I am new at this and just stumbled across the teaser site last night, so bear with my ignorance... I'll do my best to fend it off and spare you all.

When I first played the original BioShock, I noted something presumably irrelevant, but maybe there's something to it. At the very first menu, scrolling through the "New Game, Load Game, Options," selections by holding down the joystick, or repeatedly putting it in the 'up/down' position, a series of random piano notes is produced.

Later in gameplay, I noted that upon discovering, then assaulting any discovered piano/guitar would produce the same, random (contradiction in terms I know) notes. Is there any thing there? I have recorded the notes and they don't seem to have any real pattern, they are truly random, but maybe there's a recurring theme.

Could there be a pattern in these notes? Or is it just an artistic choice for a menu selection screen?

I tend to get carried away with theories and speculation, but what else is a teaser site for if not to get the creative juices flowing? Thanx for putting up with my ramblings, hope I didn't offend Very Happy


so far, we have not found anything to the notes played... yet. but you are not ignorant for suggesting that. in fact, there may be something to this, but we need some way to translate the notes from the menu to the notes on the site. anyone with musical ability care to take a stab? i am not that proficient with such things.

oh, and welcome to the place of mad people. i'm mad, you're mad... we're all mad here.

and i know you're mad... or else you wouldn't have come here... Shocked
exactly. if we weren't mad we wouldn't go to obsene places to go pick up a stupid usb key for 1/6th of a song. we wouldn't follow clues in the sky in san diego two years ago. we are the ARG opulation and we love it and yes we are extremely mad and thats effin pwoper!


actually, i was making an Alice in Wonderland quote... but that works too.

 		It is only about 10 hours from here. I am considering making a road trip out of it... If I can find someone to go with me, I'm there.

 		Where?!
I want to go so badly, I live in Western, MA so it would only be a three and a half hour drive to NY (supposedly) but I have no clue where that beach is. I'm assuming that this is going to be run in the same way as the scavenger hunts that 42E have done where there's going to be official people there for the same of some kind of security?

I don't know if there will be security or not, but I would bank on there being staff present. If I were 3 hours away I would be there, but that's me, I'm a nut. If you want to go I say go for it, just plug it in Google maps and hit the road.

Oh, and of course keep my offer in mind... Cool

....dammit.

 		Swag would be much appreciated! I'd be SO willing to give out my address for someone who picks it up! I live in New Brunswick, Canada, so postage might cost a little bit, but I'd be willing to reimburse.

And if anyone doesn't want their Rapture Records record, I'd be more than willing to have one of those too. Wink I'll be sending in some mail, but it might be too late.

I'm glad they cleared up the coordinates. Unfortunately Vancouver is on the complete other side of the continent!

 		Oh saddness!!
I live in Alabama, so I guess I won't be going to see.
Sad

With the box, I just took a picture to remember which ones I had clicked. Much easier.

I read something that said 2K is taking the subtitle 'Sea of Dreams' off of the name and just calling it Bioshock 2. :\
