Magritte is the Font and also the name of a famous painter who did the man in the derby hat with the apple in front of his face. This was actually a painting done when Magritte was requested to paint a self-portrait. This could just be a homage to the artist or it could be telling us that the fruit is also hiding something.

Read my post on page 24 for the low-down.

 		Carlo, you make no mention to the fact that it was a self-portrait and Magritte was hiding his own face with the apple. And to clarify your post is on page 23

 		lmao i love how drastic this topic gets....first i comment on carlo and his incredible use of logic and cowbell...then the community creates an inside parody (which i still hate myself for missing) ....then carlo feels unappreciated, then all is explained.....THEN ANOTHER PERSON EXPRESSES A THEORY WHICH WILL MOST LIKELY BE PARODIED IN 2 POSTS...i love unfiction....where humor and comedy connect...

 		pulled this off of 360updates.com

360 Europe Release Dates



Our friend Dale from thegamescompany.co.uk has emailed us a recent release schedule from a UK Distributor states the following game for release dates on the Xbox 360:

Tony Hawks American Wasteland 360 Activision 44.99 28-Oct
Call of Duty 2 360 Activision 44.99 04-Nov
Peter Jacksons King Kong 360 Ubisoft 44.99 04-Nov
Gun 360 Activision 44.99 11-Nov
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion X360 Take 2 TBA 18-Nov

Thanks for this news Dale! =D

Why would they be releasing a game on Oct. 28th if the xbox wont come out for another month?? Maybe Origen counts down to the announcement that the xbox will be out in a month. Maybe Oct. 27th is the release date. Any thoughts?

 		Also wanted to throw in that the whole Magritte connection that Carlo is discussing was already mentioned on Teamxbox forums back on August 21st. http://forum.teamxbox.com/showthread.php?t=367615&page=31&pp=15 there is the link.

First of all, the name's Carlo.

Second of all, the general audience have entertained themselves with enough 'simple' solutions, such as the apples referring to Apples Ipod, the Green rabbits meaning you are viewing them in nightvision, or pathetically making people think that your photoshopped images of sightings of "Wilson' and 'Anthony Hopkins' are real. I think a more sophisticated approach should be taken since everything so far is purely symbolic in my eyes.

I'm very sorry Carlo-.
But my position remains unchanged. While I respect your theory for it's brilliance, I really think the obvious target audience for the campaign thus far, and even a continued progression require this to be slightly simpler than that.
Your theory works. But it's not too receiving for something new to happen. other than the rabbit moving closer to the tree. And I really think that the meaning falls a bit simpler. Of course I'm not giving weight to the silly ideas thrown out thus far, but you should really open your mind to considering other possibilities.

Please don't get all worked up, but my opinion stands at face value until I am proven wrong, you are proven wrong, or something new happens to change the parameters thus far recieved.

OKAY THAT'S IT STOP POSTING ABOUT THIS STUPID ORIGEN CRAP IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. THERE IS NO MEANING. NOBODY CARES ABOUT IT. YOU WILL NOT GET A FREE XBOX. MICROSOFT SUCKS.

ANYBODY WHO BRINGS FORWARD ONE MORE STUPID USELESS SPECULATIVE THEORY IS GOING TO FACE THE WRATH OF MY BUNNY FISTS SMASHING THEIR EXOTIC FRUIT!


EDIT - reduced font size from 24pt as it was excessively large and eye-gougingly violent. - SG

 		in hoc spatio arbor noser floruit fecundus pomis Elysii ignoti quo in loco ludent electi, ab Originis angelis circumdati.

 		translation of latin words
In this space our tree blooms abundant with the unknown fruits of Elysium, which will imitate in the place chosen, surrounded by the angels of Origen.

 		Well that's pretty useless.

(Paraphrase from here on in) Elysium is of course Campus Elysii, in which Rudbeck intended to depict all plants in the world known to man. "The Elysian Fields" are figuratively a place of supreme happiness and bliss. (end paraphrase)

Wow, that's great and all, but it is just yet another Xbox360 boast.

Although I'm interested in that they mentioned the "Angels of Origen".

 		Are you sure it doesn't refer to the "origin of angels"?
