Push NV Producer Chat Announced

ARGN and Unfiction are pleased to host a live chat with Doug TenNapel, the consulting producer who wrote/designed all of the puzzle material for Push Nevada, on Sunday, Dec. 1st at 8:00 pm EST / 5:00 pm PST. Join us live as we get our chance to talk to Mr. TenNapel about all the behind-the-scenes aspects of the Push NV mystery.

Before working on Push NV, Doug TenNapel got his start in television as an animator for the cartoon version of “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.” Later, he got into video games and created both the “Earthworm Jim” game and subsequent television show. His upcoming TV effort, entitled “Gear,” is based on his graphic novel of the same name, published by Fireman Press. Mr. TenNapel has dozens of comic book, video game, animation, and television credits, and he also wrote, directed, and played a part in the 2000 movie Mothman.

The chat will be held in #unfiction on the Chat-Solutions network (irc.chat-solutions.org). For those of you without an IRC client, #unfiction can be accessed via a browser-based java applet here (www.argn.com/chat.htm). Please try to arrive a little early. This will be a moderated chat. Chat and question guidelines will be posted shortly. Check back here or in the Unfiction Push NV forum for more details as they become available.

A New Look, A New Mission

ARGN is sporting a new look, as well as a new purpose. The Alternate Reality Gaming Network is becoming just that: a true network of independent sites contributing to Alternate Reality Gaming. More than just a simple webring, ARGN will always point you to quality, complementary places to go if you’re looking for info related to this growing genre.

ARGN will become the hub for this new affiliation of sites, a place where you will always be able to find a listing of interesting places to go, as well as an archive of ARGs gone by.

In addition, you can find a web-based chat applet with a listing of cool channels to join to talk in real time with other players, and we are sponsoring a mailing list whereby you can always stay informed of news and announcements of new and suspected ARGs.
