This Week In Viral – Our First Viral Ends Dan Koelsch, March 15, 2009July 18, 2010 The Watchmen viral appears to be officially over, as noted by the elimination of its page from our site. This is the first viral we’ve covered at MoveViral to end, so this is an important moment for us. Check out the forum if you want to talk about your reaction to the film, and we have a few reviews on the main page, including our ViralCast Special. We’ll have a review of the viral itself soon. I guess I can’t continue to use titles claiming not much is going on in viral, because that’s going to get old really quick. A few viral updates after the jump… 2012 – Charlie Frost has a video explaining why he doesn’t think much of Nostradamus : Angels & Demons – Now this is interesting. One of new members, “lion”, was the first to give us the codes for the viral site. He explained that he found them on the official site, but I tried to find them and came up with nothing. Now he has posted a cryptic message:I must hurry I don’t have much time to write this, i’m being watched. You MUST help me save Robert, he is in grave danger. Look for the light where it should not be.Could be nothing, but staff writer Ian noted that there are flashes before some of the videos on the viral site. What could this all mean? Is he part of the official viral, or is he just pulling our leg? Those have been his only posts, so who knows if or when we’ll find out. That’s it for this week’s TWIV. As always, our staff can only cover a fraction of the news, so to keep up-to-date, go to our Official Forum. Keep searching for viral, you never know where you’ll catch it.
