So it has been a while since I posted my last Tron Legacy / Flynn Lives update. A week or so ago there was a flurry of new activity as several new clues were leaked in the viral campaign being produce by 43 Entertainment in support of the upcoming TRON sequel. New posts within the fictitional message boards on Flynn Lives led loyal Flynn enthusiasts on a search for Kevin Flynn's son Sam, who apparently had dissapeared after his parachuting stunt during the Encom International Press Conference in April. Clues eventually led to Brazil where Sam was said to study the martial art capoeira. This led to a locker and a video of sam at his dojo and some additional clues, which in turn led followers to find a countdown clock for the release of Space Paranoids online. By clicking on the recognizers with your mouse, you could blow them up. Doing so 100 times earned a "Time Killer" badge. Having the patience and index finger dexterity to blow up 999 recognizers earned a "Overkill" badge. The big suprise came today when I arrived home after work and found a small manilla envelope in the mail containing some pretty cool Flynn Lives SWAG, including a "89" pin (Sam Flynn's personal insignia), a "Space Paranoids" pin, two "89" stickers and two notes saying "Thanks for helping us track down Sam Flynn in Rio Fiamente. Show your support" and "999 You are a recognizer killing machine!".

I am looking forward to what the folks at 43 E have in store next for this very cool viral marketing campaign. To stay on top of everything related to Flynn Lives, be sure to check out the Unfiction - Flynn Lives forums regularly for updates.

This looks like so much fun! I'm eager to see the new movie as was a big fan of the first.
