Mike

@mike You are killing me here, dude. Feeling a little sick to my stomach.

More color from Austin: when the No Caller ID calls came in, I obviously got excited/nervous/Tension-y. Showed the calls to Sabrina, who smiled like a cheshire cat and said, “You’ll be just fine, Bryan.” She later told Darren about the calls, which made him quite…[Read more]

@mike, @bcbishop hm..so who is Brutus in this analogy? Michelle? Does that fit with her being someone once trusted acting in the role of betrayer, now? (Forgive me, I’m still catching up on Tension facts)

Holy shit, @mike.

The assassination thing makes a LOT of sense. Let’s look at the context of the week. Darren and Clint had just taken part in a conference known worldwide to talk about how Tension was something they’d just made up and were totally in control of. Then two days later they released a book talking about how it was all something…[Read more]

@mike wasn’t Myles talking about “someone’s about to get stabbed”? Adds a bit more Julius Caesar imagery there

@mike I just screamed a little.

@moustachemax @mike, not sure if this photo link will work (forum newbie here), but this is the “undeleted” copy of the cast photo:

Wish the image were bigger… hard to tell who the deleted person is.

@mike Ahh, thanks, that’s good to know. I wasn’t sure if that was new, or old, I’m never sure how much history I’m just clueless to. I guess the kid is actually “R”, not “B”, but I wonder who this “kid” actually is?

Phrases like “there is no room at the table for those who can not close” sounds very much like something Noah, and his ilk would…[Read more]

@mike I could get on board with that as a new catchphrase! Working under that assumption that this was someone who might serve as opposition to Noah, it’s interesting that they contacted me. I was accepted to move forward with The System. You think this kind of call would have been aimed towards someone who was outright rejected by Noah and Sarah…[Read more]

@russell @thegilded @mike @mkarrett @addisonborn You all make very strong points.

Being new to immersive and ARG, when/if does one decide to be one’s self or create a persona that game ‘me’ would do things ‘out of character’ of real me?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I equate immersive events being similar to murder mystery dinner theater, where…[Read more]

@mkarrett That list is awesome. I wish there was a way it could be “pinned” to the top of this thread.

Melissa hits on some extremely good points, as others do in this thread. Use common sense, don’t take things personally and respect others…. all key aspects of this. More than likely, if you fully invest, you may find some of the things you…[Read more]

In regards to immersion (and also slightly touching on the “how far is too far” question), on one of the episodes on their My Haunt Life podcast, @mike and @russell address this: when an actress’s real name was revealed within the context of the game as part of the story, some folks decided to seek her out IRL, and/or tried to find out more about…[Read more]

@mike yes!!! Ready for a bit of the ol’ ultraviolence

@mike I have no other evidence except words at the moment but he totally sold me for now. Sure, words are one thing and execution is obviously another but I haven’t seen the latter. Again, I’m eager to see words in action.

Checked my dusty inbox and nothing for me yet either.

Come on Noah, I can do this all day. @mike per your request…

Thanks for letting me steal your words @meghanmayhem @moustachemax @jayfurby

okay okay so I dodged the question.

I don’t know where my 4th wall is. I know that Tension was my first “haunt” because @mike and @russell offered a really perfect review of a story-driven experience that offered emotional rewards. I had no interest in being waterboarded, forced to roll around on used condoms, or whatever. But their description…[Read more]

@russell — you know perfectly well that you found the Devil in @mike

Sorry if this is a bit long. I love ARG’s. I love the immersion, the what ifs, the interaction, the escape from the boring mundane world. I love that a good storyline can effortlessly blend into that boring mundane world and make it seem extraordinary. It gives that spark, that glitch, that what if, and the more you can make me think its real the…[Read more]

@blondie Dialects have never been my strong point as a performer. For you, I may give it a whirl, though. But… does your comment mean I cannot turn to @111error as a resource or coach?

@ziegenbart From henceforth, if any subjects wish to address me as The King of Empathy, I will not protest… simply because I have been called so much worse…[Read more]

@mike Well… I never said I would take any of them up on it. 😛
