>>322151124
Which search bar?
The one for my browser or for the store?
>>
>>322157879
Store, has to be in caps too.
>>
I did all this shit in Firefox and I got the box, typed in the numbers, then it went to search results for "SEARCH" and did nothing. No badge, so it really was a red herring
>>
>>322157879
that part is actually confusing, you dont need to type it in the search bar, just be in the in the page, type "search"(without quotes) and press enter, a input box should pop up

>>322157906
Weird, when i typed it in the store search bar and in caps, nothing happened, while it worked with the method i just described
>>
one shitty badge isn't even worth logging in to steam through a browser

>>322157993
Only works on Chromium browsers, it should technically also work on the Steam client since it's Chromium based but it doesn't.
>>
>>322158287
I don't have Chrome installed because fuck google watching more than they need to.
>>
i just got the badge on chrome, so what was the arg related to? HL3 confirmed cancelled?
>>
>>322158505
It's related to nothing, just having a secret badge you'd only get if you solved the ARG, but usual dumb steam didn't think people would share the method
>>
This isn't the solution to the ARG you fucking retards
This is a dead end
It's called red herring because you got fucking misled

I had a friend with Chrome try and jack shit happened, just went to a "NULL" page

The question is, is this a Steam Red Herring or is this you faggots's red herring?

How many of these faggots even know what a red herring is? The only reason I give it any credence is on the off chance that Steam actually put up a fake arg red herring for us

ikaruga is a dreamcast game

Nigga that shit was like 6 cents each yesterday. Unless last minute faggots went nuts buying I doubt that. Ragnarok Online's are 20-40 cents each atm since you have to buy time through steam to get them and it has few dlcs

No idea, I just used regular Chrome, went to the Ikaruga page, typed SEARCH in all caps on the Store search box, typed 1v7531 on the box, pressed OK and got it.

If there's a real red herring it's probably the badge itself, as in there could be another one.

The problem is that the prices go so low that they all get sold, increasing the price due to demand.

This ARG is fucking retarded.

You had to figure out there was an ARG to begin with by typing the code bar from the front of the comic on Hitman Code 47 page, not even the new one, no the fucking original game that no one buys.

How you were supposed to know that with only the codebar? Ask around, no one will tell you.
The rest of the clues are even more nonsensical.

The potato sack and Portal ARG made sense.
A stealth update to a popular game, followed by a couple of shady files, and a change to an item sound, a very notorious one I must add.

There was stuff to do and discover. Now we are waiting for Reddit to happen to stumble on the answer which reeks to valve spoon feeding, that or tomorrow's comic update...does anyone give a fuck about the comic? Maybe if it had been out BEFORE CHRISTMAS, we know it is not fucking Half life 3, that much we know.
