[TRAILHEAD?] Scary Pokemon Blue

Hey everyone. I discovered this site because of the series I'm about to post as I didn't know what Alternate Reality Gaming was until this series came along and someone told me that was what these videos were. I'm surprised this isn't on here as this seems to be one of the most popular ARG's around with each episode getting around 100k views... At least, I think it's an ARG, it is all very convincing and honestly still seems real to me because of the person presenting it. Here's the playlist with all the current episodes.

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC1183CAE5283FCF2

Basically, a youtube user by the name of BlameTruth has been doing video game commentary and Let's Plays of games for about 3 years now. He has a large subscriber base, and I've been following him for about one year. Around mid-October, he uploaded a video called "My scary Pokemon Blue story." I won't really spoil anything about it details wise, but he tells a story about an odd, creepy glitch that happened on his Pokemon Blue game when he was a kid. At the end of the first video, his audio recorder stops recording by itself which freaks him out and prevents him from finishing his story. The next video is a Vlog where he explains how a lot of his technology has been acting up since uploading the story on YouTube, and another bizarre thing occurs that I honestly don't see how he could fake with him being the only one around. There's a lot of instances where I don't see how certain things could be faked, but regardless, it is really interesting (my name is a reference to something that happens in the series), and has been developing nicely.

Hm... a user named whitehand and references to a "White hand" in the video? That's interesting...

I guess I'll check this out. If you're the PM, then so far you've got my interest.

It's interesting and I'm following along, but it doesn't actually seem very interactive. More of a story to follow along with and less of an ARG, but still interesting

I forgot to mention, there is a channel that has posted a few video responses to BT's vids. You can find it here:

http://www.youtube.com/user/01A51CD0

There's 3 videos so far. The first one is "R" which just so happens to be 1:18 in length, similar to capture-3 which also has R 1:18 in it. The second one is 5 seconds long and simply says "wounds" in the video. The third one is of Woodrow Wilson announcing the start of WW1. The weird thing is, all of these things tie into future events that happened in BT's videos.

I actually asked BT about this account on Twitter and he claimed his YT had been acting up and probably accepted the responses by itself. He also stated a lot of people have been making related to this for laughs and to not look too far into it, but there are definite connections here.

Also to verify, BT verified by video wasn't actually missing, he was in Wilmington NC, the place his cousin went with his cartridge years ago.

Interesting!

Ok, so the first video entitled "R" contains a code, I don't know what to make out of it right now... Confused

Quote:
0109D8CF
012DD8CF
014DD8CF
014CD8CF
0166D8CF
0195D8CF
0174D8CF


Also his name looks halfways similiar to this "code"

Arrow 01A51CD0

Could it be, that this are Gameshark Codes or anything in that way???


EDIT:

Ok, after a quick Google-search they seem to be Gamesharkcodes!
I will try them later!

http://www.google.de/search?q=0109D8CF+012DD8CF+014DD8CF+014CD8CF+0166D8CF+0195D8CF+0174D8CF&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:de:official&client=firefox-a


EDIT2!:

So the Gamesharkcodes are codes for single Pokemon, only collect the first letters of them (like the White Ditto spelled "DEAD" through transformation), it spells:

"IAMDEAD"

Source:
http://www.supercheats.com/gameboy/pokemonbluecodes.htm


Sorry, but Edit3:

Not only that "IAMDEAD" thing, there are more on this, what I didn't saw or checked out first:
The description says "no longer" and the tags are "now alive"

Arrow "I am dead no longer, now alive!"

This isn't all, also I found out, that the "R 1:18" could stand for this (which fits in the sentence):

Quote:
Revelation 1:18: "I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades."


That's it for now! Very Happy

^Very interesting! It is definitely somehow related then.

He put up a new vid with ANOTHER 1:18 reference. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yibdYlUDOnA
