Typo, it seems. There is no "www.perlplexcity.com"

I'm still expecting the actual paper ad to have an md5 at the bottom that decrypts to "gotcha!"

Back on the curtaincurrent thing, I would vote for curtain which actualyl makes some sense betcause when you think about the PMs behind the iron curtain...
on one other thing, the wind noise in the beginning, straight out of Cube Quest. Wish I still had my laserdisc of it. Sigh.

little movie of it, it has the wind sound about halfway in.

I do hope that isn't it...
Don't ya know? It's an homage to ILB. We have to find 777 print ads before the game can move on...

All that excitement for THAT? You guys have the advantage as I can't download at work, but looks as though the hare is running!
KSG - the Pattern Recognition link is right up there - Cayce got lots of her kicks in Tokyo - time to speed re-read. Just hope this has nothing to do with Lost in Translation, only thing it lost for me was the will to live.......

Nothing directly relating to perplex city, no strange news stories...
My heart pumped when i seen "Gamers can bring economic impact" but its about the IOC and Olympics
If USA Today has more than 20 pages, then i need a IRL copy as PressDisplay only has 20 pages...

USA Today is the size of a typical newpaper here in the US. It usually has 4 sections: News, Sports, Money, and Life. Each section is somewhere around 10 to 20 pages.
So, you might just want to stop by your local newsstand and pick up a real copy.

..and a further question, why are they putting the items in the papers in a staggered way? This suggests there will be further updates (in slices of video as per Pattern Recognition again...) via the same medium as todays' offering.
