I got my Bible right here...want me to check through it?

And has any news come up that might link Ethan Haas to 1-18-08. I did find it interesting that Paramount demanded that the Ethan Haas videos be removed from Youtube. But that is the only connection I see.

The only news is that it's specifically not connected to 1-18-08 per the guy producing the movie.

Wiki?

At some point in the next few hours, I'm going to get a wiki up and running to organize the information. I'll post a link when it's up.

Wow. You actually found something new. *wide-eyed* Hurry, yall! Figure it out!

I used the search to make sure this hasnt been posted yet. Not my original idea just something I came across on another website and noticed it had not been discussed here yet. I personally think it is quite a stretch.



"Visit Slusho.com and click the 4th link from the left, takes you to the feedback email address SatoshiSPLATslusho.jp. So, a quick search on this Satoshi person reveals this Wiki info:

Satoshi Tajiri is a Japanese electronic game designer and the creator of Pocket Monsters, better known as Pokémon.

The creator of Pokemon! Tell me this is not happening. Smile

Ok, you probably think I'm crazy now, but I'm reading more about the Pokemon creator, and guess what, he worked at Nintendo, on Pokemon, for 6 years. 6!

"Slusho! You can't drink just SIX."

Now, read the history page on slusho.com. There's reference to "many towns and villages on Honshu". Well, you guessed it, Satoshi was born in Machida which is located on Honshu!

Apparently there's a Digimon (not so much different than Pokemon) character whose design is based on Cthulhu and named after Dagon. The character's English name is "Dragomon."

Most Digimon of all levels reside in the Digital World (sometimes called "DigiWorld" for short), a parallel universe created from data inside the Earth's electronic communication networks. However, Digimon are sometimes capable of traveling to Earth - or as it is called in DigiWorld, the Real World. Courtesy of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ultimate_Digimon_(Part_1)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ultimate_Digimon_(Part_1)#Dragomon - this is the pokemon character designed after Cthulhu, his type is Sea Animal and his level is ultimate (perfect).

I read on another blog that the monster was a sea monster?

Oh, one more Pokemon coincidence, the kids on slusho.com (boy & girl = the two Pokemon kids) are under water. The Pokemon monster Dragomon is a sea animal.

Dragomon is a Sea Animal Digimon. His Japanese name is Dagomon as he was named after Dagon of Lovecraft literature known as the Cthulhu Mythos, and appearance is based on Cthulhu of the mythos." Posted by Chris on /film



Personally I see more of the religious/end of days slant on this. Just a few biblical references...

Obadiah 1:18 "And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it."


Romans 1:18 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;"

Joel 1:18 "How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate."

Daniel 1:18 "Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar."

sector7 isn't a part of this.

Also, there's a good chance nothing else will happen this month. I got kind of a passive feeling from Abrams. There's a good chance that probably one website will be revealed each month. We got till January, and that's still a ways off. I remember metacortechs.com started a little later than this, and that was a pretty involved ARG and it only went till like the end of November. I doubt this ARG if it's called that would be half as involved as some of the big ARGs we've seen before.

But I've got my eyes open. I visit this often for new developments.

The G is visible. I guessed from there. Others have assumed it was "Your Life Has Meaning" as well.

I don't like lots of things, but they still exist.

If the e-mail is bogus, then either Abrams or Knowles lied. I find that extremely highly improbable.

As a terrible video game nerd, I am offended by this statement.

And to make it 100% clear, Ethan Haas is a different ARG for something unrelated to 1-18-08. There is a lot of proof stating this, and 0% evidence pointing 1-18-08.com, or the trailer, to ethanhaaswaswrong.com. Read more about it here

Those definitely match up. Someone should try to contact the guy that made that picture.

And about Ethan Haas, I guess that it is just another Paramount project.

If their team are behind this one too, its fair to say they will use similar techniques.. Has anyone checked for Ipod downloads?

Oh, I highly, highly doubt Abrams would be involved in a Pokemon or Digimon project. Not just because I think those things suck (and I do, they suck, they really suck). But because this looks quite a bit more mature than that.

Also I doubt this is an ingame site. It's actually a real site. I don't recall any ARGs that allow us to purchase art with our credit cards.
