it doesn't count.

Does anyone have a spare AudioSurf?
[QUOTE=MasterG;29211783]Steam can only tell that you're playing one game.[/QUOTE]
Then how did it record my play time in each game?
This is a purely hypothetical question (as I fortunately don't know anyone who works at a gamestop), but what would happen if you were to get the PS3 version early and register the code to get the Steam copy? Would you get it early or would there be some system clusterfuckery?
Obviously nobody but Valve knows this but it's interesting to ponder.
Just found out I can create a listen server, but it still crashes when it changes to the next map.
Seriously, this is pissing me off. How do you fix it, and is anyone else having this problem?
[QUOTE=MasterG;29211862]It may record the play time, but the progress bar doesn't count that, it just does a basic check to see "What appid is this user running? Is it a potato sack game? If yes, which game is it?" It doesn't check how LONG you've been playing it for either.[/QUOTE]
What do you have to support this claim?
Anyone wanna gift me killing floor? I could earn some more potatoes, and I will give you a humble indie bundle 1 key for steam I haven't used.
[QUOTE=wxcvbn999;29212087]Anyone wanna gift me killing floor? I could earn some more potatoes, and I will give you a humble indie bundle 1 key for steam I haven't used.[/QUOTE]
Just saying if someone wanted the humble indie bundle that bad they would buy it for a nickle. Since at least that will give the people some amount of money.
[QUOTE=MasterG;29211895]Anyone fancy gifting me 1 2 3 kick it? I want to help.
[/QUOTE]
Wait, people are actually willing to gift games just to get the game out sooner?
In that case I want to help the fudge out.
I just got the two potatoes from the Justine DLC for Amnesia... my heart is still beating in my throat. :ohdear:
should I idle amnesia or killing floor? They are the only 2 potato games I have.
