The website and video tags describe it as an ARG. So much for TINAG Laughing

Nah, but this looks promising. I'll sign up and see what I can do. May as well get back on the ol' ARG wagon, it's been months since I played one that wasn't Marble Hornets.

Apparently, it's based on a "radio show" masquerading as a web show or something.. there's several episodes that have been released. Here's episode 1:

Seems like this "ARG" is really just advertising for the radio drama it's based on.

I signed up as well. As long as it entertains me I'll be okay with it, even if it's just an advertisement.

Signed up for this. I'm curious, although only mildly so. We'll see if it can entertain me...

Just signed up as well...I've found myself with a sudden load of free time.

I find it odd that on the Intermine Studios website they reference the radio drama as being called "I am the Darkness." I don't see that title anywhere on the YT page. Did I miss something? Or is this a separate project?

Anyway, I'm cool with using the ARG as blatant advertising. It's rudimentary transmedia advertising, and I'm all for supporting DiY/amateur productions like this. Smile

(You know, as long as they're good.)

Oh...and I just noticed, the videos for the drama were uploaded in June of 2010. Were they on hiatus while "Mr. McKinley" sought out funding? He did mention in a YT comment that it was originally going to be an animation (or perhaps a live-action production?) but couldn't afford it. And is there really only one episode available?

Hrmmm this looks to be up my ally. I've just signed up seems we might have something I like here.
(Also Hey Ogawa looks like we're in another one together).

Have there been some significant changes since last night? www.IntermineStudios.com looks completely different and has a Flash interface now. No more countdown as far as I can tell.

Even the first episode of the radioplay is different from how I remember it (though I didn't get a chance to listen to the whole thing). Still nothing about "I am the Darkness" on YT, except for the title of the channel.

Also...couldn't they have gotten an actual eleven-year-old (or at least a girl) to play Eric? Laughing

Edit: Cheers DZombar!! Let's crack another one! Or...one!

Edit2: Here's the profile description on the YT page:

DZombar

I know on the beginning.interminestudios.com now has a cryogenics tab that you need a username and password to access so once the countdown hits maybe usernames and passwords will be handed out?

As for Interminestudios.com I don't notice any big change but I hadn't been paying much attention to it.

The Studio's website hasn't changes much other than the new fancy loading screen. The Laboratory's site is the same as before, still waiting for the countdown to finish and such. I'm guessing we just have to wait it out.
