Alternate Reality Game for Xbox 2 E3 Unveiling

Gamespot has a heads up about a new possible Alternate reality game celebrating the Xbox 2 E3 unveiling. The game site, Our Colony, has a countdown meter running down until just a few days before Microsoft's pre-E3 unveiling of the Xbox 2 console. From the article: "The countdown will ends at 8pm PDT on Thursday, May 12, nearly four days to the hour before Microsoft's pre-E3 presentation on the evening of May 16. What will happen on May 12 remains unclear."

GameSpot page renders badly in firefox

anyone else have a problem the text overflowing the normal area over advertisements and the background making it hard to read (firefox 1.0.2/win32 Gecko/20050321)

X-Box and PS3 Unveiling Together

I for one can't wait until both the new systems are "revealed" this year at the same event. Be nice to finally put all the speculation and "well my system will do THIS" bickering to rest. Then comes the drooling fanboy bickering, and well, there's still no cure for that.

I Love Ants?

So instead of a beehive, it's an ant colony. Instead of the magic number being 7, the magic number is 8. I love alternate reality games, but this one seems to be taking a few too many clues from ilovebees.com.

shame it wasn't an Alternate Reality game...

I guess I'm the only one who was more interested in the possibility that Philip Price and Gary Gilbertson might be making another game?

anyone know what to type in?

Has anyone got past their 1st screen? what do you type in?

Re:anyone know what to type in?

Unfiction [unfiction.com] has been playing for a bit and have already massed some information.

Something....

Amusingly enough, J Allards user icon in the GDC presentation of the XBox 2 interface is him wearing an ant shirt, it can be seen in the first picture of the GDC picture pack on the XBox site.

Immersion Unlimited

I have forums with player working on the puzzles. Immersion Unlimited [immersionunlimited.com]. They have been working for a while on this an no one had a clue this was really linked to anything other than a "grassroots" Alternate Reality Game.

To Bad There's Aren't More CPUs in Their AR"

Okay the premise is theoretically swarming ants...but they cannot actually support a swarm of would be players.... Probably a better (more unintended) metaphor for the new xbox (and live service) than they intended...too little,too late.

Perfect Dark Zero

Finally, Perfect Dark Zero will be revealed! Now I must start construction of my Joanna Dark costume to be worn when I go out and buy the game + system.

Am I the only one growing tired of a new console being released all the time? Maybe it's great and all, but really, why doesn't someone just build an upgradeable console or something? Everytime they come out, I have to replace the box, the controllers, etc. I'd be a lot more willing to shell out for em if I could swap parts at some point rather than having to spend $250 every 6 months for a "NEW" or "BETTER" system, which is bound to be outdated soon with no possibility of playing old games as well.
