Yeah, it was mainly the ARGN article that made me think there was an ARG involved....

do the hexagons that appear over princess peach appear in paper mario, or at least from what anyone else has seen?

also, i believe the miyamoto tribute is a rerun, i believe i've seen it before

google princess peach halo 3 and you will find that the same actress does both Cortana's voice and Princess Peach... also Cortana is currently being held captive much like Princess Peach would be. Bowser vs. Gravemind

therefore...
Mario Brothers was just an ARG for Halo3?

Thought I'd toss this GameHead clip interview with 42 and this SPEC into the pile!

Well I did a preliminary watch through to see what I could notice, and the only thing I saw consistently in frame over a long period of time was the one framed photo at about head level on a shelf in one of the offices. The one of the adobe style building with the word "EATS" across the top.

Later today, I'll see if I can get the videos into a better software and go frame by frame.

mario was obviously not an arg for halo 3 but the parallels between the two games, as far as princess peach and cortana go (both being the same voice over artistst, and both being kidnapped) can't really be argued against, so what i see in all this miyamoto.spiketv.com thing is that there may be another clue in next weeks episode. have you guys seen the miyamoto frames i posted about earlier?
I also so the Eats restaurant, and i also so a reoccuring Ploy something or other in a frame in Bonds' office...

In the last part when they talk about the halo 3 arg the guy points and keep's looking at the last picture on the wall. Maby that has somthing to do with it.

A screen cap might help explain what you mean.

You mean this segment?

If the picture you're talking about is the Pirates of the Caribbean poster in Kona's screencap, although it's not mentioned in the video, 42 did a promotion called Dead Man's Tale for POTC2/Windows Live Messenger, so that might be leftover from that.

For those that wish to peruse without the whiplash-inducing video game reviews interrupting them, I'm hosting an edited version of the video (Quicktime and Windows Media format). (At least unless and until I get ordered to take them down.)

They're still uploading, though, so give them a bit.

Okay, so I have a whole slew of screencaps for all the good it does. Most of them are too blurry to make out text in the background, like on the white erase board. Did anyone Tivo it that could look in HD?

http://s176.photobucket.com/albums/w174/degravedi/

Some random observations/questions:
Could the "random" flashes of images at the end of Segment 4 have some significance to another 42 game? Are any of them from previous games? (minus the pictures of Miyamoto)

Alex Lieu quote: "Well cadavers were mentioned a few weeks ago but we havn't pulled that one off yet." Any brainstorms on what they possibly could have been used for (or were discussed being used for)? And could all the pictures of dead people on gurneys at the end of segment 4 be related to this in some way?

The EATS picture is right next to a gunslinger figure and has an adobe/western look to it. Can anyone who played Last Call Poker / Gun verify that it wasn't from that?

Why does Miyamoto look like a ghost in this picture? http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w174/degravedi/gh-seg4-16.jpg

What's with the bald Vegeta Cthulu dude? http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w174/degravedi/gh-seg4-17.jpg

Jordan Weisman has a Hello Kitty poster/calendar on his window Shocked

Last and most regrettably: The miyamoto.spiketv.com url was "hidden" as a sticker on the shelf while the host was talking to Susan Bonds, as can be seen below. So, the host saying "There's got to be hints around here" is probably refering to that since he's in the same room.

So there probably are no Halo 3 connections in the vids. However! That doesn't change the fact that we still have this string whose meaning we haven't figured out and which is actually from Bungie.
