Apparently if we play games from the potato sack enough, they will release Portal 2 early, so come on everyone, just launch those games and keep them on or something!

That's gonna fail, who's going to buy a game to play a game early? Capitalism nowadays -.-

Edit: I am looking forward to Portal 2 btw.

You don't need to buy them, you just need to play them. Of course technically that means you have to buy it if you don't already have it, but if you do, launch it and leave it open

I can't wait for Portal 2

I don't get this, are they doing this to sell more games lol?

Eh, ill launch AudioSurf anyway.

There's some confusion about how it works still though. It might just be x amount of people have to play the game, not at the same time, they just have to play it, not sure though. We would have more of a chance if you just had to play it I think, rather than consectutive players.

This weekend is the last chance to pre-purchase Portal 2. Get your copy now, save 10% and be ready to play the moment it is released. Help release Portal 2 early: From now until release, play any or all of games in The Potato Sack to expedite the launch of Portal 2. Your efforts will be tracked on the official GLaDOS@home page. Each game in The Potato Sack has received a massive Portal-themed update, making a collection of 13 hit indie games even better. So why not get a taste of Portal 2 now while you help launch it?

Yeah but, I would have thought our CPU contributed to Compiling but that would be insane as there is over 5000 CPU's already and it's only the source engine that one PC could compile in like 3 mins.

Is this just a way of getting more people exited or something?

It is just a marketing thing, but still, Portal 2 early!

Store says 3 days and 22 hours, if we get more people playing that will go down right ?

It might not, I think the best timer to keep an eye on is the one on that website. People are also thinking that the number required for each game is based on how many people own it. I think that finishing one of them will decrease the time that the game will take to release, so I think it makes more sense to make co-orderinated efforts at playing the smaller games first.
