In this special edition of the netcast, we take it to the streets and join up with the people we record this show for — the listeners. Regular panelists Marie Lamb (ARGNet), Sean C. Stacey (Unfiction, Despoiler) and Jonathan Waite (ARGNet) are joined by newcomers Dave Tennenbaum and Daniël van Gool, as well as some faithful listeners, to discuss the official unveiling of ARGFest-o-con 2008 plans! You can read more about ARGFest at ARGfestocon.com.
Afterwards, we tread into a few news items, including the current situation concerning Eldritch Errors, the resurrection of The Dark Knight ARG, the mysterious mailings leading us towards Find the Lost Ring and the swirling rumors about a new chapter in the Year Zero ARG.

Thanks for playing my voice mail. I’m curious what your opinions are about importance of the endgame though.
Personally, I don’t think it’s enough for companies that are running ARG’s that promote something to make the exciting ending to the ARG be the release of the product. Both Iris and Cloverfield just kind of ended with the game and movie coming out.
Do you think companies running these, look at other ARG’s when designing their experience? Or do you think they consider themselves more Viral Marketers?
Thanks again for the great Netcast!
