I loved the reel of headlines at the bottom of the screen.
And now I'm going to obsess over figuring out just what game those two kids were playing...

Well that was unusual but the behind the scenes was amazing.From the moment Iheard Vi's voice on the phone number from Bar None I knew the person didn't actually look like the pictures (it's a talent).
I was just on eBay looking at Perplex City stuff and guess what came up?
256 items found for perplex city
Would of been cooler if it was 333...So anyone know where I can get the weight of the cube?

Okay thanks to pausing, the game seems to be with Pixel Blocks http://www.firebox.com/index.html?dir=firebox&action=product&pid=1319&src_t=sbk&src_id=pixel or Lego and it's in the PCAG with Bedling leading 7 to 3 against Jorgenten or something like that.

Ask and ye shall receive:

Violet: Hi, I'm Violet. You know how sometimes you go out at night, you find a bar, you have a few drinks, you hear a gunshot and then someone starts screaming, the police turn up and drag you down to the station... Look, just watch this.
(applause)
(with news-like music playing in tha background)
Intro Man: We interrupt this broadcast to bring you breaking news.
Woman: Hello, I'm Alice Markham (?)
Man: And I'm Mike Hathaway. Reports are coming in of a bizarre and brutal murder at a local nightspot. The unidentified woman was killed in what looked like a premeditated and very public attack.
Woman: For the latest we can cross to our reporter Cambria Styles who is at the scene. Cambria, what's the situation?
Cambria: The victim was shot with a banned pre-war weapon in the VIP area of the notorious Missing Piece bar. The injuries sustained by the victim are said to be quite horrific and certainly when I arrived here I saw bystanders covered in what looked like the victim's blood.
Alice: Do we know any more about the victim?
Cambria: The police aren't releasing her identity just yet; indeed they don't seem to have any leads or any suspects. However, sources within the department have told us that high profile names from the city...
Alice: Cambria, I've just been handed some further information and pictures of the... (starts to throw up)
Mike: Er, and that's all we have time for. Keep your eye on your key, we'll be bringing you more updates as we have them. Until then, goodbye.
Violet: So that's how it started. How it ends is up to you. I need your help. Together we're going to track down the killer: care to join me? Look me up.
I'll try to transcribe the scrolly thingy after dinner, just for completeness.

Brilliant, cheers. Have asked mindcandy to subtitle future audio/video feeds, but if it happens is another story.
Whats a catbite?

Yay! Hideous overacting and no link to the cards...
That's one way to do it Mind Candy, heh.
I'll wait and see what happens in April.

Pay attention to the scrolling message across the bottom. There is information about Saunion at Greycastle hospital. His story is given in more detail on the backs of four of the cards (sorry they're at home so I can't stipulate which).
There's two sets that link to this: the story on the backs of the Blue Suits set, and the story of Daniel at hospital and the POV from each of his parents on the backs of the black suits set.

I don't think they'd ever have actual violence persay. If there would be anything 'graphic' I imagine they'd have warnings (Vi saying "This video does have some violence" or having the 13+ requirement). At the same time, in regards to the acting, granted it's not that great, but the hell with that - we have actual video from PCX - we've seen two popular news anchors and a reporter, in addition to a major character. If they are making this much move on changing the level of immersion, imagine what else they're going to pull. I mean, it technically isn't even Season 2 yet. If this is a teaser, what could follow?
Oh, and to all you folks with Keys... use them wisely.

With the Missing Piece bar, when Violet mentions it (here) she says
Violet wrote:
"Wait, how did you even get into the Missing Piece, Kurt? Teri's not really friendly to... well... and wait, don't they have a puzzle lock on the door? How could you possibly open it in that condition?"
The bit that intrigued me was the "Teri's not really friendly to... well..." which made me wander what aspect of Kurt's character she wouldn't be friendly to? And what part of Violet she would? (Which boiled down to 'members of the Academy' and 'men' in my limited imagination. And what's the place notorious for?

I have a key! I have no money but had to buy some cards from Firebox so I could have one! I am *so* determined to get in on the action this time round... seems I am already falling behind in the pre-meta
How do you guys keep up with everything!?
