Anyone else noticed the 'flax seed' style graffiti in Half Life 2? They're so similar.

I am not sure whether to start a new thread for this as I am not sure it is actually related to TIMM or if it is for a different ARG (I am not involved in any others at the moment but that's not to say someone wouldn't try to bring me into a current ARG; more likely though it's either TIMM or something new).

A Twitter user named intimation has added a number of people from uF and then started sending mysterious tweets that sound ARG-ish. It seems the user just adds you to get your attention, then un-follows you, as the only users their profile shows them following are "Astro Pic of the Day" and "SETI@home."

The first set of tweets the user sent was line after line of T. S. Eliot's "The Hollow Men," but with multiple misspellings throughout the poem.

After that set of lines, the tweets became much more ARG-ish still:

ok, reading wiki, where is the anime at? maybe it might have clues? there are only a few caps in wiki.

also, why is the fennel holding a pepper? and who is cool dog? is there info not yet posted to wiki about this stuff or have i not found it yet? (which is a good possibility lol)

ok reading this monster of a thread now that i caught up kinda on the wiki. one question though, in the promo film, the kids drawings, cowboy hat, and a homemade aluminum man are thrown out, then they focus on the toy again... why are they showing the childrens drawings and hat from the museum being thrown out and what is important about the toy? they showed us this for some reason right?

Hey guys, Ive been following this game for a few days, I wish I found out about it sooner.

One thing that I noticed that I think has been overlooked.

@ 3:00 in the promo video, Terry is pulled on roller blades by the 3 women, then at 3:06, he lets go, and another man with a bag, also on roller blades, grabs on.

This might have been done to be silly or whatever, but it could also be there to show us what role women play in Milwaukee.

Thats all I can get out of it.

Thoughts?

Also, I think it amazing that something as elaborate and detailed as TIMM exists.

@EnsO~ I think that it's odd that they would throw those out, like they were made for display only. It seemed like they have nothing vested in the kids, maybe they are considered expendable as well? "here's our children's area!" No children, toys in corner, drawings that would make a child psyhc curl their toes... It gives me the heebie jeebies. Maybe those were drawn during the troubles and their aren't any children left.

Someone mentioned earlier in the thread that maybe their life is plant based and they were emulating us... what if all life was? What if something cataclysmic happened and in this reality we are all pod people now, and the "godseeds" that the Milwaukeeans speak of are the humans that are left? So we would all be pod people as well not knowing we were because we emulated being human to the point that we believe we are now? That would explain the family tree thing right?
