Syracuse isn't a hotbed for much activity in my mind, save for abolitionism, and it's not like we have much need for that right now, do we? So, I was rather surprised to hear that EA has its mysterious street team out and about at Syracuse University, placing "Wanted" flyers around campus, asking for the capture of Faith.
The flyers went up along our campus quad, where just about everyone has to cross at some point of the day. They're essentially just pieces of glossy paper taped down to the sidewalk, and I couldn't find any posters hanging in buildings or attached to light poles.
You can check out a few more photos of the flyer down in the gallery below. Check your local campus, college students (and I know you're on here instead of in class): Where are the Mirror's Edge flyers?

But why?
Look at everyone while walking around campus. They aren't looking at people, that way you have to stop and chat. Most people are looking at the ground, walking as quick as possible to their next class. Hence, ads on sidewalks.
Well, the way I see it, they could have posted it in a more believable place.
All the people who have never heard of the game might just assume it's a joke and not look into it. If it were posted on a pole somewhere, it might be taken more seriously and investigated.
True, but this is more of a wink wink for the people who do know, or at least have heard of it. I know where I graduated from the sidewalks were covered, because that IS what got attention. Very little was on trees or boards, and if there was one copy there, there were at least five on the sidewalks around that same posting.
Here in Mexico..not much videogame marketing.
I live in Syracuse and I can tell you 1) Dino rules. Never forget that. 2) Media Play has been closed for a while, but I used to love shopping there for games 3) Oakwood Cemetery is creepy as hell. You're nuts for having done that and it's awesome. 4) Lost Horizon reopened after a period of years where it changed ownership/names and was generally stupid. Now it's less dive-y but still attracts good crowds for shows.
Did you see the Pac-Man cosplayers near the Dome two days ago?
