Knowing Ozy's technical skills, my bet is that he is a victim as much as the rest of us...

Wow, you think the PM's of ILB are also running this on the side as a joke? I mean the wav.s are all direct jokes to the ones on ILB, so either he wipped up this whole story and recorded everything that fast or all of this was pre-done. And for it to have been pre-done you'd havta know the ILB story line.

ok, did someone actually answer phones to "tap the kegs" and open the wav files, or are they just opening up. because if this dude is actually calling phones at those coordinates, i would be amazed... (not that i am not already amazed with the job he's done. this is unreal)

At this point I don't think it's too far-out to consider that possibility.[/quote]

Ok, while I'm hoping you all are joking, I'll be blatantly obvious here and ask all of you to read the beginning of this thread. Actually, let me even save you some time. Read just the post header info (when the post was written) and you'll notice that this site www.ilovebeer.org has been around since the beginning of the game (roundabouts, at least). It's so NOT in game that it hurts, and it is only a [GREAT] humorous parody.'
(It's a fun diversion... you know? Like going outside! Like- oh... um, outside is where there's light that you can't turn on or off, and there's real people who- oh... um... real people are like you. Except they're outside.)
So, it is not done by Bungie, it's not a "strange coincidence" nor is it in game. End of story. Now, with that said. Please enjoy the frothy goodness that is ilovebeer.org and laugh!

I wasnt implying it's in game, I was just implying that it could be possible that the PM's of ILB are also running Ilovebeer as exactly that, a joke..for fun. I'm only spec'ing that cuase of what it would of taken to put those clips on ilovebeer together in that short of time unless you perhaps new exactly what the ILB clips were all along.

the sound files are hilarious!!! all about Dan and Uncle M. and Dan's mom! and instead of the military, its the mafia ("certain people with names like Guido")
i love the direct Halo reference too, that was great... ilovebeer is more interesting right now than ilovebees actually

Did anyone map the coordinates? I know a lot of them are outside the US, but where?

If Ilovebeer.org turns out to be a comedy ARG, we may want to create a forum for it.
If that happens, might I suggest we use the name "The Haunted Brewery" for it?
(Feel free to apply piscines to my face with extreme force if you think this is a bad joke!)

In this particular thread, trout is granted only to those who make GOOD jokes. Sorry, mate. Better luck next time!

Thanks very much to Bill and all the others who created this very very cool parody site
You guys could all have jobs waiting for you as professional voice actors if you ever decided to change careers... (seriously - you sounded great, and the design was pure comedy gold.)
One question for the PMs of ILoveBeer/HauntedBrewery/IchLiebeBier:
Are those recipes personally tested? And how much beer did you consume before you came up with the idea to do this?
(Okay that was two questions. So sue me)
