So if the end of the countdown is good, then getting potatoes was a bad thing?
The Potatoes are making the game bars go faster.
[QUOTE=Night-Eagle;29277574]But it says KF will finish in 2 days 2 hours where The Ball will finish in 6:45. It also says The Ball is increasing faster than KF...
...or do you mean [i]after[/i] finishing The Ball?[/QUOTE]
No it means the ball is nearly full (oh god that sounds wrong), so we should leave it to natural players to complete it, whilst we focus on increasing the other games.

The potato's are acting as an extra power source... Imagine them as a overclock to the current speeds.
All of this was kind of pointless since it's being released in 17 hours.
You will get it 5 hours earlier or so and you spent money on the potato pack, why?

I spent my money on the potato pack because I liked the games.
What the fuck, that was alot of potatoes :(.

I never bought the potato pack... I own all the games from it that I like from previous sales.

Well, it certainly did a good job about spreading the news. Besides, games are games. Don't want the potato pack? Don't buy it.

You get a game you really wanted early, and you support 13 indie games in the process... Why not?

:]
That would be a feat, considering Amazon already shipped my copy to me (in transit for tomorrow)
The potatoes disappearing is a good thing. GLaDoS is using them for the overclocking, that's why the bars are moving much faster.
I dunno this whole thing seems scripted. Especially since killing floor has nearly 11,000 people playing it. And it's only moving at 1.08% per hour (estimated to finish 11 hours after this post).
Something is definately happening.

That whirring sound you hear is actually the combined resonance of marketing departments across the globe vibrating at 13,000 Hz.

Yes I understand it's a marketting vibe. Just so dumb Valve would pull it off on us... I thought they had thorough respect for their customers?

Killing Floor has more owners than the rest

Haha okay.

I highly doubt it is, and even if it is, still props to Valve for pulling off an absolutely amazing ARG.
And everyone ignores my post.
I think I know the reason why GLaDOS needs potatoes, its because it is now powered purely by POTATO BATTERIES
[QUOTE=xxncxx;29285859]And everyone ignores my post.[/QUOTE]
Probably because that was posted on the first page...
It's closing in fast.
Hot damn, going to be playing Portal 2 all night long.

I'd probably say I would be playing Portal 2 all morning long, but that would be less than an hour for me, so I'm going to have to wait a day. :smith:
I'm guessing the countdown will be over once Killing Floor and Super Meat Boy are done in about 45 minutes. Both shave off an hour of the clock and we'll be left with around half an hour.
There are so many potato batteries ;)
I'm going to bed in the Party Escort Submission Position.
Will get up around midnight to see if the release is out yet.

I'm going to play Amnesia to actually HELP OUT around here GOD
Wait what happened?
The candidate pool went from 9 to 54 :byodood:
I'm broke so are probably the only person on this forum who hasn't preordered Portal 2. I bet it's gonna get spoiled for me before I manage to find the money for it.
:saddowns:

what's wrong with a little showmanship
I thought this was a crappy idea at first but now I realize it's a great way to get people to preorder your game who haven't already, a great way to get people to buy stuff from steam, and a great way for people to try some great indie games they wouldn't otherwise try. Plus it does what valve do best and foster a sense of community, what with the ARGs and now this.
