Like most of you, I really wanted to believe that rageofthegods.com was a real site. My BF, a writer, pointed out to me that it makes no sense from a story point of view. It's not part of the story so far and it doesn't do anything. Since he also played the LOST ARG and this is my first, I sometimes go to him with questions. He also explained that in an ARG, you shouldn't have to wonder if something is in or out of game...you should just know and it should be apparent. The only thing that kept me thinking rageofthegods.com was part of the game was the fact that the domain was registered around the same time as 1-18-08.com. In the end, this isn't enough to go on and the rest of the Collective Brain have given up. At this point, I am also giving up on Rage of the Gods. However, if something pops up, you know I'll post it. That's what I do.
Meanwhile, news, updates, and anything "game" related whatsoever have come to a near standstill. Like a lot of people, I have to wonder if this is game at all. Let's face it, it's probably not. What it seems to be is nothing more than marketing at it's finest, but even that is questionable. I hate to sound like I'm loosing my enthusiasm, but there just isn't much to go on these days. Regardless, this still seems like a really awesome movie and I'm going to continue blogging and posting updates as they arise. Whether this is a game...at this point, I have to say no. Maybe I'm just feeling frustrated at the lack of information and updates. Word on the street seems to be that something will drop very soon. Let's cross our collective fingers.
I'll also add that when rageofthegods.com broke, the collective brain worked at a break-neck speed to figure it out and within 8 hours, had determined it was false. This is what I love about all of this. It's amazing what people can do and the fans are a group of highly intelligent people from all walks of life. It's inspiring.

Yes, it's really inspiring. We can call it viral marketing, bit also we can call it collective creativity.
Even if the movie will be soso, the whole great mythology and theories complexes are really cool enough to be part of our cultural history.
hopefully we will have something by Friday...because i am losing my interest in the arg as well, just like many others
