I can't tell why many of you are mad. This ARG is not over, just PB's part. If you're disappointed it's your own fault for thinking too much into PB's role.

looks like Horse_ebooks and PB do end here. Regardless, it also looks like they were part of a whole project that's still going on.[/QUOTE]
Oh my God, oh my God, seriously? I'm glad I gave up on this like, 44 days ago and stopped caring a bit, I just came back here to see the spectrograph etc. Lame as fuck.
[QUOTE=LarparNar;42292827]So the phone number on the twitter:[/QUOTE]
Says "I quickly got myself out of debt" for me before hanging up.
[editline]skype is cool[/editline]
Called again, "I get water from out of your watch".
So, is Bear Stearns Bravo continuing this and PB and horse e_books, who was apparently involved this whole time, are ending?

Just trying to make some sense in my mind :v:

Seems likely.
I find it hard to believe they would keep this stuff up for years only to launch some lame-ass Bear Stearns Bravo thing that costs $7 to sign up for.
But who knows?
Called a third time, got "How often to note the ghost" or something like that. Officially creeped out.
I really hope this fmv web series isn't what this thing was leading up to and just another needlessly convoluted part of the chain to that revelation they were working on for years
If the big surprise really is supposed to be an fmv game (for the 3do) then that's the worst way this could've ended

The reason i'm disappointed is not because it's an ARG. Its because it didn't live up for the expectations that THEY built for us. They made the countdown creepy, mysterious and intriguing but the actual game is the complete opposite of that. Its really disappointing! They'll make you pay in order to play the next level? Why would someone even bother to do that? They could've continued it like it was on the channel, with even more mystery! I would've continued to play! But this is just...
the fact horse_ebooks was an infiltrating sleeper cell is just amazing
I'm glad that thus far they really did pull a surprise out of left field, though I wish the reveal was more convoluted and made us find it for ourselves

Maybe there's something there?
fyi, according to the new yorker that's the last tweet and video ebooks and pronunciationmanual will ever make
This is two parts surprising and clever and one part disappointing
rip horse ebooks
Maybe this is only the beginning.

(if not this would be a super buzzkill.)
now gotta hope someone on FP is in NYC near that place.
Fuck anyone who's disappointed by this, I'm hyped as fuck to see the conclusion. Dalton, eh? [I]Jackie[/I] Dalton, maybe? Is the girl Nicole? WHAT'S HAPPENING?!
It's very obviously a continuation of the ARG. I'm all for it. And Horse_ebooks being a PART OF IT?! Jesus christ... I was NOT prepared for that, I've been following it for like a YEAR laughing at it's sillyness - and it was in on it the whole time?!
All glory to Thomas Bender, savior of the ARGs. This is just amazing. I love it. I love every second of it.
That girl was cute as button though.

How about actually playing the interactive video on their site? Might find out a lot by doing that.

I'm personally only disappointed in the video they put up on that website, I'm more intrigued on why they changed to this different style though

The entire thing seems to be set in 2007, according to Jackie Dalton.
On a slightly unrelated note though, I ended up buying the tracks from that website and the music is a cool calm ambiance and kinda groovy, theyre pretty cool actually. 18 tracks on an album of sorts called Empire Sunrise

Upload a sample and you'd be a champ.
This is so cheesy, it feels like something Adult Swim would produce.
My mind is pretty blown by this though. Most of the stuff was hidden in plain sight.
[QUOTE=NinjaTomate;42293008]What website? Where can I get the music?[/QUOTE]
On the Bears Stearns Bravo site after paying the 7 dollars for access, it's another 5 for the album which actually sounds really good so far. So I'm not too fussed about spending the money.
