The Obey Giant thing is old. It was definitely not created as part of Colony, and I would doubt if there were leads there.

asi said in another post, i don't believe that ObeyGiant was CREATED in order to forward ourcolony, however, what if they ppl behind ObeyGiant are behind Ourcolony, in a way to spread ourcolony for microsoft the way they spread those Andre stickers?

Just for anyone who doesnt feel like reading 38 pages heres what we know:

kristenrutherford.com - Out of Game
obeygiant.com - Out of Game
etoys.com - Out of Game
ilovebees.com - Out of Game - Yes it looked exactly like that before
princessyumyum.com - Out of Game

The calendar is the april 2004 - april 2005 white sox calendar, the other basball memorbilia is from the 2003 all star game. There have been some blatent photoshopping on the image including:

The word search
the paperscrap with kristenrutherford.com
the bottle's label
the area behind the flowers
the calendar bottom
possibly the etoys sticker

The computer is a dell optiplex, no exact model number found.

The monitor has some reflections in it that are too blurry to make anything good out of.

The toys on the desk:

Battleship Yamato from Starblazers
An unknown spacefighter
Booberry from the cereal of the same name
The Grinch
An unknown elf (maybe a person)
Voltron
Darth Vader Mug

Toys On the monitor:

Charlie the Tuna from Sunkist tuna
The Salacious Crumb from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
The boxing monkey from some old internet banner ad
Bibendum (aka The Michelin Man)

The wordsearch has alot of words in it, most interesting one being gamefind. It also has the word TEMCO in it. TEMCO is not a game company, TECMO is.

Thats all i can think of for now.

sadly i agree. it's like with more info we get, we get further from what it can be. i'm tired... and i need sleep. i went to the bathroom and took a nap for a lil while yesterday, came back, and realsized that there were now 37 PAGES IN THE POST ABOUT THE CHALLENGE!! there now 38, but i hate how a) we haven't gotten anywhere with all our collective wise minds (i'm serious, not being sarcastic), and b) using Kristen Rutherfords URL KNOWING she'd get flooded with emails and calls. i just think that the ppl running this are perverbial "n00bs" and if that comment cause the gamem8ker to see this and drop my colony a few rungs, I DON'T CARE! ok, done crying, going to bed for a while. hopefully this post doesnt reach 45 pages with no answer before i return....

Maybe the game we have to look for has something to do with the 80's seen how most of the toys are from around that era.

Voltron, Booberry (even though it first appeared in the late 70's), Andre the Giant, Darth Vader Mug, StarBlazers Battleship (which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year),

Anybody been able to clean up the sticky notes between the phone and the computer in the bottom right of the picture? The pink one looks like it has something written on it.

Not sure if the Andre stickers are photoshopped, I think not, but what is weird is that 12 year old stickers are still pristeen, I think they have to be there for some reason surely? Too much of a coincidence for them to pop up in two pics and have that obeygiant thing surely?
