[v3nom]

I saw the UVA site before and it totally stumps me because as far as I know, UVA is a real university :woot:

[JiveMasterT]

[JiveMasterT]

just got this one on the links page....

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY

Getting muddled here. Sick, obviously.

Broken inside. Not thinking straight.

Got to go back to first principles.

Survive evade reveal escape.

Survive-well, I'm not dead yet.

Evade-don't want to evade. I want to be FOUND.

...unless...

...of course, if I am behind enemy lines, then constantly shouting for help wouldn't be the smartest play in the

world, would it?

got to run silent. got to run deep.

hide and go seek

[stanley porkchop]

Well... the August issue of OXM was revealed today, day 0.

It'll be in the hands of subscribers in 14 days, or so it's scheduled to be.

Seems to fit, eh?

It's a preview issue, so it'll have a few new screens and some more info on Halo 2.

Oh, and remember the Ninja Gaiden demo that was released with OXM a month before the game? Well... August isn't too far away from November. Get it?

[bakerster]

...

i'm ****ing scared.

[CbbLe]

if u highlight the whole page it says:

"aesthetic by aunt margaret " at the bottom to the left...

[Alpha2004]

yeap, it keeps changing.

[Remysaus]

new message:

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY

black beach, nothing but sand and darkness. Sometimes, in the distance, dry lightning: in the flash I see pieces of the wreck around me, the spars and rigging of my brain

-hold on. hold on. Steady up. Get a grip, girl. You have to fight through this.

Take a deep breath.

Survival Key #3: How Badly Are You Hurt?

Mentally, subject is confused and disoriented.

I keep slipping in and out of consciousness.

Physically, subject is paralyzed but moving.

Okay.

What the hell does THAT mean?

Held down: yes. As if strapped to a table. Could I be in traction in some sick bay, some hospital ward?

Not necessarily one of ours.

But at the same time, parts of me being moved around, emptied out. As if under general anaesthetic, dimly conscious, half-aware as the surgeon cuts off my feet and sews them onto my shoulders. She opens my head with a medical hammer and sand spills out.

I WANT TO DIE I WANT TO-

-no.

never that.

survive evade reveal escape. That is all you know, or need to know.

[skiiper]

todays the day! the first countdown has already reached 0. but nothing seems to have happened yet, or at least i havent seen it. you guys notice anything new?

Sorry if this has been posted:

Remove all the capital letters and re-arrange them in an anagram fashion, you get the following:

I'm surprised we don't see more things like this considering the hype it builds up.

I'm pretty sure the OXM theory is correct. All signs point towards that.

[stanley porkchop]

The ilovebees theme? :p

I'm not sure I get that either...

They probably had their reasons. I think they went about it pretty well. A lot of people are still guessing.

extremely dumb. it was obvious to me from the start that this was a MS marketing ploy when the "old granny's bee-loving site" withstood a slashdotting with ease.

Ha ha! No kidding. The site is fast as ever despite the slashdotting.

Also - If this is real... Just.... Ummm... Recreate the site or, since it's rackspace, have them look into the h4x!ng...

Only thing new I've noticed is that it no longer says 0 days for the network it says:

PHASE 1 COMPLETE: Network throttling has eroded

Dana has updated her blog at http://ilovebees.blogspot.com/ Not much new info but it is new.

[Matt]

this is all very interesting.

[stanley porkchop]

There's a lot of new... things going on in the site. It's definitely Halo. I can tell that for sure now. Too many Bungie references to dismiss that fact. There's ONI discussion, interplanetary warfare, and some kind of Trojan horse- which I'm guessing is that girl, "The Operator", if they happen to be the same person. She used to talk about having surgery done on her, and her head being full of sand. Now it's full of honey and she's got a stinger and a tentacle (which also happen to be some qualities of the Flood). So, either there's something big with the Flood involved... or she was surgically altered to become some kind of Trojan horse- I'm guessing for another Halo invasion or maybe for a spy operation on the Covenant. Unless the Covies are the ones who altered her. It's all still very cryptic.

Man, this is getting good.....
