I dont even know how to run more than one game at a time on steam!

Run the games windowed or just alt-tab out and start another one up.

 

[fallengorn]

Alright, GAF.

Back from work. It's Friday night, I have no date, a two-liter bottle of Shasta and my all-Rush mix tape.

Let's rock.

From the wiki:

Make sure you are occasionally restarting whichever game you are idling in, so Steam can record your hours played and add that total to the progress bar on GLaDOS@home.

How much potatoes do you need to get the potato image on the side of your steam profile, I think that is were I am going to stop. I thought it was 16 but I have 16 now and there is nothing there

 

[darkpaladinmfc]

You need all 36.

Then you WON'T stop, because to get that potato you need all the potatoes.

 

[Liquid Helium]

Ah screw that then, I'm stopping at 16, I'm not buying games I don't want.

Edit: I don't mean the golden potato, I mean the portal 2 logo looking thing

I believe thats for people who own the pack, and launch every single game in one steam session

 

[TheExodu5]

Downloading and getting ready to launch...

What I will face in my dreams tonight...

 

[CrookedRain]

Doesn't have to be in one session. You just have to have run every single game in the pack at least once.

 

[markot]

Hurry up you guys >_<

 

[Stitch]

yay got my fourth potato. and that's enough for me

 

[Igor Antunov]

Ok I've tried Ahhhhhhhhhh! on 3 different machines, one of them had win xp 32bit, the rest windows 7 64 bit.

It crashes on startup every time on every machine. I've had it for months but never played it.

Solution?

Play something else.

Yep, I'm here all week for all your tech support needs.

I couldnt get that one to work either, but this one works:

Yeah, I think placing it in a quote broke it. Maybe code /code would be better.

Someone posted this one earlier

It's missing a semicolon somewhere.

Hmm, how come its like 80 hours without that thingy and 60somthing with it >.>?

 

[Datwheezy]

The one I just posted works in Firefox 4 and Chrome (tested both)

 

[Zombie James]

Monday morning now? It jumped from ~15 hours to ~25? That's a lot of progress made.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

For those too lazy to play and still want to contribute (and own Audiosurf), play a 2 hour podcast and let it run in the background. Win-win situation?

 

[Salsa]

so whats going on with this new killing floor update and achievement ? i just got home

you don't need to play the game, just run it

No clue, dont own it. Everyone right know is boosting the Wonderful End of the World red bar because it is at 80%

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

you don't need to play the game, just run it

Really? I thought you do... where did they debunk this?

 

[Krauser Kat]

eat my potatoes.

 

[SuperAwesome]

Really? I thought you do... where did they debunk this?

steam doesn't record anything past the game being active or not

 

[OmegaDragon]

I wonder what happens when the The Wonderful End of the World bar fills. I probably wont be present when it happens. I did my part, got some potatoes and logged a few hours into the games. The estimates for the release data look good. Time to go to bed

btw, the Aperture Killing Floor map is pretty good, too bad we sucked the last few games (near wipes on the first few waves in bedlam )

 

[epmode]

The one I just posted works in Firefox 4 and Chrome

It certainly does, thank you.

And now that I've seen it:
SIGH, worst countdown ever. It's even more painful for coming on the heels of such a great ARG.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

steam doesn't record anything past the game being active or not

Ahh! So I can run six games at the same time and still be awesomely good?

 

[The M.O.B]

so whats going on with this new killing floor update and achievement ? i just got home

There is a new place in the Apeture map with Glados in it, there is also a door that takes a good 5-10 minutes to unwield, behind it...........is a SURPRISE!

EDIT: or at least that one is new to me :/

 

[Atomski]

So what happens when The Wonderful End of the World bar reaches 100%? will playtime for it no longer count?

Kinda makes me sad other games are so low.. wtf.

[Lostconfused]

This really is an anti climactic conclusion. Might as well be playing progress quest to watch them bars fill up.

Or maybe at 100%, Portal 2 will unlock... ;D

 

[Datwheezy]

If anyone is going to bed and can keep their PC on, idle a game other than Wonderful End of teh World because it will fill up tonight

 

[Jenga]

so what the fuck is going on?

is the counter displaying real progress or not?


why the fuck hasn't this shit blown up yet? people too lazy to leave a program on alt-tab?

 

[Diseased Yak]

They want us to idle a bunch as payback for idling so much in TF2.
