So the Pin was not the end of it? Because I swear to Gabe if it was... I will go to Valve's HQ with a sack of potatoes and personally shove every single one down is throat.


Without butter.

Dude, it's an ARG promoting a commercial product. If you think the ultimate result will be anything beyond "REMEMBER TO BUY PORTAL 2 AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS" you don't have realistic expectations. The fun is in the game, not the result.

Only on Ninja Mono? Did you tried in other modes, like in Mono Pro?

What song is that anyway? When looking for it I only get this:

Couple of friends and I just helped me buy the Potato in Killing Floor, and I'm at the Killing Floor Aperture log-in.

Did we ever figure out the password for this one, or any of them? I kinda need it.

SPUF IRC speculation: The 3 part codes are RGB values(?)

[Dehodson]

So, there could be an aperture login for every potato pack game...

[Mio Akiyama]

So close to getting the Pin all I need now is Kick it, AaAaAAA, Amnesia, Cogs, Defense Grid, Rush, The Ball, and TWEOTW

Here ya go it was brought up, they were like "Okay good idea",a few were like "IM ON IT" and they're continuing on with other things. Last I checked, two people are bitching at each other .

Edited:

and with that, Good night all. I shall return to have my brain confused further tomorrow.

[Bullet100]

apparently are corners of an image.

[ZF911]

To get the pin all you have to do is play these games? Does anyone know how long the pack sale goes on for?

Are there more pictures then those 2?

Changed it to be easier to see the numbers in it.

EDIT:
This version should be even better:

We just need the others now.

These two where sent BY Gabe TO halflife.net and Joystiq, by email.

[Wii60]

Maybe, but it also said new information.

not atm.

EDIT: We're hoping that the GTTV video will contain more cyphers for us.

[Teh_Spork]

I'll laugh my ass off if Geoff just starts saying numbers.

[MegaSchmoo]

Ok stop asking about the pins people, we are trying to solve this arg not collect worthless trinkets.

You play every Potato Sack game, you get a pin and a po ta t o logo. Now shut up so we can focus on the task at hand

Hm, I bet there are but the other recipients wont check their email until tomorrow.

Nice attempt, but I believe that we're going to need the rest of the images (if this theory is true), and put them together.

It seems like they deliberately tried to make it so you couldn't read all of the numbers.

maybe its episode 3?



DOUBLE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SKY!

he sent it to Joystiq too..

Teh_Spork posted:

Nah, you can read almost all of them, they just didn't show up in that enhanced version. Close inspection of the originals revealed a lot more.

Half-Life + Joystick = Half-Life 2 Ep. 3 is a 360 exclusive.


Obviously.

[Butthurter]

clearer version with the contrast-raped numbers visible:



(just turn down contrast to see the numbers in the brighter parts of the image; turn up contrast and brightness for the darker parts)

[Blackwheel]

So hopefully this ARG will end today, and tomorrow morning will be HL3 :buddy:
