More importantly, there are clues for the Potato ARG in it!
Edit: And shit, that video has scenes that were shown in pictures from the ARG last year. Valve plans in advance, mang. Feeling generous? Karf is a respectable human being. http://i.imgur.com/MTVw5.png Thank you, Mr. Pelican.

Yeah, Valve's up to their old tricks again, regarding hiding secret things in plain view. Check out the static in the frames between 0:37-38. Not a big math buff, but i do recognize the symbol "Alpha." as well as a man praying or begging, looks like something out of a 1950's PSA. Also alot of numbers that don't make sense. Blue Crew.....I got nothing flashy set up. |

The numbers were decoded shortly after the video's release.
"Here's Da Beens, Dougtato:You found many.Find the rest.MiKaXsUs FTW" "Also... superdinoman's mom" These were found to be people with both Youtube accounts and Facepunch accounts who were posting in their ARG thread. Shit's going down. Feeling generous? Karf is a respectable human being. http://i.imgur.com/MTVw5.png Thank you, Mr. Pelican. |

I'm still pondering the  problem.
That dotted line square + alpha X 16 "..." x 13 Again, not a math buff,but what if that the square represents a vacancy(Maybe something to come in the future?), and the "..." is the answer to the problem above it. Goddamn it, valve. Blue Crew.....I got nothing flashy set up. |

You might be on to something at0m.
If 13 is the representation of the games pack, then what if the value in the dotted-line square is two, since it is the second portal game? The value of alpha is one(Thanks wikipedia) So that would make problem 1 equal 32. 32 x 13=416. Okay, I think i got it. Something is going to happen on April 16th, which is 11 days from now. Well, that was fun. Blue Crew.....I got nothing flashy set up.

This is better than the L4D comic. Which was pretty damn good.

I guess I'll need to make sure it gets preloaded on both of my PCs, because I don't know which one I'm going to be closest to when release occurs.

Also apparently something Portal related got added to all the Potato Sack games, level in Bit Trip Beat, map in Killing Floor, etc and is apparently hinting to a Portal 2 early release if a certain quota is met.
