MAYbe this is his way of saying "sorry, guys. I haven't done my homework yet."

So, I also got the YT = Zekewind thing..
but whats the wind all about? o.O

And it's now an invalid username... so I don't know.
I didn't here anything on the "I want to go home" video, it looks like a TV, with no particular channel on it, so it's like a spooky white noise type thing. mm, vague. Lmao.

EDIT: okay, so it's not an invalid username, it's some guy. I dunno what he's trying to be, cause it's not scary like the "I want to go home" video.. Is this just one side to Zeke? Razz

Perhaps he's in reference to the "waking" of the Einherjar in Norse mythology. When the Einherjar (powerful warriors selected by the gods) die or fall in battle, their souls are escorted to Asgard (the land of the gods) by the Valkyries. It is there that they stay in Valhalla (Odin's hall) and prepare to fight the Venir during Ragnarok.

I'll email Zeke something like this, and see what he says.

i dunno. it doesnt seem right that this kid (who is obviously the PM) is leaving barely audible youtube vids for clues.

anyone else feel like hes crossing the line between ig and oog?

it just seems like these clues arent well thought out/placed/incorporated into the game.

im not knockin him at all, im sure being a pm is by no means an easy task, but i think you should only put out a trailhead if you are serious about it because people put alot of time and effort into finding out the storyline.

it just seems like this guy just expects us to get these clues. I dont know about you guys but I still am having trouble even with the most basic of plot points in this story. for instance...

whats the god damn official name of this???

what is the name of the other character/personality other than zeke??

what, exactly, is L.O.K.I.??

WHY does zeke want to end the world (Supposedly)??

there are alot of others but i have to go right now.... ill be back and you guys better have some damn answers for me!!!!!!!!!

yup, it's pretty cheap and a bit tacky, using freewebs for the whole thing.
and the vague clues are ridiculous. oh well, if he's reading he may changes his ways. L.O.K.I resembles something I've seen before. It stood for the names of 4 people, I think..

ah. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOKI

A type of cipher text, and the name of a Norse god.

Hm, anyway. be back later.

1. There have been a couple of good quality ARGs done using free internet sites (*cough* i.e. Sammeeeees). It's not about the resources used, it's if it would make sense for the characters to use these resources (i.e. a govt agency would NOT, but private individuals might) and if the information is useful, the clues thought out and a logical progression, and the story makes sense - then a good game can certainly utilize free internet spaces.

2. In VanishingPoint Game (the puzzle contest/ARG put forth by 42 Entertainment on behalf of Microsoft Vista Launch) had a main character named LOKI. Turned out she was 4 identical sisters and each letter stood for each sister's name. This part of the contest was won by the first person to submit the full name. Maybe a mod can put in the link to that thread (I am at work and cannot do that now).

Thats the one I was thinking of, with the 4 sisters.

Oh, I'm not denying that some good args have been done on freewebs and other free sites and stuff, but it just doesn't seem quite suitable for this one at the moment.. it's not exactly being used the to best of it's ability.

all I have is YT = Zekewind, and on that video, there is no information that is striking, or audible. Razz

the only thing there was to work off was:

the fact that it looked like zeke was looking up the word "waking" on a search engine or website (maybe?) and found the sentence "the direction of our mythology"

ive tried all the search engines and cant find anything that relates specifically to all this. theres alot of hits for "waking", or "direction of (our) mythology"

but like i said. nothing that specifically relates.

im stumped. did anyone get any more replies from zeke?

Nope, he's pretty slow to reply, and to answer your earlier question, intelligible means understandable. So it is true, in his video he is nowhere near understandable...
