If I ever became a millionaire, I'd do that pointless ARGs all the time.

[Kadzar]

So, do you reckon it's a product promotion?

Actually, no. If 77 Days is anything like Thomas Bender's last ARG, it's just a really elaborate interactive puzzle and narrative that he's telling for fun, employing volunteer actors for on-location meatspace stuff, and who knows how many folks on the internet. Some of the clues so far have linked the LA area as the site for this one too.

EDIT: Here's the "backstory" of the ARG so far, taken from the content of the uploaded PronounciationBook videos arranged chronologically

So what you're saying is, no one has actually created a game about treasure hunters in post-apocalyptic Milwaukee with a strange but endearing retro theme?

I just found the pile of drawings I made last year that I've been looking for for weeks.
Dad had moved them while he was on meds and he forgot where he put them.

Clearly, Toady has been to Peru for the local delicacies.

I don't know why, but this silly thing just made me laugh.

[Mr Space Cat]

SteamOS is a thing.

It is a glorious day indeed.

Even better, there's going to be two more announcements this week. 3 announcements total. 3 announcements.

Half-Life 3 totes confirmed.

[Iceblaster]

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

Or Half-Life 3 is never going to be made so Gabe can keep people paying attention to Valve, therefore getting them possible purchases in the meantime, making them more money in the long run!

So. I do mandatory volunteer work at a museum on campus, and tonight my name was up to work late, because some group had a meeting scheduled from 6:00 to 9:00 in one of our rooms. Which means that I spent three hours basically alone in a barely-lit museum full of musty smells and eerie manikins with detailed faces dressed in old clothing. Thankfully, I had speakers, and my savior could be played. Yea, though I walked through the exhibits of the uncanny valley, I did fear no evil: for DOOM wast with me; thy metal beats and BFG9000 they comfort me.



I spent about ten minutes trying to figure out what the Ye Olde Shakespearean/Biblical English third person impersonal possessive pronoun would be, but I gave it up as a waste of time. It's still bugging me. That "thy" doesn't look right unless you parse it as that last clause shifting from third person discussing DOOM as a more religious man might discuss YHWH to second person addressing DOOM directly, which feels quite awkward. Not that that would be unusual, considering the misquoted source.

Few things are better than a satisfying meal and a hot shower. Not at the same time, of course. Almost makes up for the fact that I have to be up at 4 in the morning

[Putnam]

something is going to happen in one days

[Aklyon]

Whee, ideas. Ones that are actually (with some effort and probably shenanigans) doable at that. Midnight always seems like the most idea-laden of times.

[Aqizzar]

Did I seriously drink a whole bottle of wine tonight?

Yes, I did.

Well okay, I spilled some of it.  But it's white wine so who cares.

[Bauglir]

Ah, yes. My old Thursday ritual. I see you've improved upon it by moving it to a Monday.

[Aqizzar]

Why get drunk on the weekend and waste a perfectly good Sunday being hung over, when I can drink during the week and be hung over on the company's dime?

I am a genius.  I can't believe nobody has ever done this before.

[Vector]

Thinking about buying a Gundam kit or similar.  My weeaboo cred is lacking in this domain.

Also really looking forward to starting to do more reading again.  Now that I'm all moved in and I'm starting to get the hang of work, I can do more fun things in my free time.  I have some religious and philosophical texts I've been meaning to get a move on for a while <3

[Projeck37]

Let's see... it's 12:29 or so, here.. not including today which is Tuesday, I have 11 days until my birthday :3
