Transcript

Here is what occurred in #vanishing during the Skypecast. Many comments won't make sense if you didn't list to the cast. I editted out the people coming in and out (except for when Elan & Steve came in after the Skypecast). Sorry, not color coded.

Steve claimed he was giving us a hint, probably about the next (or current) project. blackhawk127 thinks it is about "rock" but it was Rob who said it first:

Quote:

[15:51] Rob: And Steve, you rock. Smile

Was Rob (from neowin) in on the clue or did Steve & Elan just jump in it for laughs.

Quote:

[15:52] Elan: I agree. Steve does rock!
[15:52] vpisteve: elan rocks harder, and with better dance moves
[15:53] * vpisteve plants a hint before leaving
[15:54] Rogi: Does it have anything to do with unicode, Steve?
[15:54] vpisteve: the hint is over there behind the bar
[15:54] vpisteve: and yeah, unicode i did

We tried to get them to admit or deny about the NiN connection, but they are staying quiet. Either they are doing that and trying to keep an iron curtain. Or they aren't involved and keeping the mystery going while laughing at our discussion.

I found the Skypecast very fun way to learn more about the behind-the-scenes. Just another advancement in utilization of resources. Guess it won't be too long before an ARG uses Skypecast for a character/player interaction (once they figure out how to keep the looky-loos who don't have their mic's on mute from popping in and out.

Hopefully Rob will have the recording up today (or maybe ARGN can set it up as a podcast????)

[14:46] CreativeEmbassy: arrrr, I missed it
[14:46] Elan: if you guys really want to make steve happy, you'll solve mural

[14:47] konamouse: yeah, very nice.
[14:47] krystyn: that was neat
[14:47] DaveLegg: mine didn't Razz

[14:47] konamouse: wonder if we should also post this chat room at the same time.
[14:47] RedHatty: I really enjoyed the game & the puzzles - I'm a little bummed about not winning anything, but it was a whole lot of fun trying!
[14:47] Sin_Vraal: hey Elan
[14:48] Sin_Vraal: the only parts I'm bummed about are the parts 42 had no part in
[14:48] Elan: glad you had fun. You were fun to watch!
[14:48] Rob: Cheers... bot :p
[14:48] CreativeEmbassy: RedHatty: Same here.
[14:48] Sin_Vraal: particularly misspelling Glenn Miller's name

[14:48] DaveLegg: konamouse, if you guys want to post it somewhere, I don't see why we can't link to it
[14:48] Marc5000: We were like your little ants Razz

[14:48] Elan: ya, there's a lot of moving pieces. Hard to control EVERYTHING
[14:48] blackhawk127: o ya i remember
[14:48] Marc5000: i guess in a 'Aero Glass' chamber Razz

lol
[14:48] blackhawk127: what did you guys think of the e-baby and e-world reference we ran into
[14:48] Sin_Vraal: Nobody said Artistes would measure twice cut once. Smile

[14:49] konamouse: hold on, hubby on th ephone
[14:49] Sin_Vraal: whoa, a steve

[14:49] vpisteve: heya
[14:49] konamouse: yeah, i can post this when we're done.
[14:49] Sin_Vraal: where's the rest of the crew
[14:50] colin: i thought i recorded the chat, apparently not, wrong setting somewhere
[14:50] Elan: technical difficulties for a lot of them.
[14:50] Elan: it's probably also fair to say that none of us are getting much free time at the moment.
[14:50] Sin_Vraal: heh
[14:50] Matt: I gotta run guys, thanks for the game and the chat today. looking forward to seeing those pics of elan's lego model!
[14:51] Elan: Smile

[14:51] Marc5000: That should be great Smile

[14:51] konamouse: 42's new logo -= the legos.
[14:51] Marc5000: Lego Mindstorms! >.<
[14:51] vpisteve: i don't want to ever see another lego again
[14:51] vpisteve: Smile

[14:51] konamouse: do you still have your honey bottle?
[14:52] vpisteve: i do. sitting in my office
[14:52] konamouse: bring it for the swag museum next month?
[14:52] vpisteve: oh sure!
[14:52] Elan: I don't want to ever see another bottle of honey again
[14:52] RedHatty: sweet
[14:52] blackhawk127: put it in the Smithsonian
[14:54] Sin_Vraal: nobody ever sent *me* a bottle of honey. sniff.
[14:54] Sin_Vraal: I never even got a black rose or a horse's head in my bed
[14:54] Elan: we'll get right to work on that
[14:54] RedHatty: lol
[14:55] Sin_Vraal: heh
[14:55] Sin_Vraal: um
[14:55] konamouse: yeah, i'm a good trailhead person, you know i'll post it right away Smile

[14:55] konamouse: speaking of your office - maybe someday a picture or two of the stuff you guys have there?
[14:56] Rob: That'd be neat actually
[14:56] * RedHatty pictures something similar to the intro to Rey Bradbury theater
[14:56] * konamouse wonders if the Lucky license plate is there.
[14:56] vpisteve: heh, we'd have to blur most of any picture
[14:57] Elan: Smile

[14:57] Rob: Very Happy

[14:57] konamouse: any rock concert tshirts?
[14:57] Six: heh
[14:57] Elan: no comment
[14:57] RedHatty: tee hee
[14:57] konamouse: LOL
[14:58] Elan: i will say that success stories like vpg let us build a lot more than one project at a time.
[14:58] RedHatty: IF 42 is part of the NIN thingie happening, we KNOW it will be great
[14:58] konamouse: ooh, there's more..... sweet
[14:58] vpisteve: o_O
[14:58] Sin_Vraal: 42? part of NIN? Piffle and tosh.
[14:58] konamouse: so you guys must be swamped with work.
[14:58] konamouse: so great you are taking the time to come to ARGFest.
[14:59] vpisteve: i do have that one postcards redux artwork that was rejected. you know which one i'm talking about, elan?
[14:59] konamouse: i know we are REALLY looking forward to the symposium.
[14:59] RedHatty: yes!
[14:59] blackhawk127: hmmm
[14:59] blackhawk127: i might wanna go catch up on that thing
[14:59] * konamouse googles postcards redux artwork in hopes......
[15:00] Elan: ya.....hmmmmmm.
[15:00] * Rogi is googling prince triton
[15:01] Elan: it's a piece that was deemed "inappropriate" so the problem with showing you guys is that it's....well...inappropriate.
[15:01] Six: ahhh argers, give us an inch and we'll scour the internet for a mile
[15:01] vpisteve: heh, yes
[15:01] vpisteve: i'm trying to think what all wasn't solved really
[15:01] konamouse: hey, i'm not at work, everything is safe on my computer.
[15:03] konamouse: well, the not well solved stuff, thanks again for the info on composers
[15:04] vpisteve: history lesson was only mostly solved....
[15:04] * konamouse opens the wiki
[15:04] vpisteve: mural...mostly
[15:04] * Rob wonders how Audacity will cope with a 1GB wav
[15:04] konamouse: i think box 3 had the most of the "solved by luck" stuff.
[15:05] vpisteve: yeah
[15:05] vpisteve: tomb was eventually solved correctly
[15:05] vpisteve: which is nice
[15:05] konamouse: and it seems there was more than one way to solve Balance the Books.
[15:05] blackhawk127: in here we were going back and forth and back and forth
[15:05] Sin_Vraal: did someone finally get your Composer one steve? Smile

[15:05] blackhawk127: then someone pops in and goes like HEY ITS GREECE
[15:05] Rogi: Or it was an inside job!
[15:05] vpisteve: no, not that i know
[15:05] blackhawk127: by the way about tomb
[15:05] Sin_Vraal: i never went back to my little search i talked to ya about
[15:05] blackhawk127: what about those ebaby and e-world references
[15:05] konamouse: yeah, about tomb. talk about red herring
[15:06] Sin_Vraal: that tomb vanishing point idea was rather brilliant i must say
[15:06] vpisteve: no red herrings in tomb
[15:06] Sin_Vraal: i'm just glad I can claim beating Neowin to solving something - they were unbelieveable Smile

[15:06] blackhawk127: e-baby and e-world weren't red herrings?
[15:06] vpisteve: drive in...definitely never solved
[15:06] konamouse: guess they were incorrect solves?
[15:07] vpisteve: e-baby and e-world?
[15:07] vpisteve: was that in the squares or something?
[15:07] Sin_Vraal: ya
[15:07] blackhawk127: ya
[15:07] konamouse: yeah, taking the letters inside the boxes,
[15:07] blackhawk127: we were surfing that forever
[15:07] Sin_Vraal: why are people throwing this 1300 point number around today, is it magic?
[15:07] vpisteve: that was just inherent in the design, not so much a red herring
[15:08] konamouse: 1300 was the amount you could get without any referrals? so it meant ALL solved?
[15:08] Sin_Vraal: ah. i musta had 7 referrals then. who knew.
[15:08] vpisteve: yes, i think so
[15:08] Sin_Vraal: i spread the game around on my MUD, looks like i got a few Very Happy

[15:08] konamouse: 1320, 20 for signing up, 1300 for all the puzzles?
[15:08] vpisteve: no, i think total was 1300. but i may be wrong
[15:09] blackhawk127: ya its 1300 because u get 200 for all referrals
[15:09] blackhawk127: and max was 1500
[15:09] Sin_Vraal: yea next time bonus points for first-to-solve each Very Happy

[15:09] konamouse: ooh.
[15:09] vpisteve: contest, remember Smile

[15:09] vpisteve: er, sweepstakes
[15:09] * Rob wonders if UK has such a restrictive law
[15:09] Sin_Vraal: i dont' see why that should be a problem, everyone's on the same square 1 to solve it first, aren't they?
[15:10] * Rob decides 42 should move to Birmingham near him
[15:10] konamouse: yeah, so you can't say "minimum xxxx points to be entered" can you?
[15:10] Sin_Vraal: i mean you were allowed to give points for referrals, how is that different
[15:10] vpisteve: certain things cross the line to make it a Game of Skill
[15:10] Rogi: The two different contests was a good idea. Kinda made everyone happy, that way.
[15:10] konamouse: unless you are a puzzle neophyte like me.
[15:10] Marc5000: The prizes should have only been drawn for those who actually got over say 1200 and were serious about the game..
[15:10] vpisteve: that's why the meta puzzle was able to be a little different
[15:10] Sin_Vraal: hm. that becomes interesting. what's the difference in legalities from 'game of chance' and 'game of skill'? I am admittedly weak in that area
[15:11] konamouse: (Link: http://vanishingpointwiki.com/wiki/Image:Tomb-overlay.jpg)http://vanishingpointwiki.com/wiki/Image:Tomb-overlay.jpg picture of the tomb with the ebaby e world.
[15:11] Sin_Vraal: ah good old bleb ebaby eworld.
[15:11] Sin_Vraal: i wanted to knwo where the pus-filled blister was leading us
[15:11] blackhawk127: O YA
[15:12] vpisteve: ok, ebaby and eworld ok, but bleb?
[15:12] vpisteve: Smile

[15:12] blackhawk127: its a bladder
[15:12] Sin_Vraal: it's a real word Very Happy

[15:12] Marc5000: Pre-game was also interesting.. comments on that?
[15:12] konamouse: ble is in the first box
[15:12] vpisteve: heh
[15:12] konamouse: yeah, that damn chocolate.
[15:12] blackhawk127: i think someone thought of it as ms empties bladder on apple
[15:12] vpisteve: pregame?
[15:12] Rob: cypher keys etc
[15:12] Marc5000: Yea
[15:12] blackhawk127: and you tube vid
[15:12] Marc5000: And the box from Loki
[15:12] Sin_Vraal: yea one of those pws was hacked wasn't it
[15:13] Sin_Vraal: by doing some ROT'ing and looking for patterns
[15:13] Marc5000: nope.
[15:13] vpisteve: oh yeah, someone did at that
[15:13] vpisteve: that was impressive
[15:13] Marc5000: Those were hard games.
[15:13] blackhawk127: who was lokivanishes on the neowin forums
[15:13] Sin_Vraal: hm. so i'm still curious, why can't we have legitimate 'games of skill' anyway
[15:14] vpisteve: yes, again. we could make stuff a little more tough in that instance. no contest rulez
[15:14] konamouse: lokivanishes was STEVE hehehehe
[15:14] konamouse: "in drag" his own quote.
[15:14] Marc5000: really! -_-
[15:15] blackhawk127: lol
[15:15] konamouse: yeah, the solve of the key was amazing.
[15:15] konamouse: but with computer skills, i could see how it was done.
[15:17] vpisteve: i liked the sudoku
[15:18] konamouse: stuff that you had to input online was sometimes frustrating, cause if you messed up or your computer flipped (modem) then you had to start over.
[15:19] konamouse: but the artwork was amazing.
[15:19] konamouse: like the rope climb.
[15:19] vpisteve: yeah, i thought so too. those guys really are brilliant
[15:19] Rogi: How many flash people were needed or was it all you?
[15:19] vpisteve: this project was really just three people, pretty much
[15:20] Six: :O
[15:20] vpisteve: two artists and one programmer
[15:20] Rob: wow
[15:20] Rogi: Wow!
[15:20] konamouse: how long were they working on these?
[15:20] vpisteve: for the most part
[15:20] DaveLegg: much like the team at neowin Rob Wink

[15:20] Sin_Vraal: yea that artwork was brilliant, as i said except for one typo. grin.
[15:20] DaveLegg: much *
[15:20] Sin_Vraal: i LOVE that typo Very Happy

[15:20] vpisteve: which typo? chase?
[15:20] Rob: Haha for sure Dave Wink

[15:21] vpisteve: or austrailia?
[15:21] konamouse: oh, the typo on the locations in the pregame.
[15:21] konamouse: amazing the wild spec after that one.
[15:21] vpisteve: oh, singpore
[15:21] vpisteve: <shrug>
[15:21] Rogi: aUS trailIA, HEH.
[15:22] Rogi: Flip the case on that.
[15:22] konamouse: or the wild spec about the house in the woods in the second loki video.
[15:22] konamouse: or her pointing.
[15:22] vpisteve: heh
[15:22] blackhawk127: how bout the change of the ivy page
[15:22] Rogi: Oh. Was the Nitinol your idea?
[15:22] vpisteve: at the end you mean?
[15:23] blackhawk127: mystery spot
[15:23] vpisteve: nitinol was elan's idea (the shape-remembering metal?)
[15:23] konamouse: yeah, why more hints for the meta puzzle?
[15:23] konamouse: nitinol was cool.
[15:23] konamouse: how many takes for that one?
[15:23] vpisteve: dunno. that's an elan question. he filmed it, i think
[15:23] * konamouse knows that elan knows how much that song got stuck in everyone's head.
[15:24] blackhawk127: that song was awesome
[15:24] blackhawk127: the other ones they did were horrible =P
[15:24] Rob: I remember a question I was going to ask -- Loki's name - did we have any crazy answers suggested?
[15:25] vpisteve: ah. i dunno. i'd love to see the submissions
[15:25] konamouse: good question.
[15:25] vpisteve: that database got whisked away
[15:25] Rob: Ohh I see
[15:25] vpisteve: to the contest company
[15:25] konamouse: maybe you guys can post them if you get back to that data base?
[15:25] vpisteve: i hope so. i'd love to browse it
[15:27] vpisteve: elan is on the phone, btw. doesn't want you to think he's ignoring Smile

[15:28] Rob: Heh
[15:28] vpisteve: we get no rest Razz

[15:29] Rogi: It's probably the lawyers.
[15:29] vpisteve: oh great
[15:29] vpisteve: just what we need
[15:29] konamouse: Lego wants to sue
[15:29] konamouse: or to hire you guys
[15:29] vpisteve: ha! who said anything about legos?
[15:29] vpisteve: certainly not us
[15:29] vpisteve: or monopoly
[15:30] vpisteve: or...anything
[15:30] vpisteve: Razz

[15:30] konamouse: yeah, did you know there was more than one way for that one to be solved?
[15:30] Elan: hey guys, I'm back now
[15:30] vpisteve: i'm nto sure how it ended up solved
[15:31] vpisteve: not
[15:31] Rob: Welcome back Smile

[15:31] konamouse: one way was posted in uF< but another version was posted in the wiki
[15:31] Elan: sorry about that. One of these days, I'm actually going to get a weekend.
[15:31] DaveLegg: weekend? whats one of those?
[15:32] konamouse: (Link: http://vanishingpointwiki.com/wiki/Balance_The_Books)http://vanishingpointwiki.com/wiki/Balance_The_Books
[15:32] konamouse: shadow played around without any clue from the live events.
[15:32] Elan: going back to that point on the memory metal and the band for a sec
[15:32] Elan: (Link: http://www.myspace.com/concorderock)http://www.myspace.com/concorderock
[15:32] Elan: the song is on there. It's called "mona lisa"
[15:33] konamouse: he bought connecticut ave & 4 houses.
[15:33] vpisteve: oh, the second spoiler in the wiki is correct
[15:33] konamouse: your way was pennsyl ave & 2 hours.
[15:33] konamouse: ouses.
[15:33] konamouse: yeah, two ways to get the right answer.
[15:33] vpisteve: The $320 collected on rent can buy you Pennsylvania Avenue, which when you add two houses (two are shown next to the symbol [1] on the Brandenburg Gate) gets you a new rent of $450. "450" is the answer.
[15:34] konamouse: Spend the $320 to buy Connecticut Avenue for $120 and four houses for $50 each. The rent is $450,
[15:34] konamouse: was shado's answer
[15:34] vpisteve: but yeah, the other way works too, heh
[15:34] Elan: Steve planned that all long
[15:34] konamouse: who is posing for the disco inferno pictures?
[15:34] Elan: along
[15:34] Elan: JESSE!!
[15:34] vpisteve: LOL
[15:34] vpisteve: jesse
[15:34] Elan: Jesse is one of our producers. He's amazing.
[15:34] konamouse: was that fun?
[15:35] vpisteve: they spent like 2 days on that shoot in the office downstairs
[15:35] vpisteve: against a big greenscreen
[15:35] Elan: Jesse tried many outfits too.
[15:35] Elan: Plus, he made up a lot of the poses.
[15:35] vpisteve: heh
[15:35] konamouse: who came up with the fake names?
[15:36] Elan: they changed a bunch. I think we all contributed to at least a few of them.
[15:36] Elan: fun fact: the two lead singers for concorde (the music in the nitinol video) are the two lead designers for Edoc Laundry (Shane and Cathy)
[15:37] Elan: Also, Cathy, is the lead artist for Cathy's book.
[15:37] Elan: we're all one big happy multi tasking family over here Smile

[15:37] konamouse: so it was fitting that the shoot for the video was at the EDOC headquarters?
[15:37] Elan: indeed
[15:37] konamouse: weren't you worried to mix blow torch with all those dried leaves?
[15:38] Elan: yes. I have the burn marks to prove it.
[15:38] konamouse: did the actress have insurance?
[15:38] Elan: I have a version of the video where we tried a much thicker metal with a much more powerful torch. We ended up setting fire to a large wooden background.
[15:38] Elan: yes, she is union. so we had insurance and a fire marshal present.
[15:39] konamouse: see, blooper material!
[15:39] Elan: hahaha
[15:39] vpisteve: dude, i never saw that
[15:40] vpisteve: that
[15:40] * Elan likes keeping secrets from Steve
[15:41] * vpisteve shakes his fist
[15:41] Rob: Very Happy

Genius
[15:42] konamouse: so, do you guys prank each other at the office?
[15:42] Elan: we've gone so far as to have a few hospital visits
[15:42] konamouse: whoa!
[15:42] vpisteve: burned feet
[15:42] vpisteve: marshmallow eye injuries
[15:42] Elan: plus, Jesse and I almost got arrested at our holiday party Smile

breaking and entering
[15:42] konamouse: you should say champagne cork injuries
[15:42] konamouse: arrested?
[15:43] konamouse: that is a story worth sharing.
[15:43] vpisteve: heh
[15:43] vpisteve: if ever i had a choice of how i'd want to be arrested, this is it
[15:43] Elan: ya, we were on a scavenger hunt where we need to get a picture of Jesse's shoes on the roof of the building across the street. We broke in, took apart a few locks, got up to the roof, took the picture, and then the cops were waiting for us when we got back down.
[15:44] DaveLegg: LMAO
[15:44] Six: haahahaha
[15:44] konamouse: LOL
[15:44] Rob: That is sublime.
[15:44] Elan: the cops didn't have the same reaction as you guys
[15:44] konamouse: scavenger hunts are fun (cause to me it's more solveable than these online puzzles/codes)
[15:44] vpisteve: the good news is, the 30 minute delay enabled our team to cream theirs
[15:44] Elan: booooo!!!
[15:44] RedHatty: yeah, I bet they didn't see the humor in a B&E
[15:44] vpisteve: yay!!!!!
[15:45] Elan: that picture should have been worth WAY more points
[15:45] vpisteve: but that got their team the most cred points, as far as i'm concerned
[15:45] * konamouse imagines showing them the pictures of the other items on the scavenger hunt.
[15:45] konamouse: showing the cops
[15:45] Elan: ya, the other pictures were things like "any member of your team wearing Jesse's shoes and nothing else" so we opted not to show them.
[15:45] vpisteve: oh man
[15:45] konamouse: who posed for that one.
[15:45] konamouse: and why jesse's shoes?
[15:46] * konamouse has a rick springfield song running thru her head now
[15:46] Elan: It was a Jesse's shoes party. Jesse has lost three pairs of shoes in random bets around the office (one resulted in him having to walk all over disneyland barefoot and eventually getting burned so badly he needed a wheelchair)
[15:46] Elan: so we had a party to celebrate his shoes
[15:47] konamouse: nasty bet (does disney allow you to ride without shoes??)
[15:47] konamouse: or does he have a gambling problem?
[15:47] konamouse: Smile

[15:47] vpisteve: not really
[15:47] Elan: no. Luckily, he was not in the mood to ride anything.
[15:47] Elan: he has a serious "sure I can do that!" problem.
[15:47] vpisteve: heh
[15:48] Elan: I don't even think he would have won anything had he accomplished any of the challenges he lost his shoes to.
[15:48] konamouse: that's not fair.
[15:48] blackhawk127: wow that was fun...
[15:48] vpisteve: a common occurrence is "hey jesse, if you can eat 6 plates of sushi, i'll pay for lunch. if not, i get your shoes."
[15:48] blackhawk127: my net exploded
[15:48] blackhawk127: what did i miss
[15:48] konamouse: jesse's shoes
[15:48] konamouse: well, that's winning the cost of the food, but then you really don't enjoy it.
[15:49] Elan: it's important to note that Jesse *loves* his shoes.
[15:49] vpisteve: indeed
[15:49] konamouse: what is so special about his shoes?
[15:49] Elan: also important is that at the final challenge, our art director Alex actually ate Jesse's shoelaces.
[15:49] konamouse: ick!!!
[15:49] Rob: lol kona I just got to the part in the audio editing where you were 'screwed' with
[15:49] vpisteve: heheh
[15:49] colin: intersting time to join O.o
[15:50] * konamouse wants to comment about being screwed.....

[15:52] RedHatty: hope this makes you guys rich!
[15:52] blackhawk127: they are the answer to the universe and everything

[15:53] vpisteve: thanks guys.
[15:53] * vpisteve plants a hint before leaving
[15:53] Elan: I'm trying to put together a plan where we can have interns, but that might take a long while to arrange. Lots of legal issues :S
[15:53] * konamouse holds her breath
[15:53] blackhawk127: omg
[15:53] colin: did you guys contract event management companies for the Overseas events?
[15:53] * blackhawk127 begins reading through the NIN forum
[15:54] Rogi: Does it have anything to do with unicode, Steve?
[15:54] * Six wonders if the hint is to come or if he missed it
[15:54] vpisteve: the hint is over there behind the bar
[15:54] RedHatty: you missed it
[15:54] konamouse: hey , no fair
[15:54] vpisteve: and yeah, unicode i did
[15:54] Elan: colin, ya we worked with a few overseas contacts. We used all our local connections to find them.
