I dreamt to-night that I did feast with Caesar,
And things unlucky charge my fantasy:
I have no will to wander forth of doors,
Yet something leads me forth.

The filename is resolve.jpg and the title above it is REWIND...

Perhaps we are nearing the end? (I hope not!)

Random thoughts: Rewind - perhaps referring to Caesar's feelings at this point according to the previous files, he's like full 'o regret at this point.

Hand is holding a paintbrush. Paintover? [EDIT] or Nekodas...the painted ones [/EDIT]

What is the heart thingy with a plus sign-like thingy in it?

Where is the background, and what is it?

See, every time I think that, I remember that little website that we accidentally found that hasn't opened yet. I find that very reassuring. Not that Murpha has been incredibly helpful, but still...how close to the end can we be if there are whole new websites to explore? We're somewhat resolving the whole Beth-Jesse-Nekodas-James thing, but what about the Aquapolis? There are lots of loose ends. Phew.

Seriously, what do you people do when an ARG finishes? Go into ARG withdrawal and crouch in a corner for days on end muttering to yourselves? Oh...you play more ARGs...I'm slightly worried that this might be a long-lasting addiction.
Er, I'm also worried that this post is a bit off-topic.
What I wanted to say was, why must they post a new paintover pic at 3am? WHY? I was about to go to bed and everything! Really, I was...
(was that last bit better?)

Sure you were, Omnie, we believe you. (Right.) Now, back to the picture...what's the background thingy supposed to be?

Cogs? Cogwheels?
Also, I think the heart thing might be a broken heart. Or maybe cross my heart, although broken heart is much more appropriate.
Oh, wait, aren't we supposed to mostly do this on IRC? Huh, dunno, if I go on there now I'll have to stay a while...

The username will be Cinna, according to the Shakespeare text, right?

And although paintover.net seems obvious as the "host", usually it is the background that provides us with the location... and I still have no idea what it could be... gears, cogs, stairs? The onlysemi-logical link could then probably be murpha.com...

And also, the rewind/resolve thing... could that point us at previous filenames of the pictures? Or is Caesar telling us to rewind (go to the beginning...) to the October 1 pic and resolve that... maybe with new clues from what we get from the future night-files??

The background usually provides both the location and the password.
For instance the last picture had a swirling vortex and someone jumping of a building, hence the location was www.cascadevortex.com and the password was suicide.

There was a bompb symbol which was the directory. Thats why I'm trying to find that heart symbol.

I figured out the heart.

Check it out

edit:More Info

"A heart that forms a cross upon it's northern vertex - Nsoran - it represents a vision of sorrow and sadness, with the symbol of struggle (the cross) intertwined into that of love (the heart)."
