I read that, and it came off a little weird. (I loved everything else, though) George Bush is waaaay too stupid to become a dictator- he was lucky enough to become president. Dick Cheney, however... also, the "G" in Capital G stands for Greed.

Something happened this week and I had song off the Fragile playing in my head and so I thought - I'm buying it (again - 3rd time)... then I decided to look up nin news, and here I am. I've been reading and watching videos and feeling very freaked out at times, haha. What a mind****. Some things I could not watch at all - couldn't make it through the Red Horse video or a couple of the youtube videos. Anyway - I am bummed that I wasn't here from the beginning, but am happy to be on board now. I've looked stuff up - what is the current state? I'm checking out the 42entertainment website... is Hour of Arrival the last site and are we expecting anything else? Besides the HBO thing.

I'm pointing you to two threads at ETS that kept track of everything as we broke the codes and found new parts to the ARG. (Now that the ARG is over, they are locked, but very useful!)

Kreaux member Joined: 11/15/08 Posts: 3	The whole Capital G subject kicked my brain sideways. I'm by no means well-educated in the whole YZ/ARG thing, but here's my interpretation.. Mostly from Elliot Carraig's point of view... 'G' may have multiple meanings. Think of G as Greed, George, Government, Gil, God, (perhaps Jesus, 'G-sus'...lol). Capital could also be another term for money. A capital G could be $1,000... He pushed a button and elected him to office and a - (Greed/$$$ elected George/Gov) He pushed a button and it dropped a bomb - (He as in George/Gov) You pushed a button and could watch it on the television Those motherfuckers didn't last too long ha ha I'm sick of hearing 'bout the haves and the have nots Have some personal accountability The biggest problem with the way that we've been doing things is - (We as in Gov/George?) The more we let you have the less that I'll be keeping for me - (Greed) Well I used to stand for something - (The revolution, in Elliots case) Now I'm on my hands and knees - (Perhaps he feels like a slave again...) Traded in my God for this one - (...trading Government/God for Gil and $$$.) He signs his name with a Capital G - (He's Gil/Greed/$$$'s slave.) Don't give a shit about the temperature in Guatemala <---another capital G. it could be there to eliminate 'G's meaning as a place.. Don't really see what all the fuss is about Ain't gonna worry bout no future generations and a I'm sure somebody's gonna figure it out - (The Greedy response of those capable of helping.) Don't try to tell how some power can corrupt a person You haven't had enough to know what it's like You're only angry 'cause you wish you were in my position Now nod your head because you know that I'm right—all right! - (One big ole Greed vs Greed-fest) Well I use to stand for something But forgot what that could be There's a lot of me inside you - (Greed) Maybe you're afraid to see With so many similar subjects with capital G's floating around... i wouldnt put it past Trent to associate them all into as few lines as possible. Edit: Greed (if Gov is placed with George), would be the only uncapitalized word among them, which could be why Trent had to clearly point it out as G. (They chant it too!) Edited 2 time(s).

Year Zero is set in 2022 - when all of America after a terrosist attack at the 81st Academy awards sets of America's whole Paranoia. America becomes supressed and Attacks Iran, Kazhikstan and even Syria. Iraq, Afganistan, and the countries listed above declare Jihad on America. The World Cup in 2018 in Britain see's the violent abuse of an Argetinian family after a bad football match - all the Suspects are fitted with chips.

You can use any software that will record what's being played through the speakers of your computer. Also, does anyone happen to know what font is in this picture? It almost looks like Palace Script MT, but not quite.

mustacheman member Faster, faster Mr. Snaily Joined: 06/23/08 Location: Las Vegas Posts: 4,121	I figured out how to use the ableton program that came with Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D, and I made this bad-ass remix to In This Twilight (well not really, I just added something to the second chrous) but it wouldn't let me save! Is there a way I can save my projects? PM me with the answer please, I don't really get on the forums enough to look for an answer. EDIT: Never mind for this, look at my post below. Edited 1 time(s).

QFT! Those were some awesome times. I would be up and on the comp at the craziest times looking to see what clues had been found in whatever city they were in at the time. And calling that number at about 5:30 AM .....entire family thought I was nuts for laughing and getting all excited over it and then furiously typing away about it online.

march.of.my.pigs member Joined: 09/09/08 Location: above the trees. Posts: 41	All right. So, i'm confused with the whole game aspect of year zero. I heard about the game a while ago, but never took the initiative to research it fully until now, and i'm still having problems. I've been to 42entertainment.com/yearzero and have examined the entirety. Is this the place i need to go? Is it still being updated, or i am way too late for this?
