Is This Some Funky Viral Marketing For TERMINATOR?? Probably Relating To SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES??

"the new TERMIONATOR feature film..." by tonagan	Mar 21st, 2008 09:40:48 AM
From the people who brought you the Cheerionator and the SpaghettiOnator.

If the movie's acting is as bad as the people in the videos (especially #7) it's gonna suck.
Oh sure, fix the spelling... by tonagan	Mar 21st, 2008 09:47:32 AM

The Terminator Machine in the final movie... by Ordo Malleus	Mar 21st, 2008 09:53:26 AM
It is a Centaur Type Terminator, it was supposed to be in the beginning of the second film but was cut out.

Hope to see it back by Sithdan	Mar 21st, 2008 09:58:07 AM
I hope Sarah Connor Chronicles makes it back to my television screen this fall. It's not perfect by any means, but it sure beats the crap out of all this other excrement on tv like Survivor, American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, Truth or Dare (or whatever the hell that piece of shit is called) and Super Nanny.

Good Viral Marketing by Spastic Jedi	Mar 21st, 2008 10:00:08 AM
It is definitely some of the best viral marketing I have seen. Base it in reality and it makes it that much more believable. You guys read the comments for the videos? They are hilarious. People are debating whether or not it is real. Too funny!
That four legged goat-bot by clownbot3000	Mar 21st, 2008 10:01:56 AM
is more than a little creepy.

It's like a goat crossbred with a fly
Real or not, people seem to forget that.. by Yeti	Mar 21st, 2008 10:23:45 AM
technology is at least 10 years ahead of what's commercially available or released to public scrutiny. Scary stuff.
Good stuff by Magnum Opus	Mar 21st, 2008 10:30:27 AM
Pretty entertaining. That robo-goat looks incredibly useful for sneaking up on deaf people, "WRRREEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR"
Well.. by micturatingbenjamin	Mar 21st, 2008 10:45:24 AM
That's horrifying. Now I know why Sarah Connor kills people. The maddening buzz, and the weird walk...This is nightmare inducing madness on crunky legs.
Video #4 by DarthLegsy	Mar 21st, 2008 10:50:32 AM
Only got as far as #4 so far but its clrearly the sarah chronicles rather than the film - an email address flashes up (too fast to see) then the message THE TURK IS NOT BAD...
Video #4 by DarthLegsy	Mar 21st, 2008 10:53:11 AM
...oops it seems to say THE TURK IS NOT DEAD...
State of the Terminator Union by The Bandit	Mar 21st, 2008 11:07:31 AM
First, yeah T3 wasnt all that great, but its better than the new show. That being said I dont get the complete hate on T3 and the big love of SCC, but to each his own. As for T4, despite the involvement of Bale (which is giving people hope that its not going to blow goat) I'm betting its still gonna blow goat. Lastly that 'pack-mule' robot was cool as hell and yet very very disturbing.

It'd be stupid not to bring SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES back by Halloween68	Mar 21st, 2008 11:17:44 AM
It was hands down the best new show on TV next to, I hate to say it as much I can't stand its creator, REAPER. It was actually better than LOST has been this past season. I can't imagine it won't be back for at least two to three more seasons. Look how long ALIAS was around. This is a similar show, budget wise.

It must be the TV series by aversiontherapy2	Mar 21st, 2008 11:26:18 AM
If it was for the film they would have spent a little more money on the effects.
That robot vid by SlickyVonBoner	Mar 21st, 2008 11:37:24 AM
Was sweet. Keeping its footing on that ice was amazing... Sara Conner now needs to execute the lead designers and blow up their lab to but a stop to judgement day.
A little late... by Mr. Love	Mar 21st, 2008 11:41:22 AM
This was an ARG that ran for a few months, and just ended. It was fun, though.

The EniTechLabs Site by CapnPower	Mar 21st, 2008 12:04:31 PM
Strangly enough the site was actually launched a week or two before the series premiered. Since the series has went on hiatus, the updates for EniTech Labs have stopped. This IS a viral site tied into the series and not the T4 movie.
Wow.. by seniorspeilbergio	Mar 21st, 2008 12:13:21 PM
Could not give a shit less about that Terminator show but that robot was fucking awesome. They need to make a Mars probe out of that fucker.

on the comments for the last video somebody called Merrick from AICN a cunt...lol i guess SkyNet doesnt want u reporting on this
"because if this was real I have a feeling it would be all over by samsquanch	Mar 21st, 2008 12:57:23 PM
Could I have this guy's number? My cousin in Nigeria would like to use his bank account to hold his millions of dollars for a short time. That walker will now haunt my dreams. It is amazing technology, particularly how closely it resembles the natural movement of a real animal, more than one would expect a machine to move. But why does it also have to conjure up feelings of deep, spiritual dread at the same time?
"All over the news", that is... by samsquanch	Mar 21st, 2008 12:58:01 PM
fix this!
the vids are all on youtube by ArcadianDS	Mar 21st, 2008 12:59:03 PM
in case you guys cant load the site. also they are some of the WORST acting I've ever seen, even by YOUTUBE standards. In one vid, they show us a 'future photograph' of a newspaper vending machine and it clearly shows a headline from the future. Then they show us a future photograph of a major city totally nuked and what is their response? "well we're still analyzing this photo" and "we'll be sure to get back to you when we can analize this more" and the stupid IT nerd in the back says "oh no, this system tells me that the data is totally way accurate and whatnot" And they're all matter-of-fact, monotone, and talking like even THEY know the video is just bad. It ends by saying, 'well we're still not sure what this image really means, but we'll be back again soon bye now." This makes the lonelygirl videos look like Citizen Kane.
Way to be waay behind the ball..AGAIN. by UMAGA	Mar 21st, 2008 01:03:49 PM
It's for SCC. I saw these videos when the show was still on.

They should of gotten the actors from the British Office by messi	Mar 21st, 2008 02:03:22 PM

Stellar Links Section - SCC WIKI & TerminatorFiles by TerminatorPodcast	Mar 21st, 2008 02:25:43 PM
There's a lot of great information at both of these sites, enough to last a TERMINATOR lifetime. Check them out when you can. http://sarahconnor.wetpaint.co m http://www.terminatorfiles.com The future is VERY bright for both the TSCC series, as well as the 4th film. Christian Bale being included adds a completely different element to what could EASILY become another smash, bash and money grab film. It's a great time to be a TERMINATOR fan.

That's not a robot peeps... by moobit	Mar 21st, 2008 06:56:19 PM
Men in suit! Men in suit!! ;-) If you look really closely (especially at the back "legs"), you can work out the ankle, leg, knee and lower torso (kinda top of the hips and below...) where he's bent over and inside robot body like the back of a pantomime horse… My inner Geek really hopes I’m wrong, but I don’t think I am in this case… oh well-I suppose we'll just have to wait for the bovines to take over the world instead... Cool vid though-kudos to the people that went to the trouble of making it!

I think this deals with the TV Show by JT - Redrum	Mar 21st, 2008 10:39:58 PM
In a couple of the clips...I deffinetly saw in clip the words on the screen "The Turk is not dead"....anyone else see this or was able to read the other things flashed on the screen?
JT-Redrum by Turd Furgeson	Mar 21st, 2008 11:23:31 PM
Yes, It says "The Turk is not dead" so this is for sure dealing with the TV show... Also, the terminator in the clip is not the one who lost his skin and got blown up in the TV show but another one. The site has a blog posting from a resistence fighter who said that terminator lost his skin in a fire battle and is now targeting the Enitech team.. I have been reading all the blogs.. A ton of work went into this and its incredibly creative stuff, check out the archives.

Best commentary on the robot video I've seen http://tinyurl.com/39a8zv
A wrinkle not mentioned yet... by Stunt Vocalist 709	Mar 22nd, 2008 02:27:54 AM
It's a safe bet that at least some of the comments below each of the Enitech videos are 'plants.' Faked up to start and add credibility to a debate about it. It's also a safe bet that there are a bunch of dim bulbs out there that bought into it as real. As far as the movies and television series, I've always admired T1 and T2 as a great overall story that didn't need any more sequels. I saw T3 only once and thought it sucked less than I expected it to. I'll want to see it again to really decide about it. The TSCC series has far surpassed my expectations. The story has me caring about how things will unfold. I like the casting, too. Yes, even B.A.G. Those of you who say he's ruined TSCC for you... well, serves you right for watching 90210 in the first place.
by darcknyght	Mar 22nd, 2008 06:38:56 AM
Just before the Turk is not dead message is a message that flashes very quickly saying takebackthefuture@gmail.com which is a site for the show
Metal gear solid!?!?!?! by hoax345	Mar 22nd, 2008 09:22:27 AM
Doesn't that big dog remind anyone of one of the metal gear robots?? It's a Darpa project too for any fans of the first game. Even more freaky when you think about that!
Despite the Turk reference I think it's for the movie by performingmonkey	Mar 22nd, 2008 04:38:45 PM
They asked the SCC team if they could use it. They are collaborating.
It must be tied to TV show: "THE TURK IS NOT DEAD" by tubuku69	Mar 22nd, 2008 04:48:11 PM
Watching the EniTech videos, the one after the "incident" has a fade to black and for a fraction of an instant what appears an email address (can't pause on it yet) and then a sentence-after trial and error saw it: "THE TURK IS NOT DEAD"
Another flash message in the videos by tubuku69	Mar 22nd, 2008 04:55:49 PM
An email address appears just before "THE TURK IS NOT DEAD"-I couldn't get it to pause to see it, but someone on the site apparently did and wrote: I sent an email to takebackthefuture@gmail.com and they sent me email with numbers. 22 13 22 31 00 11 14 11 30 00 01 22 41 33 22 21 20 03 12 01 04 43 13 30 42 41 10 03 01 43 12 03 01 10 20 11 55 11 55 55 30 10 32 33 10 00 33 10 20 00 31 11 32 14 13 10 11 33 00 04 10 01 44 32 10 00 12 33 04 01 43 03 12 31 21 13 10 22 33 00 34 00 55 30 21 00 20 33 34 02 12 34 14 44 55 02 44 11 21 01 20 22 31 03 43 02 20 41 21 43 43 30 55 55 01 23 10 33 21 01 03 14 03 13 04 23 14 41 40 04 42 41 22 00 32 01 03 43 02 34 20 14 24 31 14 14 22 33 42 22 00 44 14 03 14 Can anyone break this code?
ARG Wiki that answers your questions by Pyloros	Mar 22nd, 2008 09:15:21 PM
If anyone is curious about the puzzles presented on the enitech site, this wiki explains everything. Looks like the reality game is over. A bit of an anti-climactic ending once you see the video after the last puzzle. http://terminator.wikibruce.co m/Home

All paradoxes and time travel issues aside, if you were a terminator sent back to the past to insure the SkyNet future still happened... These cameras would be good for monitoring the future and making sure you're "on course" so to speak... Kind of like a "time compass."
Also by snowpuff	Mar 24th, 2008 07:06:53 PM
I like how the terminators inserting the secret email addresses in the video are careful not to include the “@” symbol. Terminators hate spam!
I doubt DARPA tech is 10 years ahead... by lynxpro	Mar 24th, 2008 10:11:42 PM
Seriously, does the Pentagon have secret semiconductor fab plants built underground churning out 5nm 100-core microprocessors and PC10000 RAM to boot? We're talking about the same US government that let American memory chip companies like Micron get hammered by the Japanese and Koreans and their subsidies and price fixing behavior simply because the US government nixed the IBM sponsored scheme to create the "US Memories" consortium back in the late 80s. If the US government had any design on being years ahead of the industry, it would have never allowed Intel to gain such a foothold on the industry because their chips blew compared to what Motorola offered prior to the Intel Core processor family 4 years ago. The Motorola 680x0 family of processors blew away the 8088, 8086, 80286, 80386, and the 80486, and that's from a family of chips that debuted in 1979. Intel's 8088 was designed to run Coke vending machines, not powerful computers...and that's what the industry got stuck around, all because the morons at IBM declared that the 68000 was too powerful for simple business tasks that the IBM PC was meant for. Their PC engineers are a pox upon the industry when one considers that the deceased Jay Miner, father of the Atari 2600 and the 400/800 computers, quit Atari because management did not want to fund him developing a computer based upon the 68000; he later went on to create the Amiga, which like the Apple Mac and the Atari ST, were all based upon the very 68000 chip at their debuts. Continuing, the Pentagon gets hacked by Chinese script kiddies on a daily basis, thus again, I doubt DARPA is 10 years ahead even if it is not running their shop on Microsoft software [which the Pentagon is; the NSA uses a lot of BSD, thankfully].
