Podcasts about alternate reality games

“The Tsuki Project” was a once-active community of likeminded 4chan anons who longed to be transported into a better world. And they believed that by participating in this community formed around the promises and lore of someone named Tsuki, they could enter into this better world after they died. This is a community that first formed in 2017 and has since dissipated into the online ether. It's hard to say what the Tsuki Project was exactly. It has been described as anime suicide cult, a digital version of Heaven's Gate, a hoax, a piece of interactive fiction, an Alternate Reality Game, or just a group of lonely, depressed people who were sucked into one person's maladative daydreams. It was probably a swirl of all of those things. What exactly happened has to be pieced together from archived imageboard posts, websites that only survive as zip files, anime Wikis, and leaked screenshots from Discord servers. This is the story of the Tsuki project based on the surviving records. Subscribe for $5 a month to get all the premium episodes: http://www.patreon.com/QAA Editing by Corey Klotz. Theme by Nick Sena.

WARNING: Some listeners may be disturbed by the fact that at no point in this episode do Mike D and Andrea mention diarrhea. This is a diarrhea-free episode. Proceed at your own risk.Longtime subscribers to our Patreon may remember an early episode of South Jersey Is Also the World where Andrea and Gethard went deep into the history of Ong's Hat, a South Jersey ghost town so tiny it doesn't even appear on most maps. Its history is a fascinating one, with debatable origins involving bootlegging and hat-based feuds as well as an early Internet legend regarded by many as the genesis of Alternate Reality Games. Since that episode, Ong's Hat has popped up in a few other places, so we figured it was time for a revisit. While we do discuss the above in some detail, this episode is really about urban legends, how they spread, and why we seem to love them so much more in Jersey. We also discover something about our own history that has the potential to crack this whole Ong's Hat mystery wide open. We need your help on that one though, so have a listen and let us know what you think! Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

VYS0036 | Infinite Game - Vayse to Face with Joseph Matheny - Show Notes Some rare art transcends reality, some even rarer art seems to create a new reality altogether - the work of Joseph Matheny does both of these things while embracing the trickster spirit inherent in the magickal traditions in which his work has its roots. Joseph talks to Hine and Buckley about Ong's Hat, his "living book" project, widely recognised as the first Alternate Reality Game, and how it took on a life of it's own, not only for the people who were playing it but also for the people who created it. The conversation also turns to synchronicity and how his recent work, the Liminal Cycle, seems to generate synchronicity in the lives of those who engage with it, how his work connects so closely to magick, nature and theatre, his experiences in the North Pole and how they affected his writing, the use of magic in political systems and how the internet we know and love (to hate) today retains the legacy of the ritual magicians and DnD enthusiasts who created it...

Janusz lässt sich aus Gamer-Ehrgeiz auf ein Alternate Reality Game ein. Dass es darin um gefangene Kinder in einem Keller geht, ist natürlich Unsinn. Oder? Von Markus Brügge.

with @enigmida @skominers @smc90A special bonus holiday episode (during our brief summer vacation) based on a hallway-style conversation we did linking two seemingly unrelated things: puzzle design, and crypto. What's the connection? Our experts  riff on all things puzzle design, from types of puzzles and mediums to mindsets -- as well as the parallels between the general principles of incentive design, engagement, accessibility, and more to NFTs, escape rooms, games, and other experience design -- drawing on their deep experience and passion from both inside puzzle communities and from work they've done for different crypto projects. Hosted by Sonal Chokshi, our guests in this episode are: Scott Kominers (a16z crypto research partner and professor at Harvard Business School), who also wrote Bloomberg's puzzle column for a couple years; and Matthew Stein (former software engineer at Google and now full-time puzzle designer), who specializes in narrative puzzle hunts, as well as in designing alternate reality games for NFT communities, movies, musicians, companies, individuals, and others. Stein also designs puzzles for Art of Play's art journal; and is a reviewer for Room Escape Artist, the largest escape room website in North America, where he also writes about various topics in immersive gaming. As a reminder, none of this is investment, legal, business, or tax advice; please see a16z.com/disclosures for more important information, including a link to a list of our investments. 

WE'RE LOST IN AN ALTERNATE REALITY! You know how a good movie can just suck you in? What if you actually BECAME a character. That's kind of what Alternate Reality Games (ARG's) try to do. Sometimes they're for marketing, but sometimes they're just incredibly immersive experiences. We're digging into the mini campaign for The Black Phone, as well as Stranger Things, Halo, and Nine Inch Nails' album Year Zero!

Im Jahr 2009 schrieb ein Facebook-Account namens "Junko Junsui" zahllose Menschen an und erzählte ihnen, dass ihre Schwester verschwunden wäre und sie Hilfe benötigt. Viele beginnen nachzuforschen und gerieten in einen Informationsstrudel, der sie auf Websites von russischen Militärorganisationen, beklemmende Videos und 2014 schließlich zu einer App führte, die noch viel merkwürdigere Details bereithielt. Wer war Junko Junsui? Das klären wir in dieser Episode.

Was war die letzte Geschichte, mit der Ihr Euch beschäftigt habt? Wurde sie in einem Film oder einer Serie am Vorabend erzählt? Habt Ihr sie selbst beim Lesen eines Buches mit eigenen Bildern im Kopf wahr werden lassen? Oder habt Ihr sogar selbst den Lauf der Dinge im Gesellschafts- oder Videospiel verändert? Vielleicht habt Ihr Euch aber auch heute beim Aufstehen gesagt: "Heute wird ein toller Tag" und habt dabei direkt Lust auf die Abenteuer bekommen, die der Tag mit sich bringt. Dann geht es euch so wie Hendrikje Alexis, die bei ihren Tätigkeiten als Gründerin, Produktschaffende, Beraterin und Mentorin sowie Voice Artist und Streamerin vor allem als Geschichtenerzählerin durch's Leben geht. Denn Geschichten werden nicht nur durch Medien erzählt, sondern können auch als eine Art Gamification-Mindset dienen, das dabei hilft, verschiedene Hürden im Leben (sei es in Job oder Freizeit) spielerisch zu bewältigen. Im Gespräch mit Philip und Ben verrät Hendrikje, a.k.a. muermuer, nicht nur, was alle guten Geschichten gemeinsam haben und welche Games sie gern spielt, sondern sie gibt auch Einblick in einige ihrer Projekte, bei denen Storytelling immer eine wichtige Rolle spielt: - Welche Potenzial gibt es für Storytelling in der Arbeitswelt? - Wie können mithilfe von Karten und Geschichten spielerisch Ideen entwickelt und vor allem Menschen zusammengebracht werden? - Was sind Alternate Reality Games und wie helfen sie, Menschen besser in Teams zu integrieren? - Was haben Vampire mit Tomatensoße zu tun, welche Lektionen sollen dadurch für das eigene Verhalten in der Pandemie gelernt werden und wie entwickelt man aus einer prototypischen Fähigkeit für den Sprachdienst Alexa ein zeitgemäßes Handheld-Spiel über 30 Jahre nach Veröffentlichung des ersten Game Boys? - Welche Geschichten erzählt die Herzrate, wie kann man Pulsmesser auf Twitch oder in Videospielen einsetzen und was hat das mit dem persönlichen Wohlbefinden zu tun? - Und wie kann man mit Menschen unterschiedlicher Herkunft mittels einer intuitiven Bildsprache gemeinsam kochen? Antworten auf diese Fragen und vieles mehr gibt's in Folge 32 des Spielsinn Podcasts. Referenzen und weiterführende Empfehlungen zum Thema findet Ihr in den Shownotes zur Folge. Teilt uns im Discord oder über Social Media gern mit, wie wichtig Storytelling für Euch ist und welche Erfahrungen Ihr damit gesammelt habt - gern natürlich auch per Sprachnachricht, z. B. via speakpipe.com/spielsinn - Sämtliche Links zum Spielsinn Podcast gibt's bei linktr.ee/spielsinn.podcast PS: Wenn Euch unsere Sendung gefällt, lasst doch etwas Liebe in Form einer Bewertung auf Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc. da oder noch besser: empfehlt uns weiter :) #FuerEineSpielsinnlichereWelt

Auf einem TikTok-Kanal hält die Person ihre Eindrücke einer leeren Welt fest. Steckt die Person in einer Zeitschleife fest? Oder einem Paralleluniversum? Wir haben uns das Alternate Reality Game um den "User0172647271" in dieser Folge genauer angeschaut.

Come si spiega il successo di una teoria del complotto assurda come quella di QAnon? Un'ipotesi è che sia vissuta dai suoi seguaci come un ARG, cioè un "Alternate Reality Game", un gioco calato in una realtà alternativa. Ma è un gioco molto pericoloso... Di questo parliamo oggi a "Il complotto quotidiano".Aderisci alla pagina PATREON e sostieni i miei progetti e il mio lavoro: http://patreon.com/massimopolidoroScopri il mio Corso online di Psicologia dell'insolito: https://www.massimopolidorostudio.com​Ricevi l'Avviso ai Naviganti, la mia newsletter settimanale: https://mailchi.mp/massimopolidoro/avvisoainaviganti e partecipa alle scelte della mia communitySeguimi:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/massimopolidoro/ Gruppo FB: https://www.facebook.com/groups/MassimoPolidoroFanClub Pagina FB: https://www.facebook.com/Official.Massimo.Polidoro Twitter: https://twitter.com/massimopolidoro Sito e blog: http://www.massimopolidoro.com Iscriviti al mio canale youtube: https://goo.gl/Xkzh8A

ARGs for short, these games are unlike anything you've ever "played" before. Because they begin as games you don't know you're playing. Popularized by the internet, the game can start with a video, a tweet, a Reddit post. All it takes is for a group of people to play along. And now you have a game. In the first story, we cover the video series Petscop, a walk-through of an unfinished video game that delves into unexpected territory. And for the second story, we're talking about The Sun Vanished, which began with a simple tweet that said "help"

Es handelt sich um eine der legendärsten Creepypastas überhaupt. Ein Student kauft ein Nintendo 64-Spiel auf einem Flohmarkt. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Nachdem er beginnt es zu spielen, passieren merkwürdige Dinge - erst im Spiel, dann in der Realität. Und schon bald muss er mit Schrecken feststellen, dass das Videospiel verflucht zu sein scheint. Wir haben uns endlich an "Ben Drowned" gewagt und sind dieser legendären Pasta, die über einen Zeitraum von zehn Jahren zum Alternate Reality Game wurde, auf den Grund gegangen.

What is the most popular form of media today: Movies? Music? Books? Nope, it’s video games. With 2.5 billion gamers today, games are set to be the type of media that most defines our world. And two scholars at the University of Chicago are re-thinking how to leverage them in a way to address some of the world’s biggest issues. Prof. Patrick Jagoda and Assoc. Prof. Kristen Schilt are designing alternate reality games that allow players to become active participants not just as players, but as designers. By using these games to educate users about climate change, marginalization and public health, these scholars and players are investigating how the process of crafting alternate realities can help reshape the real world in which we live.

Welcome to Show Boys, a podcast that delves into the world of film and tv. Hosts Nick and Mike take their water cooler talk from the office to the web as they discuss their favorite movies, shows and all other content in between.

So, what’s an ARG?

Stell dir vor, du wachst morgens auf. Du schiebst deine Vorhänge zur Seite, um das Tageslicht herein zu lassen. Doch alles was du siehst, ist Schwärze. Vollkommene Dunkelheit. Obwohl helllichter Tag sein sollte. Die Sonne ist verschwunden - und das Chaos regiert. Dieses Szenario wird im Alternate Reality Game "The Vanished Sun" auf Twitter Realität. Wir haben die Geschichte im Detail angeschaut und beleuchten in dieser Episode sämtliche Hintergründe zum Schreckensszenario.

Sean Stewart has been a lot of things in his storied career in telling stories. Novelist, LARPwright, actor, theatre tech, and most famously of all: one of the creators of the modern Alternate Reality Game. Now add "internationally produced playwright" to the list. Sean and Noah talk about his upcoming interactive play Roundabout, which will be performed by students of Australia's National Institute of Dramatic Art via Twitch, and the evolving nature of theatre (yes with the "re") in the Pandemic Age.   Show Notes Australia's National Institute of Dramatic Art production of Roundabout Swings And Roundabouts: Theater Strikes Back - Sean Stewart NoPro Episode 156 - Sean Stewart & The Birth of the ARG

Welcome to the Jejune Institute, a purveyor of divine nonchalance as well as many other oddities and the mortal enemy of the Elsewhere Society. Will you, like countless others (including Kalvin and Nick), fall down the rabbit hole of this Alternate Reality Game that popped up from elsewhere in San Francisco in 2008 and disappeared in 2011 after inducting 10,000 people? Is it a cult, or something more. We dive into the Institute, a 2013 documentary based on the 2008 Alternate Reality Game and the inspiration for AMC's Dispatches from Elsewhere, and what made it so enthralling that people became “indoctrinated” and some even forgot where the game ends and reality begins. The evil Octavio Coleman, Esq and the exuberant Commander 14 will guide the search for Eva, a mysterious missing girl, as we decode The Dispatches from Elsewhere. Let us know on Twitter @APASomething and @alone_podcast if you would play, or have ever played an ARG, and if so tell us all about it!

A deeper look into the new form of storytelling.

In this week's episode, we discuss the documentary "The Institute", about an Alternate Reality Game...nay, an *experience* that concluded in 2011, which had participants questioning the lines between reality and fiction. ARG's are games that take place in real life, using a combination of media forms to immerse players in an "alternate" fictional reality. But where these games are usually created as viral marketing tools, The Jejune Institute was meant to bring its players a meaningful sense of adventure and creativity. And, just as with any game, some players got way deeper and more invested than others. Can fiction and gaming give us something that we are missing in the "real world"?
