I anyone else looks at the http://www.lokigames.com, you will notice that the games all require Linux Computers, NOT Windows. Why would Microsoft send us to an open source software website.

found this link: http://www.wingnuttoons.com/list.html

it contains references to boo berry, voltron, and the grinch

tenuous at best.

apparently, they're all at wingnut toons though

maybe all the photoshoped stuff is a distraction. the truth brings revolation.

the truth could be somthing real, or true, and the revilation is us realizing that.
look at those stuffed animals. the seem a bit fishy.

"Phenomenology attempts to enable people to see clearly something that is right before their eyes but obscured; things that are so taken for granted that they are muted by abstract observation."

I think everyone is looking too much into this. If you take that quote from the front of the OBEYGIANT site as a clue, it's something that's right there in the open, but seems so natural that we're just skipping over it. Something about the wall, maybe, or the basket? I'm thinking maybe something in the picture that's not meant to stand out.

The toys I can identify are

Battleship Yamato from Starblazers
An unknown spacefighter
Booberry from the cereal of the same name
The Grinch
An unknown elf (maybe a person)
Voltron

On the monitor
Charlie the Tuna from Sunkist tuna
The Salacious Crumb from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
The boxing monkey from some old internet banner ad
Bibendum (aka The Michelin Man)

I already posted this in the thread. I don't think the toys have anything to do with it though.

Something about the computer monitor reflection stands out to me, but not sure what. Almost looks like someone with a baseball cap on

Could this mean that the answer is in the Binary of the picture?

EDIT: Never mind

Nice, Prophet. Yeah, I really think that's more of the right track. It seems to me that everything in the photo is a red herring. To figure this out, we've really gotta check the actual file. Steg, maybe? I already checked for a digital watermark..

Sieg. I looked through the binary but couldn't find anything. I could've missed something but you're right it could be a stenography challenge.

I looked through the image file in a text editor. I searched for all occurrences of at least five letters (a-z or A-Z) and looked at all of those. Nothing of interest showed up.

After looking in the coding for the front of the http://obeygiant.com read the top. It is kind of strange.

Could "Truth brings revelation" be related to coporate giants? Once we see that Corporate giants want to rule the world so we should revolt? Blasphemy! Adobe bought Macromedia Microsoft owns part of Apple, NBC and Universal are partners, WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMMING TO!
