 		Goldrush
Brought to you by AOL and Mark Burnett -

Watch CBS shows, read participating magazines, surf around AOL and win your share of the $2.2 million in prizes. If you're one of the top finalists, you'll be flown to an 'exotic location' where you'll compete for $100,000 in front of an online audience of millions! (I have no idea where the other $2.1 million went to.)

Make sure you team up with a buddy using AIM - and make sure you rub your progress in the faces of all the other losers who are behind you.

With a more annoying host than Treasure Hunters I present: Gold Rush

Enjoy Very Happy

 		Yeah, nice try AOL, but you're gonna have to do better than that to trick me into visiting your hompage. Besides, I have exactly zero pop-culture knowledge.

Also, I agree about the host dude.

 		AOL's Gold Rush has sponsors
This press item is over a week old, but it gives some further details about what to expect:
Top Advertisers Sign On for 'Gold Rush'

What "ARG-like part of it" do you see? I see no story, no puzzles, just some challenges and questions to answer and many, many places to look for clues embedded in advertising. They've billed it as a scavenger hunt, and that's definitely a Timewaster to me.

After surviving Act Three (Revenge of the Glyph Hunt) of The Lost Experience thus far, which has been 99% scavenger hunt and maybe 1% story development, I cannot feel anything but dread for this one.

 		Looks like I'm the only one on the site looking forward to this show. Pop culture is the only information my brain retains these days, so I'll enjoy it simply for the fact that I get to try and win some money without much effort.

The only thing that blows is the Gold Rush site suggests "teaming up" with Gold Rush buddies or they predict you won't go very far in succeeding in the game, and I have no buddies. So if anyone else out there knows a lot of pop culture and would like to team up please let me know. Smile

 		dangit, I work for a sponsor company of this game so I can't play... (And no, I know ABSOLUTELY nothing about this, except what you do... My company is involved solely for the marketing exposure, not in the planning of the thing)
