Which one of Mars' moons is potato shaped, Deimos or Phobos?

They're both prety irregularly shaped but I'd say with the dimensions of 15 × 12.2 × 10.4 km Deimos is probably more potato-like.

If it's Episode 3, I'll get swept up in the hype and buy Portal 2. If not, I won't. Your move, Valve.

If you don't support Valve's other, yet related to HL2, IP's, then Episode 3 may never come out!

You don't want that do you?

There's going to be an awful lot of disappointed people when this turns out to just be some Portal 2 thing.

Episode 3 doesn't exist, let's face it. It's time to let go, guys.

Morons disappointed that Valve didn't tease a Half-Life game less than two weeks before the launch of their next major game deserve to be disappointed.

So, is potato going to be the new cake?

Don't know if it's been mentioned or if it matters but the achievement list for Portal 2 references a potato.

I started following it on Facepunch right away but now it seems like its dragging on a bit. I have the feeling its just for the comic too :( And why the hell did they have to pick Geoff Keighley? Fucking hate that guy...

I'm not following this stuff too closely, but it's sad how everytime there's some kind of Valve news or whatever, I go straight to "HL2E3? HL3?"

It's all I want Valve. =(

People are finding images of Combine Advisors. I think.. maybe something is starting to happen here. I checked back in with the IRC when my Amnesia updated, and it looks like some shit is going down over there. Good time to check in with them if you wanna see the latest.

I really hope this doesn't make me get excited for Episode Three and then dissapoint me when it's nothing to do with it. Anyway I've been following this ARG all week and it's just got exciting!

AaAaAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity Update Released

Fixed potato bugs, and am now beset by spindly, hairy things that shift and turn and crawl through the night. I know that speed is of the essence here, but I sometimes can't suss out what's hidden in plain view. What's going wrong? Why is the system degrading? Because it is. This is an incredibly brief account of what has been happening, and there are all sorts of intricacies that I've missed out.

Wonderful End of the World Update Released

*I* removed all the color. *I* removed all the crates. *I* removed the muscles in my legs, as there was too much spring in my step. There are no castles to tame, and I have sliced the beast in twain to make a grand number, which was my goal all along!

Hey, there were 105 and 167 admiring pairs of smiling eyes, last I checked. Probably a few more now. But that's not enough weight. It takes at least a ton or two to break that.

I figured it out! it's like Valve isn't making HL3 or Episode 3 because they've moved on to a higher art form--making video games out of life!

People have been making the comparison between Advisors and potatoes since the very beginning of this ARG. If Advisors play a central role in ep 3 and this is an announcement, maybe Valve had their cards on the table the entire time and no one realized it.

If so, that'd be fucking smooth.

Okay, deep breaths....where did that image come from?

Apparently it's randomly popping up in various Potato Sack games, as they all updated only a few minutes ago.

Could be bullshit though, like the glyphs in TF2.
