THE POTATO SACK HAS SPOKEN!
I hope there is a timer at the end of this, and that it's for an insanely large chunk of time. A timer either to December 21, 2012 or whenever Valve is hoping for the apocalypse, or a timer counting down from near-infinity.
Mind = blown...nCrz said:
Just FYI, but Dota 2 will be launching as a free to play title supported by a cosmetic item store like TF2 is now. Although you can buy early access to the beta for $40 ( and get a bunch of free items with it), I doubt they would give that away in some weird contest.gigastar said:
BTW, Dota 2 is awesome, been playing the beta for months now...
Also, I bought this potato sack last year and I didn't get free portal 2 from it... Where'd you hear that from?
Unsure if trolling or forgetful, because I remember having to stare at a freakin' potato for a substantial part of Portal 2.Andy Chalk said:
Ah, shows how much i know then. The MOBA genre simply holds no appeal for me. Thats really all i can say.lotr rocks 0 said:
And in the original Potato Sack the included games had hidden bonus levels added in, completing those hidden levels earned the player a (virtual) potato. All players that had obtained all the potatos when Portal 2 released got a copy for free.
I don't know for definite because I didn't do it but I thought it was all part of the Portal 2 ARG game, if you bought the bundle and took part and won the game, you unlocked a free Portal 2.lotr rocks 0 said:

Guess Valve aren't happy with my lack of involvement... D:
does anyone else see whats happening here?
ok so they start with half life 2 and then stop after the big reveal
then they appear to stop caring and do other things like portal 2 and left 4 dead
then this potato sack where there are lots of games
they are setting up for half light 3 where portal is in the same universe and they meet and these game will be playable Easter eggs

I vote this is a Valve troll. Make us all think it's leading to something big.... then... nothing.
Came here to say this. They've been teasing it along with the MVM mode for a long time, and with the summer sale coming up in a couple weeks now would be the perfect time to give us Meet the Pyro.roushutsu said:
i'm guessing you didn't play portal 2? before it's release, the potato thing was completely out of context, but after playing portal 2, it makes sense. there was a science fair in the Aperture Science building, with one of the displays being about potato power. You carry GlaDOS, powered by a potato, around on the end of your portal gun for a good portion of the single player campaign.Andy Chalk said:
*gasp* Heathen!Andy Chalk said:
Considering there is absolutely no advertisement around this sack (its not even on the front page of the steam store. Only barely showing in the "new" list), I doubt its anything important. I'm annoyed they couldn't keep it another day though, as I physically don't have the money to buy it right now >.<
More likely that it would have something to do with the Counter Strike:GO release which is on the horizon if there is an ARG involved. Although all these indie games are quite old now, so maybe it's just to give some of these titles a few more sales before they fade from the general memory.
