You realize that this isn't an official twitter account right?

[thrawn2787]

Ok look here's everyone's options right now:

1) Play the potato games they have constantly to help shave minutes off the release date
2) Buy the whole potato pack ($40) and play the games to help shave more minutes off the release date
3) Go back in time 3 or 4 days ago and get the game early by pirating (FREE) it because some shit head 16 year old at some retail store stole a copy and put it on the internet.*

Now which option has the least cost and hassle, and gets you the game the earliest? I'm not saying they should've released it Friday, but I feel like it wouldn't have been such a slap to the face if they weren't trying to push this $40 "indie" pack on us. They could've still done an ARG that didn't lead anywhere, and had the game come out the 19th.

*Please note that I am not condoning piracy in anyway, if you pirate games you're just an ass.

I was talking about the fact that the overclock was a lie. Not that GLaDOS/someone else tweeted that.

This was inevitable

Notice the quotes and "It was said"?

We aren't even playing them. It's the fact they are just toying with us messing with us. The whole ARG thing was fine with them letting us play games for potatoes..back then it was fun. But now this is just a dick move by valve.

Thanks very very much.

Yeah, adding the possibility of releasing the game earlier, what assholes.

Yeah but they should have gone easier on us, most people don't have 24 hours a day to spare on video games.

That's not the dick move you tit. It's the fact that they're shoving these potato games down our throats for almost nothing. It wasn't that bad when it was just a sale with little relation to the ARG.
