[TRAILHEAD] Geist http://www.enter-geist.com I just got an email with the website http://www.enter-geist.com/ and the date Jan 07.
There's music and binary on the home page and a signup page as well. Have at it.
Ok...the binary decodes to

It looks like a space is missing between "truth" and "eva". Not sure if this intentional.
EDIT: re-tagged. yanka.

I took a second to check out the Licorice Films website, just to make sure this is legit since I'm wary of giving my e-mail to just anyone (beware, those with slow connections, as I have a cable modem and it froze MY browser!), and they seem pretty cool-- the news on the main page mention both the Arctic Monkeys AND Goldfrapp, so if they're as good at ARGs as they are at namedropping, hopefully we'll be in for a wild ride.
I've signed up with my cell number, hopefully come January something nifty will happen... I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Wow, this looks really neat! I'm not so sure about going out and announcing that it's an ARG (then again, I'm a newb, so what do I know?), but I guess it makes people more comfortable giving out their personal information.
I'm considering signing up, but if I do I want to give my phone number (which I'm not sure about right now).

I signed up yesturday. I'm wondering if that message has more to it....Can't wait. I have a relatively relaxing time during January and university so it sounds fun and entertaining. Licorice films looks pretty cool too so I'm happy I caught this before it began.

I typically try to follow one game at a time, but this looks hot enough to warrant doubling up.

[META] Hazel Grian (Licorice Film) http://www.dshed.net/studio/projects/diffraction/journal/hazel/
Contains information regarding the production of a forthcoming game (My guess is Geist) as well as some hints as to promotion of the game.

A few ARGs have had meta-sites, that announce that certain sites are definitely in the ARG.

Hello guys,
has been a long time, since I visited these forums last time (busy, busy, busy). This now seems a nice one to catch up with.
I just signed in.

Yeah, I hope us in the UK can get the prizes in this game (if any), unlike THP *sigh*
