At the end of Portal 1 it now plays what sounds like a super slowed down audio clip. (during the little scene with the cake and during Still Alive).

Is this something unrelated? Thought I'd ask since I don't see it on http://valvearg.com/wiki/Audio

 

[LProtag]

Curious, where do you see/know that you got a potato? Like, for joining that group, where would that show up?

In your profile with any other potatoes earned. Like so: http://steamcommunity.com/id/BahaFS/

35 down, 1 to go!

There are 36 now? I thought there were 34 (+1 from this group, that didn't actually give me one EDIT: false alarm, I got mine).

What's the 36th?!

 

[Nabs]

showoff *hmph*

 

[Majukun]

the potato is only for players who have at least a game of the potato pack?because i've joined the grioup but no potato on my profile.

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!

Steam went down for some people on my friends list, not me, but I thought the Steam bot seemed relatively legitimate. I was wondering more about the one on the IRC channel.

I don't have the pack but got a potato. I own 3 games in the pack though.

 

[MRORANGE]

only has Defense Grid but got all 5 Potatoes, plus the one from joining the dinousaur group


*waits in corner until it's POTADO TIME!*

 

[LProtag]

Yeah, I don't own any of the games so I didn't get the potato. Since I have a Mac it's not really worth it to grab the pack anyway.

 

[The M.O.B]

3 Potatoes................but I forgot how I got them.

The only one that I did was Super Meat Boy and I tried Audiosurf but failed.

Seems to suggest that there are Potatoes in games other than the 13 Potato Pack ones, though it could also mean stuff like the Dinosaur Community group.

Portal first slice? looks more like screenshots taken from portal 2- this is from the the admin of the NELIPOT group

If you look at the admins screenshots they are all seemingly from the portal 1 demo but when you actually click the thumbnail they are actually from portal 2.

Old? Relevant? edit: beaten :lol

Where in that passage did I ordain you to ONLY collect tuberous trophies? I should hope that you have discovered by now that the entertainment package of vegetables is a sort of 'guidebook,' but certainly not the only place to find clews. Obviously in addition to this 'guidebook' you must look elsewhere, as you have done all along.

But as you use the eyes found within the entertainment package of vegetables to look for clews elsewhere, keep in mind that clews are by nature often hard to get, and often difficult to decode. Beware of clews that simply drop into your lap.

Do not neglect the other clews that you have been led to by the light you found within the entertainment package of vegetables. Namely the chart of the major metropolis upon which you have scribbled some semblance of a word. Or perhaps you might discover some clews by closely observing the digital distribution system which SHE has so recently infiltrated. It is possible old entertainment packages may yet have relevance if SHE chooses to 'update' them. I have not enough research to know which is the correct path at this time.

Metropolis = city locations found in each game?
Updates = HL2 Ep1 update and the such?

Sounds a lot like the Episode 1 update.

I already got work off lol.

 

[MasterShotgun]

What. The. Fuck.

Show of hands, who's calling in sick tomorrow?

I'm tempted to miss work. It's only a part-time student job, but those are two hours I could spend playing Portal 2 (provided it releases.)

 

[JaseC]

16 hours? That's 12AM.

Fuck.

 

[Superimposer]

So why is clue spelled wrong? I have a feeling this isn't just about waiting for the countdown

 

[Darkflight]

Show of hands, who's calling in sick tomorrow?

Not for me, UK time, so work ends 30mins after that countdown, home 2hrs later, excited to see if it's what we all hope it is.

 

[Jubbly]

Read the full thing, it says 'clew' is spelt correctly, meaning it's a clue to something else.

 

[brotkasten]

So, this was really just for an early release? No signs of EP3? Fuck. My source games won't work and I have an appointment tomorrow, can't skip this one. Fuck, fuck, fuck.

Jesus christ, I'm breeding aliens in a text game inside a tower defense game, I'm joining steam groups and collecting potatoes, I'm watching countdowns and sitting here in the gathering dark, I can't help but believe this is a preview of the slow slide into dementia i'll be experiencing in my old age.

Okay, so it seems that to get the slowed down audio track I mentioned in Portal at the top of the page you have to play the game from the beginning.

Cause I just did it from quick saves and didn't hear anything. I know I'm not crazy here.

 

[Sai-kun]

Clew is a ball or ball of yarn or something

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Things in the game itself still may relate to HL3/EP3. So it may not be over yet.
