Upto 10 potoatoes now. Getting the 3 on cogs was hard work!

The 1st of the 3 new levels was mad, i had to watch the video use an A4 page with 16 5*5 squares mapping the order before i could do it. You need to triple gold it to unlock the next one, same again and then their is a final one. The last 2 are much easier, easiest to just work them outyour self and learn the pattern as they have very strick time limits and you will never do it following a video. Spent hours on Cogs. the 2 each on SMB and Toki Tori were much quicker (i used guides). Also quickly picked up 1 each in 123Kickit, AAA and Amnesia.

1/3 of the way through. Have not played any of ther other games this is a challenge.

I did the BestLaidPlans 1 very slowly with lots of pausing/unpausing.

Portal i didn't even try and just used the jist of it from the video annotations. Annoyingly i got about 530 moves so i'm on gold/gold/silver... Whatever you do, don't try and do it along side the video with it in a window. My eyes still feel a little strained and i did that 12 hours ago.

Not doing too badly at 9 potatoes considering i only have Amnesia, Cogs, AAAAA Reckless, Defence Grid, Audiosurf and Killing Floor.

Apparently this is an extremely blurry Borealis.

Evilsod · 14 Apr 2011 at 20:59

Thing is though, wasn't the Borealis supposed to be an Aperture Science vessel? So its not entirely unlikely that Valve would put it in Portal 2 to tease people.

Would be nice to hear of episode 3 though

Dave**** · 14 Apr 2011 at 22:53

Oh Valve, how thee tease us.

I really hope Portal 2 is out tomorrow, I am not doing anything so it would fill the gap nicely, but then I prob wouldn't go out all weekend if it did, but I guess that isn't such a bad thing as it will save me some coin

I have no idea why, but joining this group gets you another potato.

(Edit: It's listed on the ARG wiki now)

Ahh, makes sense now that I know what Nelipot means.

Dave**** · 15 Apr 2011 at 00:47

Some one posted a comment on that Group page:

Nelipot literally means one who walks without shoes. Didn't Chell not have shoes in Portal 1? Also googling NLPT gets me this:
Neuro-Linguistic Psychotherapy is a systemic imaginative method of psychotherapy with an integrative-cognitive approach.

The principal idea of Neuro-Linguistic Psychotherapy (NLPt) is the goal-orientated work with a person paying particular regard to his/her representation systems, metaphors and relation matrices

The plot thickens.

The admin has Portal 2 screenshots.

:eek:

Interesting... countdown ends at 5pm tomorrow.

Course it could just be the next phase of the ARG thing and not Portals release.

Edit: 18 potatoes, grabbed another from Defense Grid, apparently i'm Ensign Rebecca Carter

Only 1 i haven't got is Amnesia.

Substance · 15 Apr 2011 at 01:23

I'm on 23 now, really want to get 2 full rows before this is over but it is damn hard

You checked that? I've got 17/18 from the games i own (Amnesia, Reckless, Cogs, Defence, KF, Audiosurf). Not too hard to figure out which ones you're missing and there must be some easy ones.

Substance · 15 Apr 2011 at 01:34

Looks like 35 potatoes is the max, anyone who has 35 at the moment now has a golden potato next to their name

Evilsod · 15 Apr 2011 at 01:38

Hang on, i swear i checked a moment ago and they had 35, then when i looked again they've all got 36 :confused:
