Any tips for C.H.A.S? It's been a while since I've played DG and even then I did not get super far so I am unfamiliar with some of the towers/enemies.

I found this video helpful.

Basically:
- 4 guns in the corners of the square in the top left
- between them put the slowing tower and a laser (leave a path through the middle)
- after a few turns put a row of guns next to the bridge
- a slowing tower in the middle of that open area
- a couple of the exploding area of effect towers in that same area
- more guns
- obviously upgrade the towers to their third rank as you are able to

Oh well, I guess I was beaten to it

Karniel is starting to sound like a Lost character. I still think the chats are suspect as hell, but if it means HL3 news . . .

Basic Gold configuration for Campaign - not giving away my best configs for nowt

Thank you very much!
edit: Worked quite well, had to build a few extra towers, but I beat it none the less.

Boom.

Those are E's. They've zoomed in and made text only versions already. You have no idea how insufferable the main irc channel is atm with people posting HL3 theories while people are trying to solve the current puzzles.

For those who are still trying for the Defense Grid levels, you can rewind waves using backspace. It's great for fixing any mistakes or making any alterations.

Valve is making a game based on Lost.

Calling it.

Changing of steamapp_id codes most likely. Makes steam think they're playing portal 2 but they're playing l4d2 or something.

I'll stop at 28. I've done my share for the community. All will be well.

I hadn't played Amnesia before, I've tried it for 5 minutes and there's no fucking way in hell I play this now. I finally get what the fuss was all about.

On my front page it says one of my friends is playing Portal 2 as well. It has to be a bug or somethin.

Steam game ID editing to troll people.
At least I hope so.

Anyway, seems like the 'bot' wants us to get back to work, and we should ignore him. Work is probably gathering potatoes from the potato sack games. There seems to be a deadline of the 15th, tomorrow, or at least that's what people think. People with the sack games get to work on getting them spuds.

I imagine this has been brought up in IRC, but is there any definitive reason to believe the IRC/chat "bot" is actually Valve-controlled and not just some random ARG person making stuff up?

Heh.. I didn't think it'd really work! I did enjoy playing 1... 2... 3... Kick It, though.

Forkball · Apr 14, 2011

Tricking your friends into thinking your playing Portal 2 is a great way to never get anyone to play co-op with you.

I think there is proof but I can't remember what it is.

PatzCU · Apr 14, 2011

I got the easy Amnesia potato and will probably get the very easy 2 Killing Floor potatoes, but that's all I have to offer the Great Spud Collect-athon. Crossing my fingers for Portal 2 early release tomorrow!

I've only got 3, will look into getting more tomorrow, gotta go sleep.

Really hoping I can play Portal 2 tomorrow.

Good luck to all the Potato Hunters!

Salsa · Apr 14, 2011

Alright i just saw the

potato shaped

(not really a spoiler) achievement in the Portal 2 steam page by mistake, and im starting to lean torwards the whole theory that this ARG conists uf us using potatoes for energy to bring GLaDOS back into function. The whole "GET POTATOES!" thing in the ARG would also fit since GLaDOS is supposedly taking over the wiki.

EatChildren · Apr 15, 2011

I can only get one more potato, the Amnesia one, but I cant do it until I get back from work.

God speed, taterlings.

Datwheezy · Apr 15, 2011

I'll try and get The Wonderful End of the World taters in a little bit, but after A+ the first few levels, I cant muster anything higher than a B+ on the two potato levels.

Hey guys, you know what would be funny? If all Source Engine games would have glitches or artifacts. I mean, so close before Portal 2 comes out? Yeah, that would be funny ...

Well, Steam went down when somebody crashed 'the bot'. That's not a bad power, though it could be coincidence.

Though the wiki seems to be saying this mass infectation/console thingy might be cover for trolls. Who knows?

Either way, more potato get!

That huge thread about multiple sources confirming that Nintendo has a "better then PS3 console" in the pipeline.
