Help release Portal 2 Early.

[QUOTE=BiscuitCookie;29238763]One question. What is the average time between bar updates?[/QUOTE]

I'd say 6 to 8 hours between.

[Worstcaze]

[QUOTE=Black-Ice;29238624]We now have 3 hours, 12 minutes and 10 seconds shaved off the original schedule[/QUOTE]

Holy fuck.. After this event we are gonna realize how unimaginably retarded we have been, working day and night to shave a few hours off the game.

This is the most pathetic bullshit ever, I mean, I could understand if we had shaved like 12 hours off already, that would have made a little difference, but fucking [i]3 hours[/i], it's the biggest joke in the world.

[sarevokh]

Stop posting here and go play Cogs :)

(ah, Hell, it's like a mass of fanatic's trying to resurrect their obscure God... Screw you Valve!).

[Oskutin]

Over potato glados!
[QUOTE=Dlaor-guy;29238724]That means we have 17891 potatoes remaining. If we calculate how many potatoes we get per minute, we can calculate the time left.

WE CAN DO THIS.[/QUOTE]
That will just take couple of hours!

We have to sacrifice more virgin blood.

[Frugle]

Go play with your Cogs now!

I have no cog :frown:
I mean cogs.

You don't know what's going to happen. Maybe Valve has something planned for a certain amount of potatoes... [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/img]

[Gordon Frohm]

In COGS right?

Is level 3 "pipes" impossible in the Steam version?

(looks diffrent than in this walkthrough video:[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS010AgWqZE[/url] )

I don't have those extra round pipes... :eek:

I just found the one at the top

update: nevermind, I solved it anyway

My guess is 500,000.

Also I'm useful for Amnesia, SMB and Audiosurf.

I think it would have made more sense if the event started about 1 month before release.

what does that window do anyway? I got that when I finished the Rush Portal 2 levels

[NanoSquid]

3 hours? Wow, fuck this.

[BiscuitCookie]

[QUOTE=Whomobile;29238786]I'd say 6 to 8 hours between.[/QUOTE]

I mean % updates not bar completions

Also maybe if we would have started on the bigger games we would have gotten more time shaved off

I'm almost certain the effect is exponential.
The first 30% was about 40 minutes, 40% was an hour and a half an now 56% is 3 hours.
Following this logic, the later percentages will take entire hours off at a time. Don't give up.

[NanoSquid]

How are you guys calculating time we're saving anyway?

[Quq]

[QUOTE=NanoSquid;29239059]How are you guys calculating time we're saving anyway?[/QUOTE]

by taking the average percentage gain per hour, then dividing 100 by the result to yield the approximate number of hours until release (assuming a constant rate), then subtracting the 94 hours or whatever the original figure was from that number to get the difference

[FlashFireSix]

today I woke up, logged into steam, hovered over portal 2, closed my eyes, clicked, prayed that it would say play and not pre-load

:saddowns:

It just play some audio to notice you of a potato acquirement.

That doesn't make up for the frustration they have caused already. Isn't an event like this supposed to be fun? Not "LOLOLOL you guys suck you are not gonna make it" and then give us a boost when we have been raging for 2 days?

[ThePutty]

It hardly seems worth it to be honest. 3 hours? Even with most of them completed we're still looking at maybe 12 or so hours off which to me isn't worth 3 days of idling, and 14 days of ARG. It's like, why even bother if the reward is shit?

[FOOJE08]

Well, at least I get to play at 9PM instead of Midnight on Tuesday, thanks guys :unsmith:

What does the green time mean?

[HALPMEIMDYING]

Would it be safe to say that we'll end up being at least 8 hours ahead of schedule by the time this is over?

Everybody needs to go to the Nelipot page and invite every single friend. The more the better.

why not just use the time after "Default boot scheduled to finish in" and substract the time above it?

That's a confusing as fuck way to figure it out. My way is piss easier, more like year 2 math :frog:

As far as I'm aware you only get the potato from that if you own at least 1 Potato pack game, so select the correct friends
