While some of you have been following this campaign for a week or so, it's only today that we're finding out for sure that it's all tied to the gaming group, as Tuffcub from thesixthaxis has successfully sleuthed out. As it turns out, one of the graffiti photos posted this week was taken near this fellow's home, and upon closer inspection he found that it wasn't graffiti at all, but one big hoax.

, Jan 11th 2012 Discuss [2]

If you're aware of Ecko Unlimited, you know they're apt to making clothing that's aimed at the streetwear crowd, tending especially to those who love graffiti - this has translated rather enticingly, it would seem, to the tech and audio world with their new "Spray" bluetooth speaker. This device is essentially the same size as a spraypaint can and brings blasts of audio to you through bluetooth from your mobile device.
