Life Preserving Information Page Updated - Radiogirl Posts High Score


There was a new update to the Life Preserving Information page on the FunAndPrettyThings website.
RADIOGIRL, YOU’RE THERE! I CAN SEE THAT YOU’RE USING THE SIMULATOR. I WAS BEGINNING TO WORRY THAT YOU REALLY HADN’T SEEN ANY OF MY MESSAGES. BUT NOW THAT I KNOW YOU’RE LISTENING, I’M NOT GOING TO REST UNTIL I KNOW YOU’RE PREPARED.

I KNOW THAT YOU’RE SEEING SOME WEIRD RESULTS IN THE SIMULATOR. I MAY HAVE TO TAKE IT OFFLINE IF I CAN’T FIX IT, BUT I HOPE IT DOESN’T COME TO THAT. THERE’S NO TIME TO WASTE, AND THE SIMULATOR IS GOING TO TEACH YOU SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT.
If you run the simulator, and pull up the stats, you will see an entry for Radiogirl, which this latest message from Howard confirms.

The "weird results" Howard mentions is probably from people at Reddit hacking the game. I guess this is a subtle warning that Howard may take the game down if that continues...

UPDATE: according to one of the Reddit hackers the game "has been updated and the exploit that allowed for people to send in fake scores and messages has been fixed."

  1. I really hope it doesn't get taken down (or at least someone saves it and spreads it around),i'm having a blast with this simulation, naming inhabitants after friends and video game characters. I have yet to run a simulation with the cast of the first film as inhabitants.

  2. Strange though that one of the names is Teddy who is the guy that lived in ny and went missing before the monster went on shore

    1. It's probably someone just putting their name as that, though it'd be intruiging if Missing Teddy was still alive somehow...

  3. If you can get a high score, you can put whatever name you want, including "Radiogirl". The only way we know that entry is legitimate (or what they wanted us to do) is because Howard commented about it.

  4. Fun simulation. I made it 325 days my first try. I ran out of fuel, and my moral plummeted when something tried to get in the bunker.
