Ah. I tried to look back in the thread to see but guess I looked past it.

I just did some quick analysis of each episode that has an irregular thumbnail and have noticed that every one has something odd going on in the audio.

15: At around 2:24 a very clear voice comes in briefly.
13: Where we found "gadsby/password123"
12: Has freaky bit at the end that is super loud. A super loud clip of something sandwiched between a text to speech voice saying something that sounds like "Brought to you by blob(?)". No idea what the loud thing is though.
11: Has a weird effect that sounds similar to the beginning of 13, but not seeing any message in the spectograph.
9: Various oddities. Clipping, a voice saying "help", random things reversed. Rider mail at the end is Summer from the space coast asking about the phone.


I removed the loud noise in 12 and raised the volume, it definitely says "Brought to you by Bob".

Do we know any Bob?

edit.

Actually, I listened to it again and now I hear "Blob".. I dunno.


Edit 2,

I went through the loud noise in the end as well,

I reversed it, cleaned it up and slowed it down and what came out was this.



Basically it sounds to me as if someone is speaking.

"Attention all ????, shinsta hovu??

@Irregular the message says something like "brought to you by time-travel.club"

I tried slowing down the louder portion and it definitely sounds like someone saying something.
"I won't resist such something something."
I'm having trouble understanding what he's saying, but here's the audio:


EDIT: "I have a message for Jim Crawford." I should have read back again.

I don't know if this is relevant but I cut out the lines in the thumbnails and tried to paste them together.


So far it hasn't really led to anything but the coloured lines seem to belong to the same picture. I dunno about the white lines, they don't seem to be connected.

Here it is, each line is 2 pixels wide and the pattern stretches past the "border" more times than it would had it been bý pure chance.

Ok, I am seeing lettering here.

I'm not seeing it. Confused

I definitely think those video thumbnails could be clues, but perhaps we don't have enough pieces to the puzzle yet. I still think the colored lines kind of look like SSTV noise, just vertical instead of horizontal.
Example:


I've tried playing several of the THD episodes into a SSTV decoder but haven't had much luck. I have like zero idea what I'm doing though, so I could just be doing it wrong?

EDIT: Just threw together a quick pastebin containing direct URLs to all of the currently suspected video thumbnails for anyone withing to poke around at them.

This is what I'm talking about.

Each stripe is two pixels wide, both colored stripes without a doubt belong together, they share so much with each other in coloration and lines it would be hard for me to say they'd not.

That it forms the letter A and maybe H could be completely by accident, and it's of course possible that this has nothing to do with the puzzle at all.

But I do agree with you that we probably missed something or haven't received all the parts of the puzzle for us to be able to solve this now.

Ah, when you take the color out it becomes a lot clearer.

I noticed that our friend Gadsby on the THD Wikia changed the name of Kitten Gains to Decay Truth. Did we ever figure out who this is? I saw earlier in the thread someone asked if they were from this forum and nobody owned up to it. They edited the page title and had the note of "The truth must be known he can not be trusted)".

Edit: In episode 213 of Video Games Hot Dog, Jim said that the speeding up of podcast recordings without altering the pitch is "an ongoing area of research" of his.

It just dawned on me that it seems we still haven't figured out the meaning of the "0451" from the Kickstarter video.

Well, I tried to log in with dwayne/0451 which would have been fitting but no dice.

I do think we missed something, there has been a lot of content recently that have seemed to lead nowhere in particular.

Also what was the deal with the cat picture, that had to be important somehow.

Norgg found what the number was for on page 14.
0451 = 'zero four five one', which was the password for the encrypted files on the disks.
It does seem to make sense that Dwayne would be the username since he's mentioned in both a rider mail and on the accesslevelalpha page.

I've tried the username dwayne on the beta login page with a lot of different suspected passwords and haven't had any luck.
