With the release of Cloverfield and Lost coming back to television, alternate reality games are a flavorful ingredient in the thick soup that is the nerd zeitgeist. And maybe my soup spoon is too big, but I swore I was being wrapped up into a new ARG the other day when I received this text message from a number I didn't recognize:
I found the spy dog do u want it?
Everyone knows there's nothing more exciting than a spy dog, so with a mixture of caution and intrigue I replied:
I will require full specs before extraction of spy dog. Please send ASAP.
Where was this taking me? How deep could this rabbit hole go? Spy dogs are only ever trusted with the most dramatic of dossiers and microfilm. In the name of storytelling I've concealed the stunning reply. Prepare yourself, for the love of god, before you discover the shocking conclusion.
Current dream status: crushed.
caught up in a web of lies. sigh.
where might one acquire one of these?
How lame! the beginning was good though...
