Cool! Wroh 1280. What is actually 1280 - frequencies? Perhaps we even can catch the wave?

"...collect all three!" might be referring to a 3-part "Rocket Poppeteers" comic-book series coming later this winter. That would be cool and what I'm personally hoping for!
I was originally thinking maybe a 3-part animated webisode, but not if it is something we can actually physically collect. Smile

@Adm_BlackCat
Oh yes, it is pretty possible! They did comics before Fringe started, specially for Fringe, and they also did Comics to Star Trek. And, of course, they did Manga for Cloverfield Wink. So it would be pretty nice if they did it this winter.

Knock-off, or legit?

Here's my take on the poster:

Other than the obvious change in the RP logo (and why?) Coop's suit is missing a star and the helmet is missing the dark band.

And, from what we've seen on legit sites is the copyright notice--didn't notice anything like that on the poster.

Maybe I'm just being picky and sceptical, but I'm surprised that there haven't been pirated knock-offs of the S8 & RP items yet. Perhaps this is the first, perhaps it's genuine.

There were numerous Sci-Fi radio programs in the fifties, but RP wasn't one of them, and you would have thought that in the old newspaper coupon there would have been a reference to the radio show (albeit fictional).

Just not convinced this is the real deal yet--and the anime/manga looking monkey was really a downer IMHO. Confused

Hehe, yes, manga worked only with Cloverfield, since it was Japanese theme (Tagruato etc.). Rocket Poppeteers is US-culture oriented.

But this copyright note is interesting. Either it's very well made piracy, or our PMs are entering new level of virality - meta-free. Well, they did it already in the case of LOST ARG (The Lost Experience), where Rachel Blake, a character of the game, entered in ComicCon our world and accused the LOST team in crime, they weren't conscious about their employer, who were evil Hanso Foundation.

UPDATE. They have little " tm "-sign in the "Rocket Poppeteer" writing.

Kosmopol;

When you say "They have little " tm "-sign in the "Rocket Poppeteer" writing" are you referring to this latest poster from NY?

If so, I just can't see it--your eyes are better than mine.

UPDATE: Saw a more clear photot of the poster and can see the "TM" by the ! But why TM instead of "copyright?"

Maybe collect all three is just a series of 3 different posters like this one to collect?

Xeno:

Perhaps they took "tm" since it can be useful in both levels: in fictious level, as trademark by Rocket Poppeteers, and in meta-level as trademark by bad Robot (or PM agency). Copyright would perhaps just point out "Paramounts". Because I can remember, they registered Slusho as trademark, and it was pretty nice reading Smile

Melodyman:

yes, I think you are right, since there will be 3 versions. Perhaps one from NYCC, another from another convention. Are there some another events like ComicCon next months?

Ok, we can officaly say this is part of the game now, its been mentioned in the flyer and the filming area. Now, how are we going to listen to it if its not in our area? Simple, broadcast it over the computer. Could this be the mysterous device we have been looking for? A radio. Now the device is not open yet at this time, but is it possible that we can get a feed from the STITES? It did after all already have news on both rocket poppeteers and Josh's communications...A radio station would be a great way to communicate back in the day!

Thanks SirTimesNewRoman and welcome!

I agree with Adm_BlackCat, I think the Limited Edition 3-Part Series is going to be a comic because of the phrase "Collect All 3" along with the comic like makeover. Not sure where you would purchase it? Perhaps it could be some swag for us pre-registrants? I sure hope so.

I agree that he females name says Cassie.

The term FREE means that the Red Cosmo is "On the loose".

@picknick14, Yes my friend, yes she does! Shocked

OK, now I have a question to everybody:
* we have a calendar with time schedule.
* we have STIES-Website with digital calendar and clock.

Has anybody tried to be at this time on STIES and to click, say, chat button or so? Perhaps we are missing this thing all the time?

Today, 17th October, it were

Quote:
8:18 AM - 9:02 AM
and
8:39 PM - 9:27 PM


This is for me the only possibility for calendar to be useful - since it doesn't define time zone. But perhaps we don't need time zone, since the time is from STIES?

That is a great idea. I think something like that was mentioned a while back but that was before we had the chat icon.

Chat Icon
Nothing

The time on STIES is based on your individual computer time, i just checked and tried to click the chat icon but nothing is happening...Great theory though

Aww, you right, I even noticed it too... The time is not server based... I'll try it anyway at the right time, perhaps they built in this function with chat? (I don't give up, lol)
