That new footage is killer too. This movie is going to be fucking awesome.

JustThinking
Hello-first post- have wandered over from Twitterville- so please don't throw things!
I wondered if the Prometheus Bound clue could mean the ship bound out into space, and the edge of space clue meant to look at the second picture in that area- where sky meets stars.
I don't have any technical skill to find things like a single flickering pixel-anyone know how to check out the picture - or has it been done pretty much already?

I feel like a crackhead, fiending for a rock.
We need a good solid direction, ya hear me you viral marketeers out there?!
I have googled everything i can possibly think of dealing with the edge of space, i was sure that was the hot tip, but im thinking now it wasnt either.
Im gonna crack open another sierra nevada.
Who else is having a "drinking on the couch, trying to internet-sleuth prometheus hints" kinda friday night?

I think we all get your point, and by now you're being more than a little redundant. We all want this thing to move forward, but continuously saying something has to lead somewhere isn't going to make it so.
First movie that i've been interested in that actually has one of these and they basically screw it up from the start.
i'm thinking we have to click on the clickable things and get the right order or something?
I still don't know where else to go with this....
That's a bit harsh.
ARGs tend to be a bit more academically challenging than clicking on things. There will be a whole lot more to this than that. There already has been.
As just a casual follower of a few ARGs I'm confident "they" haven't screwed it all up (occasional typos and corrections notwithstanding), "they" are just revealing clues at a pace that requires a little patience, and an open mind.
Sorry perhaps I was a bit frustrated.
How about this lead then,
Looking at all the typos in the 2 modules, how about we take all the letters that were out of place and use those as a way to come up with a new URL?
That being said, that seems like poor game design if you can't find the originals. I have downloaded what are quite close to the first versions, but they've updated them numerous times.
Anyone have a copy of the webpage modules before any editing took place?
Or perhaps a list of all the edits that took place?
If they're beefing up their investor statistics that would seem to be a probable lead for a new URL?

So tonight after not seeing much promise for any new clues i decided to play around with the downloadable JPG's from the investors page and with screen captures of the investors page in its full.
i am using GIMP atm as my copy of photoshop doesnt seem to be available on the mythical shelf of my cloud so basic functions have been a bit complex [scaling mainly]
whilst i havent seen anything "amazingly tantalizing" or anything new i noticed that despite having the images and info graphics lined up perfectly the text is formatted [words on different lines of the site, styles, size?] differently in some places. this has made it hard to line up text to get an overlay comparison. My eyes have finely given up after scanning what looks like a bad 3d image for some time. Has anyone else tried similar? looks kinda dead to me...
Also i noticed the Downloadable JPG file has Smaller amounts of COBALT and YTTRIUM showing on its Resource Infographic/Barchart.
I pointed this out a couple days ago and posted an animated gif showing it.
The Yytrium value is way off.
And yes, the formatting between the two is a nightmare.

I forgot to add this interesting quote btw
Quote:
Promethium was first produced and characterized at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 1945 by the separation and analysis of the fission products of uranium fuel irradiated in a graphite reactor.
The discoverers proposed the name "prometheum" (the spelling was subsequently changed), derived from Prometheus, the Titan in Greek mythology, who stole fire from Mount Olympus and brought it down to mankind, to symbolize "both the daring and the possible misuse of mankind's intellect." However, a sample of the metal was made only in 1963.
It might be coincidence, but this mentions both Graphite and Promethium.
Promethium metal was made using a tantalum crucible, as well...

I'd keep following this and that other company Y U Ta Ni.
Very interesting. Also keep in mind that GRAPHITE has been incorrectly given the same number 147. Thanks Mr_White!

Tweets
Shouldn't the wiki include a list of the tweets that have gone out from legit in-game twitter accounts?
Some of these have had clues or "nudges" in them from the game directors, no?
Seems to me we should have these cataloged.

Hi all,
I've been a lurker since there were only 10 pages. I admire the amount of work and respect on these forums. Keep up the good work!
So, I've decided I'd post some information as well..
I've been looking into the number 147 (attached to Adamantime) and I found something that could be interesting.
Quote:
Promethium-147
Promethium-147 has a half-life of 2.62 years, and is a fission product produced in nuclear reactors via beta decay from neodymium-147. The isotopes 142Nd, 143Nd, 144Nd, 145Nd, 146Nd, 148Nd, and 150Nd are stable, so the isotopes of promethium with those masses cannot be produced by beta decay and therefore are not fission products in significant quantities. 149Pm and 151Pm have half-lives of only 53.08 and 28.40 hours, so are not found in spent nuclear fuel that has been cooled for months or years.
Promethium-147 is used as a beta radiation source and a radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) fuel; its power density is about 2 watts per gram. Mixed with a phosphor, it was used to illuminate Apollo Lunar Module electrical switch tips and painted on control panels of the Lunar Roving Vehicle.
