Puzzle in VICE magazine's coverage leads to an email address and twitter account that I haven't seen before.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Morse code in the picture of the POD implant gives "maxrennlives at gmail.com long live the new flesh", which also leads to @maxrennlives, with a decent number of twitter followers and enough followers associated with the project that it seems related...also seems like there was another way of discovering it we missed, based on the 3k follower count.
Email that account, and you get a message saying you're #800 of 159431 (or at least that was my number) and asking you your darkest desire, along with some forced viral "forward to other people"-isnesss.

Found something? Might be just normal, might not By the way, I'm a new player to arg's, please don't scream at me for being wrong.
I found this in part of the website's source code on the "teams" page, not sure how to interpret it. Anyone have any ideas as to what this is? (It's in bodymindchange.ca/assets/css/main.css by the way.)
/* Embedded Content
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- */
img { border: 0; -ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic; vertical-align: middle; }
svg:not(:root) { overflow: hidden; }
Lots of other stuff too, like an author "Rene Antunes" as narmy font designer, authors of the webpage are Nicholas Gallagher, Jonathan Neal. I don't have time to go through all of it, but I bet you guys do.
(Again, I'm very new to args, and I've only read the unfiction arg playing rules, so expect me to be wrong.)

Hey KN, I'm fairly new myself -- but all the people I've encountered so far are very encouraging and I've yet to be yelled at for being a noob.
As a new player in the arg realm as well, I have yet to learn about coding (lol, yes I know HTML is common, but I just got out of the military after 10 years and my computer skills are more than slightly behind the curve). It does look somewhat normal to me, but that's the exciting thing about args-the most mundane things can lead to big clues.
Welcome, and it's good to know I'm not the only FNG around here

Thanks Ha'navi for the vote of confidence!
I'm guessing that the page will update or something today, since it's Oct 25. Btw, has anyone else noticed that the POD Challenge page was taken down yesterday? I can't find it at all on the home page, or anywhere else.

Can you add Videodrome to this?
