What would you like to see an ARG based on???

I was watching Dexter the other day and thought it could be made into an ARG. Any TV show, computer game or brand you guys would want to be turned into an ARG??

I actually started watching Dexter because of a cool viral advertisement they created. Article on advertisement here.

A few weeks ago, I'd say a Firefly ARG, hands down. But now, I think it would be cool to see Harajuku Fun Madness from Cory Doctorow's "Little Brother" come to life.

Something in me has been going through a very nostalgic phase lately, so, I will list my top 3, in no particular order:

Firefly

X-Files

Vampire: the Masquerade

In no particular order...

1) Something loosely based on all of the crazy stuff Ushio Higuchi (Creator of Sasuke, or Ninja Warrior for all us Americans) does. I mean, everyone here can by now solve a cipher puzzle for a clue. But how many of you can climb up the face of a cliff to receive a dead drop? Razz

2) Mythbusters. Don't know how it would work, but... Mythbusters.

3) Something about Cloverfield would be cool, too.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I'm joking about that last one, if you haven't caught it Razz

I'm trying to convince a well known online webcomic that an ARG would be a really neat idea.

Order of the Stick, Nighthawk?

I would like to see a Doctor Who ARG!

Pushing Daisies. (Don't think it would work very well but it's worth a try.)

Little Miss Sunshine ARG! *Is joking about this one*

An ARG about the perils one flavour faces after his ice cream colleagues decide to make it a cozy "30" flavours! Oh no, run away bubblegum!

No, I'm not sure how that would be made in to an ARG anyway, at least without getting sued by Wizards of the Coast. Laughing

There are... others. Twisted Evil

I might be evil, but even I draw the line somewhere...

I'd love to see a Death Note ARG, or a .hack ARG. (I know that there was already a .hack ARG; it was just way before my time.)

You know, an OOTS ARG would be quite neat. You could probably find a way to work some D&D sessions into the gameplay.

Hmm... D&D + ARG


Oh, and I'd love to have an ARG based on Starcraft.

Starcraft would be amazing.

I would really enjoy my own ARG to become an ARG, lol. That would probably trump most suggestions anyone can come up with Razz

I would also like to add that an ARG based on The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice as well as one on Daniel Quinn's Ishmael or Story of B books would pretty much knock my socks off

***EDIT**
also, Power Rangers (old-school power rangers, back in the day of the Green Ranger, or first appearance of White Ranger at the latest)
and Pulp Fiction. Even better would be a combination of both "Is there a sign that says 'Dead-Ranger-Storage' above my garage?!"

Scott Westerfeld's

Uglies/Pretties/Specials/Extras books.

I think I may ask him about doing one, actually.

*To the internet!*
