Anyone feel like picking through the trailer, just looking for tidbits? I'm not sure how much of the trailer's good for in-game stuff, but it passes the time, right?

1) What's the old dude doing at this hipster's party? - At the very beginning of the trailer, there's a guy standing by himself under the banner. His image isn't very crisp, but if he's not a good bit older than anyone else at the party, I'll eat my hat.

2) Who's the guy in the Groucho Glasses? - About 1/4 into the trailer, after we've done the long pan past the banner, there are two guys talking to Rob (at least I believe it's Rob). Pause and go frame by frame until you get a couple good looks at the guy in the fedora. He's wearing a pair of Groucho Glasses without the moustache. I think that's J.J. Abrams (who has a distinctive schnoz) but I swear the nose looks like an entirely different skin tone than the rest of his face and it hooks downward sharply. Is that a little joke for the rest of us? He's also right in the middle of the pack at the first roar/lights out.

3) I have to agree with whoever first said that Rob looks a lot more worried than confused. Everyone else seems to be throwing off WTF?!?! body-language. Rob is throwing off "oh no" vibes. First sign of that is after the power comes back and he's turning away from the window. He's passed briefly by a young woman (who, I believe, is one of the two women in the "two women" 1-18-07 picture) who is moving away from the window fast and headed somewhere else. Right before the shot changes, he runs his hand through his hair in a classic "Oh my God" move. When he's on the roof, he honestly looks scared spitless. It could be an honest reaction, but his body language seems well out of place compared to that of everyone else.

4) When they exit the building, notice that pretty much everyone else is moving away from whatever made the sound except Rob and the two women. Rob and one of the women are having what appears to be an animated conversation about someone or something back inside the building. The other woman is looking up and toward the commotion with a look of either dread or barely-contained panic. When the sound happens again, Rob and the second woman bolt. The first woman's face completely changes, as if she's seen something that's shocked the emotion right out of her. Then everyone runs but the cameraman.

Let's play with what we know and see.

1) the guy in the blue shirt? You can see him, I think, in the "let's go to the roof" bit. He's a little square I guess, but not that old.

that smoke looks hawt to me ;D i started going back and forth over that part


thank you to nightowl and well i am goingw ith his theory that something is comming out from behind the buildings in the distance and there is smoke infront forming a siloutte

[KLP]

going to register in aminute but ya.....


the object/monster that appears in the smoke seems to be comming from far and as it gets "closer" it becomes more detailed so i am assuming the next part of that scene is the "OH FUCK" stage where everyone knows what is wrecking face and everyone starts to hall ass

i picked a part the trailer in pics in a previous post

no one said anything so i thought none of it was relevant

I think in the trailer, the camera specifically focuses on the license plate number so that we can find something out about it.. Look how purposely it focuses on it, lol

[kleppy]

anyone else notice that the SOL's head doesnt hit a building but yet the 401 Broadway sign? idk if this has been mentioned

Is it just me or in the *brief* second the camera holds still at 1:30, you can see what looks like a cephalopod eye just to the lower left of the street light? May just be smoke, but worth looking at in slow-mo.

Hey new to the boards thanks to this 1-18-08 thing....its sorta my first ARG and I'm very excited to be part of it....so please forgive my n00bishness.

Now to the matter I wanted to note something I saw as odd (despite it could have little to do with whats going on). The picture in the middle of the room at the 50 second mark seems to be grabbing at Rob almost like a omen.

Please correct me if I'm wrong on this, thanks!
