About us...

Guysguise was born in April, 2002. It was at that time that founder James Ingrahausen was heavily addicted to crack cocaine. No, wait, that was the other James in the office. No, James Ingrahausen was addicted to a new genre of gaming called Alternate Reality Gaming. The taste of the month in the ARG was the fantastic LockJaw, a revolutionary masterpiece which included many well-managed websites. one of these sites was grrl-e-grrl, which was actually a tool for people playing the game. However, rather than take it for what it was, Ingrahausen decided to mirror it. Thus, Guysguise was born.

In the summer months, Guysguise partnered up with another fledgling site, jadedmedia. No one in the Guysguise organization would like to talk about the dark period when jadedmedia entered the scene, but let's just say it wasn't pretty. Eventually, jadedmedia became the official mirror for Guysguise, as there was doubt as to the future of this site.

But even as the indecision loomed over the tiny collection of writers and web designers, a ray of light appeared and it was as though Jon Lovitz himself had appeared in the flesh. Ingrahausen, still an active editor-in-chief, decided take back what was rightfully his, and the silliness of having two sites for the same purpose was over.

And then, the good luck streak continued. a partnership surfaced on November 18, 2002, and the ARGN was reborn. Seven sites made clear that they were going to stand together for the players and fans of ARG. Seven sites made clear that they were prepared to team up as collaborators, as writers, as valedictorians of their high school classes, and band together to provide a collaborative and resourceful network for the people they knew and loved. How guysguise ever got into this group is still a mystery, but with that news, James Ingrahausen knew what the site had to become -- a pay-for-access ARG community.

Now, of course Ingrahausen was off his rocker, because that isn't what the people need. So, Guysguise became the funny bone for the network, the onion of the ARG community. In its current configuration, it provides readers with a humorous view at the world and at the genre, and will continue to fulfill this need until laughing becomes against the law (2004 in Canada, 2006 internationally).

Ingrahausen has since left his position as editor-in-chief. Instead, he has chosen to take on the role of media consultant, and will continue to watch from above as Guysguise strives for greatness. With that being said, let us introduce you to our team:
