While Lockjaw remains my favorite game overall, it was Last Call Poker that gave me my favorite moment. Doing small favors for Lucky in a local cemetery with my daughter (then 2.5 years old) is still a vivid memory for me. Everytime we drive by that graveyard, one of us says, "Look, there's our graveyard!" She still remembers the day as well as I do.

If I'm ignoring gameplay moments for now, I'd say ILB Chapter 7. Tied with the ice cream scene. Those two together had me riveted and tuned out of anything else going on. Best ARG story moment, for me at least.

For gameplay, that's not as easy since I'm fairly disconnected from most games being played (I lurk, and when not lurking I'm quite often just trying to sort and organize info =), but hm. For role playing (which I'm not a fan of in the ARG genre itself), I'd have to say recently my flashforward interview at Comic Con. Fun stuff =) For just general gameplay, while I was not an advocate of the initial event itself, my excursion to find a deaddrop for This Game is a Coverup was pretty fun (I objected to the live meetup at midnight in a dark, secluded forested area of town, given the dark/evil themes of the arg and no idea who was running it, and having no one else to go with =P but they changed it to a deaddrop which I got still at night, but the hunt was much more fun).

I'm sure there are other memorable moments, but my memory sucks Razz

gosh, does splitting a ~$300 with other argers during the International's padlock hunt count?

I does like me my money...

(In all seriousness a real life treasure hunt of sorts was pretty sweet!)

Total Game -- Prolly Looking Glass Labs. Great character interaction, good puzzles, exhausting pace, excellent player group.

Moments -- Bringing down the firewalls in Project Orpheocus. Again, great group dynamic. Pastry Warz. Delving into any of XIII's mashups and trying to figure out what they mean, e.g. Alien Nazi Clone Whales...

PM -- Playing Tommy in Rogue Virus. He was so sweet yet determined. Actually had fun with all the characters and keeping the players guessing about what they should do, who to help.

Having the privelage of working with Dave Szulborski on a number of projects is #1, after which I'd have to list them in no particular order:

1. PM chat on Launch night... electric!

2. PM chat monitoring of players during hard puzzles or climactic events... funny as hell! I still read through them every now and again for a chuckle.

3. Developing bonds [good/bad] with players through IGCs, you know the char is good if people empathize/depise...lol

4. My very first real puzzle solve almost 7 years ago in Acheron... still remember the thrill [God was it really that long ago?]

5. Finding this community during Push, NV {and Sunny lelelele}

6. Mart's puzzle trail.... so much fun!

7. Greywethers

... and many more....it's truly been a pleasure! Smile
