 		BlackAperture
This looks like one, but I have no clue
So, a friend showed me this after he himself found it on a different forum:

http://www.black-aperture.com/

As you can see, this looks like a suspiciously ARG website. However, having never done an ARG before and not having any clues on how to go about breaking into one, I haven't been able to investigate. Some help in figuring out what is going on?

PS: Also, what is the appropiate use for the [Trailhead] thing?

 		i have my doubts, for now.
Domain was registered so long ago, it might have been forgotten about.
Record created on 19-Dec-2011

Also, it is hosted with 5,000 other websites on the same IP address on a service out of Singapore. It looks more like a throw-away project and not anything official or commercial.

That being said, we can still poke around and figure out what they might have been intending. In the HTML source there is little to go on:
meta info: "=././//-/"
page title: "Status - ///"
and the only thing on the page is an image: 857314CYI55.jpg

Means nothing to me. *shrug*

 		sorry to disappoint you but this site is not an ARG and is instead a troll site used to fool people into thinking that HL3/H2 EP3 is coming out. if you look at http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2309488&page=7 the last post says that the site is a troll site. I therefore suggest that this thread be locked.
