Someone one the Yahoo! Metacortex group (I think) stripped off the binary and enhanced the color on the Wallpaper background image. I've attached it below. Hard to say if it's an @ sign - certainly circular elements, however.


It might be a mistake losing the colour.

Try this one. The binary is still there, but it's not to intrusive.

I always thought it looked like chinese Banner or flag.

and is that Elvis on the left? Wink

(technically the wrong thread, but it's for comparison to something here)

it's reminiscent of American currency, though the brown/red overlays obscure too much

@

Yeah, many people pointed that out, although I'm still not totally convinced that's what it is. BTW, I tried various permutations of mail.bobby.___, and they're all nothing, but bobby.co.uk takes you to a page called ukix.com. Does anyone know what that is?

I know, I know - wrong thread, but that wallpaper - it looks like a phone receiver if you zoom in really close on it; remember the cool effect in the matrix when you (= the viewer) "enter" the phone through one of the little holes?

Watching the Animatrix I enjoyed all the "visions". I had a hard time digesting "Beyond" at first, but after a while I actually liked it.

Anyway all the visions seem to show some importance to the main Matrix movies. "Final Flight of the Osiris", "The 2nd Rennaisance 1 & 2", "Kid's Story" obviously all have high importance to the plot. Others seem to be extra stories but reflect the Wachowski vision. "Detective Story" has some action with Trinity. "Matriculated" shows a possible solution that instead of annihilating the machines, maybe an alliance should be taken (already happening with the Oracle, if she is in fact a good person). "Program" showed the morality involved if one is to believe in that the real world and freedom is more important to humanity than being slaved by machines just for a brief selfish life of "fake" happiness.

But "Beyond" was a mystery. Probably the most mysterous of all the episodes. Maybe it has a part to play in this ARG. Again all I said was maybe. It's just spec. I can have my theories.

Don't forget that the "Beyond" music is in the intro to the Metacortex mainpage.

Yeah, another good point. I have a strong feeling that Beyond is going to be very relevant to all this. Cascade Vortex and the Beyond music are probably the two most blatant references we've gotten so far.

Perhaps I missed something. Why is Cascade Vortex a blatant reference to the Matrix?

It's not really blatant, just very much like Beyond, and then they use the Beyond music elsewhere. "Anderson, Thomas" and Metacortechs is a blatant reference. But other than that, you'd never know this was Matrix-related. Suppose I phrased that poorly.

hey, thought you all might like to check out this website for the LEGITAMATE website (that is, the website is legitimate... the actual place looks like trickery to me -check out the pictures, they're funny!) http://www.oregonvortex.com/

Especially, check out the visiting information: Don't Forget Your Camera!

The PMs must have had a blast putting this together. <grin>

I figured the PM's used the Oregon Vortex as their model for the Cascade Vortex. I live in Oregon but have never been there. I do have friends who have visited, most say it is weird. A lot of people complain of headaches and nausea when they enter the vortex area.
