It's kind of like the move The Game...but it's a video game. They phone you, harass you, send you email, faxes, instant messages...it sounds crazy. Anyway, I was picked for a beta tester...I got an email this morning from them and signed up right then. I will let you know about it as the "game" progreses...anyone else in on this? If so, once we get started, we should add each other to our AIM buddy lists...

Heard about it a few months ago. IGN had an article on it.

It looks to be one damn cool experience...

You sure these aren't bill collectors in disguise?

There was a 'myst-type' game called Majestic around 4 years ago. Guess this is a different one. I hate those kinds of games...

I think this could be very cool, but I don't want a game calling me. IMing could be cool, but I think this game kind of pushes it. Also I have way too many games to put enough time into this game I think. Also I am kind of curious if it will have replay value, or will it just keep going without an actual end ot the game.

i don't think I'd want to pay to be harassed. I like the OFF button, thank you very much.

The game will be by subscription, so you will play a new "episode" every month or so. Each episode has a goal and can be "won."

They say only about 10% of the people who play it will actually finish any given episode...

I had to delete this yesterday though...something in the EA software took control of my media devices and made them useless to me...

Looks llike I won;t be able to check this out...too bad. I was excited about it.

I think I'll stick with my "not smarter than me" games. thank you very much.

You know, i'm just paranoid enought that this would be the absolute last thing i need. I thought it sounded neat at first but then i'm sure the ulcers i'd develop from constantly looking over my shoulder would kill the enjoyment

Agreed on that. I'm paranoid so as it is.
