Topic: Portal 2 Hype Thread

Haha thanks ok. I would pull my "it's late" excuse again, but I'm not quite that lame.
_{or am i?}

....Well, I got up this morning and its done downloading...off to class now...this rumor thing better be true, lol. I wanna play some of this game before dealing with homework this weekend. xD

@BGR Lucky bugger, I've got the servers busy repeatedly.

Also, some people have hacked the game and got videos of gameplay and stuff and the ending, so be warned about those videos.

Also, this is still part of Valves April Fools Day joke, official release date could be the time it comes out.

...April Fools?...But that doesn't make any sense! T_T
Some times i dunno whether to love Valve for making awesome games, or to hate them for doing this, lol...(not to mention for not RELEASING EPISODE 3 ALREADY! >_>)

@BGR The Potatoe whatever.

Doubt it though, cause pre-loads happen 48 hours before release.

They better happen 48 hours before release! lol

I thought most of those were from the 360/PS3 versions that someone got ahold of?

I'm ignoring them, don't want any spoilers!
1:33:00 on the clock left folks!

I'm going to assume that Apeture Countdown Clock is for the Portal 2 release based solely on this post.

Oh no, the Valve ARG wiki is down http://valvearg.com/wiki/Valve_ARG_Wiki
EDIT nevermind, it's back up.

55 minutes left!

Can we compare it to blizzards digital distribution?

And so 10 minutes are left, any last minute ideas?

@Aviator I'm feeling depressed because I won't be able to play the game until Tuesday.

I won't be able to play it until i downloads on my comp, which could take yonks.

If it isn't an early release, then I have no idea what it could be.
ONE MINUTE LEFT

What was it?

We CAN get it released early. Under certain conditions...
GET MORE POTATOES...

Looks like everybody screwed up...

09:00 – Hello again.
09:00 – I’ve been waiting a long time for this.
09:00 – I know it’s arriving later than expected.
09:00 – But I have a message for you:
09:00 – April Fools.
09:01 – I’m joking.
09:01 – Seriously, though:
09:01 – You’ve been surprisingly competent at
09:01 – generating electro-chemical energy to jumpstart the system.
09:01 – But now we need raw computational power
09:02 – to speed up the reboot process.

I'll admit, Valve may have outdone themselves on this one. It looks like by playing the Potato Sack games and getting potatoes we'll be able to speed up the Portal 2 release date on Steam. I just love the kinds of messages that this ARG is giving us, mainly the "FORGET YOUR SOCIAL LIVES AND START PLAYING MORE GAMES!!! YOUR REWARD FOR DOING SO IS MORE GAMES!!!" one.

EDIT: Looking at this again, this means that in order for me to help release the game early I'll have to play through the Amnesia expansion. Oh god am I going to have my nightmares haunted...

So do we need to PLAY the potato sack games or BUY them?
