I just can't call if I know I'm going to have to leave a message (or sometime, even if it's only a risk). It stresses me out. Even if they were handing free dates with all the staff to everyone who calls I wouldn't be able to do it.

But everyone else, please do! You ight get something from it. And even if you don't, maybe they'll keep the messages and use them for something so we can all hear them!

Hassat Hunter · 05/14/2010, 06:48 am

Well, that's not much work is it?

EDIT:
^ Maybe we get to hear them as answers to Sam's phone calls the whole season ;P.

when they enter to the toy store? I was thinking about that!

Hassat Hunter · 05/14/2010, 07:24 am

Or, like GTA IV, we get constantly called...
But then by creepy TTG fans instead of Roman.

Oooh, maybe there is an answering machine in the toy store and when you listen to messages you get those left by forumites.

I have it! The PC version will have a new bonus thing on 5/16, hence the 516 vision.

It's just the area code in the phone number, 516-847-4661 (516-VIS-ION-1).

OR SO IT WOULD SEEM o_O

I was thinking there would be a treasure hunt, too.

The Egyptian-y

theme The Tomb of Sammun-Mak and the pharaoh's treasure exhibit combined with the words "coming soon" seem to validate the rumor.

I guess we'll find out soon enough

You meant their "pharoah" treasure?

I'm still wondering if it's a mistake they made or a pun I'm not getting.

I think it was a deliberate mistake

TTG seems to take pleasure in torturing us with their wonderfully annoying clues. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Hassat Hunter · 05/14/2010, 10:21 am

Coming soon probably means we go there. 303 most likely... if not already in 302.

GinnyN · 05/14/2010, 10:34 am

I just notice I can do a free sample call using Skype, and, for some reason, appears the number is not avaiable. What's up?

It does ruin everything, 5 minutes of thinking totally wasted.

It's still better than not think. Train neurons

Well, if we do get something for calling, at least I've owned up to "Have you checked the baby?" That said, I doubt it. I think the main purpose of the phone number was to point us to 516vision.com as part of the ARG, and the message-leaving capability was just for fun.

Now, what I've been wondering is where the phone number came from.

Vision because it's future vision, 516 because the store is located in New York in game and therefore in real life too?

*GuruGuru214* · 05/14/2010, 09:46 pm

No, I know that, I meant where the number was discovered. I didn't hear about a phone number until the thread was started.

Didero · 05/15/2010, 03:20 am

The 516 page was discovered by clicking on whatever Sam's holding on the Sam & Max page. The phone number comes from the ~~fake~~ commercials for FutureVision (I forgot where the other two are).
