(Trailhead?) New game? S0cksify

Hey again everybody. Long time no visit. I found this one while crawling through Reddit (I finally stepped into that void of the internet).
Anyways, here's S0cksify ... make of it what you will but videos are coming out thick and fast (and by thick and fast I mean there's 2).

Thoughts?

ok, so the videos DID catch my attention.

Did i find sock face menacing?.. no.. i cant imagine anyone taking a murdering sock face seriously. I myself would find it funny and have the urge to grab it by the face and go in for the cuddle..

However that said they did capture my interest anything that says we found you seems to do this...

I will follow, hopefully we get something more to go on in the next few days, rather than just menacing sock face messages. I seem to remember an arg not long ago with a billy in it, while i dont think its related it cant hurt to have a scout past it again...

until then, hold onto your socks ppl .....

Well I must say I'm interested a bit. Time to test the waters of the args again. Anyway here's the next video, uploaded about 21 hours ago


YouTube: Link

"We'd be down for science."
If this really is an ARG, he's shown to continue it pretty quick. And mrshomer, I laughed pretty hard reading that. Cuddling a murder indeed. Laughing
Let's see how this turns out,

Intrigued

Mrs. H - you are a little twisted Laughing Doesn't look at all cuddly to me Shocked

Does look interesting, does look like the beginning of something, but I'm almost more interested in how they got over 100K views of the initial video. Not from posting on unfiction. Anyone know where they were/how they were promoting this? 178,815 views is no small thing. But I ask because you can get that pretty quickly if you have access to a spammer network. I'm reminded of that pyramid thing that ran last year that looked very interesting at first and then they asked for money to show more but didn't really have anything else to show (from what I hear - I didn't pay). So I'm a little suspicious of anyone who can get that many views that quickly without some kick-ass promotion.

Thoughts?

No idea. I'm hoping that this is an arg, although one of my worries is if they try and have someone comment on it to advance the arg (maybe this billy person) its going to get swarmed by posers. That and the hope that its not fake. haha.

Maybe this was already posted on something awful or similar.

Well this is just weird.

I found it on reddit, it didn't seem to have many views there ... let me see if I can find the original source.

...

Ok, so as I said - I found it on Reddit and the original poster is Phantom Pooper. http://bit.ly/WkvXyD

He's chatting to people in Reddit, and he's been on there for 6 months so ... yeah don't know what to make of the back story.

The link was posted with the title:
"I thought I got a parking ticket... Instead, it was an envelope containing a flash drive with this video on it. (story in comments)"

The only story I could find in the youtube comments (god there are some fools out there) was this:
Story from poster on reddit:
"My friends went snowboarding two weekends ago. I let my buddy borrow my sock monkey cap. My cell went for a swim like 4 days ago and I've been too lazy to get a new one. So my friend made this video and left it on my car as a creative way to get in touch with me. I have some weird fucking friends, man." - Those comments were also in the reddit comments section.

There is no reference to where it came from so reddit looks like the original source. But in saying that, if this is true then it may not be anything? Unless they gave it to this guy to put up as the trailhead?
