Also, there is likely more to this than just the early release of Portal 2. There's some morse code thing going on.

So far, none of the pototo prophecies have panned out. The potatoes... they do nothing!

[Jbo]

The whole promo with this potato thing is dumb

The potato is a lie!

The half million potatoes are now actively being used to power up the game or whatever. So I guess it does help.

[Hanni]

The potato really is a lie!

All of a sudden they are plummeting.

Test subjects now say 9 instead on 0. Apparently it has been released to a few people.

Valve shows again they are the best at trolling.

[Hack&Lube]

Right now the game is set to pre-release in about 6 hours at the current rate.

If you look at the aux power potatoes counting down, the counter is going about 10 potatoes a second. Work it out and in about 6 hours, the potatoes will reach zero. Glados is eating the potatoes?

Also, I spell like Dan Quayle.

I'm not working this week and all I want to do is play this damn game. The countdown is torture.

I have to wonder how many paid $40 for the potato pack to try and release the game the early and what is going to be, 12 hours early? Great marketing gimmick, valve must have made out like bandits.

[photon]

And they just released a small patch, but still no unlock. F'n trolls.

[SebC]

I'm predicting release in 11 minutes, after Killing Floor finishes.

[SebC]

Aww, killing floor did nothing.

[Hack&Lube]

By my estimate, the auxilliary power potatoes will run out in 8000 seconds = 2.22 hours.

[SebC]

T minus 60 minutes.

Countdown 1 h
Potatoes 2.22 h
Defense Grid 1.5 h
Amnesia 3 h

It's coming out at the end of the countdown.

[Slacker]

I hope the countdown is done before 10:36.

Anyone who got the golden potato just got the Valve Complete Pack for free... wish I had done it now. Guess I know what I'm doing the week before HL3.

[FanIn80]

What did "getting the gold potato" involve? All achievements in all the potato games?

[photon]

Each potato game had specific things to do to get the potatos.
