Kudos to The ODI and Erin at Dark UFO for finding the following item nestled among the goodies at the Comic Con LOST Auction (the second picture is written on the back of each card):

It's pretty obvious this is the beginning of a new ARG. The link provided on the front of the card, www.lostuniversity.org, takes us to the ABC website for Lost University with what appears to be lots of interactive fun.

I'm thrilled! This looks a lot more fun than last year's ARG and we are overdue for something to keep us occupied until January.

of course there's an image at the bottom...new people...old faces?

Thanks to DarkUFO reader Chloe for the following.

I am sure that I am way behind or not looking in the right place but has the DarkUFO site let everyone know about these ?Lost Mysteries? featurettes that are on the abc.com web site? The first one went up yesterday and there are four more to come. They are all about the mysteries of Dharma.

Here are the dates that were listed in a KIA ad in my entertainment weekly as the dates for the new featurettes to be released:

7/23/09

8/4/09

9/8/09

10/15/09

Dominic Monaghan Joins Flash Forward, But What About Lost?

In the worst-kept secret?at Comic-Con 2009, the Flash Forward show runners revealed via dramatic video footage?and a late appearance by the actor himself?that Dominic Monaghan will indeed star in ABC's newest high-concept sci-fi drama, premiering Sept. 24. ?

Charlie may be dead on Lost (maybe), but Dom is very much alive as Simon, "a game-changer character who f--ks up a lot of things," as he was described by the ever-pithy show runner David Goyer (Batman Begins, Dark Knight).

Comic-Con 2009 Franchise Brick

Dom joins an all-star cast that includes Star Trek's John Cho, Joseph Fiennes (Shakespeare in Love), Courtney B. Vance (Law & Order) and another British Lost-ie, Sonya Walger (Penny). Their characters all glimpse their lives six months in the future during two minutes of unconsciousness in which the entire population flashes forward.

So does Dom's casting mean he definitely won't return to Lost? Read on to hear how the actor envisions his future...

"When people ask if me I'm coming back to Lost, that's the equivalent of asking Huckleberry Finn if he's coming back to Mark Twain," said Dominic. "I'm a fictional character. I have no control over that."

When asked whether Flash Forward is really a Lost "companion piece," as it's been characterized by the media, the former Hobbit points out that the new ABC show has a "large impressive international cast [and is a] worldwide show?a world event?with mystery, drama and suspense, but ultimately tells the story through characters. So in that way it's heavily influenced by Lost."

"But it's also its own beast. I just kinda know what you guys know. A world event takes place for about two and a half minutes...Everyone becomes a prophet of their life. It's just a huge headf--k."

So why did Dominic choose to play another role on an ABC series? "I want to play someone who's the opposite of Charlie. [And Flash Forward's Simon] is a man?this guy's not scared, he's capable, he's unflappable, he's smart, he's scary, he's everything that Charlie wasn't...I love Charlie?that was a time of my life. But it's important to me to continue to show an audience that I can play more...if no one knows what I'm going to play next, it gives me more choices."

When asked about coping with his fame, the talk of Comic-Con says, "That? is the price I pay for doing the job I love. At some point in the future I'll probably take a step back. Have babies and make honey."

It's pretty obvious this is the beginning of a new ARG. The link provided on the front of the card, www.lostuniversity.org, takes us to the ABC website for Lost University with what appears to be lots of interactive fun.

I'm thrilled! This looks a lot more fun than last year's ARG and we are overdue for something to keep us occupied until January.

Lost University. Sign me up!

They are giving out free posters!!!!!! :(

<snippped>

It is so plain though. I'm not sure I would want it even if it was free :p

They could have come up with something better. Unless that was done on purpose, maybe to symbolize the white-out of the last moment of Lost: Season Five?

I'm not really following this thread but those people are lining up for what? Some event at Comic Con?

Yep in about 10 minutes the lost panel starts with stars and writers from the show, questions will be answered and some footage shown and the ARG being kicked off to cover to till Jan 2010

EWDocJensen: CC: People ask, "Make it up as we go along?" Now they will prove the answer. DL: They pull out the final page of last script.

EWDocJensen: They are locking the page in a briefcase. They say they will reveal it on Jimmy Kimmell on series finale night to prove they had it planned.

:D

EWDocJensen: Question: Season Six similar to Season One? Answer from DL: Want the show to feel like closing loop. Old S1 charaters will be seen.

EWDocJensen: Question from "Faraday fan girls:" Will we see him married with kids? DL: If Jack and crew changed time, maybe. DL: "Faraday WILL be on S6."

EWDocJensen: Question: Richard Alpert flashback--when? Linked to Black Rock? CC: We would be remiss if we didn't give backstory. DL: It's "involved."

EWDocJensen: Q: Juliet make it out alive? DL: Juliet WILL be in final season.

I can't wait for the black rock flashbacks. I'm not sure what they meant be the last page of the script being revealed on Jimmy Kimmel? Anyone want to enlighten me?

The final page of the last episode script has been locked away and on the night of the final episode he will open the case and prove that was the ending they had and it wasnt changed

EWDocJensen

Q: Palette drop. Will we get answer? Jorge: "It comes from planes." DL: "Something we'll try to address."

EWDocJensen

Q: More Dharma stuff next year? CC: Did it last year. Won't be seeing a ton of Dharma stuff is S6.

But unless this final page was written and locked away years ago what does this prove? The best way of proving they weren't making it up as they went along is if the final season wraps it up so perfectly, with so many links to the previous seasons that they must have had an overall plan (which I believe they did).

EWDocJensen

They end with an "In Memorium" clip package: Gary Troup, Arzt, Roger Linus, Mr. Friendly, Ethan, Frogurt...

EWDocJensen

Nikki and Paulo, Libby and Ana Lucia, Rousseau, Alex, Shannon, Boone (huge roar), Charlotte, Mr. Eko, Michael, Faraday, Charlie...

EWDocJensen

Prolonged Charlie clip package. Hmmm... might Dominic come out? He was here yesterday for Flash Forward....

EWDocJensen

HE IS HERE! Standing ovation for Dominic!

End of Panel

    • There is a default resolution setting in Settings > Display that can be changed with a click. You can also change the settings on a per-game basis. No CLI needed. Also, Steam has countless games that are not "[perpetual] alpha/beta games", so no need for the straw man. Plus you can use other stores as well. And console games (e.g. PS5) cost a fortune, which itself more than negates the price subsidy on the system, unless you plan on exclusively playing 1 or 2 games. It's true that you shouldn't buy a system that doesn't support the game(s) you want to play, but I think that's kinda obvious, and applies to every console as well as PC. I don't game in the living room and have no need of a Steam Machine, but there is a clear market segment that would find it useful.

RSS Guard 5.2.0 changelog: Added: Feed auto-fetch can now also be delayed while Feral GameMode is active on Linux and startup auto-fetch is skipped when GameMode is already active. (#2265) WebEngine builds can now use RSS Guard generated proxy auto-config (PAC) rules so article/web browsing follows per-account and per-feed proxy settings more closely. (#2273) Generated PAC rules now also cover related subdomains and use Public Suffix List data, so feeds such as feeds.bbc.co.uk can also proxy resources from images.bbc.co.uk. (#2273) Standard feeds can now define extra proxy domains, useful when article images, stylesheets or other page resources are loaded from a CDN or another domain that should use the same feed proxy. (#2273) RSS Guard now asks for proxy credentials when a WebEngine page needs proxy authentication and can fill credentials from the current feed proxy when available. (#2273) Network settings again include an option to ignore all cookies, which clears stored cookies and prevents new cookies from being accepted. Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now individually ignore cookies while downloading feed data. Stored cookies can now be deleted from the Tools menu. Custom skin colors can now override the feed list article count color separately from feed titles, including a separate highlighted color. (#2275) Settings dialog can now search across available settings and highlight matching controls. (#1754) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now optionally be reported as broken when they are valid but contain no articles. (#2039) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now override the application-wide feed connection timeout per feed. (#1023) Tray icon can now use a custom background color and unread-count text color, with an option to reuse the generated icon as the application icon. (#1973) Support for more benevolent parsing of Gemlog entries (#2295). Article list can now show when an article was received by RSS Guard. (#947) Feed deep discovery now actually scrapes all links found in the website and checks if they are feeds or not. This greatly enhances usability of the deep discovery mode and discovers many more feeds than before. (#2306) Search boxes now show a small dot when the feed or article list is hiding some items because of active filtering. (#873) Articles now have a shortcut-assignable action to open the homepage of the feed they belong to. (#2060) Fixed: Parallel feed updates no longer crash when multiple update results are processed at the same time. (64cf521) Links in WebEngine articles opened from feeds such as Kill the Newsletter now open correctly instead of being swallowed by the embedded page. (#2272) Relative article URLs resolution was kinda broken. (#2282) Clicking article URL did not work when the URL had "fragment" set. (#2293) The default proxy setting now uses Qt/system default proxy behavior instead of forcing no proxy. (e0263ad) WebEngine article loading now keeps the current feed context, so feed-specific proxy credentials remain available while the article page loads.
