[Forum] Thomas Bender at the Central Park meetup

These 2 stills look like Bender. If someone already caught this, then I apologize...but I watched these videos when they were posted on youtube (many years ago) and never noticed that the guy who arrived AFTER the the 2 oddballs in red was Bender for sure.

Its funny that after 5 years, nobody realized that Thomas Bender was at the Central Park event. John = Thomas Bender

Sorry about that, I tried to merge it AND leave a ghost here - apparently that isn't possible. With that in mind however, please continue any discussion in the other thread . Thanks! :-)

I don't know how or why my last post got moved to this thread, but it being in the TIMM subforum was the point . I wanted users checking back on the old TIMM forum to easily find BSB. I'd appreciate if it got moved back to where it was...

The "pronunciationbook" 77-day countdown ended and this got released: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_HaMlLJ7Jk

Turns out pronunciationbook was an art project counting down to the release of Synydyne's new project. Bear Stearns Bravo is a FMV choose-your-own-adventure game by Synydyne. (It's probably gonna have some ARG elements along the way? There's an in-game social network kinda thing that I'm pretty sure is going to be very important.)

Since yesterday, thisismymilwaukee.com redirects to synydyne.com, which lists TIMM as a "previous project". The YouTube TIMM video has been removed. I guess TIMM is officially done now, and this is the "very long tail" Bakkila mentioned in that one email.

Anyway, I've played one chapter of BSB and it's extremely heavily inspired by TIMM. (Two characters are called Champion and Dynasty, an in-game "instructional video" features a shot of a fennel bulb on a table, someone said "ham bur ger", etc.) Also, the sense of humour and cheesy 90s-ness of it all reminds me a lot of TIMM. Everyone reading this should check it out.

[Forum] Movement at last?

I followed a trail of breadcrumbs from a sudden influx of views on a crappy TIMM related video I posted 5000 years ago to what appears to be a new and emerging ARG:

Apparently there is heavy speculation that this may be from our old friends responsible for TIMM, and maybe even connected somehow.

I hope Relia still has that damn Turkey, just in case...

I've only just stumbled on this whole thing and I'm trying to make sense of it all.

It's difficult to stitch everything together from scattered youtube videos and wiki articles, attempting to find the chronological order without much frame of reference.

I hope this is not too much to ask, but would anyone care to sit for a chat and help sort me out?

I've got questions. You do too, I see, but you're the ones with some answers.

I'll probably be checking this forum once a month every month until I die.

Here's a thought: since we know most of the actors involved and it's been several years, we could try asking them what TIMM was all about. Surely there's no harm in talking about it now.

Still checking back...still wishing we had answers. :(

I check back like once a year and bury myself in the game again (though not making progress). I still love it.

IMO, it was an art project with some mystery and playing around. I don't think it'll come back, but being an artistic creation, they may well revisit it for fun. Who knows.

Speaking up revisiting, I've updated the TIMM wiki and moved to a new server, because the old one was.. well.. a spam infested nightmare. Hopefully the updated one will remain much cleaner and informative.

Still lots of pages needing content though.

I check back here weekly for some sort of resolution, maybe one day.

Anyone else re-watch the video now and then for nostalgia or to look for something we may have missed?

This finally got me to sign up for Twitter! Doesn't seem like Synydyne wants followers but I sent a request just in case.
