I fully agree that in all likelihood TIMM is a promotion for a new Charles Barkley game or a similar game created by Tales Of Games. I'm just reporting the speculation to encourage discussion. All theories are valid until proven otherwise, even ones I disagree with.

According to this thread, the TOG guys don't know anything about this (TOG is dogchode69 there.)

Though he did get a couple of messages on YouTube from "The MTC" that sound OOG in the first message:

wow that game looks insane... i wouldn't even be that disappointed if TIMM was leading to a sequel for this, but it looks like that game studio is pretty low budget and TIMM looks like its for something huge, but who knows

game is freeware, i think im gonna give it a go...

So, a couple of weeks ago I turned the writers on my site to this...then we decided to do our "awards" for the year (arbotrary awards, basically a year in review) and one of my writers gave a mention to this.

then I got a comment from the Milwaukee Tourism Commission.

"If you like M-Rotors — I mean really, REALLY like M-Rotors — then pay attention to the site when the counter reaches zero."

Just thought I'd share that...here's the original article. http://www.epicdefault.com/?p=331#comments

Didn't know which other thread to drop this in, but in case anyone was interested, I managed to find full 'clean' versions of the two songs from the original TIMM video at the composer's (Todd Mazierski) site:

I was thinking about it a bit, and there seems to be a recurring theme in the naming of many characters in this ARG, and that's names connected to the color red. For example;

Chuck Jagoda - Means "strawberry" in Croatian and Serbian, and "berry" in Polish.

Mars Madison - The red planet

Lipps Leroux - French name meaning 'red-haired'. Plus, lips are red.

Mike Russo - Russo is a variant of Russi, an italian surname which means red.

Larose Burton - Rose = red.

I really couldn't say if this was significant at all, but it seems possible. It also makes me think of that red gemstone that Terry Nanny handed Treasure Hunter M at the end of the video.

EDIT - Incidentally, I noticed that towards the end of the video credits, we see a red kanji (japanese character) sign that is 'Aka', the kanji for red, and a red sign that says SPORT, a mostly indecipherable red and black shape above it, and red doorways. This is also the part where "Slow jazz millennium" is mis-subtitled as "Champion Dynasty". I really have to wonder if this all points to something about the significance of the color red.

EDIT #2 - Just a few more things I noticed surrounding the color red, though most are probably less prominent:

- All of the food options in the video, except the vegetarian option, were circled in zig-zags of red ketchup.

- Mike Lewis writes in red ink in the M:ARH photos.

- There is a red lanyard bookmark in the M:ARH pages with the charts, which have been prominent in puzzles.

- According to Jagoda's twitter, Voltaire wears a red suit.

- Mars's Facebook image is red.

- R-RMRR AI 3 .A23 was written in bold red letters.

- 'Rose Main Reading Room', named after a Rose.
