    I already owned a lot of the games in the Potato Sack bundle when I purchased it. So, I have some gift licenses to give in the name of early Portal 2 for everyone. If there are people who would play these games to contribute to the cause, I will gladly gift them to my fellow Bomblings. 
    At the time of this post, I have the following games left:

    All gone!


    Thank you for participating! Go run games and get potatoes!

    Wait, are you supposed to just run the games, or are you supposed to do things in the games (like achievements)?

    FWIW, I opened Rush (after the install updated) and in the menu screen there was a giant potato floating around.  I clicked and it said something cryptic which I don't recall, then the potato was gone.  That doesn't mean that I helped, does it?

     Found this!  I'm glad because I hate most of the sack games that I happen to own (from other promos that I fell for).  I'll gladly let them run in the background, though.

    WE DO NOT NEED MORE POTATOES

    GLaDOS@home posted by the_gish @ 12:15PM on April 15, 2011 Well, the end is definitely near. Thanks to the efforts of a dedicated group of ingenious test subjects, we've located enough potatoes to generate the required power to start the GLaDOS reboot process. It's not too late to participate, though. The more CPU power dedicated to the process, the faster it will finish. What does that mean? From now until release, play any or all of the Potato Sack games to expedite the launch of Portal 2. Your efforts will be tracked on the official GLaDOS@home page. The Potato Sack games are all great, and each one has also received a massive Portal-themed update. So why not get a taste of Portal 2 now while you help launch it? There's also still time to collect all 36 potatoes. Anyone accomplishing this feat by the time Portal 2 launches will receive a very special, non-hat-based reward.

    The announcement on the official Portal 2 Steam group.

    Best way to stay organised would be to follow: http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/gqtn1/play_the_games_quickly/?sort=confidence

       


    To keep everyone on the same page.


    NOTE FOR PEOPLE ABOUT TO SLEEP

    TWEotW will likely finish before you awaken the next day. As such, consider putting your cycles into 1_2_3_KICK_IT! if you are leaving a machine running overnight as consensus puts it as the next game to work on.

    I hardly ask for anything, but if you still happen to have Killing Floor on offer to anyone I would love to get a copy.  I already have Audiosurf.

    General Update: The Wonderful End of the World is done on the site.  If you were only playing that game to fill that bar, your job is done and can move on to another game unless you are hooked with the game out of personal interest.

    @Tebbit: Check your Steam Community Profile. It should show up there. Whoops! Thought I was on the last page of the thread. Sorry for the late reply.

    And I'm running Bit.Trip.Beat in the background on my lowly MacBook Pro, even though I have Portal 2 preordered on the 360 through Amazon. Don't ever say I didn't do anything for you people. :)

    Played some Reckless Disregard for Gravity and some Killing Floor and now a little Audiosurf. I can expect that I'll be playing a lot of whatever potato games I own tomorrow.
