Halo 2 theater trailer (easteregg)

a counter comes up when I go to the ilovebees site. It was like 31 days on it. Maybe it's a countdown to the Halo 2 release? I'm not trying to hype it or anything, I don't have an xbox and consequently don't care much. But its a possibility... :p

I saw it also and went to the site. Maybe someone who worked on it kids website and there pimping it? Because the site has nothing about Halo or does it. :eek:
 
Looking around a bit on that site, it definitely has the feel of some kind of ad. Stuff's purposely messed up and messages are written randomly.
 
One thing that clues me into this being a bungie thing: If you read the halo novels (like I did. NERDS OF THE WORLD UNITE!) you learn one of Cortana's primary functions is systems intrusion. The Strong Intrusive Inclination makes me think of that...

My $0.02 :-D
 
Oh, hey, there's a lot of talk on the Honey page that sounds like Cortana too. Take a look-see.

This is freaky as hell... definately check out the bungie forum page. Something big is happening on Sept. 1.
 
Ah-ha! Here's more.

www.xbox.ilovebees.com is the exact same page

There's a lot of talk on the web about it being from Captain Keyes, infected by the flood, or Cortana, or even doctor Halsey (read the books, for god's sake).

There are 7's all over, this is a bungie trademark.

More if I find it...
 
Good call. ;)

If you're really curious, read the bungie forum post. The stuff these guys dug up is painfully indicative of another Cortana Letters plot...
 
Guys heres all the weird text i could find, and if u click the page links a few times they change and come up with premade buggy animation and glitches.




Check this out, i went to the page and this is what popped up with a countdown:

HALT - MODULE CORE HEMORRHAGE

Control has been yielded to the
SYSTEM PERIL DISTRIBUTED REFLEX.

This medium is classified, and has a
STRONG INTRUSIVE INCLINATION.

In 4 days, network throttling will erode.

In 18 days this medium will metastasize.

COUNTDOWN TO WIDE AWAKE AND PHYSICAL:
31:07:40:55:969

Make your decisions accordingly.



The hives page says:

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
Of course the crew won't come for me if they're all dead. If they're all dead and I alone am left to tell the tale.

I'm crying, and my tears are made of sand.



The about page says:

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
I've been here forever.
Conscious, unconscious.
Nobody here.
Nobody calling.
Nobody's going to come.



Honey page says:

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY nd in about half an Hour the Boat was overset by a sudden Flurry from the North. What became of my Companions in the Boat, as well as of those who escaped on the Rock, or were left in the Vessel, I cannot tell; but conclude they were all lost.

lay down on the Grass, which was very short and soft, where I slept sounder than ever I remember to have done in my Life, and, as I reckoned, above Nine Hours; for when I awakened, it was just Day-light. I attempted to rise, but was not able to stir: For as I happen'd to lye on my Back, I found my Arms and Legs were strongly fastened on each Side to the Ground; and my Hair, which was long and thick, tied down in the same Manner. I likewise felt several slender Ligatures across my Body, from my Armpits to my Thighs.

MAYDAY MAYDAY
All lost! To prayers, to prayers! All lost!

What, must our mouths be cold?

Arachne hung herself, you know. Take a hint already.
 
The gamespy.com knoweth!

"The last thing we see is that familiar Xbox logo, but if you look carefully, there is one quick frame where the www.xbox.com turns into www.ilovebees.com. Going to this site opens a whole new can of worms, which we can't really talk about yet. You can be sure that we'll be letting you know what's up as soon as we can!"
 
Either they can't talk about it because they're not allowed to, or they can't talk about it because they don't know anything yet...
 
From the wording, though, it's pretty obvious they know what it's about. We can't talk about it?...
 
Answers? Strange!

Ok, we all agree that this is bizarre stuff, but we also KNOW for a fact that "someone" is trying to give us some information here.

First off, when you go to the main page of ilovebees.com, you get the HALT - Module Core Hemorrahage - message. Most notable is SYSTEM PERIL DISTRIBUTED REFLEX, which in acronym form could read... SPDR or... SPiDeR (more on this below).

We are then told that...

In 4 days, network throttling will erode Network Throttling is something that causes Network Transmission Speeds to be "lower" than what they should be. This could in turn, affect the performance of "STREAMING PROGRAMS" such as (get this) Microsoft Windows Media Services 9. So what this all could possibly mean is that in 4 days, we may see some form of streamed message on ilovebees.com.

In 18 days, this medium will metastasize well, you can't really know what that means until you look up the meaning of the word...

To spread elsewhere in the body: to spread in the body from the site of the original tumor by means of tiny cells transported by the blood or lymph (refers to cancer)

So in 18 days, the infection that we see is only going to get WORSE, count on it!

Margaret mentions under the link HONEY that she cannot "...sell honey because of an infestation of VARRAO mites in my hives..." If she is such an accomplished beekeeper, how could she spell VARRAO MITES wrong? It should be VARRoa MITES

Under the link FUNSTUFF you will find additional links to recipes, bee facts, etc. (You may have to refresh your browser to view the links). But if you'll notice, there is also a CONTACT ME link. I thought it was interesting what I saw there. A cat, chasing a bee; it eats the bee and falls asleep. Could the bee have infected it somehow and is that important?

Well, Margaret the beekeeper owns a cat. Coincidence? AND her cats name is Farnsworth. Farnsworth is none other than...
Lucius Farnsworth
Human/MUTANT
BEEKEEPER, millionaire

Lucius Farnsworth is a mutant with the ability to reduce himself and others in size, and to command others psychically. Additional info about the "fictional" character L. Farnsworth is here: Who Is Farnsworth???

Note, Farnsworth was associated with Fenton Farnum who is the worlds greatest authority on bees. Does all of this mean anything? Who knows?

One thing I am certain of however is the following STORY, This is the WHOLE, ACTUAL STORY from ilovebees.com. I CANNOT reveal my source. [Anything in brackets are my words]...

[There was a shipwreck involving a boat; a woman and a man were among the survivors]

length: 120 meters
crew: 40
cover: pleasure yacht
hair color: brown

[The shipwrecked woman]
It happened one day, about noon, going towards my boat, I was exceedingly surprised with the print of a flea's naked foot on the shore, which was very plain to be seen on the sand.

…and in about half an hour the boat was overset by a sudden Flurry from the North.

MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY

What became of my Companions in the Boat, as well as of those who escaped on the Rock, or were left in the Vessel, I cannot tell; but conclude they were all lost.

"At night in the Earth's southern hemisphere, run an imaginary line along the axis of the Southern Cross to extend out about five times the length of that axis. Any landmark directly under that imaginary point will be in the general direction of south."

Tricky! Can't seem to focus! Need to start on the easy ones, like "up". Move on to the compass later.

Up. Up. ...Damn it.

You'd think "up" wouldn't be too much to ask. It's not like nor-nor-east or something.

I need to find out where I am. Also who, but that might be less important. It's possible the two things are related.

Stars, I need stars. I was always a fine sailor; they said my navigation was celestial.

The Operator.
That was my nickname. That's what the rest of the crew called me when they didn't call me ... whatever my name was.
The Operator.

I wish I could remember their names.

I think I am a fallen star. I should wish on myself. Please let me go home, please let me go home, please let me go home, please let me go home, please, please, please, please, please, please, please.

[Is there] any landmark sand mark, anything, anything? Nothing!
Black beach, nothing but sand and darkness! Sometimes, in the distance, dry lightning: in the flash I see pieces of the wreck around me, the spars and rigging of my brain

- hold on, hold on. Steady up. Get a grip, girl. You have to fight through this. Take a deep breath!

FIELD EXPEDIENT DIRECTION FINDING
Find a straight stick about a meter long and stand it upright on fairly level upright ground. Mark the tip of the shadow cast by the stick: wait 15 minutes: mark the shadow again. Draw a line from the first mark through the second and some way beyond. Stand with your left foot on the first mark and your right on the end of the line. In the northern hemisphere, you will now be facing north, and can recall the other directions by their relationship to north. In the south, contrariwise…

Hmmm, no stick, no sun.
Getting muddled here! Sick, obviously. Broken inside! Not thinking straight. Got to go back to first principles…

Survival Key #3:
How Badly Are You Hurt?
Mentally, subject is confused and disoriented. I keep slipping in and out of consciousness.

Physically, subject is paralyzed but moving. Okay. What the hell does THAT mean?

Held down? Yes, as if strapped to a table. Could I be in traction in some sick bay, or some hospitals ward, not necessarily one of ours?

But at the same time, parts of me being moved around, emptied out; as if under general anesthetic, dimly conscious, half-aware as the surgeon cuts off my feet and sews them onto my shoulders. She opens my head with a medical hammer and sand spills out.

There's a boy on the beach next to me but a wave comes up foaming with spiders and takes away his face - oh.

We’re made of sand. We’re both made of sand…uh-oh.

Eight legs (I feel them walking on me) and how many voices-three? Five? Eight? I am to become a most delicate monster indeed.

I will stand firm. I will hold my edges and remember. I can do this. I know how to remember things, even through drugs and torture. Seek evade reveal resist. I will not dissolve.

There are people who love me. I know that even though I can't remember them. I will not be forgotten. I will not be forgotten.

There are people who love me. There must be. Here come the spiders.

I WANT TO DIE I WANT TO -

No! Never that!

Survive, evade, reveal, escape! That is all you know, or need to know.

Gap in the clouds: head suddenly much clearer.

The spider is working on me. I must be in very bad shape.

I'm crying, and my tears are made of sand. All lost! To prayers, to prayers! All lost!

…totally different kind of memory all of a sudden, floating up like a bubble from deep water, then *pop* on the surface of my mind. All in black and white for some reason, faded out, or just time bleaching the past like it does, time is hard that way, if you - Stop. Stay on task, girl.

So *pop*, and I'm... playing on the beach, very young, making a castle out of sand. It's a good castle, I'm smart, I'm really smart and I'm good with my hands and the castle is beautiful but the tide is coming up, I'm making dikes and moats and outer walls, getting a little desperate here this castle means the world to me it's way better than my brother's, but the tide is rising and rising, the tide is always coming up and no matter how hard I try to save what I have made, sooner or later the spiders wash over it and melt it down I'm losing the memory already I can't see myself was I wearing a dress or overalls or…?

…lay down on the Grass, which was very short and soft, where I slept sounder than ever I remember to have done in my Life, and, as I reckoned, above Nine Hours; for when I awakened, it was just Day-light. I attempted to rise, but was not able to stir: For as I happened to lye on my Back, I found my Arms and Legs were strongly fastened on each Side to the Ground; and my Hair, which was long and thick, tied down in the same Manner. I likewise felt several slender Ligatures across my Body, from my Armpits to my Thighs.

[The Shipwrecked man]

Shipwreck! Shipwreck! Wrecked ship, Shipwreck!
MY HEAD IS FULL OF SAND

I've been here forever. Conscious, unconscious!
On, off. On, off. On off on off on off on off on off on off on off on off on off on off on
[a lot of on/offs]

Nobody here, nobody calling, nobody's going to come
...unless…
…of course, if I am behind enemy lines… then constantly shouting for help wouldn't be the smartest play in the world, would it?
Got to run silent; got to run deep; hide and go seek
What, must our mouths be cold? Arachne hung herself, you know!?

Those are pearls that were her eyes; nothing of her that doth fade, but doth suffer a sea-change into something rich and strange

Take a hint already!
God my head hurts.
Survive evade reveal escape. Survive-well, I'm not dead yet. Evade-don't want to evade.
I want to be FOUND.
Of course the crew won't come for me if they're all dead; if they're all dead and I alone am left to tell the tale.

What a brave new world-sand and darkness, sand and loneliness, sand and emptiness, sand and the spider-what a brave new world that hath such monsters in it.

Seek the truth
Behold the truth
Reveal the truth
That is the law and the whole of the law

This is pretty interesting stuff. It's kind of cool to see a developer doing something cool for the fans, especially when they know they don't have to because this game will be HUGE. They could just sit back, not do a damn thing, release the game, and rake in the cash. I don't really care about the game, but props to the developers for doing a little something extra.

Haha, wouldn't that be great?

No, I was on my way to the SuicideGirls Burlesque show and traffic was really bad, my attempt at being early and scouting it out ended up with me being just on time for the show, sorry guys
:(

I did hear from another source though that there's a UPS store there along with some non descript offices, oh and a gay leather shop (the place is right in the castro district) :D
 
Looking at the privacy report for the page, it looks like the script that is being called up on the main page is titled "countdowntochina.js" whatever that means 0_o

somebody posted that maybe they will release a MP (or SP) demo via Live when the thing counts down. Wouldn't THAT be sweet? Who knows, though. One thing's for sure, google those phrases and they are on quite a few sites on the 'net.
 
guess we will find out in 28 days.Hang on, i got a driving test in 28 days!!!!
 
I stopped caring past the realization that the constant referral to bees as a subject was a reference to the Covent hive (Their civilization exists as a hierarchy, much like bees).

It's intriguing, but none of these theories will ever be confirmed until someone from Bungie says what's up.
