Listen: I know how crazy I sound!!!

That's why I didn't say all this days ago!

And, to be fair, there are more than enough game designers at Valve. They don't need 42 medias help they're likely not involved. I've just been researching this (and args in general over the last year for reasons) and there are a lot of very talented people affiliated with Valve that have kind of... Gone missing. Not just hired developers. Film makers, musicians, other artists. Just disappeared from the Internet around 2012. A level of secrecy for years that implies something BIG.

Even if Cloverield isn't directly related to the half life universe, it's possible Valve is helping BR. Their Portal ARG was INCREDIBLE. And involved some similar antiquated technology.

FYI It's being noted on Reddit that there is a Ham radio in the kitchen in the trailer that we only noticed on the past couple days. This sound file was uploaded 10 days ago. There also seems to be a bunch of other developments happening FAST.

Also interesting to note: the puzzle pieces came in boxes of ORANGE soda.

On top of that potential steam ARG seems to involve (puzzle) pieces of an larger image.

It's possible trolls are somehow combining things to drive Reddit (and ME) INSANE.

But there's also a loooooooot of weird coincedental stuff happening at once right now.

EDIT: Oooookaaay. I feel slightly better now that I'm not alone in my insanity. https://www.reddit.com/r/10cloverfieldlane/comments/42im73/follow_the_oranges/

Various people have stated they got puzzle pieces in other boxes too, not just the orange soda. Just saying...

So, I'm gonna post my secret source for this. One of things he has hinted to is that, whatever's happening, some of the bigger Valve Mods are involved.

Which would explain this: https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedetectives/comments/40k271/portal_2_abyss_might_be_having_a_arg_at_the_moment/
Which is what I thought of AS SOON AS I SAW "SOON"

https://www.reddit.com/user/getrealhh

They're either a troll with a long game...

Or...

Well...

Uhhhh... Gabe?

Guys.

Here we go.

Okay.

So I took the letters and numbers from the "Biography" portion of the G5MC page, put it into imgur. Got linked to a VERY cryptic image. Lightened the image, saw 3 letters overlaying one another.

Link to the Imgur album I edited to show the dark portions: http://imgur.com/a/MctHh

IF that wasn't weird enough, follow this.

The adjusted level on the image revealed a QR code. Said QR code linked to an IP which in turn linked to a page with text. The text on said IP reads: "Directing's the best art. Whenever I've directed something, there's this feeling of demnd and focus hat I like. And secondly, t means that you've gotten through all th writing stuff, ad the produing stuff, and casting, and prep, and all those stages that are seemingly ndless."

The removed letters spell "PATIENCE".

Someone traced the IP and found out where this page was posted from. Needless to say... The ARG has begun. Shocked

Is no one else suspicious of this whole G5MC lead? I want to believe, and I'll play along, but there doesn't seem to be any proof of this not being a gamejack kind of situation to me.

Unless the gamejacker happens to live in paris, I'm pretty sure we're onto at least a little something.

I've been following that QR code stuff on reddit -- hard to keep track of stuff there. For what it's worth, yes I am very suspicious of the G5MC lead.


But, if I understand it the first new set of alphanumerics from G5MC led to this:

http://imgur.com/em2Z512

Image title: "FfWe"

And that gave the QR code/IP address/"Patience"

But what about http://imgur.com/Tgi7g5M ? That doesn't seem to exist.


Also, going back to the FfWe image -- if you open it up in TextEdit, there is the following near the top:

Code:
IHDR��   ��ÿ���'o‚ó���gAMA�ÈJ*aÁ��˙iCold Elf Rev I - cAlL Me��8Àc``û‡Ë‚‰ $¿¿PPTR‰‰•¿~ûÅçÅô



We're supposed to call him?

Edit: sorry special characters in binary not showing.

Edit2: The three letters in the lightened up image with the QR code look like "XOR" --perhaps Exclusive OR

I do not know much about XOR, however my limited grasp of it tells me that one thing must be true and the other false for a true output. The question is: What is true and what is false, exactly?

Re: Hazmat barrel

Ednanight wrote:
As a few have mentioned here the three actors standing around a "hazmat barrel" however after reading the entire thread no one has really elaborated on this barrel's true identity. Some have said liquid nitrogen that may contain one of the parasites. I researched the hazmat warning sign sticker and I believe it is a Oxidizer warning label.
Now I'm no "chemist" but why would JG have a 55 gallon barrel of an oxidizing agent in a fallout shelter? Oxidizers are usually quite flammable....not the best thing to have in a underground locked down shelter.
Would a rubber glove protect you from liquid nitrogen? I don't think so. It's not liquid nitrogen. The barrel seems plastic. Any ideas.

Thanks for moving!


My shot: Sodium permanganate:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_permanganate

"It is gaining popularity in water treatment for taste, odor, and zebra mussel control."

Something dead might be in there.

A guess would be that a xor only works in odds not evens and the wiki on a xor shows examples of overlapping items, so possible there's 2 items that need to be combined to give a 3rd item with things from both

So try combining the 2 clip trailers into the same time span? Or the Cloverfield poster with the 10cl one? Ideas that i can't do myself
