Lost - Viral Marketing/Weird Shit

Tell you what - just keep checking this post. I’ll do another later, but this one’s fine for now. Updated again.

Just found some class stuff for Lost. May find more soon, only up to the second episode in the thread I’m reading…

Dharma Industries

Click a link.

INVALID IP. ACCESS DENIED. Class.

Hanso Foundation

Go onto the projects page and move your cursor under the list at the bottom. Dharma initiative. Click it. A video of the orientation video that Jack and Locke saw appears. It’s a lot freakier when you see it outside of the episode, just feels weird watching it.

Finally, go to the page info about Alvar Hanso. According to the time period, I’m willing to make a guess.

Locke’s dad?

The time period mentioned could feasibly fit. He’s rich. He’s mysterious. And you try telling me that picture doesn’t look a bit like him…

Interesting ‘numbers’ blog, too - Lost Numbers

Also, Dharma logo is on the plane, as Turon found. And Walt is on a milk carton. Freaky as hell.

EDIT: This is a biggie. Dharma = The Others?

Dharma = The Others?

Link of picture

Seems like a reasonable deduction, and I reckon this could actually prove it. The first two, from end of season 1. The second two, from the Orientation video…

The second logo in the second bunker featured an arrow.

Arrow

There are six star constellations…of Apollo (the chocolate bar!)

1. Cygnus = swan
2. Sagitta = arrow
3. Corvus = crow
4. Crater = goblet
5. Ophiuchus = serpent handler
6. Orion = the hunter

Ripped right off Penny Arcade.

AMAZING video just came out, too. I think they’re right with the constellation shit, and I think it could well be Locke’s dad. Could be spoilers, but I’ve watched it. It’s another Dharma film reel thing. Seems to confirm some kind of psychic research…

Video

Hope that works.

yay done.

finally completed my cv after doing bits every so often, i emailed it youguys, tell me what you think.

Lost season 2 so far

A’right I suppose. It’s not brilliant, it’s very good but not at its peak.

I think it’s pretty clear by now that Jack’s a self-centred cock who thinks the world revolves around him and takes things too personally, i.e. holding everything against Locke like a personal vendetta. He’s a fucking twat, he tries to do good but he’s having a major power trip.

I’m loving Jin’s development (he became one of my favourite characters around his episode) with regards to his English.

I called the new people being from the other side of the plane as well. Maybe I just find it a bit predictable. Clever way of explaining why the ‘others’ leave no tracks, wouldn’t have thought of it even though it was so obvious.

I didn’t find the preview for next week all that astounding, either. Sawyer is probably slowly developing gangrene (sp?) due to his injury, so falls ill, and somebody is going to die - I call ‘Sawyer dying is way too obvious’. I bet they pull a fast one and have one of the new people dying. I can’t imagine them wanting to get rid of anybody at the moment, they’re all too important and their stories haven’t been finished.

MAKE…YOUR OWN KIND OF MUSIC.

I don’t think it was as amazing as you emphasised, Turon.

But it being Desmond fucking rocked - I called it for some reason, then I was right 5 minutes later.

End of season 1.

Jesus Christ. That was sick.

I expected them to save the hatch opening and have it open right at the end, I expected the heroine to come in somewhere (Stupid, STUPID BOY CHARLIE), I expected them to get the baby back, I expected the boat would be dodgy, but what I did not expect was them abducting Walt. That was easily the biggest twist and the sickest part of the entire series. And I loved it.

Watching season 2 soon. Probably gonna be caught up by the end of the day.

you know when u get side tracked…

i was looking at some graphics to do for my web site for uni. i hav ea few ideas but i’m probably sticking with the mf doom fansite. so i was looking at graphics i can do for mf doom. did some grunge shit but didn’t really work, then some retro stuff, but naaah..then i thought “hey…doom likes his comics..i can do an intro grpahic to the site in a comic book style” so i looked for some comic style graphics. came across a class tutorials in making your own comic book style footer.

so after an hour and a half…i came up with thiiis (i removed the image form the blog cos the backgroun is white so u dont’ get to see the border…so i just whacked in a black page) obviously i nicked the pics from the batman begins comic boook, not like i drew them!…..plageriiism!

well proud of it. lol. took me ages to get those partitions right and to cut and paste the pics into the right shape.

if u guys have a coupla hours free and want to mess around with it then this is the tutorial i used.

since we’re on a comic book theme..i just bought XIII for the pc on ebay. 99p with £2 p&p. £3. nice one :) …so i’m stranded on a beach, being accussed of assasinating the president, i don’t remember anything and the number XIII is tattooed on my chest. WHO AM IIIIIII?

chinese guys in front of a webcam miming ‘i want it that way’ by the backstreet boys. bloody hilarious.

gets really good when they start head-banging at around the 2:15 mark.

click here.

p.s. - i find it funny how there’s a guy on a pc behind them and he doesn’t do anything throughout the whole thing.

Boone’s Exit

Class episode.

Nearly at the end of season 1 now, 5 more episodes to go I think. Have the first five of season 2 already downloaded in preparation. :)

24 s5 trailer

a short and apparently spoiler-free trailer for season 5 has been released. haven’t watched it yet cause it’s bound to give atleast a small part of the story away, but if you do, just right click, save as, download and enjoy …

… ok just watched it, looks amazing youguys even though it’s 29 seconds and is spoiler free, expect there’s a line about him being dead and he’s #)(&% now, obviously what else do you expect. just jack bauer on screen - PHWOOAR, best thing on tv.

I WANT SEASON 5 TO START!!

GEEK

i’m sersiouly loving linux now

ashton ownaaage

a’right?

good day? my day was pretty gooood. had study skills first sat with tedd. then we both had operating systems. the first bit is general OS shit. mason, remember in computer we had 3 states for proccesses? Running/Blocked/Runable? well now we have to look at a 7 state model! some very silly ones like Runable Blocked. lol. the other half of operating systems is linuuuuuuux. was pretty cool today…looking at how to run two proccesses at the same time using the ‘&&’ command. then had an hour free, was going to do some linux but ended up pissing around and customizing my linux desktop…which stays with your account, even if u log on to another computer. so was getting new icons and a Marvin the Android wallpaper. hopefully going to make it look like thiiis. anyway after that i had Dr Blackiiie in Foundations of Computer, did some simple programmign looking at IF THEN ELSE, WHILE DO loops…etc..got a homework, have to draw a systems flow chart for a cafe. where there are 4 tables with 4 chairs. a customer can order either tea or coffee and can have sugar/milk and also set the strength on the drink.

anyway, i then got a lift off my mate, steven, who lives in ashton. i went round ashton for a bit, popped into mvc, saw this girl who used to be in my AS biology. had a good chat. she said biology was boring w/o me :) and that everyone missed me. (they were first years when i was the famous 3rd year)she gave me her number and told me to text her…she was the one who stole my 1984! bitch!

anyway then i left her and walked round ashton for a bit. hmv opening where dixons was. they’ve got jobs but it’s like for 35 hours a week…naaaah! saw soem other bloke who used to be in my chemistry, was just a quick hello but still made me smiille. then i started to sing the Cheers’ theme song in my head “…where everybody knows your naaaame”. a’right by everybody i mean 2 but stilllll.

but then i had to leave ahston and got on the bus hooome . was raining bit who caaared? topped up at the ATM. came home put on some dry clothes.

going to download the dvdrip of hitchicker’s guide to the galaxy, now.

how was yourguys daaays?

Latest Preview - King Kong

Peter Jackson’s King Kong - Gamecube Preview.

Thinking I should start putting this stuff in a portfolio folder.

I’m now involved in C3 retro month (happening around January), can’t really give many details but I’ve done a review and I’m doing a feature or twoooo. Not really sure I was supposed to say when it was, but oh well.
