USAF probably loves the publicity. They recently opened up social networking site access on DoD computers (probably a big mistake d/t timewasting potential). But they are promoting service-member blogs and other electronic media as a means to show off the world's best Air Force.

Please remember, if it ends in .gov then it's 99.99999% probably OOG.

Word!
Kids, remember, don't bruteforce Air Force. It's mean and will perhaps have consequences.

Oh my... they might send in the men in black to interrogate. Oh yes, that's how serious we are about ARGing. We'll attract the attention of a group that "does not exist"... Confused

First... LOL at uniquelywired.

Second... Konamouse, I know, I'm just looking for ideas. That D Morris name on the PDP11 has led me to a lot of strange sites. All appear to be RW and OOG but there's so much material that I can't help but think that anyone could make a decent movie about it.

I'm going to go on record and state that it'd be 100% OOG.

Even if it was a government run ARG, they would probably not use a ".gov" extension. You have any idea what it takes to get a ".gov" domain? Wink

About a truck, I'm really wondering about intention of the driver.

I suppose, it could be suicidal action, which witnesses the disperation of the driver, who could sacrifice his life for the sake of something.

Or, this person was brain hacked.


I never saw a driver. Maybe the truck was brain hacked.

Maybe it was just a suicidal individual running right into an oncoming train, happens all the time.

Maybe this individual knew what was on that train and decided to let the truth speak for itself.

Maybe we'll never find out....this is JJ after all.

 		Well, there is somebody in the truck, and I tried to follow, whether he jumps out before collision, but I haven't seen such scene. So perhaps he was in, as it happened.

This could be. I think about LOST and destiny and stuff. Not really Spielbergs theme, but rather JJ Abrams'.

Or perhaps the intention was to destroy whatever was on the train...but the mission failed.

 		I ask myself, who screams "Oh my God" before collision.
Camera man is completely out of game, since it is not shaky handicam movie like Cloverfield. Or is it?

perhaps that was just someone in the theatre. It is a leaked teaser after all!!! If it's still there when an HD version comes out then start questioning that!!!!

 		Oh, yes it could be. Perhaps that's it.
Because that exclamation was fully unappropriate for the scene Smile

P.S. I actually wanted to write: "Who on the Earth can be so emotional and moved but a special effects in the trailer", but I've recalled my wife while of screening of "Texas chainsaw massacre" and will better hesitate to doubt such emotional explosions Laughing

 		or it could also be someone who finally realised what they were seeing was really the Super Top Secret Abrams/Spielberg teaser!!!!

This was what I was thinking. I mean movies tend to hide tidbits with appropriate camera cuts all the time, so it could be possible that the driver took a dive out of the truck at the last minute.

ETA: Meh, just rewatched it in slow mo. The truck's driver side door was closed, which wouldn't seem to be the case for a last minute bailout.

 		that still doesnt mean the driver didnt survive the crash...Stranger things have happened in life. People have survived jumping from planes and chutes not deploying so perhaps this driver survived the giant ball of fire!!!!

 		Watching the HQ version I can safely say the guy screaming "Oh My God!" Is the second person on the radio chatter. This would be whoever is running the comm on the train. Working on this transcript that is the easiest thing to hear.

The hardest thing is the damn codenames.
