As was I. Perhaps the PAX live event will lead us to the next step...

Hm... March 11. Could we use that date along with what we know about the in game calender to anticipate when the next thing could happen, or it it more sporadic.

What is that in real time? November 21?

Isn't that close to the release date? Maybe we are going to be finally "recruited" for "training" so that we can be "backup" . Maybe there's something left to this ARG yet....

Agreed. I really don't like when ARGs end with the product release as the satisfying pay off. I hope we get some in game closure.

According to my math it'd actually be November 25th. Resistance 2 is scheduled to release Nov. 4th. I'm hoping/betting the next thing will come out of PAX this weekend. Surely they're not going to just be handing out AFAO flyers and recruiting more players after they just torched all the sites and made it hard for newcomers to retrace our steps from the beginning.

OT: Nobody get crazy and try to go there (if you get past their security, all you're in for is some really creepy deserted halls and rooms and a high likelyhood of spider-bites and tetnis), but I'm absolutely positive they shot all the videos at the same hospital that we used on "ELI" the short film I wrote and produced. It's an abandoned hospital called Linda Vista in East L.A. and they shoot a ton of indie films and things there - 3/4 of our crew had shot other things there - pretty much any time you need a "cheap" (extremely subjective word when talking film locations) hospital, go to Linda Vista. Pretty funny, we actually feature the same OR (where all the injection videos occur) and the morgue (the surveillance video with Hale and Cassie) in my movie. I know Foo Fighters shot a music video there, and E.R. did their pilot and perhaps some of the first season there.

Shameless plug warning

Yeah actually, our distributor just put it up on iTunes. Just go to the iTunes store and do a search for ELI (artist is listed as Shorts International, which is the distributor). It'll be in all caps and comes up as the 14th listing when I do it right now.

End shameless plug.

Right, that's what I mean. They are going to recruit and train us now so that we can be the backup by "Mar11". PAX is almost definitely going to be something to put us in the next phase of this ARG.

Why would they continue an ARG after the game's come out? (FTLR is an exception, they're doing the MO now)

Oh, I gotcha. You mean you think/hope the next part of the game, potentially starting off of whatever we get at PAX will be recruiting us and training us so that we can be the reinforcements for the PA site in Alaska by Mar. 11. Makes sense to me.

Though I'm betting (as someone else has said in one of these threads) that the "recruitment and training" referred to is actually some hands-on time for the PAX attendees with Resistance 2. Though another natural candidate (and awesome reward IMHO) would be invitations to the beta. But I bet people will get to play some of R2, then get something from AAA that lets us hack into Project Genesis to continue the ARG.
