ARG's

Hey everyone! This is kinda back to the whole Lost Experience thing I'm doing but a little broader. If you want a post on video games, then wait till next time.

For those of you that don't know what an ARG is, it stands for an Alternate Reality Game. So i suppose it is kind of related to video games but in a lot different way. Basically what an ARG is, is a web of fake websites, commercials, phone numbers, whatever the creator can think of, that lead up to some kind of ending, whatever the creators have in mind. The most famous one around here has to be the whole ilovebees.com thing that halo 2 did before it was released. The one i'm doing (for those of you that didnt read the posts on Lost Experience) is the lost experience which leads up to information about the TV show lost. Anyway, back to my point, i've been amazed at the level of creativity some of these creators have. The lost experience has tons of fake things floating around, most of which you have seen! even if you've never heard of Lost Experience. Those new sprite commercials with the whole sublymonal tagline thing. That website is a kind of container for lost experience clues. If you don't believe me try typing Persephone into the text box on the main page and then 108. You will get a radio broadcast from DJ Dan, an ingame radio broadcast. To me, these ARG's are like a new kind of video game. Sometimes, they get really intense and they bring games to a whole new dimension. If anyone knows of any cool ARG's that they are doing, plz leave a comment with the main site so i can check it out!

P.S. For anyone still interested in getting into the Lost Experience, check out www.insidetheexperience.com. Its kind of an in-game website (term for a fake site that holds clues) as well as a HUB for players to pass along information.
