 		Not my sort of game, but I always read through the trailheads when I can, and spotted this:

http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=29001

Same game? Certainly both got a "whoami" thing going on.

Enjoy. Smile

Possibly some morse code.

 		I'm going to start tracking this one too, but I don't exactly have very high hopes, but this COULD be interesting. Those ads however, don't fit mother's advertising style, which is firmly aimed towards being X-TREME and HILLARIOUS!!!11!, as opposed to creepy.



EDIT: Also, lets look at who posted that link "ixtaccihuati"
Other then a user on the NIN forums, and a twitter account with one post,
This name seems to be a misspelling of a volcano in mexico, Iztaccíhuatl (the common spelling variant being Ixtaccíhuatl).

A comment on that blog reads:
Quote:
Anonymous said...
the title is not morse code. It's more like the title of the viral videos. If you see the gaps (sort of like gaps in hangman) and join it with some of the speculation that's been going around in forums, it should be: "It's me ---------" I still haven't figured out the last word. Anyone?

27.1.10


However, Ixtaccíhuatl or Ixtaccíhuati don't fit in that 9 letter space. Hm.

 		Alright, and now we have more!
The blogspot has been updated,
Changing it's title to: 29151493,
Also posting a blog entitled "I am 29151493"

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
2.9.15.14.9.3 = B.I.O.N.I.C)




This flag is posted in the top right hand corner, a reverse image search via the lovely firefox addon, revealed it to be the flag of Vanuatu! Also, if the url of the image is https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/graphics/flags/large/nh-lgflag.gif, which is interesting, but doesn't exactly mean much.

Another blog has been posted, entitled 23.3.10 (23rd of March 2010),
with a link named 9.1.13.669321018, much like the video at the start of this thread, however when followed it leads to:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fppKGJD3Y6c

Which, is BARRED OWL AMAZING VOCALS!

On the original 9.1.13.669321018 video ,this link is being thrown around
http://stuff.sonybmg.de/Image/Christina_Aguilera/Promo_Album.jpg , which continues the claim that this is in fact a promo by Christina Aguilera, combined with the 23.3.10 blog title, gives me the uneasy feeling that this is nothing THAT interesting.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
My suspicions are also helped by the Barred Owl video. A barred owl's cries are often interpreted as: "Who Cooks For You?", which I suppose could be Christina, as she is a woman, and therefore belongs in the kitchen? KIDDING.

 		I don't think the blog and the videos are from the same game. These videos have high production values so a blog involved in it wouldn't probably be in blogspot (even if for being more real purposes). The videos and the blog don't seem to fit together.

 		I'm pretty sure the blog is unrelated. It just reeks of gamejacking so I wouldn't pay too much mind to it. It's probably a Christinastan.

There was a post about this on ONTD yesterday and some posters have determined the likelihood of Iamamiwhoami being Swedish because of the cake in the third video.

 		People are saying it's probably the Knife... here is some of the work by their singer uner the name Fever Ray, suffice to say it fits this aesthetic:

All great videos, though the video you linked for "Triangle Walks" isn't the official music video, it's a fanmade video. The official one is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUqZKzCH34E

The videos from iamamiwhoami do give me a bit of Fever Ray feel but I'm not convinced they have anything to do with her yet... They're definitely interesting videos though so I'll be following this to see what we can turn up.

And I may be stepping outside my circle of knowledge saying this, seeing as I've never actually witnessed a goat giving birth, but there really seems to be something wrong with whatever is coming out of that animal in the Prelude video.

*Edit*
Just wanted to add that if this is indeed a Christina Aguilera promo, I'll be kind of disappointed, but... might have to check out the direction she thinks she'll be going with it. Could be pleasantly surprised? Maybe?

 		Discovered this on a GaGa forum. Bummer y'all already caught the I.A.M. and I.T.S.M.E.

Christina's new album IS called Bionic, so I think we're pretty sure this is a very clever promotion now. >.>

That "Like. Hell." in the newest video is downright unsettling.

Edit:

Prelude 699130082.451322

6+9+9+1+3+0+0+8+2=38
4+5+1+3+2+2=17
1=A, 2=B, 3=C.. etc..
38=CH(ristina) 17=AG(uilera)

A collaboration with Le Trigre could explain the random spike of creative integrity being brought fourth by Christina. Because we all know she doesn't hold enough creative dexterity to produce something so intriguing. If this even is a viral for her new album.

 		It seems each vid has an associated animal link.
The first one was linked to the goat video,
The second to the Owl,
The third to 'facts about the whale shark'

All three linked vids seem to have something to do with mating/birth etc.
So far this seems more like a concept illustration than a game.

But Christina's latest album? Really? Really?
I'd be more inclined to think Teargas & Plateglass.

 		"This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Molly Nolte. "

That's what I get when I try go get the 'Prelude 699130082.451322' video.

If you view it from the main channel, it still works, though. Odd. Each video has had it's respective animal bit linked in the 'more info'

 		Molly might just be the person who owned the goat video clip.

Worth an e-mail?

*EDIT*

It seems she has her own site here:

Weirdly the contact page says she's had to take her e-mail address down....

 		it's not viral marketing. no pr/marketing firm in their right mind would use copyrighted material in their videos without permission, and they did not have permission. at my community, we found most of the footage from these videos that have been lifted from other videos and emailed the original owners; thus resulting in the videos being chnaged.

http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/43689622.html

lots of info on it there.

some art student or some WIncident wannabe with a camera and some cash and some lifted footage and perhaps some knowledge of pro-tools.
