[Gandie]

We, we, we so excited, we so excited!

 

[OmegaDragon]

10 minutes

I'm really curious what it''s going to be.

 

[hamchan]

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it

 

[rossonero]

Hopefully the two-pack deal will still be on even if they release Portal 2 in 9 minutes.

 

[ExMachina]

The hype got to me, Portal'd up my Magnus avatar. =] Sooo close to countdown...

 

[DaBuddaDa]

Portal 2 was delayed for one month a while ago, from March to April. It'd be funny if that delay was entirely because they wanted to do this ARG and needed the extra time.

 

[Lasthope106]

We are in the single digits folks.

Really interesting interview with Valve, especially with multi platform games and buying a single copy. They truly are gods.

"Our goal ultimately is that folks pay for a game and then whatever platform they sit down in front of it's there for them. That just seems right, that's the way your music is.
You don't pay for it in your car stereo and on your home stereo, it's just YOUR music. For us that's a philosophical goal to get to."

 

[derFeef]

It's getting closer!
But one question, why are there still several Portal 2 threads, there is this wonderful OT where we can share our excitement. Skimming two (three) thread is not fun.

 

[Ryn]

I don't remember the last time I've been this antsy for a video game to release.

 

[.nimrod]

i already posted this in the friday release thread, but since it's really urgent i'll repeat myself:

I'm looking for someone from UK gaf to gift me and my buddy the portal 2 2-pack. I's 33% cheaper in the UK store than in the german one.

I'll paypal in advance.

Spoiler

oh pleasepleaseplease UK gaf, help us out. We need this! D:

 

[L00P]

Five minutes bros!!!!

 

[snack]

Five minutes until take off.

 

[hamchan]

Y'know, it would kinda suck if I died at this very moment and missed the big reveal.

 

[JoeBoy101]

I can handle non-release, just don't want another puzzle. Let it be suitably epic.

2:30!

 

[wenis]

Y'know, it would kinda suck if I died at this very moment and missed the big reveal.

you know what really sucks? being stuck in class till 7pm and not getting home till 8pm...

strongly considering leaving early today.

 

[big ander]

I have three hours of class after this countdown ends >:|

 

[Cindres]

TWO, MINUTES, TO MIIIIDNIIIIIGHT.

 

[Ifrit]

Sid, PSB: Another reader question: If a user gets Portal 2 for the PS3, can two people play that copy at the same time? One on the PS3 and one on the PC?

Joshua, Valve: Well, of course you can play two-player splitscreen on one PS3. But otherwise, it works the way Steam play does now — you can only be logged into one device at a time.[/spoiler]

But what if you sign on another account on the PS3?

Have that been explained or am I missing something?

EDIT: 1 minute

 

[snack]

Prepare yourselves!

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I have three hours of class after this countdown ends >:|

[Ninja Kn1ght]

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.

GLaDOS@Home lol

 

[Sn4ke_911]

 

[ColonialRaptor]

OMFG NOOOOOOOO

 

[The Omega Man]

[Zeliard]

Haha RPS just posted a story on the final few minutes of the countdown:

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/

And GAF seems to be getting hit hard.

 

[Netrunner2k2]

What in the world is this!? GLADoS@ Home!?

 

[LethaL ImpuLse]

Shit, it needs computing power

 

[OmegaDragon]

Oh shit, we have to buy the potato pack to let it launch early!

 

[An-Det]

And a new projected launch counter set for 93-ish hours. Well done.

 

[The Librarian]

So looks like you PC gamers need to play some mini games enough so that it unlocks early. Good luck!

 

[Lostconfused]

GET DEM TATERS PEOPLE.

 

[Tesseract]

genius.

 

[hamchan]

Er, doesn't this kinda remind everyone of the BF3 Facebook trailer thing? LOL

 

[LProtag]

This makes sense.

 

[Lanbeast]

Give us more money for the lulz!

 

[snack]

We got played?!

 

[Tanolen]

I hate everything

 

[Sn4ke_911]

 

[Feep]

Valve, you fucking TEASES.

Anyway, off to play Super Meat Boy.

Edit: This is absolutely INSANE marketing for these indie games. Did they win a fucking lottery or what?
