Something is falling towards you. Or are you falling towards it?

    Does this ARG seem.... i dont know... a bit pointless to anyone else? [url=http://www.ilovebees.com]ILB[/url] worked because no one knew what it was. It was insanely cryptic and only those dedicated to the ARG had any any clue that Bungie was behind it or that it was leading to a new Halo game. With Iris, everyone expected a third Halo so the shock-and-awe aspect was out the window. Iris worked because it was [i]truly[/i] viral. It started with emails, moved to the forums and website and was perpetuated by cryptic posts by "AI" users on b.net. The puzzles were very interactive and people who solved them were "[i]rewarded[/i]" for their efforts. (As far as I know, some users are still awaiting prizes. lol) Now we have this... We already know what it is. (Hell, every unlocked image is marked "Bungie" and "Destiny".) We already know when it will end. We already know what's waiting on the other side (Granted, we don't know exactly how the ARG will end -- I'm sure there will be some "holy crap" moment in one of the images -- but we know what it's leading to); we [i]know[/i] Bungie will reveal their new game "Destiny" on Sunday, February 17. They've told us on facebook and twitter, and many gaming sites have featured stories about the release already. I just don't see the point of this one. There isn't even any challenge to it. It's not a puzzle, it's just a coordinated effort. The only hard part about it (after the initial breakthrough of FF Transforming the images) is managing to get enough people online at the same time... which is not fun; just frustrating. The process has been automated now as well! No one even needs to do [i]anything[/i]! Just click the buttons every five minutes and you're done. In a few hours, out pops another image. And what if we don't get the link in time? We miss out on a chunk of a narrative? (Actually, not quite... you can still go back and complete previous days. We'd just need to coordinate again at a later date. It's just delayed.) So what?! I get it: it's probably related to Destiny's back story. But we're going to learn that in four days anyway! What is the point? (brb gotta click the things again) Where was I? Oh, right. Guys! Bungie's new game is coming out soon! This is so exciting! I can't wait for Sunday!
