We are happy to bring you the finest in rare
and unedited interviews, with people you know
and love in the community.
December 6th was a big day in the guysguise.com
office. We were standing around, as we usually
do, when all of a sudden a well-built, strapping
mountain of a man walked in and sat down in the
reception area. Thinking it was Immigration, we
got our writer James Corgan to hide in the broom
closet (Corgan is a Canadian here illegally on
a tourist visa... er, we mean Corgan is a really
nice guy). But it wasn't Immigration at all. It
was Sean Stacey.

Welcome, mr.
stewart, to our interview today. Our first
question concerns the input you had into the
wildly popular ARG, dubbed "The Beast."
Was this an enjoyable experience for you? |
| stacey: |
Ummm, I think you're thinking of a different
Sean. Although I did have fun with the Beast. |
| gg.com: |
No, I'm pretty sure we've
got the right one... please, no need to be
shy sir... it was a huge success! |
| stacey: |
Well okay, thanks. It was an enormous effort
on my part and you obviously recognize my
superiority. Feel free to send money. |
| gg.com |
Good stuff... um, oh right,
the Stewart interview is on Wednesday... sorry,
Mr. Stacey, our mistake. |
| stacey: |
No problem. That doesn't let you off the
hook about the money though. |
| gg.com: |
Well... Mr. Stacey, as
a well-respected webmaster (unfiction.com),
is there ever a day where you sit back and
wonder about the future of the ARG community? |
| stacey: |
I've designated the 26th of January as that
day. In 2048. I'm hoping I make it. |
| gg.com: |
Right. Mr. Stacey, we
understand that there have been a number of
new members in the ARG community, some of
which who don't even know you exist. In one
sentence, tell them about you. |
| stacey: |
Dear new members: I exist, I am evil, and
I will destroy you all...have a nice day! |
| gg.com |
You are a regular in the
Internet Chat Relay (IRC) network... tell
us how you chose your "handle",
SpaceBass. Be sure to include the fact that
you stole it from another person please. |
| stacey: |
I prefer the term "beat down mercilessly
and robbed." |
| gg.com: |
Excellent. Mr. Stacey,
does it bother you that your site has been
the target of criticism in the past? |
| stacey: |
Not at all. In fact, I strive every day
to be worthy of more criticism than the last.
You know you've made it when people sell bumper
stickers that say your site sucks. |
| gg.com: |
On a related note, is
there any room for two websites in the vast
cyberworld that are dedicated to the destruction
of all things fictitious? |
| stacey: |
Clearly not. There can be only one. I vote
for analpleasure.com |
| gg.com: |
Are you looking forward
to any particular upcoming game, from the
ARG genre or otherwise? |
| stacey: |
Well, I was planning on getting a little
game of slap-and-tickle going later tonight.
Other than that, I'm definitely looking forward
to Chasing The Wish. Which, come to think
of it, could quite possibly be the same thing. |
| gg.com: |
We couldn't have gotten
a better response from Reverend Al Sharpton
himself. Now, we want to get to know the real
Sean Stacey a little better, so we're gonna
ask you a series of questions about your personal
side... Kenny G or Disturbd? |
| stacey: |
Electrostatic. |
| gg.com: |
Lacrosse or water polo? |
| stacey: |
Ultimate fighting. |
| gg.com: |
"Jebus!" or
"Oh my gosh!"? |
| stacey: |
Jesux. The only euphemism for profanity
that is also a popular linux distribution! |
| gg.com: |
The sound of the rain
falling gently on the side of a log cabin,
or jello wrestling in France? |
| stacey: |
Where in France? |
| gg.com: |
L'arc du Triomphe, of
course. |
| stacey: |
Also, how does rain fall on the side of
something? What dimension do you live in? |
| gg.com: |
Heaven or Alyssa Milano's
bedroom? |
| stacey: |
...... I thought these were choices. |
| gg.com: |
Hell or Rob Reiner's bedroom? |
| stacey: |
Alyssa Milano's bedroom. Errr, I mean "Hell." |
| gg.com |
And to close... is there
anything to the rumor that you will be collaborating
with VH1 to produce a web-based entertainment
show called "Behind the ARG"? |
| stacey: |
Yes, well obviously they released that information
prematurely. But the real question is, how
will you feel having your darkest secrets
plastered on VH1 as the show's premiere focus? |
| gg.com: |
i made my own bed... any
parting comments to the readers? |
| stacey: |
Please. Screw you, screw you, screw you,
you're cool, and screw you. I'm out. |
| gg.com: |
Well, we will let those
people know how you feel. And thanks for calling
me cool, that was nice. Thanks again for the
interview. |
| stacey: |
Don't ever call me again. |
