Signed up. This is gonna be awesome! Loved the Pre-launch ARG. Gotta say that staring at some some white blank papers for 3+ days was never that exciting. :D

Spread it like wildfire. 8)

We'll reserve this thread for any ARG chatter on our forums. I see that Ashval totally made an announcement about it, which is cool. Supporting community events like this is kinda what we're about.

That and Sexy Parties.

In this case, yes, Ashval is Stewie.

How long before someone starts playing "End of the World as we know it" at their shows?

So has anyone translated the wording that's creepily whispered there?
I can't even make out the language.

Vallikat beat me. I was about to post my translation here... I'll save the space I guess :(

Tú que cambiaste en rocío (you who changed into dew)
las llamas del horno (the flames of the oven)
que había sido calentado (which had been heated)
siete veces más (seven times more)
y protegiste y salvaste (and protected and saved)
a tus tres santos hijos: (your three holy sons/children)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prayer ... y_Children
I can't take credit for this... Joaquin discovered the Song of the Three Holy Children. We're trying to figure out where to go from there. Dig deeper, etc.


The "demonic" voice joins in on the word "diabolicos"... creepy. We thought, maybe someone is being possessed by an evil spirit, using this prayer to overcome (though it does seem to be failing, since as she gets further through it, the demonic-sounding voice only seems to get stronger).

I had a bug where my firefox wouldn't let me submit anything, so I loaded up chrome with the page.... Let me tell you, it is extremely creepy. EXTREMELY CREEPY. With two browsers running the background sounds at the same time. The stuff of nightmares.

And the ballon's gone up - well the call went out to a few in the US.
One of whome recorded it:
http://honccontent.com/tf2/tsw.mp3

Call apparently came from: 13474822012
On the forums, the backtrace apparently goes to:

The Sun Building
280 Broadway
New York, NY 10007

After the Darkest [night?] comes the brightest [star?]
Sounds a bit green lantern to me... :/ I must hagve misheard some of it.

ROFL ... kinda glad I did not put my phone number in ... I would have been an angry bear to get a 1:30am call.

I'm more an angry bear or at least a sad panda that I didn't get it. My first ARG back in 2001 contacted via phone but most times I didn't get the calls, only the voice mails, because I was on dial-up in those days. So I am sad now that I missed it. Hopefully there will be other calls. :)

Joaquin was miffed he didn't get the call. In spite of being woken up at 1:30, from a deep sleep, with a confusing phone call, I'm kind of glad I got called haha. I was able to fall right back asleep.... though the call was kind of creepy.
