[highlight]I have permission from Scyze[/highlight] Copy paste from old OP [QUOTE=Scyze;19652054]So, many of you know about Marble Hornets (or, more casually, the Slender Man videos). If you did a bit more research on it, you probably came across the term "ARG", which stands for "Alternate Reality Game". A wikipedia definition: Some of my friends who have more knowhow about Marble Hornets revealed to me that it didn't seem to be an ARG so much as a dramatic speculative video series. However, whether this is true or not, it opened up the world of ARGs to me--I started reading some forums on it, and the stuff sounds [b]AMAZING[/b] and ridiculously fun. Especially reading about unsolved mysteries, cosmic duck's mysterious broadcasts, and other creepy shit just gets me so excited to think about what kind of awesome stuff you can do with an ARG. I was wondering, does anyone on FP participate in/make ARGs? Would anyone be interested in perhaps making an internet-only ARG with me? I'd definitely want it to be more supernatural and creepy, like Marble Hornets. EDIT: For clarification, I'm now updating this with some examples of ARGs. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Zero_%28game%29][b]Year Zero[/b][/url] As a precursor to the release of Nine Inch Nail's album, Year Zero, they worked with 42 Entertainment who created an alternate reality game involving a post apocalyptic future and figuring out who multiple different made up companies and factions were, as well as something called "The Presence" which is reminiscent of Slender Man.

It was used as a promotional game to help sales for Halo. [url=http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/index.php][b]Unfiction Forums[/b][/url] Unfiction is a MAJOR forum for ARGs. There was one thread where they talk about "You know you play too many ARGs if...", but I don't remember where it was, but some of the stuff they said is AMAZING. The amount of mind-bending that goes into it is fascinating.

Wow, I sure wish I could help, but I'm not very skilled in anyof those areas. Would be an awesome thing to do.
I can write in Russian
I could do some audio I guess. Also, your first video is bland and without any depth. Just some white noise to black Cyrillic writing on a white background, needs more creepy.
I can make the website, if you're gonna. I can also act.

[QUOTE=Kyle902;19663889]I will give you a hint. Thats not random static.[/QUOTE] I almost guessed so. Still, it sounds too bland.
when you say audio i assume you don't mean voice acting, am I correct?
Indeed.
