If ya look at when my previous post was, you'll get a feel for if I think this is an ARG or not.

I'm not quite ready to dismiss this as an ARG. Why? We have the whole entire Slusho site and not one clue has been gleaned from it; it appears to be full of unsovled or not-yet-ready clues. That's a lot of programming and work for a product that, from what we know so far, is very marginally related to this movie. I'm not buying that all the weird things on there are because it's supposed to be Japanese; they could have made it look authentic with a lot less work.

When someone gives me a good explanation for "Slusho Zoom!", the oven mitt/cheese/hammer trifecta, the nonsense on the history page, the odd arrangement of full Slusho cups on the bottom, who "Sarah Nettleute" is and why her myspace page is missing, the glowing donut on the guy's back in the trailer (IMO photoshopped in), the cuckoo noise, the demon gargoyle in the girls' hair, SlushoBots, Albert Pike, Henry Kelvin, Augie, what JJ was trying to tell us by wearing the Infocom shirt to Comic-Con and who Teddy Hanssen is and I'll pack up and call it a day. If all of this (and about 200 other oddities I haven't mentioned) is just the producers messing with us - which clearly cost some money to create and that for a film whose budget isn't that enormous to begin with - then they are dumb. And from what I've seen these guys do in the past, they are NOT dumb.

I think there is a strong possibility that something needs to be solved before this game can progress and they are waiting for us to solve it. There are so many loose ends out there, I can't believe that at least one of them will turn up something relevant.

If this isn't progressing because we've missed something, which I personally don't think is the case, the game design needs work.

Actually, I thought the Slusho site was a pre-existing Abrams site that was drafted into service here.

edit: I think I'm wrong about the Slusho site. It was created around the time of the trailer being released.

In any case, other than being done with my Cthulhu theory (but none done with the bloop dammnit), I think its time these gentlemen threw us a freakin' bone here. I'm ready to call a momentary retreat and admit they got us if they'll give us one more damn clue. We only have a little under five monthes to figure this out.
