It sounds like a wide spread destruction.

If you run it through that program and get a picture out of it, then that'll show it's a picture.

Um yeah I'm assuming a lot of the speculative stuff on this page is way OOG and nothing to do w/ the 'game' itself

Senator Nado is a character in The Planet of the Apes.

I sincerely doubt this is helpful, but for lack of anything else, I figured I'd throw it out there.

I'll throw my name into the hat as well!

I did some digging on Jorg Tittel to try and figure out if the PM and the man on the imdb link were the same person. The website for his last movie can be found here http://www.testudo.org.uk (I'm already liking him for the PM with the .uk designation). Since this movie seemed to be his "brainchild" (he wrote, produced, directed, and acted in it) it stands to reason that he would have tried to make it exactly the way he wanted to. So when I took a listen on the music link, the sample song seemed to reflect the same scary almost shrill type of audio on this new site. If anyone's interested, under the Cast & Crew link you can pull up his bio and see a picture of the man himself. He also worked as a Game Designer / Writer on the Minority Report video game (among other games http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,196855/), so I'd bet he could certainly pull something like this off if he wanted to.

Also, some reviews of his play "2+2+2" (http://www.twoplustwoplustwo.com) suggest that he might have a good head for dark subjects such as all of humanity dying off.
Quote:
2+2+2 by Jorg Tittel, who also stars, is clearly inspired by the visions of Orwell and Kafka, set as this is in an American dystopia where uniformity rules and people are ruled by the voice of an inner dictator (the voice of Richard E Grant). It's a satire on contemporary America, its influence across the globe and global corporations.


It borrows motifs at will. The scenario is George Orwell's: man becomes cog in gargantuan capitalist machine. A disembodied voice cajoles him out of bed, dictates the time he has to breakfast, and marshals his energies at work. The plot is reminiscent of 'The Truman Show', in that the wheels start to come oft'Abe's perfectly oiled life when he meets a new waitress in his diner and falls instantly in love with her behind.
Lucy Powell, Time Out London


Anyway, I think I'm really just rambling while waiting for this to start.

Edit: PS, can anyone who's a little more knowledgeable than I figure out an email address where the form is being set when we submit our information? Or does that go straight to some database for the website?

okay i know this is way off. but 9 11 4 add to 24. and the show 24 uses the whole ticking clock thing. that's what it reminded me off at least. seeing as it is an UK site, then i doubt it.

Interestingly, I have just bought UK fashion magazine Dazed & Confused today.
There is an article on The End of the World and it talks of a James Lovelock and a book he has written. It appears it was written in 2006 and is titled: The Revenge of Gaia.
His theory shows the earth at the end of this century, and most of it is desert.
The article then has an interview with Dr. James Martin. There is a link at the end of the article to a www.jamesmartin.com.
Now while I have no doubts that is all OOG it seemed worth a mention, if for no other reason than its an interesting coincidence.
