Main Entry: cringe
Pronunciation: 'krinj
Function: intransitive verb
Inflected Form(s): cringed; cring·ing
Etymology: Middle English crengen; akin to Old English cringan to yield, Middle High German krank weak
1 : to draw in or contract one's muscles involuntarily (as from cold or pain)
2 : to shrink in fear or servility
3 : to behave in an excessively humble or servile way

Yes, I understand this is in the in Console/Video Game Discussion forums now, and if I don't like it then I am not forced to read it. But I am so assiduously debased by the professed mediocrity of human intelligence; I cannot help but cringe when I come across this absurdity. I believe it is God's intention to humble us, by forcing us to live amongst idiots. The human mind is such an extraordinary device, capable of reaching supreme echelons of deduction, yet ruthlessly marred by the inanity it can also produce.
Life—or the diminutive fragment of it made available to us—is a superfluity of erudition ripe for our picking. Even so, the less capable of us elect to deluge their awareness with hogwash. Should you be capable of understanding these notions, then please look up to the sky and praise the Lord for favoring you amongst the herd, and granting you the supremacy of comprehension, while in its place the remnants have only gained the untoward ability of degrading their senses by perceiving faces in the trunk of a digital tree.

Enough with the harsh flaming! There is nothing else to do with this but take wild stabs in the dark with a giant pitch fork. Go flame your mallows... and toast... but in a toaster.

I must be mistaken, I thought the intent was to share ideas and information in the hopes that collectively we could solve the task before us. If you can't see the figures in the base of the tree then how about posting why you think the observation is incorrect or invalid.

Fact is I have now shown over 20 people these figures in the base of the tree and almost every one of them has trouble seeing them until they know what to look for. I found yyz's post very helpful in explaining this.

I suggest you go back and have a better look at yyz's post.

I never thought you were flaming, I just thought you weren't contributing anything meaningful.

Okay, so in the interest of digging the signal out of the noise, and hopefully ameliorating people's desire to engage in tapinosis, and to avoid annoying Scrappy...

A SUMMARY

BEGINNING, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT ACTUALLY BE A RABBITHOLE

In the Beginning, there was the Tree and Rabbit on the OrigenXBox360 site. There was also a barely-visible countdown to September 27th. There was also a picture that had "origen" written in white on the tree's leaves. The domain was registered to Microsoft. It was suggested that there might be a connection with X05. It was also suggested that "Origen" might be a contraction of "Oriental Generation." September (or October?) 27th seemed too early for the release of the XBox 360, which is rumored to be planned for November.

There was also some weird text at the bottom of the page:

Damn fine sum-up, Phaedra. I would just urge additional caution regarding the .org and .net sites.

The Google group that the .org site pointed to was created (after appearing on the .org site) by a user/player and decimated due to a ruse perpetrated by a fake-PM named Sarge. If it wasn't OOG, the PMs would have had a tighter reign on it. Also, a number of players tracked down Sarge to his Yub.com account. His real name is Ray/Rainero Ubillus. The purge of the Google group was engineered to hide his identity.

Also, "Oriental Generation" is a bit offensive since the word "oriental" refers to things not people. Generation, while used in the technology field occassionally, more often refers to people.

That's my two-bits. Thanks again for the sum-up!

Another thing I'd like to add: If someone claims to be part of a viral marketing campaign (key word: marketing) and wants you to keep everything a secret, he/she/it is probably playing you.

hooray for phaedra...

[Huginn]

Excellent recap. You might as well just delete every other pose and keep that as the first one

[yyz]

The site has updated again...rabbits are on opposites side of tree...additional pair of fruit added.

Hey guys.. I just found this from the first ARG "The Beast"
(For the text that goes with it you can visit here and click the "Martin Swinton" link on the right.)

[spec] away to your hearts content.

Plese take note that this is a truly great attempt to pull all of your collective legs, this is actually from the ARG The Beast and if you try following it up, you'll get no information whatsoever about the origenxbox360 website.

Now that the Xbox 360 launch dates are announced, we can lay to rest any specs on early release in Japan.
