Some interesting things happening...

Well, there is an email from Jeep that was received this morning about information on the Summer Sale. Also, there is something fishy going on within Team Fortress 2.

Email Contents From Jeep:

Hey Aaron! Good to hear from you. It's so cool that a community formed around the Portal ARG and continues to stick together. I hope you're playing ARGs other than ours since, "Valve Time." That Surgeon Simulator one was pretty awesome! http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/09/27/surgeon-simulator-2013-arg-solved-unlocks-extraterrestrial-surgery/

Anyway, I'm not currently working on an ARG. It's a big company, so there may be something in the works that I'm not aware of, but your best bet is to keep an eye on these mysterious cards...

The Xbox One and PS4 run on x86 architecture:

While Valve and Nvidia work together to port more content to ARM-based platforms:

...and also work in LAN-streaming, which is absolutely possible (in theory) between a PC running Steam and a PS4 / Xbox One:

Everyone could operate however they wanted, via a set of interaction mechanisms similar to an API. Sort of like how Amazon runs their entire business.

:O

Bread ARG.. What about Potato+Bread? :tgrin:
Static 12 Jun, 2014 @ 2:01pm 
Bread is slang for money-- could also refer to 'bread and butter,' as in 'how you make your living.' The different types of bread reperesent the different platforms for gaming: PC, Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, Android, iOS, Commodore 64, etc. Steam will become available on all platforms, and gaming industry will be saved from itself. The ARG is the game development industry itself over the last year-- not a couple of puzzles, mind you, but a huge number of issues separating the platforms from one another. That's my guess.

man, that FP thread was unstructured

Woo! Another (possible) ARG!

ARG during E3? After the big guys blew their loads? Would be odd...but we hang on to everything, don't we? Let's hope this actually turns out to be something!
Happy hunting, gentlemen!
