[TRAILHEAD] Jen???

[catherwood-offline]

good lawd! any URL which says "download", "yousendit", and an undeciperable ID tag strikes fear in my heart.

http://www.yousendit.com/static.php?key=company

look at what that site does: helps people send large files.

therefore, I would NEVER click without knowing what to expect.

Ooo very nice and semi-creepy. The MP3 is named "Week3 Subject3 - Feb 01, 2007 19.21.51" So if it's an arg, maybe we have to search for the other mp3 logs?

And btw catherwood, I scanned it for viruses/bots and it's safe.

[AngBa]

thank you both - my pc's so messed up right now that another virus prolly wouldn't matter....

i'm just not used to getting hit up by strangers - it NEVER happens... i hope that it's ok

I wasn't around for the "i love bees" (is that right?) arg for Halo wasn't it? But I think I did hear something about a sequel arg being done. With the reference to bees, maybe it has something to do with that?

Just wanted to pop in and let everybody know that I got the same thing.

I got it a little while ago, and wasn't quite sure what to make of it...interesting stuff.

I wasn't around for Ilovebees myself, but I did go on the website and listen to all the MP3s they had. Next best thing right?

I have to say I listened to the MP3 too and it sounds like it could come from Ilovebees because of the beginning and ending sound, which is typical of their MP3s.

Whether or not it is indeed a sequel for Ilovebees, this MP3 is definitely something to debate on whether it's the start of a sequel (official or not) or it's someone who has wishful thinking and is trying to drag everyone along.

But I swear to god I've heard that male voice somewhere else before, I just can't put my finger on it......

I guess what i meant was that if a trailhead involves downloading an unknown file from an unknown stranger, I just wouldn't play along. If a PM chooses to launch that way, they may be limiting their initial audience to the less paranoid players. Glad to hear it was safe (and that people know to have protection in place).

we've already been thru a fake ILB2 (link to an archive when i get around to it)

[degravedi]

So, had a very long convo with the guy. Here are the useful excerpts:

I've had the file mirrored here:

I played ILB.

I've noticed there's been a lot of buzzing...ahem...on various gaming forums and websites about a "sequel" to ILB, or about the game "starting up again" -- all, apparently, because someone visited the website and decided it had changed.

It hasn't.

It's exactly where we left it. Yes, there's a countdown, but that was there at the end of the game: it's counting down to the date in the future when the Covenant attack Earth, the date at which the part of the ILB story that took place in the future ended, and in which Halo 2 begins. The pictures on the background rotate, so they may change if you visit it multiple times, but there's nothing new there.

So, any rumors based on the idea that the site has changed are based on mistaken information.

Just FYI.

...and I'll also add on, it doesn't sound like he's saying "Jen", but "Jan", who was a character in ILB. The voice sounds like someone attempting to impersonate Jersey. I just got the AIM this evening...

It sounds like it might be someone attempting an unofficial sequel to ilovebees, and this clip/rabbithole is Jersey trying to revive Jan after something.

I agree with Phaedra - and confident it's not official from 42. ..more than likely a spinoff or unofficial continuation. I'm all for it if the quality's there... but this really doesn't scream 42 in the slightest.
