Lots of interviews prompted by Areae. Here’s a couple:

Currently, our sneaker support is fairly limited. But hey, we’re not even in alpha yet.
Wow, you’re hardly going and you already have limited sneaker support. You guys are going gangbusters! 
I think you’re creating a meta-game now, which is to guess what the game will be about. You’ve posted cryptic clues in cartoon logos and on half a dozen short interviews.
If you take the first letter from each of your responses to GigaGamez, it spells, “inioi”… which is obviously the name of your game! Or is it, “iiutiiic”, from Amber’s interview, which is nearly a roman numeral of some deep signficance. 
And/or you’re taking the time-old dungeon master’s approach of listening to the ideas that your players put forth while talking amongst themselves. Personally, I think there’s a troll hiding in the wonky castle, and it’s protected from being permanently killed by wearing a ring of fire protection +5.
*scoffs*
You’re making it too simple, Mike. Clearly, it’s the twenty-third letter. (This fact is a reference to Discordianism, which Raph is a clear follower of, as well as Numbers 23:23, and the age of Alexander the Great when he cut the Gordian Knot. I mean, isn’t it obvious? )
Which means it’s “Tshht” from GigaGames, and “Albotdke” from Amber’s interview. Actually, that second one had me going for a bit. I thought it’d turn out with something with a vaguely reasonable distribution of vowels.
Hmm… “Ek’d Tobla”?
I should stop thinking about this before I start having too much fun. *whistles*
Whats web 2.0?
If that was a serious question, then I’d point you here:

Maybe it isn’t a coincidence that Areae rhymes (in one pronunciation at least) with ARG. I’m down for playing the Raph ARG, but he hasn’t released enough clues yet, unless the clues have been seeded in past blogs going who knows how far back.
Come on guys, lets see how far absurdist we can take this.
Yea it was Micheal thankyou for the links.
I dont see what that has to do with making games? Or rather how that type of environment is incorporated into an mmorpg, If an mmorpg isnt that type of environment already. Is he saying he plans to make it moreso?
Or Raph, a little explanation here?
