Wake Up and Give a Shit!

It was a sad day when the hype from the Nine Inch Nails ARG died down; a whole fanbase was left without a purpose. Desperate to rekindle the excitement of the ARG, the fans resorted to spotting “clues” in everything. Trent Reznor’s posts on the nin.com blog were subjected to constant scrutiny as fans picked apart his words in the hopes of finding a link to a secret website or at least some evidence that the ARG had been revived. With the release of the band’s most recent album, The Slip, which included some rather suspicious artwork, fans tried frenetically to piece together the mysterious “glyphs” accompanying each song in a bid to see the bigger picture… In the end, however, it became obvious that there just wasn’t a bigger picture to be found. The ARG was truly over.

Now, however, a new ARG is upon us… #RSARG.
