Orion StarkGUEST
They've done a lot to set this up.
Orion StarkGUEST
With the ARG, they released a lot of teases.
Orion StarkGUEST
It's definitely a darker atmosphere.
Orion StarkGUEST
I believe for Prima Donna, how many runs did you do in the first week?
10 MINS LATER
SaxHOST
happening, dude? They've done a lot to
Orion StarkGUEST
set this up.
Orion StarkGUEST
You know, with the ARG, I mean, they released a lot of teases.
Orion StarkGUEST
It's definitely a darker atmosphere.
Deborah Ann WollGUEST
I'm working three jobs, and moving, and I've, you know, got my kid, and all the, the dogs, and all this stuff, so I have not been able to put the same kind of creative, um, energy towards this that I, I would want to.
Deborah Ann WollGUEST
And so he has just taken it and run with it, and just created an entire ARG, uh, uh, that you can play, um, along.
Deborah Ann WollGUEST
Whether you back us or not, [laughs] you can play this game.
Deborah Ann WollGUEST
You can get to the mystery at the end.
DanHOST
... and not start all the time.
DanHOST
I think Arg could be the captain, see while he's such a heavy off the pitch, maybe having a bit of rest on the pitch [laughs] is, uh, is a bit welcome for him.
DanHOST
So yeah, that's, that's...
DanHOST
That would be my...
AndreaHOST
And they're like, there's an outbreak and you're our only hope.
AndreaHOST
Which I love in ARG.
AndreaHOST
I love immersive shit.
AndreaHOST
When I was in LA, I got... gently into the scene so you go in and then you solve puzzles and they're puzzles like in the game where it'll be like here's an environmental puzzle find the keys the keys are clearly within four inches of wherever you're standing it feels like a video game it's so cool
TomHOST
No, it was really cool.
TomHOST
Like, the whole...
TomHOST
ARG aspect to it.
TomHOST
You're supposed to be the citizen of raccoon city and you're going like trying to escape.
Jake DownHOST
I wish I could find that thing where he said something about it being playable.
Jake DownHOST
Because there's also a ton of ARG stuff that they've put out on this game.
Jake DownHOST
There's a whole website.
Jake DownHOST
Oh, that's
Jake DownHOST
Complete quests to unlock new layers of the world.
Jake DownHOST
Build reputation with factions that remember or accumulate credits.
Jake DownHOST
So I think this is where you have to do the ARG shit.
CaseyHOST
Ah, okay.
speaker_3UNKNOWN
Expectations can be tricky.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
Yeah, and those flyers in the video pointing to Celtic Park, it's like an ARG for fans.
speaker_3UNKNOWN
An alternate reality game.
speaker_3UNKNOWN
It makes me wonder how much of this is planned versus organic fan speculation.
Jess LevineHOST
In the process, the publisher reveals that the axe attacker was Kane's agent and that there are news reports of other random acts of violence by readers of Kane's recently released Hobbs and Horror.
Jess LevineHOST
Trent, meanwhile, solves a shockingly obvious ARG on the covers of Kane's books, revealing a map of New Hampshire with a specific location marked that doesn't appear on any contemporary map, presumably the location of the fictional town of Hobbs End.
Jess LevineHOST
Trent suspects that everything from the attacks to Kane's disappearance is a publicity stunt by the publisher, but agrees to travel to the marked location accompanied by Kane's editor Linda Stiles, played by Julie Carman, mainly because Kane wants to disprove the story.
Jess LevineHOST
On the drive, Stiles experiences surreal phenomena, impossible cyclists, vanishing roads, a time skip that fast forwards their car to the edge of an apparently empty town with a sign reading Hobbes End.
9 MINS LATER
SedaHOST
I
Kendrick SmithGUEST
paused it and I paused it, rewind and rewound it like several times to be like, am I missing something? Okay, listeners.
Jess LevineHOST
So this ARG, which we are going to go into detail on because we're on This Should Be a Game, and it's literally, it's in there.
Jess LevineHOST
It's in there.
Bo SchwartzHOST
Glitches aren't normal web space errors.
Bo SchwartzHOST
Yeah, but I mean, from an ARG perspective, what is it hinting at? That StarCraft
Scott JohnsonHOST
III will be announced in a week and a half.
Bo SchwartzHOST
You know how it's like a nothing burger? It's just like, okay, the website is glitching.
Ross PaytonHOST
Yeah, that kind of thing.
BridgetHOST
Wouldn't you know it, there is an edged ARG within Fantasy Ultra Craft known as the Pandemonium Dragon.
BridgetHOST
Nobody knows where it is or what it is, but it is apparently a big deal.
BridgetHOST
So I am 100% on board with this character
BridgetHOST
Okay.
BridgetHOST
What is it you are trying to prevent or remedy, or what is it you are looking for?
Ross PaytonHOST
And for me, I guess it would be like finding the panda, at least the trailhead of the pandemonium dragon ARG, like finding out if it's real or not.
Ross PaytonHOST
Yeah.
Rand al Thor 19HOST
i saw there's some teasing going on on the starcraft website what's what's going on with that there's some i i clicked on it and like there's glitches there's what's what's happening what's going on
Jez CordenHOST
They've kicked off some sort of ARG.
Rand al Thor 19HOST
Ooh.
Jez CordenHOST
ARG is sort of...
Jez CordenHOST
They kind of did one for Halo 5, right? Yeah, We Love Beasts, I
Rand al Thor 19HOST
think it was.
Rand al Thor 19HOST
Or maybe that was for Halo 3.
Rand al Thor 19HOST
But yeah, I mean, Bungie used to love their ARGs for stuff.
