Well Batman Arkham Asylum releases August 28th...ish Razz


Just wanted to say, that particular game is already running, the rabbit hole being http://www.arkhamcare.com . Take a look at the ARPG thread. That game is most likely dead, but there is cross-posting right now with the real Arkham Asylum game. Smile

 		I was hoping that the schedule would be up on the PAX website, so we could see what was going on there at the time specified. Might give us a clue as to who/what 51 is. No luck (yet).

And I just got a response to my email!

I sent:

OK, I'll bite. What is 51?

And received:

Well I hope it's not a hard bite. Smile

You jumped right into it sorry my friend. Smile it's truly only important to those involved.

Things are never really important to anyone who doesn't have a vested interest in them.

Right now it's all fun...a new way to engage Wink


Not quite sure what he means by that.

"We are only a few trying to have some fun amongst people who share similar interests...one could say 51 interests. But then that's too cheesy no?"

yeah ok.

at least one thing is for certain...they win with communication! that's a +1 for me. they willingly answer everyone be it cryptic or pointless lol.

Me to What is 51
It is interesting so far, curious to see what you have in store at PAX, and curious to see how far down the rabbit hole this takes me.

What to me
It won't take you too far. We promise. This is actually of interest to you if you're a gamer.

The dice and 51 are just like you. Wink

Me to What
I love games, I play a wide variety of them. Mostly PC, but some console as well. Used to play some board games, but not so much anymore. Always interested to see what is coming out in the world of games, FPS, Strategy, RPG, etc types.

The dice and 51 are like me? How so? I love the mystery so far, wish I could go to PAX to follow up on this, and locate the pin you have shown us. I think I'm going to stick around a bit, and see where this goes.... Smile

 		Still waiting to confirm that I'll be going to PAX. If so, I'll be on the lookout for sure if this is related.

Hmm. I think that might be worth looking into. Any ideas as to what this means? Also, "Do you have change for a 13"? I keep thinking it's a board game or something. Not sure though.

 		What is the significance of 103? I mean I could understand 102 as its divisible by 51.

Nevermind I misread the tweet it says almost 100 so the 102 number is probably what their aiming for.
