Help Unlock Portal 2 Early


With the official release date for Portal 2 fast approaching, Valve have launched a GLADoS@home page on the Aperture Science website, demanding your CPU cycles!



In a clever move to promote Portal 2 and helping out the indie developers, the more people that play games featured in The Potato Sack, the sooner Portal 2 will be released. The website shows a 'computations completed for launch' aswell as a projected launch timer so you can keep an eye on when it's going to release.

If you own any of the following games, get playing!
  • 1... 2... 3... KICK IT! (Drop That Beat Like an Ugly Baby)
  • AaAaAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity
  • Amnesia: The Dark Descent
  • AudioSurf
  • BIT.TRIP BEAT
  • Cogs
  • Defense Grid: The Awakening
  • Killing Floor
  • RUSH
  • Super Meat Boy
  • The Ball
  • The Wonderful End of the World
  • Toki Tori

There are some coordinated efforts going on at the official Steam forums to help get the games released as soon as possible. The progress bar is creeping up slowly, but they need your help!

It would be interesting to know with all the sales of those games to-date, whether it's theoretically possible to achieve an early launch, or whether it requires more purchases of The Potato Sack.
