Hello people. last day i stumbled on this site www.00112358.net
At first it puzzled me but after some digging around i found out its an Alternative Reality Game.
What's your opinion on this relatively new genre? You believe is the future of gaming?

ugh there kinda annoying, and really only a couple of cool ones have come about (for halo, and the dark knight) sadly most srgs are just advertising, really desperate advertising. Though a couple non advertising games have come about, and are wicked cool.

I think they are great!

I wish i got into Nine Inch Nails's "Year Zero" when it was going. It has supposedly not ended but there are not many new developments. I love the interaction and idea of making a game intertwined with real life.

Well, I think they're kind of like abstract art. I know some people like it, but if you ask me, a painting of an apple should look like a FREAKING APPLE.

The only one I ever really got into was The Dark Knight one, but I do enjoy them from time to time. I just don't have the time/patience to see them through to the end.

The only ones I participated in directly were the Halo ones, "I Love Bees" and IRIS. Well, and a bit of "Perplex City" but only because I knew some volunteers helping that one and gave me a short stack of cards gratis. I missed "Last Call Poker", which was apparently a beauty, and "I Support Harvey Dent" for Dark Knight.

I think the medium has a lot of promise, and I'm watching out for it in the future.
