Worked for me yesterday ... today it is a bit slow to load ...

Anyhow for all who didn't keep tabs on the matter during the last 24h let me summize:

Appearently Interplay has secured the domain and set up a webpage and matching accounts on FB and twitter for "Black Isle Studios" ... nothing came down that line so far...
Meanwhile Chris Avellone and Brian Fargo have commented on the subject but both appeared to be suprised by Interplay's move...

(as the news outlets say:) more as the story develops...

Obsidian is Black Isle. This is just another Interplay stunt.

Now, if someone put up a Looking Glass website, I would flip out.
