Ugh. Right up until now I've been hopeful of getting Portal 2 released at any reasonable time on Monday GMT but it doesn't seem like it's going to happen. Even for Americans on the East coast it hardly seems worth it, the only people that benefit at all from this are Americans on the Pacific coast... That is if we were actually able to complete this damned thing, which even that doesn't seem likely. I'm not angry at Valve about it, it's only another day, but why raise all or hopes just to dash them so horribly? Yes, I know they didn't promise anything or that we're in any way entitled to something more than just the game but I am very disappointed that all this "work" since Friday has been for pretty much, nothing.. I think if you tell your fans that they have a chance to unlock a game early it's foolish not to expect them to try their damndest to get it released at least a day earlier. If you don't satisfy your fans at least lowest expectations (in this case a Monday release), well, prepare for the nerd rage. To be honest I would have thought that Valve knew their fans a bit better than this. Valve fans seem to be particularly susceptible to hyping things up to epic proportions and I wonder if Valve took that into consideration. Unless of course they still have something up their sleeve. The only modicum of hope I have left for any reasonable early release is for this rumoured "overclock" thing to kick in soon. Otherwise this entire early release thing has been absolutely pointless and I've wasted my weekend (despite the fact I would have wasted it anyway) :( Sorry for the wall of text....
I'm sorry but Valve has to take chances and do something new; you hear Gabe talking all the time about "Well this has never been done before so we didn't know what to expect", well this is one of those times. They gather data from this, important data, so when they try this again (probably not) they will come in more informed about their community
HNNNNNNG gotta finish Audiosurf for portal-ly goodness
eighty fucking percent people so close
Honestly, if everyone could play until about 8 we could probably finish by then. We made it to about 20% in that time span on the first day, if I remember correctly.

We will not make it, the only viable option is to test out the "stop playing" theory. Right now there isn't much proof, but we have to try
Its a pity I own none of the Potato games :V

I would like to have thought that they had some kind of plan if things got out of hand, such as the "overclock" I've been reading of. Well, the weekend's over and with everybody back at work at Valve there's a higher chance of intervention on Valve's part now. At least that's what I keep telling myself *Rocks back and forth in the fetal position*

They said putting a man on the moon was stupid BUT THEN WE TRIED They said lightbulbs were stupid BUT THEN WE TRIED You're saying not playing is stupid BUT WE HAVEN'T TRIED YET
