In the secret picture in this weeks comic, does anyone else think it now looks like Matt laying on the floor? It appears as though Issac is sitting to the left by the art supplies, Sylar is leaning on the wall at the bottom right, and possibly Peter is standing looking down at Matt with his back to us. This may well be all the players for that big scene.

I just found out about this game.

Seeing as I tend to know about this stuff before it begins, I'm surprised it took me two months to hear about it. I'm not the biggest fan of Heroes (honestly, up until the more recent episodes, I was ready to punch my television every time I watched it but kept going in hopes it would improve, which is has - a bit), but would have jumped on this game.

Though, after 41 pages of UF talk... what exactly are we doing? It really doesn't seem like This Is Not a Game, nor do they seem to have any sense that any real people are out there. Heck, the way it is going, this game makes the Lost Experience look like the Beast.

Also, can anyone reconcile how the show Heroes actually fits into this mythology? Obviously Hana is acknowledging its existence, but pretends like what happens on the series is REALLY taking place... but yet, Claire only gets 10 hours to film her real life? Maybe I missed something.

Anyhow, I'm Canadian, and NBC seems to have forgotten that we watch the show simultaneously, so all I can do is watch, and I think I'll keep doing so

To follow up on the "Hiro's blog" thing, it wasn't just the "bound by love and death," but also the reference to hiding in 15, and ALSO the "in olden times, we would use courier to send truth" or whatever it was. Connect that with the response you'd get if you sent to timeSPLATprimatechpaper.com, which tells you that you aren't a "seeker of truth," and you can find the connection.

Still, pretty bizarre. I wouldn't have seen it unless it was shown to me.

I give'em massive kudos for trying, honestly. These ARGs look like hell to put together, so props that they can get ANYTHING off the ground is pretty good.

Thing is, should a dry run be given much pre-launch publicity (though I didn't see it, seems it had)? I can understand the working out of the bugs, but it seems like it hasn't even tried to learn from the mistakes of games which happened just last year (I speak of The Lost Experience almost exclusively, which had its dry run in those fun little Oceanic Airlines websites that only the most ardent internet people would have found.

I just worry that if this one keeps hitting bugs and duds, you may have people not be willing to give it another shot. Extended realities are fine, I enjoy the blogs and the comics and such, I just noticed regular grumblings of discontent from a lot of people over the whole thread and hope they can tie up the game before people are disheartened. Here's hoping they are watching the ARG community for feedback.

Anyhow, all I ever do on these boards is complain. I'll be happier, I swear

Honestly, I don't think that'll be a problem. If they continue to have the same issues next year, then I can see people giving up; but as it stands, they never claimed that this was anything except what it is. If it's going to be bigger and better next year, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, and I think most of the fans will, too; they haven't failed in the quality of the show yet, and that's what counts with most people.
