[UPDATE]Pie in the Sky Broadcasts Today's "Latest News" feed was hacked by someone going by the name "Pie in the Sky". There is a lot about this that is quite suspect.
First, the file location is Fujimoto20070411.flv -- going by Foo's standard naming system, that means this will take place one month in OUR future. Next, Foo's portion of the broadcast only utilizes the right channel of audio.
Discuss. The flv file is at www.deuscity.com/video/fujimoto20070411.flv -- I saved a copy in case we lose access.[/strike]

I just saw this as well, PitS (a VERY unfortunate acronym) kinda scared me when he popped out of Foo's video.
I agree, lots against this man, I have problems with anyone who hacks a feed so blatantly and claims to be an Underground resistance member, so anything he says should be taken not with a grain of salt, but an entire shaker.
He claims that he will lead us to a path that contains the truth. Were I Foo, I'd send a guy like this out to ferret out UG sympathizers and reeducate them. Best be on our tip-toes, Greenies.

Couple of thoughts...
1) I think Foo and Defensecorp have a lot to lose for the perception that is being given of not being in control, even if it was perpetrated by Foo with an ulterior motive.
2) Two similar "hacks" are still available in Grey District that speak of the Underground, so this is in the same mode. When the Defensecorp logo went up at the beginning and it had a slight "blip" I figured it was going to be a hack.

It sounds to me like he's saying "this is my first broadcast" rather than podcast. Which makes a lot more sense, since podcasts are (usually) sound files, not videos, and always downloadable so you can actually put them on your iPod.
Other than that, I've got nothin'.

Good ear there, Lex. If I knew how to do sound editing, I'd find some way to clean up the audio track to get a better idea of what he's saying. I get most of it, but the modulation PitS is using makes him unintelligible at times.
Also, newer iPods are able to play videos, so it *technically* could still be a podcast. Quibbling over details, to be sure, but NG could still be right.

Ok, between turning bass way up with no treble, and vise-versa, plus a little lip reading, this is what I've come up with:
Quote:
I'm hacking this feed so don't even try
This is coming from your future my time
You may be asking who ya asking who am I
You may be asking who am I
You may be asking who am I
Well I'm Pie in the Sky
This is my first concast to you
You watching this crap must be a follower of fujimoto
So I'll keep it short
It's only an introduction
Anything touched by mankind has been contaminated
You can't believe everything you see, hear, or read
Anything can be changed
I'm not going to bring you the truth
but I'll lead you to a path where you could find it
You probably shouldn't believe me cause everybody has their agendas
and remember, don't try to figure out what district I'm from
I can't be found
all you need to know is I belong to the underground
See ya soon
This rhyming effort sounds a lot like the one on Smile's profile. I wonder if they are the same person. (I posted this in that forum, too.)

hmmm maybe Bishop is pie in the sky???? LOL just kidding. Though i think, the guy asleep at the typewriter is bishop and the first guy (is that Phil?) is Pie in the Sky. Or, if you're playing the game.... his son??? LOL
But on the other things.... when i heard his name the Frank Sinatra song popped into my head. So I decided to google the meaning of "Pie in the Sky" to see what it means.
Here's the meaning:
A fanciful notion or ludicrous concept. The term was apparently first used by Joe Hill in "The Preacher and the Slave".
here are the links for the Frank Sintra Song and the Joe Hill Song:

You can also look int he wikipedia. I think he cose his name pretty well, doncha think?

Bishop wasnt born yet so he cannot be the guy asleep. Bishop was born in 2013 remember.

Doesn't look much like Bishop. I would say it is either Phil Moore or his doppleganger.

I think it is Phil.... I don't think it is alex, he is smaller than phil and also Brackin is smaller from the argfest vids. It is either Phil or a new guy.
EDIT
The sleepy guy is Alex.

Just so's you know; I did know they were the same guy - I was trying to get two different views. I think the last two pics are the same guy, too. He just took a new name; or started using his full name like Foo did.
