 		Nice, ComputerGuide! Both the username & the password are encrypted in the vid. Too impatient to catch the 2nd I guessed and got lucky on the password.
Username & Password
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Username is ROT13 for "Discover" and the Password is "Truth" Both are case sensitive.

ETA: The encryption type for the password is exactly the same as for the username. Just me being thorough Smile

 		Couldn't find anything in the source code of the website, and I couldn't find any missing text. Looks like a good time for some stenography!

ETA: Thought I could be a LOT more thorough in my analysis. So, here we go!

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Most of these pictures seem harmless so far, but I've only just started diving into them. Page 5 is hiding what looks to be a YouTube URL. Page 4 just says "Nothing?" and so far, that seems to be the case. Page 6 has this little spiel:

Chapter 2: The Big Secret of Dealing with People

Almost every normal adult wants:
1. Health
2. Food
3. Sleep
4. Money
5. ???
6. Sex
7. Well-being of our children
8. A feeling of importance

Followed by a place to put in your name, email, and a "message." This is from a Dale Carnegie book (How To Win Friends and Influence People), and the fifth answer is "Life in the Hereafter." I'll email that answer to them, and I'll let you know what I hear back.

 		Not sure if this is connected or not, but...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I Googled 'Almost every normal adult wants' and the top link was for a Google Plus account (https://plus.google.com/wm/2/se/1/112313150013517025251/posts/dS2gtjPqXBR)

This has only made one post (but as this was back in March I'm not sure it's part of the ARG) which also contains a link to http://www.1.se/

Edit - The text on this page looks Swedish (or similar) and translates to 'This page is under construction', but the Google Plus link said 6.se while redirecting to 1.se so I'm still undecided.

I did a google search of what is visible in the pic, and found this

Will take a closer look when I have a few free minutes

 		Looks as though this leads to all of the answers with none of the solving. If you want to get right to the end-game, that link will help you out; if not, it seems like we're on the exact right track to get there. Spoilers for those of you who want the solution now:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Looks like there is going to be either a dead drop or a fan meeting at a park in Pennsylvania on the 19th. I'm guessing a fan meeting, given that this ARG is self-described by the PM as being fairly short. Hopefully at least a few of us can make it! I'm in Nebraska, so that's.......a bit of a drive for me. Rolling Eyes Oh well!
