9 PEOPLE ALREADY HAVE ACCESS TO PORTAL 2?

I'm sure theres tons that have the PS3 version already...

 

[Htown]

THE POTATOES ARE IN PLAY, I REPEAT, THE POTATOES ARE IN PLAY

 

[Borgnine]

SOUR CREAM ALL OVER MY FACE

 

[KScorp]

11:00 - Pre-release lethality assessment initiated...

I wonder how many heart attacks this thing will predict.

 

[Lasthope106]

Gabe is fat

LOL

Buh Bye

 

[Sai-kun]

Active Test Subjects:

NINE

 

[Oreoleo]

Oh my god this is so amazing. Everyone's just watching the countdown!

Isn't that what we've been doing all weekend...? We're just on the 3rd countdown now.

 

[Raxus]

This seems oddly appropriate

 

[Tacitus_]

It's happening, IT'S HAPPENING!

Somebody hold me.

 

[dave is ok]

So can nine people play Portal 2 now?

Good for them

 

[darkpaladinmfc]

I BETTER BE PLAYING THIS SHIT SOON

 

[The Technomancer]

Its accceeeeeeelerating!

 

[JaseC]

they treat me so bad, but it feels so good!

Sounds like science prison.

 

[rasberryjam]

What's happening?! So many potatoes!

Do we have to kill 9 people? ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN!

 

[Baha]

It's taking roughly 2 minutes to deplete 1k potatoes. Somebody do the math now.

 

[throwawayname]

Armageddon when the counter hits 0 *runs*

 

[kamspy]

Does this mean my profile taters will be gone? :O

 

[CF_Fighter]

So when the potatoes hit zero GLaDOS will power up?

 

[enzo_gt]

WAIT SO 9 PEOPLE HAVE IT ALREADY?!

POTATOES = # OF UNLOCKS?!

 

[Lasthope106]

 

[heyf00L]

The source has this:

g_currentPotatoConsumptionRate = 11.6771584699;

I don't see any way for that number to change, tho.

 

[Epix]

OMG 12 hrs of Potato countdown watching imminent!!!

 

[The Technomancer]

I love all the Willy Wonka comparisons. Truly, Valve run the chocolate factory of the mind.

 

[drhankmccoyphd]

Why is everyone assuming the potato number has to go to 0? Aren't we looking at the progress bar? It's possible we could get to 100% and still have spuds to spare.

 

[Treefingers]

Buh Bye

I'm kidding, jesus.

So can someone confirm if it's accelerating? Doesn't look like it to me.

 

[XeroSauce]

Not a spoiler. <- My friend is playing Portal right now. He won't respond. D:

 

[fallengorn]

So can nine people play Portal 2 now?

Good for them

Of the Golden Potato people, 9 will randomly be selected to play Portal 2 at midnight.

 

[Trickster]

Since people are saying that the meters are filling a lot faster now. Maybe that means that the multiplier thing people were talking about is in effect for the duration of the potato countdown?

 

[Mr. Spinnington]

and the timer remains the same


until it 'recalculates' again or whatever

 

[KScorp]

Where are you guys getting this 9 people already have portal thing.

 

[darkpaladinmfc]

Not a spoiler. <- My friend is playing Portal right now. He won't respond. D:

He's probably tricking you.

 

[MNC]

Don't say that, that's wrong and you'll get banned!

He is looking much better in recent interviews, I must say.

Also, 12 hours for it to drop to 0. 14 hours for release date. What could this be?

 

[Spookie]

Oh shit.

 

[Forkball]

IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN

 

[deleted]

Finally something happens. But the red-bars are still standing still, right?

 

[Oreoleo]

Not a spoiler. <- My friend is playing Portal right now. He won't respond. D:

That's old news. You can fake it by editing the steamid of an executable or something.

Where are you guys getting this 9 people already have portal thing.

Where it says "Active Test Subjects: NINE" in big fucking letters.

 

[XeroSauce]

He's probably tricking you.

I hope he's not one of the nine.

 

[The Omega Man]

Gold potato owners will unlock first!!!

Spoiler

I wish, plus I am at work anyway... :/

 

[Baha]

Not a spoiler. <- My friend is playing Portal right now. He won't respond. D:

They can fake app ids so there's a very good chance he's trolling you.

 

[clip]

Watching this from work is torture, omg omg omg

 

[enzo_gt]

IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN

[CarbonatedFalcon]

And thus all was forgiven...as we sacrificed the fruits of the earth to our mighty Valve overlords.

Amen.




(LOL)

 

[TheBez]

Maybe i'm just being a fanboy, but after the l4d2 debacle I can't imagine Valve would let the community get this pissed about something unless they were about to drop something so amazing that all would be forgiven.

What was the L4D2 fiasco?

 

[kamspy]

Not a spoiler. <- My friend is playing Portal right now. He won't respond. D:

KILL HIM

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

POTATOES ARE REDUCING OMG!!!

 

[KScorp]

Where it says "Active Test Subjects: NINE" in big fucking letters.

Ah. Wasn't paying much attention to the background. :/

 

[CriginsMcJuggs]

I wouldnt be surprised if it was the same amount of time as the others. Audiosurf has sold alot more copies life time than most of the others, So there are more people to contribute to playing it, hences the extra time.

^^Well isn't this awkward.

 

[Ryn]

WHERE ARE ALL THE POTATOES GOING AAHHHHH!

 

[Treefingers]

Oh wow I just noticed the enormous "NINE"

 

[Sn4ke_911]

MARRY ME GLaDOS
