apparently microsoft has started a new ad campaign, ourcolony.net. (similar to ilovebees.com)players have to form colonies and complete challenges to get points, and are rewarded with shots of the Xbox 2! i'm going to start a digitalpress colony, and anyone who wants to join can do so by logging into www.ourcolony.net and putting "play" in as the password, then click on the ant to get to the main site. once i have created the colony i'll post here with the password to get into it.

edit: okay, it has been done. go to "join an existing colony" and put in 95792117 as the team password.

I can't even log in. Am i doing something wrong, or am I just totally computer illiterate. Probably the latter of the two knowing me.

I joined don't get me wrong. But this website looks really unproffesional and I don't get why Microsoft would show the pictures to this website first.

Your memory is lost, your aura is high, your life within an inch, you have one weapon left to finish off the enemy what is it? If you read closely you should know the answer


??? ... and im supposed to know what that means??


also, Digital Press has 2 i's ... not one, so our colony is messed up

Teamxbox is a colony and has a high amount of points. I'm sure they will show us any findings. There's already a proto of the controller on there.

Hmm...it's interesting, but it's no I Love Bees.

Pyramid scheme vs incredibly involving and engrossing story.

Yup.

the blob on the front page is reminding me of Rover from the Prisoner way too much.

hmmmm.. I doubt this has anything to do with microsoft.. last I checked, microsoft is super secretive about their products.. I have a friend who is working on the new longhorn project.. He litterally cant say a word about any of the things he is working on or any specifics or he will be fired and sued... Seeing that this site doesnt have 1 microsoft banner, isnt the standard "xp blue" color or really has any reference to microsoft at all, I seriously doubt its authentic.

plus if they had this it would be a "http://ourcolony.microsoft.com" kind of link to it..

plus the author of the blog on the first page needs to go back to highschool lit and learn to write, (not that im much better.. but I dont have a multi-billion dollar company supposidly paying me to write blogs on their sites lol)..

ADDED:
p.s. check the news links for the xbox2 from any REAL site.. the only pics you will see of it are the dual g5 mac's that are used to develop games..

Well, real or not. I'm in this all the way. Am I reading it correctly, or are there 110 members in our colony now. If thats the case, then all I'm going to say is sweet! 8-)
