According to this Firefox/Chrome extension, there are 32 hours remaining.

I'd rather go on believing this.

This is a bizarre way to release a game, but it sure is working for Valve!

hey if vale want to give me free stuff in games I've owned for years to help promote a new unrelated game I'm not gonna complain

I do not quite get what is happening here, what is this potato thing? how is it achieved? I have audiosurf seen this mentioned a few times.

 

[Vtec9k]

9 potatoes so far. Is there any way to see which ones I've got becuase I think i should have 10...

 

[Antar Bolaeisk]

There's a script here which gives a percentage on the completion bar and highlights the current game in focus.

You can read up on the whole story HERE, but the short version is that Valve are doing their usual thing and having fun with their customers.

[edit]Ohh, which ones you've got so far... right, no idea then, sorry.[/edit]

 

[Evilsod]

The only way to know which ones you've got is to check everytime you should've got a potato.

I'm upto 27. If all goes well that should be Amnesia = 1, Bit, Trip, Beat = 3, Rush = 2, The Ball = 2, plus the free potato at 35 = 36.

 

[Antar Bolaeisk]

The free potato is for joining the Nelipot group. You get a gold one when you have all 36.

The free potato is when you get 35. You then have 36 and a golden potato beside your name.

Have to finish for today, I just hit 30 potatos. Most of them can be cheesed, i.e. edit game files follow youtube vids etc. There are a couple though that took serious work. One of the maps on cogs was my worst because you just can't keep up with the you tube guide. i had to watch it pausing it making little maps on paper. only then i could do it.

I have 2 left to get on the ball, 2 for weotw to get and one left in 123 Kickit where i need a non razer mouse (the no_detect.dll doesnt seem to work). that will give me 35 unlocking the 36th golden.

Should be able to do that tomorrow after i have watched f1.

Maybe i should buy portal2 , i am thinking of having a break i have been working on these potatos since monday and i am knackered!

 

[Evilsod]

Yeah the WCC puzzle is an absolute nightmare. Took me a while to get that right because i kept messing up.

I don't have the POrTAl TwO thing on my profile

Thats enough for me tonight... the 4th Rush 'Actual Challenge' level was a real pain to follow. Made my eyes hurt just trying to look at it never mind finish it.

 

[Aedus]

Last 1 I have to get is in Amnesia I think, doing 1 of the "DLC things", no idea what to do but i'm sure there's a walk through on youtube
