The Boo Berry and Grinch toys can be found on this website.

I was looking around for things, but I reckon the only place you will find all of that stuff is on ebay.

Hey guys: just throwing something at you discussed on teamxbox

I meant if you have 4-3 you move 4 letters across and count that letter and then another 3 and count that letter, etc. So if its 0-3, the letter u are up to u count twice before moving 3 forward to the next one.

However, this method wont work as the scores sum to 85 and there are only 81 letters...unless it wraps around.

I think maybe each score is a coordinate with (0,0) being set to one of the corners. Then all the scores make sense as coordinates except the 18-3 and 9-0 ones. However, if u assume that the grid wraps around at the edges then 18 and 9 are valid.

Also remember on the Kirsten site all the menu items are spelt in that FuNnY wRiTiNg so perhaps this means to take every second letter or sumthin from the final result from the coordinates.

There's the dell optiplex gx280 SFF case.

Not that it will end up being relevant.

definitely clutching at straws .

I think answer somehow connects to baseball, because many ourcolony puzzles have beem made for americans by american person. I'm not american btw.

Just a thought, many of you are saying the Kristen site of out of game but why would her site be on the picture...it was clearly photoshopped...think about it...abyways, I'll be back at lunch, see ya

[i_am_not_stupid]

Still scratching my head here. So I am just throwing at stuff here and see what sticks.

"Reset reality". Where's the reset button on this model of Dell, or do they even have one?

Chicago seems to be the theme for this challenge and the last one. The telephone # from last challenge has area code 312 which is for Chicago.

"Truth brings revelation". What exactly is truth? False brings what?

"have you seen everything?" Other than the photoshopped areas, is there anything else that seems out of place in the picture? Hidden stuff perhaps?

I have no idea why kristens side is apparently a red herring.
The grid could just as well be a black herring.

Oh man, I just checked this page for the first time in about 12 houirs and we're on page 37, I don't dare try to summarise this monster!

These puzzles are turning damn cryptic.

At the risk of mass flamage I'm a little confused as to why people are so certain Kristen's site is out of game; the last time people were talking about other websites everyone said "if you're not pointed to it from in game it doesn't exist" etc. we've clearly been pointed, no one knows if this is 42 or not, or if she's involved or not, was she the reset reality voice? Of course her site is hard to look at objectively because there's so much ARG related stuff on there.

With regards to the picture the only comment I can add is that the whole thing looks set up, it doesn't look "lived in" enough to be a real desk, it doesn't quite "make sense"; I make films and this is a common problem when you dress a set; everything's there but somehow it still looks set up. The toys and baseball stuff are very male oriented fanboy stuff but then you have this little bunch of flowers, plush toys, and cutesy etoys sticker which seem more feminine (just playing generalities here, no offence to anyone), also although there is some chaos in how things are arranged it's pristinely clean, the noteboard walls have very little stuck on them.

Someone mentioned the Bible Code which when decoded comes out in grids like the photoshopped wordsearch grid here; basically you just look for related words intersecting closely to each other, like you could find "kennedy", "dallas", and "motorcade" all nearby each other or sharing letters/dissecting each other and make a prediction based on that information, the thing with this grid is that all the words seem very short, maybe the grid needs to be rot'd or something but that could take forever to rot and search all the combinations.

I like the suggestion of "gamefind" indicating we need to work out how all of this represents a game, I also wonder if "B" is relevant (after all the grid really says "gamefindb").

Just a reply to the guysearching for the leaders; a guy on these boards with a pipe logo set up Yay but can no longer log in so they could well be leaderless, have no idea who set up ARGolonists, refer to the original 26 odd page thread the game started on, a lot of the original players got bored and headed off for something that wasn't so fragile and falling apart I think.

Did anyone steg/desteg/whatever the picture?

Probably irrelevant but by the looks of the mouse cord the owner of the desk is left handed

lets hope we work this out today!

I'm working on the cryptograph and coordinates thing...

[Tarison]

I've been looking at this for a while now, (well, as long as it's been up), and my brain has gone a slightly different route. It's also my first contribution, so I apologise if my theories are drastically demented.

'ducky' is in the file's contents if you open it up in a hex editor.

i saw the name frank thomas, looked it up, and besides the guy listed in the calendar, frank thomas was also an animator that worked for disney. Ducky happened to be the nickname (not surprisingly) of the guy that first did the voice of Donald Duck.

Now, not only that, but we've got Voltron here, as well as a few other cartoon toys. But, according to the find-a-word, we're meant to find a game. Well, right under our noses is MLB 2003 All-Star Game.



Someone mentioned that the video game by that name was done by Acclaim, but they're defunct. Landon mentioned Midway also did a few of the good ones, and since a bit of investigation showed that Acclaim and Midway had some exchange of words over the baseball games they had that year, it made me wonder.

In truth, my brain makes odd associations, so what'd I come up with? Nothing that works, yet, but "cartoon all-stars to the rescue", and news that Midway will be developing a bunch of games based on cartoon network's shows, pertaining to adult swim.


I could be on the completely wrong track, but it's something to throw at you. Mind you, I've tried to ignore some of my weirder associations, but hope this semi-coherent train of thought can be of some help to SOMEONE.

erase all the "ducky" references its in all the files that have been made using some image-making program,.
