Oh boy, here we go. I'm not touching this one. But I know if bWF (aka "matrix sucks") shows up, this is the first thread he's gonna hit and it's pretty predictable what he's gonna say.

This is a matrix spin-off game. We havnt seen any agents or anything like that, but this game takes place in the matrix...the glitches alone show that, let alone other things...do some people still not know whether they think this is a matrix spin-off or not, because its obvious it is. You may reply saying "that is only speculation, you have no proof" or something...but if you dont think this is a matrix spin-off game, then what the hell do you think you're playing? lol


I'm trying to be careful not to be sucked into a "matrix/non-matrix" discussion for the umpteenth time (yes, it's tempting over and over again Smile ), but just for the sake of shedding light in the other direction, I'd like to state that we on these boards made the paranormal events into "glitches", it's not the other way around.

This game can still turn out to be promoting an upcoming movie about paranormal stuff (and dolphins Laughing ) instead of something Matrix-related... it's only when you accept that this is Matrix-related that things like glitches, agents, unplugged people, etc. seem to lie around every corner. I am not convinced this game is Matrix related, but at this moment, I'm not at all convinced it is not either...

I bet if i put some energy into it, I could make this thing seem Indiana Jones 4 related Wink

Okay, what if I never, EVER, saw the Matrix. I have been thinking about that? At the very least characters seem to be slave to something. Be it a dreamworld, a digital world, something. While this has a lot to do with paranormal activity there's still a lot of weirdness going on with the digital aspect of it. How does the Aquapolis fit into this whole plot if this is just another X-Files episode? Dina. Dina is video taping a screwy message in the subway station that says "Wake up". And yet she knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was in fact awake. So what does she need to wake up from? Was the message for inspiration for one of the homeless people sleeping in the subway station? "Come on buddy, wake up, keep tryin' you can do it. The right job is out there for ya."

I know I said I wouldn't touch this. But at the very least I think the characters in this story are a slave to something. (Dark City anyone?). The Matrix is not the only movie out there that depicts the race of humans being held under slavery. It might not be "The Matrix", but it might be a tribute, as "The Matrix" itself was a tribute to "Ghost in the Shell"

Alright, I am back. Wow, lots of responses, good stuff.
Bakntime, about the wallpaper, I was talking about the one with the binary in it. I know someone decoded the binary, but isn't it like the WBs to put forth something somewhat obvious, and then put something even deeper. I was just attacking from a different angle. But does anyone else see the ripples like Neo taking off?

Quote:
i dont see any of this linking to neo, they probably put thomas anderson in on the member directory just to show it is related to the matrix, i doubt any of this will lead to main matrix characters, and to be honest...i hope it doesnt.


Yeah, I hope it stays away from the main characters too, but there is no doubt that they put him in there for a reason. Maybe we'll get more info once we get past the login.

Quote:
I'm not so sure - the guy Dina describes, the impossibly clean guy in the sharp-fitting suit sounds almost undeniably like an agent.


Ahriman knows what I'm talking about. The sharp looking, suit wearing guy who seems like he has a stick up his butt. definitely an agent.

Az is right about who made it though, definitely meaningless, but I was just curious.

I also want to point out most of you didn't get the point I was trying to make with this post. I was wanting us to go ahead and backtrack(paradox). Take for instance the desktop pic, you all want to know what the icon is. But look at the time, it says 1:12 refering to peter 1:12

It obviously means to look for something. Also look at the magnifying glass in the paintover "Whomp".
And finally, what about Find an the..., Find the an..., etc.

I'm done for now, really, must rest brain before system overload AKA: Aneurism

Uh oh, too late.

I think most people here agree that it's quite unlikely that the "Brothers" are behind this game. It's not impossible, just improbable.

How do you know it referrs to Peter 1:12? It could refer to virtually anything. I'm not sure how it "obviously" referrs to something. That image has been there since basically day one of this game, I would imagine that if there was some clue there and we hadn't found it yet, the PMs would do something to further draw our attention to it.


Quote:

And? It was already figured out as a clue... There was a word missing where the magnifying glass is. That's how the unjust files were found if I recall...

Quote:

It's FINDTHE... as far as I know there's no "A" or a second "N" in there yet. I think we're going to need more letters (more binary file names) before that can be figured out.

end of the day...this is matrix related whether people like/except it or not...the same company from matrix, the same character called thomas anderson is included, lots of paranormal things that cant seem to be explained, and most sound exactly like the matrix is glitching...everything shows that at least dina doesnt feel right about the world. C'mon we know this is linked to the matrix, if the PM's read this...they'll be like "wtf, they arent even sure if its a matrix spin-off yet...geez which game are they playing?!"

The only question, is how much its linked to the matrix...it doesnt have to be linked to the films at all, and i hope it isnt...id rather it just be a story that is happening inside the matrix...the glitches and software company are the main thing to do with the matrix that the story is based on, it hopefully wont include any main characters from the film...its nice if its a story just set in the matrix.

Maybe that's when the ARG will really heat up! It is entirely possible there is a hint in the movie that helps the ARG along. Sure, that's a long-shot, but it is still possible.

I don't see any hints in the movie effecting the game ... immediately. Since it's widely speculated this ARG is not official property, I'd be surprised to see this end tomorrow, or when TMO comes online. Like XTraVa, I would imagine there is no end date set. Just when we solve everything and figure out the objective of the game. Which could be awhile... *cough, Oct 1 paintover pic, cough*

However, I wouldn't be surprised to see the PMs use material from Revolutions in the ARG. But I don't expect it either. After all, I haven't seen anything directly from Reloaded either.

Remember folks, this is based on the property, not the details of the films...

*sigh, this is getting old...*
