 		Hmm, I'm bored, and this looks pretty fun. I like the BBC. Lah.

Okay... woah, talk about disjointed thoughts.

Arb! I thought you had disappeared from the ARG world!

I'll ride along with this one and see if it gets interesting, might be a little too girly for me.

 		Yep, playing this. Yeah, bit girly, but meh, seems ok. Finished 'Day 2' about an hour ago.

Crow!! *leaps at Crow* I'm back again, hooray! Been trying to figure out what ARG to do over the summer... Or ARGs, hehe.

I'd have to agree that this looks a bit... meh. Not so crazy about pop music anyway, and I don't care to much about Mr. Kane (yes, I prefer ficticious characters that I care about), but... Eh, what the hell, I figured.

Anyway... hi! I've missed ARGing, but I'm back again. Very Happy We keep missing each other on AIM, I've been wondering if I should start PMing you on here, heh. Anyway. Blah.

 		I'm stuck on Day 3. The link to Greta's blog doesn't work for me, so I can't progress. I'm guessing this is a universal problem.

 		Wow, I'm surprised there isn't more coverage of Jamie Kane over here. Sure, it's not that complex or in-depth but is a fairly good piece of fun. Reminds me a lot of 'Online Caroline'. The recent Wikipedia controversy, well, the BBC have posted an official response -- looks like someone got too involved in the game Smile

 		There is one thing that slightly annoys me about this, and that's the fact that you get a mission a day. I'd prefer random missions throughout the day, maybe 2-3... maybe a bit more difficult... and maybe no bots but hey, we can't all make games hehe.

i'm not entirely sure how the wiki works, but from what i can tell, some people shouldn't be on the internet for sheer stupidity Razz

 		I find it hard to believe that someone was "getting into the spirit of alternative reality a little too much" and believed he was real. I think the wiki was just put by a fan who thought it would add a little more realism to the game.

I agree, Id much prefer to have more things to do each day, as most of the time it only takes ten minutes, and a lot of the things are rather easy.
The other thing that annoys me is that they insist on having the characters use txt language, I cant STAND reading it, its just too darn painful to read! Razz

I also don't like their hair...

 		Just caught this on slashdot. Aparently the Wikipedia people are not thrilled that it was used for this game.
