Coming over from Polygon and reading through the thread, the word snarfblat caught my attention. As everyone knows, Jim Crawford has been doing video games hot dog with the dev team from Kingdom of Loathing. The main adventure link in KOL (triggers all battles, etc) is

http://www.kingdomofloathing.com/adventure.php?snarfblat=(some number) where the number represents the zone being adventured in. So it's possible that some number used in that link will take you to a related "zone" in KoL.

Hey guys, I am a total newbie that came here after the Polygon piece, so I apologize if anything I write is obvious or already known from previous searches.

I also noticed the comment from LordHuffnPuff and a quick google search finds the following results for the number posted:

1) a directory entry for a "Bernard Prescott W San Fernando Rd Los Angeles California 213-631-3764" on http://hodges-directory.us/directory.php?q=467j-213-631-5512-Los-Angeles-California-Beverly-Blvd

2) a few complaints of annoying calls from the number at http://phpublicsearch.com/who-own-213-631-3764.html

Also, these are the 2 most recent tweets after retweeting the Polygon piece:

"I've always wanted to be in a @Polygon article so now I can die happy"

and

"I don't know what's more fun, setting up spooky mysteries or watching people as they try and figure out what's going on."

I'll try and transcribe the voicemail as best I can:

"This is Resistancy Agent 3764, Lt. Samuel. I'm probably out on a mission protecting the remnants of our species or maybe training new recruits, but leave a message and I'll get back to you if I'm not dead or enslaved!"

Something like that.

http://www.kingdomofloathing.com/adventure.php?snarfblat=3764 doesn't seem to lead to anything for me.

The new users don't stop flowing. Hello, I've read everything up to now to ensure I'm up to date on everything etc.

Now, onto business; there's a couple of things which feel as if something is gonna refer back to it at some point or that we missed something in it. Specifically, the original kickstarter video but also kernal.png? Idk, it could totally just be my mind thinking way too deeply but it doesn't seem right that both of those two are just "done".

Also, new Train Hot Dog. It's 2 minutes long, he talks about Blini (russian crepes). Spectrogram for those who can read those is attached. Doesn't seem to be a wikia page yet.

New info?

Not in on this whole thing, but did anybody mention that if you click on LordHuffnPuff's account it says "shademan.exe@gmail.com" in the description?

Haven't emailed it or anything, scared to receive valuable info. Anyway.

Cool, we definitely need a log in for this guy at time-travel.club

we currently have number six/revolution and herbie/screamed but none for samuel afaik.

Also someone should probably leave a message.

[edit]
maybe it's nothing but this guy
https://twitter.com/mightbeadream
at first glance it doesn't seem relevant.

has the same profile picture as huffnpuff used. Does anyone know where that is from?

How long is it usually before an episode transcript goes up on the THD wikia? There still isn't one for the newest episode, which makes me think that the episode number (32) and blini/blintze is related to something somewhere...

edit: never try posting from your phone unless youre into having painful headaches from trying to make things cooperate Mad

failing to see how this phosphenes channel is related but then again I'm not viewing it with sound due to being in public at the moment. the comments have managed to crack pretty much all the codes in the videos apart from 'color' and so far there's nothing which points out that it's part of this ARG

EDIT: yeah, no please dont post about unrelated things like this. just watched them again with sound and theres 0 relevance, on top of that you also posted a separate thread on it.

anyway, has anyone else figured something out RE: the lack of episode transcript for the latest THD yet?

hmm, I tried shademan.exe / 3764 on the access level alpha/beta site with no success, but it might be a username?

[edit]
Anyway it seem like shademan.exe is not a email set up for the ARG as it has been used before http://forums.kingdomofloathing.com/vb/archive/index.php/t-164860.html

For THD31 it took ~1 day, for THD30 - even less than that. The strange thing is - it looks like THD31's page was added by some unlogined guy, according to http://trainhotdog.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WikiActivity. I dunno, maybe that's Jim, because after looking up that IP, those weird "trace IP" websites showed Oakland, which is really close to Berkeley.

• TT Operation 1965 - M. BRADLEY.
• Operation B.R.E.A.D.
This is a current assignment.

Episode 26 – Extrinsic Blood Coagulation Cascade.
The theme is the body. The game is: Operation.

Recipe:
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 cup 125 grams diced onion
1/2 cup 125 grams diced celery
6 porkloin ribchops
engrave 1.5" 3.7 cm thick set
1 cup 250 grams diced dried waaaaan bread
1 avenue apple peeled cored and dice.

This recipe looks like a game board. We are playing Operation. There are three parts in the board game that are relevant here. The spare rib, the adam's apple and the bread basket. We are required to remove them. (or something)

The rib looks to be spare. A pork cut is not generally known as a "pork loin rib chop". It's awkward. Out of place. It's either a loin OR a rib chop.

There are four out of place words in the monologue. Engrave after ribchops (and before 1.5, ref: Tunisia code 615? 6 before Porkloin), waaaan before bread and avenue before apple. The last is where the word dice is said instead of diced. A board game ref, I believe

And dice = And PLAY.

Avenue can link to referencing the throat. Waaaaan – meh not too sure on that one. Perhaps Jim wasn't either. Sometimes whatevertf will do.

I only found FF a few days ago for the first time. I have stuffed my head to maximum, and the emergent properties are quite something. Loving it.
Has anyone analysed the audio in this particular hot dog? I don't have skills in that area. Anyone?
