I took it as meaning that he added decorations, not games. Specifically, the picture of him and his dad at the bottom of the second conversation.

Wow, I don't know what I'm more amazed about, that there's a Heroes ARG and I didn't know, or that there may be a Colombian character. Well, too bad we got Maya and her plague, but I'm sure she'll come trough.

I can help with any spanish translations, but I would like to know how many spoilers do this game has to the series. i.e. When exactly did the information about Kensei having powers appeared? After or Before they revealed it on the show?

Anyhow, I'll start with the video:

Quote:

Guy 1: Wait, Is this way... Is it on?
Guy 2 (holding the camera): Yes it is
1: Give it to me, give me the light. You're going to drop it you dumbass.
1: And here we are, eh? Conquerors
2: eh...
1: How do you see it? (that's the literal translation. The expression is kind of rethorical, he's not really expecting an answer) Look at the rifle.
2:No, no, no, Don't touch that
1: Do you want it? I'll give it to you.
2: No, no. Look!
1: Look at their boots. They're the ones from Maltierra(badland, or evilland, but I'm sure that's just the name of some place). The SOBs, they wouldn't let my sister alone. And this is what happens to them.
2: You're crazy
1: For misbehaving... where are you going?
2: I'm leaving
1: We came this way, wait where are you going?
2: I'm leaving (His spanish is terrible, BTW, he must be american)
1: Did you got scared?
2: Look, there's another one
1: His vest.... Help me turn him over
2: I'm not touching him
1: help me
2: I told you I'm not touching him... Look at that. That ain't right.... Don't touch him you idiot!
1: Ok
2: it like poison
1: Look
2: I see him
1: And there's another... and another... Pancho... It's every one of them, all the ones from Maltierra... Someone got them all, this isn't right. Lets get out of here Pancho, someone is going to see us, lets go.
2: I'm coming
1: Hurry up Pancho, watch out
2: Run fast
1: Don't let them see us, this way

Awesome! Thanks.

Some background information on characters has appeared in the online graphic novels (i.e. our twins escaping from the policia). Usually that is opened the same week as the tv episode.

Kensei having a power has been long speculated,

but not revealed until the airing of the show last week.


We have some UK folks in uF who get the shows later than the US audience. It might be hard to spoiler everything from the US shows if they are playing along with the 360 experience with us.

So, it is probably better to just spoiler if it hasn't aired in the US, but afterwards it is so all over the game/experience, spoilers aren't going to work.

My Spec about Kensei (and not from reading anything on any other site, just my own personal thoughts about the character's future).
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Not only does he self heal, he's going to be immortal and he's one of the founders of the company and the one who pulled Hiro's dad off the roof.

Don't know if it matters or not, but after reading the graphic novel from this week, where Peter hears a story about an Irish hero, I sent in a suggestion to the Yamagato Fellowship saying they should add Cuchulainn to their repository. It's probably nothing, but it seemed like something to do. I'll let you know if I hear back.

Shocked

online graphic novel?

Is there some kind of sites guide for this? I'm really really lost here, and in this topic it seems like everyone already know what are they talking about.

Over here they haven't even set a date for the airing of the new season (But they just began rerunning the first one, so I know we are not going to get it for at least 4 months) . However, thanks to the wonders of the internet I've been seeing the episodes the day after they come out in the US. I guess that means I won't have to be afraid of the spoilers.

Here.

They've been putting out one a week since the first episode. So there's over fifty up now. They're pretty short. But you've still got a lot of reading ahead of you.

And for a guide to all the stuff there's this which I think someone may have already linked to.

On the subject of comics, it may be of interest to know:

Wildstorm, a subsidiary of DC Comics will release the first 34 chapters in a hardcover volume on November 7, 2007. Entitled "Volume One", the collection will also include Tim Sale's artwork as seen on the show.

http://www.dccomics.com/graphic_novels/?gn=8389

It looks pretty shiny. Mine is ordered, eh. (Support your local comic book shop, by the way.)

[UPDATE] Corinthian Implosion

Quote:
Hey everyone, I know there are more than a few of you demolition junkies out there. Linderman's Corinthian Hotel & Casino has crumbled, just like his plans. I think we all deserve to share in the satisfaction. They may tear the building down but we see opportunity in the destruction. Some believe the internet was created as a means to communicate in a post-apocalyptic world. Urban legend? All I know is, after the physical walls came crashing down, I could still visit the website. Simple warning system or survival of the fittest? You decide. Witness the destruction here.

In chat 3, Micah says something about lots of rooms to explore at the casino. I checked the Rooms section, and theres a clickable link to a video. But it says video not found, connection error. But maybe there will be something.

new link trail pointing towards hana's fFamily tree.

http://www.corinthianlasvegas.com/archive/geneology_photo5.shtml

The "trail" could have been a series of some sort of puzzle, but instead was handed out directly. ehn. the banter between hana and micah is good story anyway. Micah ends with "more tomorrow. Watch this space.

Blowing up a building was pretty cool. Smile I watched that like a half dozen times.

Hoody hoo!
So, here's where we left off:

http://www.corinthianlasvegas.com/archive/geneology.shtml?item=5

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
There's a note in the Gitelman fFile, which reads "Refer to RD Monastery in Manuscripts.
get it?
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
...by which he means, click on "manuscripts" at right, and search fFor "RD Monastery"


Therein, is a copy of a thing, which translates to:
Quote:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Monastery of the Cross

Our holy sanctuary, Monasterio de la Cruz, is dedicated to protect the human right to survive, a needed right for every blessed child of the world. This document states that Don Rueker, who was left orphan in Germany and found surviving in the forest, has found shelter under our roof. Dr. Rueker is is oficially a son of Sevilla, and of our Monastery of the Cruz, but he was taken to Buenos Aires, Argentina for his safety. Love is eternal, and so is our protection. It hasn't left me.


Rucker, Rooijker ... same diff right?

Cool, eh?

And Micah says, fFrom now on, fFollow the notes. So I guess, watch this space.

More news. It may be coming together, perhaps.

Looking up "SA Diaspora" in the archives gains us ... er ... art. Dig those skies! The suggestion is that someone had a power, and it got much stronger when they arrived in south america. But mostly: wicked cool crayon skies!

I wasn't fFamiliar with the word "Diaspora", so looked it up.

Quote:

1. the scattering of the Jews to countries outside of Palestine after the Babylonian captivity.
4. (lowercase) any group migration or flight from a country or region; dispersion.
5. (lowercase) any group that has been dispersed outside its traditional homeland.



Ahhh, right. So here's some hypothesising then. We are led to believe somebody named Rucker moved fFrom Germany to Argentina (history will remind us, Peron enabled many Nazi exiles to make just such a move). Apparently either Rucker may have been a child, or Rucker may have had a child with him when this happened, using the kid-art as a cue.

Now, bear in mind, this Rucker person is a relative of the Israeli woman Hana Gitelman, and we have just this season met two South Americans with powers. These documents seem to suggest a possible link between the two.

So I suggest two possible theories. Either, Maya and Alejandro are cousins of Hana and Rucker was a Jew escaping Nazi persecution (making M & A something like 1/8 jewish) --OR-- Rucker was a Nazi himself, and was escaping the clutches of the allies, which is less likely in this context I suppose, but interesting.

Micah promises more to come.

But the monestary note suggests he was an "orphan" at the time he was being protected by the nuns. It did not say he was a young man traveling with a child. In Spanish "Don" is used as a sign of respect, like "Mr" but more than just "Senor". So it may not be his first name. He is later referred to as a "Dr". So he is probably an adult.

For the sake of archives, here are the child's drawings. In my files I also have a copy of all of Isaac's paintings from Linderman's gallery.
