I believe it is a reference to the Portal comic featuring ratman on IGN. SPOILER ALERT! In the conclusion of it, Chell's file is listed as [classified], and so I think this is where the hat name comes from. Joshel131 09:20, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Image upload issue

I took a higher-quality screenshot of the hat in Model Viewer, but the low-quality image from earlier appeared instead. What happened?? Wolfnanaki 23:35, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Cache issues. But someone is uploading a high quality one as we speak, your image had a lot of aliasing and seemed to be cropped by hand. User Moussekateer signature sprite.pngMoussekateer·talk 23:36, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Factual - Rumors

Would like to continue with adding of the Rumors section. Even if it's all wrong and turns out to be something else entirely, I think the attention players have turned towards the speculation is without a doubt the most frantic I have ever seen in a long time. People are pulling their hair out trying to figure this out and even the media has picked up on it. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/108965-Portals-GlaDOS-Invades-Steam-With-Potato-Related-ARG If not, that's fine, I just wanted to let my voice be heard about it. --Skunk 00:30, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Image

The backpack Icon looks better than the actual page image. Problem 00:05, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Yeha the image is blurry and kinda sucks. THE3STOOGES/HAMMERHEAD 02:33, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
It looks like a better one with the Engineer wearing it was uploaded it just hasn't appeared on the page yet.--Jordan 13:19, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Is it still possible to get it if I buy the pack now?

Is it? Just wondering... 404 User Not Found 01:15, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Pfh01988 03:36, 6 April 2011 (UTC)Yeah I'm also wondering...

No, the offer expired today, as formerly stated on the main page and on the steam storage page. --Nihilus0Backpack Lugermorph.png(contribs) 03:38, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
Wrong, actually. The sale is still going, and, as I quote from the page itself: "Plus, if you own all 13 of the games in this pack (or purchase this pack), get a special Team Fortress 2 potato hat. (Hat available after April 5th)" Problem 03:41, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
Pfh01988 05:25, 6 April 2011 (UTC) Very good, I asume this information shall be placed on the actual page?
It would make sense to add that information in yes. :) BiBi 18:48, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
Recently they made the Potato Sack bundle available for purchase again. I purchased the Potato Sack bundle yesterday, and was given a Genuine Aperture Labs Hard Hat. Today... there is no hard hat. It was removed from my inventory. VideoJack 15:47, 13 June 2012 (PDT)
Not the place for this discussion, take it to SPUF. Sorry. User:Darkid/Sig 16:17, 13 June 2012 (PDT)
Sorry, it was mentioned on the SPUF that this would be the first time a Genuine item was available a second time, and thought that would be something worth noting here. My bad. VideoJack 21:48, 13 June 2012 (PDT)

Question.

read that the hat has paint skins however, for time being, cannot be painted. Smashbrother101 11:29, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

I don't even have the hat yet. User Biz TFLogo.png Biz 17:46, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

That image

It's full of derp. -- OluapPlayer (t) Howdy, pardner! 21:03, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

No derp, just herp. Just a Gigolo 04:39, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
Not if you say it longer. Dhhhhhherp. maggosh 04:41, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Robin Walker email

It says "an email from Robin Walker has however confirmed the remaining hats will be dropped within the week of April 5th." Do we have an image to back this up? --Nihilus0Backpack Lugermorph.png(contribs) 22:40, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

I added the image to the page and the source of it. I haven't been able to point to the exact post, though, but it's the good page (I think). DSylom 09:28, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Light Turns Green?

Hey all, I'm not 100% sure about this, but pretty damn close sure, I think I saw the light of the mining light turn green before. This was on Hoodoo, and on the head of an engineer. Does anyone know what this is about, or what it might mean? SilverForce 04:33, 7 April 2011 (UTC)SilverForce

Maybe it turns a different color when it's near a clue Just a Gigolo 04:36, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
That's what I thought, but apparently thats not true... SilverForce 04:42, 7 April 2011 (UTC)SilverForce
It could always just be Valve trolling again. Just a Gigolo 04:46, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
I dont think it turns green that would be just ridiculous.maybe your hallucinating Silverforce.lol.THE3STOOGES/HAMMERHEAD 04:55, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
There's nothing in the coding of the item that would trigger this. The only thing it's coded for is self-ilum Balladofwindfishes 00:27, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
I wonder whether its the ambient light of the map making the light appear to change when its not. -- Swarfega  T  C  15:45, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Image naming needs fix

The capitalisation on classified is not consistent between the normal and painted item icons, see the all-class paintable items list for example! Case-sensitive media names causing problems! - Devozade 13:04, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Taken care of. Everything is fine here. maggosh 04:12, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Something for the Trivia section

Should it be mentioned the hat was used to uncover some glyphs for the ARG? I don't remember which maps, and the ARG wiki is down.

  • It was never used to uncover glphys for the ARG Bpc908 00:18, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Buy now, get later?

I was wondering this: If you were to buy the Potato Sack today and not play TF2 until Friday, would you still get the hat then? Cause Portal 2 comes out tomorrow, and the article says the hat will be available until the release of Portal 2. SSFF6B 23:09, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Yes. Once you own the Potato Sack, the hat is instantaneously tied to your account, and waits for you to pick it up. – Smashman (talk) 23:18, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Official name seems to be Aperture Labs Hard Hat

In Portal 2 the hats name shows up as Aperture Labs Hard Hat. For now I just made a simple redirect to this page, but my bet is tomorrow a patch will update its name. I'll let you all handle it though. Drkirby 11:45, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Creative names for the [ classified ] hat? Froad05 08:22, 23 April 2011 (UTC)


[CLASSIFIED] rumors

In games i have personally witnessed rumors of possible unusual effect additions to the new [ CLASSIFIED ], or more commonlly know as the potato hat. At this point could anything be possible for this outcome of this mind boggling hat? Froad05 08:59, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Unclassified

just wanted to point out that the Actual name of the Potato Hat has been released and i replaced [classified] Gamecrazy009 06:04, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

You're a bit late. >_> maggosh 06:05, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Style Image Seems Odd

I realize the style box simply uses the hardhat's image from the infobox, but when comparing the differences in the styles, it seem weird that the images don't actually show the difference. I think both images need to be facing with the Aperture logo facing out Balladofwindfishes 01:28, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Significance of Potato Batteries

Should we explain why the Potato batteries are important in the trivia. At least just say they have a large role in Portal 2?

--Zedo Mann 13:02, 27 June 2011 (PDT)

I agree that we should have a note on this, but we need to be sure not to add Portal 2 plot spoilers. Based on the mini edit war over the trivia for this page, I would recommend that this be discussed further before any implementation. Jh9594 01:50, 10 August 2011 (PDT)

After Eight and A Mann's Mint

Both of these paint styles are wrong in the "Aperture Logo" style. While we're at it, the "[ classified ]" style should probably be revamped to show the icon. User:Darkid/Sig 11:41, 25 May 2012 (PDT)

This continues to be an issue. Also, they appear to be wrong (it's less noticable) in the default style.User:Darkid/Sig 18:03, 30 May 2012 (PDT)

This was recently distributed again

A few days ago Valve re-introduced the Potato pack. On the ad for it, it said it came with the hat (again), but it was pretty clear it was a copy+paste problem. Either way, buying the pack gave you the hat in TF2. However, a few hours later all of the ones granted recently were removed. However... they've given them all back the last hour, which means this item was re-distributed, if not just for a few hours. Is this error on Valve's part worth noting?
