ABC launching web based game on Lost, AKA Crack for Geeks

Ok, so maybe not all geeks, but this one is hooked. ABC has announced that they will be launching a new game based on the Lost TV show. The game, "Lost Experience", will feature a story line that is parallel to the main one, but will feature new characters. A friend has told me that the real world component will be pretty strong. Also, the link above reveals that clues will vary by continent, so more can be gained by sharing information.

With that in mind, I added a new forum to my Lost conference just for the game itself. The game begins on May 3rd in the US, but I expect my friends in England who get it on May 2nd to start posting as soon as possible!

Other big news - there is now an official Lost fan club with - get ready for it - merchandise! I'm buying a Dharma mug now. Seriously. I can't drink coffee again until I have one. Right now the link does not seem to lead to a real club, but the official Lost site says it is opening soon, so that must be why it just leads to products. (Unless it is some evil plot to sell merchandise! Never happen I say, never!)

I was wondering how long it would take you to notice this. ;-)

Heh, I had multiple people send it to me.

Now only imagine if we could channel all this intellectual power to something worthwhile...

I think there may be a demand for Die cut window decals of the dharma logo. I have created a vector version of the logo and was wondering if I were to produce them if anybody would be interested in purchasing one? I am just trying to figure out what the demand potential is. They would be just like those white die cut silouhette style stickers that are quite popular. And again, it would be of the dharma logo.

I'm thinking that would be a copyright violation.

I am thinking you are right. Good call.

But giving the vector image away to folks wouldn't be copyright infringement :) I'd like the file to print it myself (if you're willing to share the artwork you did). Using stickers around my office that have the logo would be quite fun :)
