portal 2

portal 2 The diligent Potato Sack players did their job, unlocking Portal 2 a bit early. The Steam version is unlockable right now. This hours-early release is the culmination of an insane ARG that’s been leading players around since April 1. And maybe it didn’t unlock the game days early, like we thought it would, but it has delivered one sleepless, stolen night of Portal 2 that is at least more convenient than one enabled by a midnight retail launch.

Oh, and one more little bonus: those who found every secret “potato” hidden within the Potato Sack games reportedly got a “Golden Potato” award — and the complete Valve game collection. Including Portal 2.and physics-based puzzles using the same portal gun. Forum user aznguyen316 has already installed it on his 2011 15″ MacBook Pro with AMD 6750 and found that it runs very well on maxed out settings. This YouTube video shows the first 10 minutes of the game running on his MacBook Pro.
The first step towards this event happened on April Fool’s Day (or “Potato Fool’s Day”), when a “Potato Sack” bundle of discounted indie games hit Steam. Over the course of the next week, secret messages began appearing in those games. Puzzle pieces were sent to websites (like ours!), which, when put together, revealed a picture of a bathysphere and a coded message suggesting thirteen “tests” would follow.
