Are these CD key sites reliable if you're in the US? Like will my key get disabled for wrong region? Have an order with Amazon for $34, but wouldn't mind paying less and not having to wait until tomorrow night to play

Something is happening, Potato number is dropping very fast



10:50 - Engaging starch-based power cells

Potatoes are going down, going to take about 10 hours for them to go to 0.

Ooh, potatoes doing something!

11:00 - Reboot safety test protocol initiated...
11:00 - Relaxation chamber locks released...
11:00 - Involuntary hazard mitigation associates have assumed testing positions...
11:00 - Pre-release lethality assessment initiated...

Edit: cross posted. Why does the forum clock appear to be 10 mins fast?

This will help: http://www.miniscience.com/projects/PotatoElectricity/

GLaDOS being the crazy AI she is, uses us as test subjects to gather potatoes for her to produce electricity! Razz

It's going down with just over 30 potatoes/second (33ms per potato; 1000/33 = 30,3030303030303....), so at this rate it'll be done in 446000/30/3600=4,13 hours (4 hours and 8 minutes give or take). Assuming it'll keep going down at this constant rate and yes this is a crude approximation Wink

Yeah but I don't think we have to wait for the potatoes to reach 0. I think we should play the potato games while we still have potatoes because they act as some sort of booster for the next few hours.

Also I wonder if 9 people are already playing..

I've calculated roughly about 1000 Potatoes per 1m30sek, that would make about 10,9 hours, considerung the drop rate is constant. That doesnt seem to change alot.


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

GLaDOS is erasing PC release files from steam servers. Console is soon only option.

The 9 guys that got "infected" during the ARG (likely approached by Valve to help with the ARG) are already playing the game.

For the rest of us, the potatoes act as a multiplier to fill the bars faster.

It means:

1: it is consuming the potato's
2. rebooting safety test protocol
3. the chamber unlocked, releasing the 9 people who were...lost here
4. the 9 people are in position
5. the 9 people begin playing the game

The most logical question that can be asked in this thread.

Some bullshit potatoes, infected players, cryptic messages ... Motherfucking bollocks all this is. The poor man only wants his release. Sad
