I'm thinking it might be time to obliterate this thread, condense it down to one 2-paragraph post, and start over. Wink


I'm definitely okay with that. Heck, it doesn't even need to be two paragraphs - just a couple links with a sentence of explanation behind each one. Maybe a pointer to this thread and a post number that designates where the update ends (i.e. "Update 1: Posts 1-1046" for example). It could be as much as a full-blown trail, but it wouldn't be worth the work, I'd say, until we know if we have an actual ARG or just a "find the new website" kind of thing.


I posted a reference thread today around 4 or 5 hours ago. Check it out:

Robert Penner is the author of an ActionScript tutorial book. The site designers of Slusho.jp clearly nicked some of the code from his book to make their site.

tinag222, it seems like what youre saying suggests that the second picture was put on the page to point us in the direction of the guy with the slusho-shirt in the trailer? If so, what clue in the trailer would the first picture point us at, you think?

1-18-08 photos

@tinag222

Okay, so I decompiled the flash app for 1-18-08.com and here's what I've found:

1) The photos are located in separate files found at:
http://www.1-18-08.com/images/pic_1.swf
and
http://www.1-18-08.com/images/pic_2.swf

2) The self-rotation of the pictures is random. Most of the code that makes the pictures move and drag looks pretty standard. There aren't any external links or anything useful like that.

I would be surprised if there were something more in the code.

3) That's pretty much it. The flash files are very basic (FAR simpler than anything on the slusho website)

------------

Other thoughts: It might be useful to run a stenographic analysis on the files of the pictures themselves. Maybe there's a message or something. Anybody know how to do this?

Well, those two girls look to be together right about the time the guy shouts "Has anybody seen _____?"

Someone said it sounded like Jensen. I just went to http://www.Jensen.com, and it looks like it's probably legit, but it is a 2007 website without much up.

I think focusing too much on the people at the party is likely a mistake.

Sea creature crawls out of New York Harbor. Starts blowing things up. What are the odds 20 drunks at a party with a videocamera are going to somehow have intimate knowlege of its origins or biology?

Like the protagonists in LOST, these guys are likely just along for the ride. What we learn about the creatures -- if anything -- will almost certainly come from outside exposition.

Focus on Slusho... The secret deep-sea based beverage with the penchant for freakish growh, and the notion of a parasite.

I am probably seeing things right now, but would someone who has an older static image of the Party Picture do a quick eyeball comparison between it and the version on the site right now?

I think that a couple things have changed.

Take a peek and let me know if you see anything that looks odd. If you do, post here and I'll tell you if you see what I saw.

(And if it hasn't changed, just pencil me in as the guy who's looked at that pic so long he's seeing things. But I did get a hugely strong impression that something was definitely different)

So someone mentioned that the sprite for the sea donkey was way larger than the other sprites. Is there a way to rip the sprite from the code to get a picture that we could zoom into? Maybe there is a tiny message hidden in the sprite?

Something has changed. I am no longer able to access the flash controls when right-clicking on the page.

No more zoom.

I wonder why?

It's likely just me going all flakey. When I first brought up the site I had the distinct impression that the mouth of the woman on the right was different. I could swear that she had been smiling a bit more and was showing a little teeth. Now, not so much. And the rightmost "S" looks a lot less like its partner. I remember them being more identical in shape.

Like I said...probably me having a flakey moment, but I figure I'd get another opinion. Thanks for indulging. Smile
