In case any of you have missed this today, apparently several sites have been given a little source code face lift today from someone associated with the game (to be released on Tuesday). The pics (below) are found by simply viewing the source code on the front page of Digg, IGN, Gamespot/Kotaku, Daily Motion, Games Radar, and WWE. Each piece of ASCII artwork contains a password and a link to this site: http://hellisnigh.com/ .
I’ve entered all of the passwords from each of the pieces and received a download titled “Earthly Rewards”. In the download you can find each of the ASCII files, several posters, wallpapers, game music, and a concept artbook for the game (which is actually pretty decent).
The passwords are as follows:
Password # 1: excommunicate (Digg)
Password # 2: scythe (IGN)
Password # 3: grafter (GameSpot/Kotaku)
Password # 4: styx (Daily Motion)
Password # 5: unbaptized (Games Radar)
Password # 6: alighieri (WWE)
Here are the ASCII Pics:
What do you guys think?

Some pretty cool stuff in there. I threw the passwords in and got all of that, and I must say it’s pretty nifty, overall.
I considered using one of their wallpapers, but decided against it. Still, some stuff worth checking out, if only because it’s free.

The game is actually getting decent reviews thus far. I hope it does well because the marketing stuff has been cracking me up. If they have this badass of a marketing campaign coupled with a sweet game to follow it up, I bet we’ll be soing some other sweet marketing ideas from EA in the near future.

Interesting stuff. Thanks for the heads up! And I agree, ASCII graphics are the Devil.
