Okay, I have Audiosurf, Super Meat Boy and Toki Tori to give away.

First come, first served. Just be sure to quote this post and mention what game you'd like.

Edit: All 3 are now pending sent.

So is all that is left to do:

- Find method to access Aperture Science's login page on the last two games
- Find the correct password for these games so they update with images
- Find the hidden image within these images to find locations
- Locate the images with a dot on the map and connect the dots

Anything else? Just wanted clarification.

Well I got the 4 potatoes in the games I already had (Super Meat Boy, Bit.Trip.Beat, Audiosurf and Defense Grid). I'm interested seeing what happens when you get 12 but I'm not getting The Potato Sack since I already have half the games and it would just be a waste.

They've broken the final Amnesia rar. It had this weird picture in it (original isn't red, that's used to bring out the hidden picture names) http://oi52.tinypic.com/103whnl.jpg

Obviously, that's not the Amnesia login. It did have something to do with the Rush login, not sure what though. So, that means the Amnesia login is most likely related to the phonograph that was added to the game. Maybe. Possibly. Who knows anymore.

I was beginning to wonder when... no, if they'd make any sort of progress with the game. Amnesia has been a constant roadblock through this ARG.

Got four potatoes so far (Aaaaaa, Audiosurf, SMB and Defense Grid). I must say some of these potatoes are extremely hard to get or a complete time sink. AAaaaa was really hard to get and Cogs is proving to be quite a challenge.

What seems most likely to me is that latest picture is concept art for Frictional Games' next title, which would excite me almost as much as anything related to Ep 3. But then there's that map at the top/bottom of the picture. No one knows what that is yet.

RUSH Login Page has been found! (Legit, this time.)

Go to the level "Key to Success" and places the tiles has described in this image:

This will give you access to the login page.

Oh man this is exciting, we're so close to the end of this part of the ARG.

Also thanks to JaseC I have got my first Potato! Toki Tori is quite fun but really hard.

Is the RUSH one unlocked from the start? I'm gonna try it

You need to unlock the second batch of Hard Levels.

That means you need to at least complete 75% of the easy and medium levels and the first Hard levels.

Ugh. The sad part is I'll still do it. I played through the first three levels of SMB with a keyboard yesterday to get that one

So now we have all the login pages, we just need the password.

I'm kind of disappointed. With all the trouble the Amnesia puzzles gave the ARG detectives, it's that easy to get to the login page? Seriously?

Where's that infamous EP3 art?

As far as I'm aware, there are three pieces of Episode Three concept art.

Certainly true, they're cut from the same cloth, I just thought maybe the EP3 ones had geometry that I remembered as 'citadel-ish' could have been more Aperture-ish when compared to the new piece but that's not really the case.

Got 6 potatoes now (AAAaaaa, Amnesia, Killing Floor, Audiosurf, Toki Tori and The Wonderful End Of The World) None of the other potato games interest me (except SMB but I've already finished it on the 360 and Bit Trip Beat which I have on Wii)

EDIT: So... All the logins and passwords have been found right? Has anything happened? Does someone have all the potatoes?
EDIT again: Ah, nvm, Just noticed theres nothign for 1 2 3 Kick it. Didn't notice it because the field was so small >.<

Looks like 1..2..3...Kick It! is the last game left with an aperture page password to find. I wonder what 13 potatoes will unlock.

I have not used cocaine
I'm up to 8 potatoes but i've never really played COGS so that one will take me a while to get the 100 gears to unlock the level, I suck at Bit.Trip.Beat so that one will take some time, and i suck at Rush so that will take me some time too. If only i didn't suck at these games :(

It kinda looks like the intro to Portal 2 from the videos shown, but instead of sleeping chambers, they're shipping containers.

They've already zeroed in on the Killing Floor glyph and the 4x4 square of d20s in that picture. I'm betting it's a clue to an unsolved puzzle in KF that will lead to the password for Kick It.

Ah so it all makes sense now. Half-Life is really Mark Laidlaw's D&D game with Gabe Newell's PC being Gordon Freeman.

Oh, now I see the 4x4 square of dices.

Killing Floor, 4x4 Square of 1-16 d20Dices.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?

You could always just find a complete game file online and pick 4-19.

Sure, it's cheating, but I lost my save file the last time I reformatted the computer and I would've gotten it legitimately if not for that, so yeah.. I feel like I've got good reason.

Edit: NVM. You found it BY2K.


Just when we think it's winding down, more stuff appears. Valve, you are a bunch of glorious bastards, and I love you for it. Just please make this worth the effort everyone's putting into it.
