Don't know if it'll reveal anything new, but here's a site where you can play the game.

Cool! Where'd you find that?

Address on Veidt's ad.

It's been a while since I posted, but here it goes:
I noticed on the bottom of the Veidt ad for the arcade machine there was an address. I looked it up on Google Maps and was surprised to find that the clock beside it read close to five 'till. Obviously the short hand isn't on 12, but I thought it was interesting.
I couldn't find anything about who owns the building or what the building is on google, but I thought I would post what I had.

I found it after reading about it via i09.com , a sci-fi movie/television/tech blog.

I followed up by checking out http://www.thenewfrontiersman.net/ to see if it tied into it (seeing that it had "UK" in the address, I was a little skeptical). I noticed the quarter, and it linked right back to the game's webpage.

I think this might be as far as this thing is going to go seeing as how the movie is only a few days away (YAY!). Still cool though.

I really agree with you. I doubt they're going to turn this into an ARG in the next few days. The content was interestomg, though. Let's hope the movie is just as good.

Yay, new pic:



Ok, that was a fake yay. Talk about wasted potential, the Watchmen could have had an amazing ARG, heck even an amazing viral. Instead we get pics.

Guess I can't really complain, it's just really disappointing. It's kinda like the Star Trek viral let down, now we have two good properties wasted...

Well let's be honest... Does Watchmen and Star Trek really *need* more hype? Wink

I'm surprised they bothered with the pics at this point; they're not adding that much to the story, and only make sense for the most part to people already familiar with the story.

What's 42E doing these days? I miss their professionalism. Guess we don't know what they're working on until we KNOW, ya know?

I imagine if Zack was a bit more practiced in the skills of creating a viral campaign, we'd have more. He's spent his time working on filmmaking and storytelling skills, so at least we can expect a good film. Even just these pictures are cool to me, since I've not read the graphic novel. I don't even know if one could purchase the title anymore, without paying collector price penalties. At any rate, maybe someone involved can get that we'd like a more interactive experience, or at least a more truly chaotic fiction preamble to films in the future.

I know the graphic novel is available for sale, as I've seen it at work (a Best Buy in the U.S.). I'm sure you could also find it at Bookstores & comic shops as well...

11 dollars. Buy it, and read it before the movie comes out. You'll be glad you did.

Did Dark Knight? Wink

Sorry, you're probably right and I'm just being greedy, but I wanted some Watchmen ARG goodness. Guess I'll have to settle for the arcade game.
