new to ARGs

heya! I'm relatively new to ARGs. I played majestic a few years back and I was bummed when it was cancelled so quickly. I didn't know there was a whole network of these games until I recently read an article about them in the recent gameinformer mag (as I'm sure you'll be hearing that a lot in the coming weeks). anyway, as my life is now, I don't have massive amounts of time and resources to devote to a game, nor am I a 1337 h4xx0r, so I'm looking for something fairly simple and easy to jump into. I apologize if I'm not posting this in the correct forum. anyway, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

Hey Reedus

I'm in the same boat as you. I find it hard to get into existing ARGs, so I tagged onto this one: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=19700

It's only been active about a day, so you should find it easy to get into (I did!).

Good luck either way,


Mason

I'd suggest taking a look at this post by notgordian, as it has brief blurbs about various current games. I think there are also a few similar threads around the place, probably filed under META.

I think many of the bigger games will have summaries posted that you could delve into to see if it's for you, otheriwse just read through the recent threads in News & rumours until one catches your eye. And if you don't find anything straight away, check back every so often. These things spring up really quickly, so there's bound to be something along soon!

well, within (literally!) a few minutes registering, I received a cryptic pm from another newly registered member, which thrust me into (presumably) the 6op 1 libra game, as was suggested by mason. perfect timing, I suppose?

thanks for suggesting that thread. I'll definitely have a look at it!

I too read the gameinformer article on ARG's and I must say all of this is quite interesting and becoming addicting even tho I'm not quite sure I'm understanding it all just yet

Hey, Kona...

Lokks like you have to be a subscriber to get to them, but there are actually two articles, both of them interviews; one with Jordan Weisman, the other with Andrew Darley.

Look here.

Anyone have a workaround to be able to read these interviews without a subscription?

I'd take some screencaps, but I don't want the GI guys to come here and revoke my subscription. Razz
