Potatoes! Potatoes! POTATOES!
Valve's latest marketing strategy. It's another sale, but a) Everything's in one bundle, b) The games are like, good and c) There's some really freaky shit going on. If you start finding potatoes in your games, let these guys know.

Oh god, I would buy the shit out of this if I had the money.
|
Wo Amnesia looks fucking awesome!
|
God damn it, I just pre-ordered the new Mortal Kombat, I can't afford that now!
|
I'll give someone some Team Fortress items for this. I have most of the Japan weapons (no Kunai) and The Special Delivery set, among other things.
Seriously. |
I would get it, but I already own half the games*. And I'm not going to gift them all away, I'm not a fucking charity.
Sorry Mac, you're on your own this time. Unless you can find a way to wire me money of a comparable value. *Well, of the five I like the look of, I own two. |
It's possible I can wire the money myself, actually. When's this sale last to?
|
They've kept it secret (uncertainty is more motivating than pressure - evolutionary thing), but it seems that prizes are given out April 5th, so that's my best bet.

I have the Potato Hat but why is it called [Classified]?
|
...because it's a classified potato hat?

I knew this would get confusing. So basically people are finding symbols of the games in the sale in each other. As well as more potatoes. Example: On the back of a character's jacket in Killing Floor, there is a symbol that resembles the The Ball logo. On the walls of the catacombs in The Ball, there's a symbol that resembles the logo of Defense Grid. You get the idea. If you want to try yourself, the easiest thing you can do is play the Super Meat Boy track "The Battle of Lil' Slugger" in Audiosurf. A giant potato will be present, with glyphs across the skin. Things continue to happen. |

She's hacking Steam accounts, replacing ARG solvers and infiltrating the Steamcast! In the Steamcast (unnofficial Steam podcast) white noise is inserted at various intervals. In wave form, they look like this. http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2011/...om-Glados1.jpg Now this is getting really confusing. |
