"…I'm going to argue that over the next ten years, a particular kind of digital game—the massively collaborative puzzle game known as alternate reality gaming—will become increasingly important both as a way to imagine and design a best-case scenario future,"

An interesting article on the process of a successful ARG, the future and the dynamics. Well I liked it *shifty eyes*

Clouds of insects danced and buzzed in the golden autumn light, and the air was full of the piping of the song-birds. Long, glinting dragonflies shot across the path, or hung tremulous with gauzy wings and gleaming bodies.

I really liked this article, too. thanks for posting it ^_^

My first experience with ARGs was OpAphid and since then I've been doing a lot of reading up on them. Despite the current situation, OpAphid was a really awesome experience and I have to agree that ARGs are a medium of the future.
