April 20, 2009 by Alex Billington <http://www.firstshowing.net/author/admin/> [image: Terminator Salvation Resistance 2018]<http://www.firstshowing.net/2009/04/20/sony-launches-terminator-salvation-twitter-viral-game/> Sony is trying to take twitter to the next level. The studio has launched a viral game for *Terminator Salvation* called *Resistance 2018* that involves users on twitter <http://twitter.com/Resistance2018> joining various resistance squadrons in order to fight the machines. I don't think I need to remind anyone that *Terminator Salvation* is about John Connor and the resistance he leads against SkyNet. So far we've seen a little bit of viral marketing for Terminator, but oddly this has nothing to do with that SkyNet Research<http://www.firstshowing.net/2009/03/24/resist-or-be-terminated-skynet-research-viral-updates/>stuff. Sony is distributing this internationally, and this is a Sony viral campaign, and that SkyNet Research is a Warner Brothers thing. If you want to play the viral game, which if you're reading this far in, you probably do, then go visit twitter.com/Resistance2018 and follow the account with your own twitter. From there, visit the website Resistance2018.com<http://www.resistance2018.com/>where you can login with your twitter credentials again and read the instructions on how to play. The basic premise is that as a member of the human resistance, you follow out orders that are tweeted out on twitter and you gain *points* by doing so. The more points you get, the more opportunities you have, including the ability to join various squadrons<http://www.resistance2018.com/squadrons.php>, like John Connor's Squadron. There are various assignments and messages that apparently will be tweeted out by Resistance2018 <http://twitter.com/Resistance2018> with coding as follows: *RA* (Resistance Assignments), *WM* (Word Mix), *TR* (Trivia), *PT*(Partial Transmission), *SW* (SkyNet Warnings), and so on. In essence, it's a mass multiplayer online viral game coordinated entirely via twitter. *This is the first time any studio has ever done anything like this* and I'm curious to see how it works and if enough people participate to actually make it exciting. I've joined and will be play as much as I can (follow me on twitter<http://twitter.com/firstshowing>) and I hope everyone else looking for a fun viral game join as well. kembalinya text based adventure, tapi sekarang 160 char text based adventure -- Q Emo Philips <http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/e/emo_philips.html> - "I got some new underwear the other day.
