They're crashing an Encom Press Conference which will be delivered by Alan Bradley (Bruce Boxleitner). Go and see the dude that played Tron, and get T-Shirts and be part of an awesome alternate reality event! :D DO IT GAF. TAKE PICTURES.
 
Special Limited Edition collectible for all attendees? FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU San Fran.

Well, if this is supposed to coincide with Wondercon, hopefully they'll do something in NYC in October during the NYCC.

YES! I'll be heading down there for sure, as it's just a few blocks from my office!

I'll be sure to take pictures...assuming I remember my camera. Otherwise, I'll most likely be posting from my iphone. :D
 
Currently outside the Hyatt Regency's Grand Ballroom with a packed crowd of Tron fans. Had to sign a NDA beforehand.

Taken some pics of Justin Herman Plaza and totally clear that something's happening.

Will post more when it happens!
 
Kevin Smith ran late so I couldn't make it out. I had my badge and a guest badge that they were handing out. I gave my friend the guest badge so maybe he saw something.
 
So event's over - they had to call it off mostly due to the weather (it was extremely windy).

Anyways, it was an event for an Encom "press conference". At the event, Alan Bradley announced the return of Space Paranoids (for online). Once his speech concluded, most of which was praising Kevin Flynn and his work - so this was totally legit. Suddenly, the stage was taken over by a bunch of people (it was the Flynn Lives group) that hijacked the stage and proceeded to force Encom to resume the search for Flynn, clear his name, credit him, etc. After order was restored, there was an Encom heicopter circling 'round the event and then a guy jumped out. Guy lands in the plaza where the crowd was gathered, but security grabs the guy. End event.

Basically, there was supposed to be more as they were filming the crowd and focusing on the guy who was most likely a stunt man. But because the way he came in for his landing, they had to call the event due to the extremely high winds in San Francisco (guy almost hit the stage in his descent).

Walked away with a poster, tshirt, two Space Paranoid pins and some claim codes for the Flynn Lives site.

Despite the event being called, it was awesome to see the Encom cast there, and yes, they were much older now. Bruce looked just like he did in the recent trailer, which was good for continuity.

...jeez this is a long iPhone pos so pardon any errorst. :lol
 
That is so damn awesome. Disney is really doing an awesome job marketing this movie. It's so nice to see the actors doing things like this. Bruce is the man.
 
The event itself was really fun, despite the wind and cold. Most of the people in attendance were straight from WonderCon, so they no doubt had all their stuff from the con. Myself? I came straight from work (complete with my backpack filled with stuff from that arrived from Amazon/mail as well :lol).

Would've loved it if 'Sam Flynn' had made his appearance, but considering how the stuntman nearly hit the stage due to the high winds? I don't blame them for cutting the event a little short.

What was the point of having the guy jump out of the helicoptor?
It was supposed to be Sam Flynn. My guess is that he was supposed to interrupt Alan's speech or something but due to the winds it didn't work out very well.
 
New development today. I just got a post card advertising a game called Vice Squad. On the back there is a black bar and hidden in this bar are blue pixels that you can only really see in the light. I'll post pictures a little later but after a cursory google search it appears that they sent out a number of different post cards each with a different group of pixels on the back.

Here's the pixel thing hidden on the back. Sorry for making a huge pic but it's pretty hard to take a picture of it

So the unfiction guys solved the postcard thing, which leads to encomgames.jp. You can play Circuit Cycles to win fabulous prizes achievements.

If you beat all the levels
you get an animated achievement that leads you to a countdown page, which ends sometime during Comic-con.
 
Any word on when the next trailer will hit? I'd have thought it would have been in front of either Toy Story 3 (didn't happen) or the Sorcerer's Apprentice, but clearly not...

I'm assuming on Comic-con.
 
Next phase of the ARG might lead to a new trailer.

Oh, and the last postcard that was sent had a sticker that mentions Flynn's Arcade being around during Comic-con again. Man, I hope they do something pretty awesome for NYCC. :\

I'm sure they'll show something to the Comic-Con attendees, yes, but I can't figure out what movie would actually be a good fit for a release to the general public.
 
The Flynn Lives site added a new level to the Arcade Aid puzzle game. It is a fun puzzle game, where you classic video games. I completed it and was mailed these last night! I can't wait for this movie!

Edit : These pins are the icons for the Lightcycle and Face-off games.
 
Did anyone else receive posters today? The mailman just dropped off two poster boxes and inside were posters of "Arcade Aid" along with a notice saying we were numbers 154 and 171 out of 999 to finish it. :D And going by the note, there will probably be more "Arcade Aid" in the future...

Sorry it's a bit blurry, I took it with my cell phone

We received our pins on Saturday, as well. I did not expect two different goodies from finishing it!
