Boy, did IGN phone in that article or what? The viral site is utterly unique among gaming sites, and the best they can do is, "We got something in the mail, but it's old news (how can it be "old news" if they've never commented on it before??), if you want to find out, go to their forum. Oh, and here's a few blurry pics."

Since the viral site is practically a game in itself (and has started producing FREE prizes), you'd think IGN and the other gaming "news" sites would have done a shred of reporting and talked about it before now. I think I'd be a little ticked if I was a loyal reader at one of these sites and only learned about the viral site after it was all over.

I think it's the same type of stuff they've been sending to people who sent letters to Meltzers address.

That is so incredibly amazing! I guess we can safely assume that the only promotional material that people will be receiving are the two Little Sister drawings. The signed letter by Mark Meltzer looks pretty cool too. Has anyone received one yet?

I remember seeing a picture someone posted in the Something in the sea discussion thread where they had been sent the drawing of the Big Sister and the two girls, don't remember who though.

Yes, Don, fans have posted pics of both the crayon drawing with the Big Daddy and the chain of Little Sisters. Both have been sent out as prizes. I believe one or two people received the BD pic and at least 3 got the chain of LS. People get one or the other but not both.

I don't know if anyone got the letter. I think that was created specifically for IGN since the package was being sent to them "cold". Without the letter, they wouldn't know what the heck it was.
