Plain_Ole_Al Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 I have a Gamecube question. When MP2 was being marketed, a few "fake" websites were put up that were seemingly innocuous but were in fact clever advertising for the game, see here. Now, one of these sites pretended to be a real life military contractor offering services that included having soldiers roll up into armoured balls (see the link now? ) and there's a login for more info on the site. I just thought as its a Gamecube game I might ask here, does anyone know anything further about one of these marketing websites; Orbis Labs and its "Government Official Login"? My last thread on the subject got canned so I'm explaining in more detail :wink:
Shino Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 Nice to see you made another thread about this, the mods around here have been a little trigger happy when it comes to closing threads, sarka was wrong in doing that to you're last thread. As for the topic, I too am curious about it, there was another site that contained the clues, but I don't remember it's URL.
jakeee Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 Shino, I guess you mean Channel 51. I think there are no acces codes for the orbis labs
Shino Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 yap that's the one. there was a 3rd one named Athena Astronautics that for some reason it's offline, but here's a quote about it on wikipedia Athena Astronautics is a site that is pursuing sending women into space. There are mentions of suit, weapons, and combat training—references to Samus Aran's Power Suit. There is also a blog that dismisses Channel 51 (above) and Samantha Manus, but makes no mention of how the videos clearly show Metroid Prime 2 footage. Additionally, Athena Astronautics offered job positions on Monster.com for Bounty Hunters. Those who initially applied for the position were sent an "interactive training manual", in the form of a free copy of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metroid_Prime_2_Echoes
Plain_Ole_Al Posted December 30, 2005 Author Posted December 30, 2005 Yeah, that third site Athena Astronautics wouldn't work for me either. A news site I found through Google mentioned they thought a password would be released after MP2 was released but nothing else.
