 		[Promotion] New possible ARG relating to Doom 3 Storyline
Well Doom 3 is about released and some people managed to get a copy some stores were selling early.

Apparently theres some websites that are ingame and were found before the game was launched that have the hints of an ARG.

First off is www.ua-corp.com which has a countdown that ends tomorrow which might have something to do with the game launch or ARG kickoff.

Also an in-game email lists http://www.martianbuddy.com/ as a website to buy medication if you're a Mars resident. It has a weird code at the bottom for a promotional item. Whois'd the site and it links back to the creators of Doom 3. Possible arg?

Edit by Addlepated - changed subject line for clarity.

 		two things I noticed about the countdown.

1) it ends midnight tonight EST.
2) its connected directly to your computers clock.

I set my clock to a few seconds before midnight, and nothing really happened, the countdown just changed to say "transport arrived". I don't think it has much meaning ARG wise.

 		I'd have to say the countdown is for the shipping of Doom 3. Or as I call it "My computer melting into slag trying to run it."
