Lulz, are you guys kidding?

Meathead made the video, check him out, hes a legend in NIN circles. Go to the nine inch nails hotline, and view his page. Hes awesome, very funny.

Trent's just showing his sense of humour, more and more these days.

Oh and the Year Zero arg is over and done with.

I believe 42 entertainment only do this when they no longer have any participation with the arg.

Hi cissmiace,

we know that the year zero ARG is over but some of us are hoping that there might be something that's going to happen before the release of this year's record.

maybe a Year One ARG/ARE....

we're just trying to have fun and let trent and 42 know that it was great and we want more.

so we can hope and dig i suppose, right?
Very Happy

re:[trailhead?] nin: no trailhead?

i agree with nothinglost. this thread is purely speculation at this time.

we all know year zero arg is over. we know the meathead youtube was a parody.

but that does not exclude the possibility of another arg at any point in time. the discussion here is currently speculating the plausibility of another one and so that others would be aware of it if it does happen.

and, whether it happens or not, we have yet to see.

while we're on the topic of 42 entertainment and nin, thought i'd mention this recent post by trent:


Vote for Year Zero!​
May 1, 2008 1:08 PM

Our friends at 42 Entertainment, who helped us bring the Year Zero Experience to life last year, are nominated for a Webby award for their work on the project, and today is the final day of voting.

If you can, please take a second to register at The People's Choice Webby website and vote for Year Zero. Once you enter your activation code, select the "Year Zero" campaign from the "Select a Nominee" drop-down menu on the top-right. 42 is nominated for two categories, so you can vote for both the "Year Zero: Interactive Campaigns" and the "Year Zero: Branded Content" categories.

Thanks for your help!

I don't think the single release has anything ARG related embedded in it but unfiction would be the right place for all your rampant speculation(don't try posting this discussion at ETS, or if you do have fun in the shitlist).

But let me remind everyone that there is still A YearZero forum in the archives you can post in. Posting there makes it easier for people who don't pay close attention to these boards and are interested in this (me) to see what's going on, as well as makes it easier to find later if needed.

re: [trailhead?] nin: no trailhead?

yes, fair warning indeed about posting any of this over there. again, nothing is substantiated.

speaking of which, there's another free song released for your enjoyment. it was discovered at a facebook app. all the info about it and album artwork can be found over there @ ets:

http://www.echoingthesound.org/phpbbx/viewtopic.php?t=35158&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

since it's also possible that no arg may happen, i am reluctant to post this at the year zero archive at this time. it's with respect to the year zero information and trying not to digress or diverge away from its scope. i hope you understand. Smile

the song lyrics and title:

ECHOPLEX

nice and high and far apart
just like they said
i built this place with broken parts
just like they said
you chip away the old version of you
you'd be surprised at what you can do
i'm safe in here
irrelevant
just like they said

my voice just echoes off these walls

you feel me breathe
i am watching you
i see it all
the many ways you can't get to me
i see it all
i see the hell you put yourself through
oh the things i could do (if i wanted to)

my voice just echoes off these walls
my voice just echoes off these walls
i don't need anything at all
my voice just echoes off these walls

and i just slowly fade away

you will never ever get to me in here

See, I have you all to blame for my sudden addiction to Nine Inch Nails Razz I was perfectly happy playing their songs on Rock Band every now and then, but Nooooooooo... You guys had to show me they had really good music Razz

On a slightly more serious note: Something is downright SCREAMING at me that, if this does end up as an ARG, we'll need to get together all the funny artwork on these singles and connect that red line, jigsaw-puzzle-style.

Or maybe I'm just tired and not thinking right. Either way...

Since Year Zero I have come to appreciate NIN more and more, so I would definitely jump in on any "game" that may come from this. Either way, I'm buying this album, even if I do get to download all of their music through their site, just to show my growing appreciation for the art that they are putting forward.

K, sure, but this isn't a thread about Y0, it's about the new single and the expected Y0 followup.

EDIT: Misinterpreted the post I quoted, but for the most part what I said still holds true.

Does anyone else think that the "false start" of the vocals means anything?

it just seems a little suspect.

OMG

The artwork does indeed look like it could be put together like a puzzle.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
And the artwork for "Letting You" is the AIR flag!! *squee*


Edit: Just a theory, I guess I'll spoilerize it?
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Ok so I was thinking that the red line is like a path, to be followed through the artwork and we could put it together like a puzzle (I'm at work now, unfortunately!). But I noticed that there are two "pools" of the red ink, one is "Demon Seed" where it's all red, and the other one is "Letting You" with the AIR flag. So maybe this is pre-YZ and the demon seed is where stuff in our world starts to go wrong, and everything ends up at YZ with the AIR flag? Ok, random speculation, but I'm at work and listening to The Slip and I can't do things like try to figure this out til tonight!!!


Edit # 2 (Yeah I'm a bit obsessive)
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Just noticed that the genre on all the songs says "253"

Ok, I'll go back to actually working now, I swear.

How long did it take y'all to receive your download links? I entered my e-mail in the form at the Slip web site a good couple hours ago now.

Jenni, none of that really had to be spoilered it's when you figure out what it all means(if anything) that you should use the spoiler tags.
Nice spec though curious to see what you come up with from this.

I don't know if this is intentional or not but with the way the AIR flag is oriented in the pdf I just realized it kind of resembles a fist.

I still can't bring myself to really believe that this is anything CF related but at the same time I can't shake the feeling that there are puzzley elements here.
In addition to what jenni mentioned there is some distorted vocals at the end of "999,999" that ,TMK ,nobody has made out yet

I didn't get the dl link for a couple of hours, after a couple of minutes I got impatient and just dl'ed it off a torrent site.
For those that got the torrent of nin.com, what tracker did they use?

I can put all the images into puzzle form.

EDIT: None of the threads seem to align with each other perfectly. I think the message that they all connect is still there, but I dunno if they all connect with eachother. They could all stem from the one center, but then there would be stems off into nowhere. I'll play around with it more, but if this were a math test I'd fill in the "Not Enough Info" bubble. I wouldn't mind being wrong though...
