Lost's newest ARG goes live

Knowing their fan base, the guys over at Lost begun their third alternative reality game called the Dharma Initiative Recruiting Project. At a minimum, it gives us Lost fans something that is connected to the show while we wait another 5 months for season and along the way we get some show clues, which is what we really want. In this year's ARG, the Dharma [Department of Heuristics And Research on Material Applications Initiative]Initiative is recruiting new members to join their exploration into fields such as meteorology, psychology, parapsychology, zoology, electromagnetism, and Utopian socialology. As a tie into the game and as a bridge from season 4 to season 5, the following video was leaked during/after Comic-Con:



The video shows a transmission from 30 years ago by Dr. Pierre Chang [who is also known as Dr. Marvin Candle, Dr. Mark Wickmund and Dr. Edgar Halliwax from other orientation videos] who has knownledge of current events as well as those to come - like The Purge, which from his perspective will happen in about 14 years from the time he broadcast this video. He also urges that the DHARMA Initiative be reconstituted to finish the important work he and his colleagues had been engaged in which brings us back to the ARG. I can't wait to see where the games takes us and how it all ties back into Season 5.
