Someone Sent Us a Mysterious Package

[Undeadpope]

This better have actually meaning.

I hate the "puzzles" that mark something,but are totally unrelated to what it is about or some totally ilogical where you would actually have more a chance of picking what it is if you guessed totally at random.

Gah.

Edit. When you convert Today(the 9th,one of the days of the second week of apirl and convert it to The juilain calender,you get the 27th of march,which(wiki quote) "1964 ? The Good Friday Earthquake, the most powerful earthquake in U.S. history at a magnitude of 9.2 strikes South Central Alaska, killing 125 people and inflicting massive damage to the city of Anchorage."

What? No Rick Roll MP3?

To whomever sent this package.....you NEED to Rick Roll the Escapist any chance you get......even better if you address it to Ben. LOL!!!!!!!!!!

That's been done already.

It's most likely a viral campaign for Singularity.

Fallout.

Or another Bethesda published game. They are doing a lot of publishing lately...

Bethesda said this has noting to do with them and my friend met FourZeroTwo and he said IW was doing stuff soon so its probaly MW2 doing something

It has got to be Singularity. The game's backstory takes place at the height of the Cold War, and involves this "secret project" being conducted at the time, with lots of scientific stuff. Check out this viral site: http://www.gknova6.com/.
The people behind Call of Duty wouldn't go that far.

I hope its not,mainly because[mid-sentence disclaimer:this opinion is based on the trailer and asumtions and should not exceed your daily recommended amount of grains of salt] it looks looks like another game that takes what has been popular in other games and mixs them together,not always a bad thing but I have an also compulsion to find a new feeling game every 3 months,and these just don't do it for(most of the time).

Also,I hope we are all wrong so far and frankly if it is Singularity,New Vegas or something Call of duty related,I will be disappointed.

But if it is new Vegas,I still think it has something to do with the Juilain calender...

Still, it all seems to point towards Singularity.

As joystiq pointed out their package seems to be sent from southern maryland and when coupled with the nuclear weapons and the look of the TV i am thinking it has to be fallout.

I know.

Repeat comedy NEVER gets old. LOL!!!

Fiddled with the TV thing a bit, if you click on the first glowing dot, it'll turn green, you can then fiddle with that channle changer thing, and if you put it in the right spot, and change it everytime the channel goes out, you can essentialy watch what looks like a short film on the science of the Atom Bomb....


My god though, that site's fucking EERIE!

 

[300lb. Samoan]

I love how creative game marketing has become! Even if we have all the decoding done for us, the mystery and intrigue are fantastic!

 

[Wilham]

Come on people its much closer than that,

APRIL TWO WEEKS = 4/14

That was to much trouble to go through to leave you a vague date. In general the sender would have to know the exact delivery day and how long it would take to decrypt. April is the 4th month and 2 weeks are 14 days. Whatever it is is Wednesday!

You need look no further than our obsession with Professor Layton to know that we here at The Escapist love a good puzzle, so we were delightfully intrigued by the parcel with no return address that showed up this morning. It wasn't ticking, so clearly it hadn't come from one of you. We figured it was therefore safe to open and discovered that it contained a single item: a USB drive with a text file and an MP3.

If it were from one of us it might have been a pony. But I suppose we'll just have to keep all the poines for ourselves now, won't we?

Preeeeeetty sure a pony wouldn't have come in a package this small. Neither would cookies.

Not that you've sent me any, mind.

I tried really hard to talk some members into sending you ponies with no return addresses and strange notes attached. I got lots of positive response to the idea, but no takers.

 

[Georgie_Leech]

When was this package actually recieved? I can't help but wonder if it's just a elaborate april fools joke.

 

[Crudler]

Could have sworn I saw a cake in the static. Must just have been me.

 

[DudeMan1031]

Man, 2010 is looking to be the year of the ARG.

GamesRadar just got this [http://www.gamesradar.com/pc/pc/news/help-us-guess-the-game-on-the-mystery-memory-stick/a-20100408105837468011/g-2006032219817514003#comment_content]. You all got a LOT further than them.

I helped 'em out by linking here.

Wow, they didn't get ANYWHERE. I used to go to that sight, before I realised they where all idiots and would never stop beating dead horses, oh, and because I signed up for their website when I was 5 and I have the most retarded name ever and I can't change it.

 

[Pigeon_Grenade]

You people get all the interesting mail

We'll they've only been around for a few years.

AND I LOVE THEM!

[longbowgr]

has anyone tried to reverse engineer the flash in that page?

 

[Svenparty]

I hope it's not just for some shooting game I won't have any interest in.


Looks like the site will have 5 stages with buttons becoming more clickable something about Kennedy and the Atom bomb so far....Though this could be figured out in the first shown clip.
