The header's really BIG! As they can be but you might notice PHPList at the bottom of the jobby. (email) Also you may notice that the url it comes from isn't registered but hey! Check this out as it's in the header of the said email...

 		Since we are showing emails, I just got an email from the regenesis folks telling me there will be a 2nd season to regenesis it sounds like Smile

Quote:
ReGenesis Extended Reality game launches on Global Television!
The ReGenesis Extended Reality pulls viewers into a mystery that weaves in and out of the TV series, blurring the line between fiction and reality. Biotechnology surrounds us, and the 21st Century will not allow us to ignore it. This is not science fiction; it is science fact. At each moment, viewers will stop and think: "This could really be happening!" and it is, online.

Pieces of the puzzle can be anywhere. Starting with emails after each episode, you will soon enter A MAZE OF COMMUNICATIONS across multiple websites, discussion with other viewers, webcam video, classified documents, even telephone voicemail and a login to hack into the internal network of NorBAC.

Global Television brings you the exciting series premiere of ReGenesis this Monday, August 29th as a dangerous, unidentified virus makes its way towards downtown Toronto and NorBAC labs.

You have been sent this email from your registration at www.regenesistv.com

If you would like to experience the ReGenesis Extended Reality game from the beginning as it launches with Global this fall, please click the link below to confirm your registration details.

If you have already participated in the first season of ReGenesis and would like to be notified when the second season begins, please click the following link.


If you would like to register a new address, visit the ReGenesis website to enter.

I would like to join the ReGenesis Extended Reality game with a new email address. (Click here to join)

If you would not like to receive any further contact from the ReGenesis Extended Reality, please ignore this message. By confirming your email address you have agreed to our Terms & Conditions posted here.

Only you know the whole story. Be a part of it.



I cut out the parts with my email address Smile They also pointed oldtimers who played the first season of regenesis to http://www.regenesistv.com/discuss/ if any one is interested and said the sciencesucks boards will be back up when they launch on the 29th Smile

Sounds like from the email that the 2nd part should be new to everyone from the way I read it.

 		Figures. Thirty seconds after I make plans for Monday night, I come across this. Ugh. (By the way, Monday night is when the season priemere for this ReGenesis thingy shows) Evil or Very Mad Well, that's what TiVo is for right? I'll hop on board this one...Are we going to reopen/make a new forum here for the game? I ask only out of pure laziness, as it's far too much trouble to check the forums here and on the offical site everyday. Laughing

 		Probably a really dumb question, but do you have to actually watch ReGenesis to play the game?

 		Not really, but it does provide perks and helpful hints. It's really interesting when you spend all week solving this puzzle until you finally discover the anwer and send it to an in-game character.
The cool part is that the character will be in the next episode saying,
"oh, I got this from the people online."
"what, you mean those nutters?"
"They're not nutters!"
etc.
It makes for an interesting ARG experience.

 		Strange Chat Session
I just got a really strange IM on MSN from riddlemaskSPLAThotmail.com

Wondering what you guys think about.

Larry says:
What revolution?

Larry says:
Okay...who are we revolting against?
riddle mask says:
that is all


He popped in, said his stuff, popped out.

EDIT: Just recv'd another message from him pointing to this email addy snorlax_ukSPLATyahoo.com

Emailed the addy and he replied like he had no idea what it was about.
searched on the yahoo id and found a linkin park forum that points to the user sarevok having that yahoo addy. Just some quick search on sarevok and that appears to be a Baldur's Gate character. Don't know what that means...still searching.

 		[Trailhead?] BrainBullet
I got this wierd email. It advertises software that "implants highly desirable personality traits directly into your brain subconsciously through your computer". the site is here I can't see anything that seems to lead anywhere, but I also can't believe that this is a serious product.
