Well I checked out Audiosurf, the game appears to be moving much faster than usual. Unless its just me.

 

[PaulLFC]

And some of them say "Happy #Potatofoolsday" in the update details.

Could it possibly be something to do with the Indie Potato Pack? I remember that being in the list of Steam Christmas sale items along with the other indie packs, but I don't think it was actually released?

Seems like all games updating are part of the "Potato pack" that never came to be.
Add that to ""PotatoFoolsDay", maybe the potato pack is finally happening?

Edit: I see I'm late on this observation.

 

[Songbird]

Going to load up Killing Floor and see what's changed. Large file size for a potato mutator though.

I think the joke IS actually getting people to think the pack is happening.

Wow pretty good guess! Wondering if we get a pack today :O.

 

[poppabk]

add
COGS
Nation Red
to the list.
But they appear to be real updates of some sort - can't play at the moment to check.

 

[Songbird]

Nothing at all seems to have changed in Killing Floor, not even a new potato mutator.

Disappointing, at least the map fixes are nice.
Ed: Potatoes! Spend 'em while you got 'em.

 

[Vastag]

BIT.TRIP.BEAT also has flying potatoes on the background

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Well, Valve has posted weekend sales on Friday in the past when they weren't as consistent with their sales.

It's a bit odd though that we haven't had a midweek sale (and possibly weekend sale), perhaps they're preparing for a big sale? Doubt it though.

Maybe a sale around portal 2's release? You know, for the potential newcomers who buy the ps3 version?

Probably grasphing at straws though

[theinfinityissue]

wow anybody know what the Amnesia update was yet?

 

[Nabs]

Hey Salsa, have you tried the Ogmo levels yet?

Shit, I really though Super Meat World was an April Fools joke, but you can pick the levels/chapters with your mouse. Very nice surprise.

 

[Sinatar]

 

[Flunkie]

Hahaha! ^

 

[Ickman3400]

I think I noticed some potatos on the ground at the main menu but I can't believe that took 337mb to make.

 

[AcridMeat]

As a potato sympathetic, this is the greatest day.

Apparently some sort of hidden area has been added, possibly in the machine room.

Haha, that Toki Tori splash screen is great.

If you click it, you get this:

I'm now an admin if anyone else wants an invite.

You can invite me, so I can properly refuse the request.

 

[Salsa]

Im loving them. Although after hours of Meat Boy is hard to get used to control Ogmo again. Now i want a new Jumper really.

Huh, if it's in the machine room then that's a huge incentive for me to continue playing Amnesia. I stopped right before that section.

 

[n8]

AaaAAAa has a changed logo and floating potatoes in the sky.

 

[Stop It]

Holy crap! What is going on with all the indie title updates?

April Fool's only weirder?

After all, these downloads actually have done something? Knowing Valve, these indie devs etc and the way they work, they have probably put something fun in these April Fools day downloads.

Well, I own most of the games with these updates, so I'm going to see if anything can be found.

Anyone remember if the Fallout 3 DLC has gone on sale before and if so for how much(and how frequently)? I was planning on waiting until the GOTY edition of New Vegas but Gamestop has the PC version which I think can be activated on Steam on sale for $20. Thanks.

Since being available on Steam, the Fallout 3 DLC has gone on sale exactly once. At the tune of 25% off when each DLC was $7.5. It has gone on sale twice on the Games For Windows marketplace twice at 400 points, which is roughly $5.

For two years I've been waiting to get all the Fallout 3 DLC on a sale and it hasn't happened yet. After Fallout 3 was released and more and more games started releasing DLC, and later "Complete," "GOTY," "Ultimate" editions I've made the decision to not buy games until the compilations are out.

More info on the Amnesia update is here: http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-7148-page-3.html

Looks like quite a bit has been messed with.

 

[Snuggles]

Maybe it's already been mentioned, but Medal of Honor is $7.50 on D2D. I'm tempted to buy it since it should be 'worth it' for just playing the campaign, but I'm not sure...


I was just playing Amnesia last night, I'll have to boot it up again to see what I can find.

 

[Stop It]

you kid

It would have helped if I had read the rest of the page, yes.

Anyway, I wanted to see what was updated in Amnesia, but then realised that I had stopped playing because the game terrified me

Bah, US only, and the UK edition is £35.

i bought Medal of Honor off Steam about a month ago for $29 and felt it was well worth that.

i really enjoyed the single player, although it was short.

multiplayer is pretty fun, too.


and aren't you supposed to get an invite to the Battlefield 3 beta when you buy MOH? that'd be worth the $7.50 alone right there, imo.

 

[erpg]

Oh God, Toki Tori's potato joke...or some reason I find a potato with eyes and wings bouncing to be absolutely frightening.

 

[dream]

Games with fake update:
Super Meat Boy
The Wonderful End of the World
AaAaAA!!!
Rush
Toki Tori
Killing Floor
Audio Surf
Bit.Trip Beat
The Ball
Defense Grid!?

What are these fake updates?

Did I just get a couple hundred megs pushed to me as a joke?

I'm honestly not a huge fan of this shit either. We've got bandwidth caps up here in Canada, and 6 of my games just updated with worthless content.

But I guess that's the joke, right?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I was gonna get MoH but I ended up with ME for 15 with the promo code.

 

[Drkirby]

The biggest problem is just how big these patches are. 600MB for a Model of a Potato in the ball?

 

[dream]

Yeah, seriously. Who the fuck signed off on this?

Watch them push gigs of patches tomorrow to remove all the potatoes.

 

[Drkirby]

I don't mind, but can see how some could. Would of been much better if these things were put in months ago and they just push the April Fools flag.

What did Audiosurf even add?

 

[erpg]

Nah, it'd just be better if they straight up didn't do it so I don't end up wasting bandwidth while I'm in my living room studying for finals.

 

[Ickman3400]

Yeah I'm also not a huge fan of it. I don't have a bandwith cap and I have like 450gb left on my 1TB drive but I'm not a fan of useless shit clogging it. I wouldn't mind the ha-ha's if it was like 10mb instead of 300mb each.

Nice catch. Just grabbed it myself. Been meaning to get it for a while and you can't beat that price.

No it's not. Campaign is a 4 hour crash course of everything derivative of COD.
