Distributed computing to bump up the release date!

You need to go play the participating indie games I think.

09:00 – Hello again.
09:00 – I’ve been waiting a long time for this.
09:00 – I know it’s arriving later than expected.
09:00 – But I have a message for you:
09:00 – April Fools.
09:01 – I’m joking.
09:01 – Seriously, though:
09:01 – You’ve been surprisingly competent at

09:01 – But now we need raw computational power

Wow, that's fucking clever. You have to play the Potato Sack games to unlock Portal 2 early. Amazing marketing move by Valve.

Everyone should get the sack too! If nothing else Amnesia and Super Meat Boy are amazing games.

You don't have to own the potato sack to unlock it faster, just any of the games within said sack.
