Well, it is a "Banner for 2004" and a teaser according to the URL of that picture. So, we can infer that... it is supposed to tease us. It took me many a year to perfect this reasoning, really. Don't try it at home.
I am interested in knowing what sort of game it is too. I suspect it is... well...

It has been bothering me too. Yes, I had to tell the world this. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

My guess from the picture and the name would be some sort of role-playing game where you play the part of an aspiring singer. Sending out demos, playing the clubs, paying your dues, that sort of thing.
Could be interesting. Kind of like the simulations that come out every four years where you try to get elected president.

I think it has something to do with the new ForeSight RPG...
Which if I've read the press releases correctly sounds suspiciously vacuous in terms of actual game mechanics...

It has nothing to do with Foresight, but Geo is in the right neighborhood.

Actually, ForeSight is mechanics-thin, but not mechanics-lacking. Better stated, it's not rules-heavy. Obviously, there's going to be a tradeoff between realism and ease, but I think ForeSight does a pretty good job of it.

OK, sorry to poke fun at the game then... presumably you're one of the developers or beta testers?

Meh. Poking fun is fine, just want to clarify that it's actually pretty viable and not GURPS http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

I was just on my way here to post about the same thing.....
I'd inferred it might have something to do with singing/stardom, that woman looks suspiciously like Anastacia.
