I'm looking at the History file right now. There are six text shapes rather than four (I can't read what any of them say), but I think this is just a fluke because the rest of the site is painfully boring when decompiled. EDIT: I checked the story graphic and it only has four frames. So disregard even that hint of a mystery.

The thought bubbles are called, I quote, "donkey.donkeyThoughts" and "fish.fish1".

Gah. Nothing much there at first blush, but it's worth remembering.

Kind of curious why the thought bubbles aren't similarly-named, though.

Any reason for why the fish begin and end our of frame but the jellyfish and donkey don't?

Any reason for why the fish begin and end out of frame while the others don't?

 		Are there different files for each of the history pages?

I'll try it this way because I know I'm not explaining it well enough. The pics below are the normal view, and then zoomed in x6 and moved left or right - there is a strip on all sides that is just white, but it's where other words were supposed to be.

On History page one, you can drag to the right and get the T in The Slusho story, etc. but if you drag the page to pull the lower stuff up, all the text in this "strip" area is blotted out. Drag toward the left and like the text begins to appear mid sentence.

Or try and see what it does for you. I only used x6 because of the 6 focus on the site itself.

Exactly. My first instinct was 'What kind of coder would name one thoughts and one 1? Not entirely professional...unless they have different uses. As in one means something and one doesnt?

 		Well at least we got it cleared up once and for all it's a donkey and not a horse (or seahorse!). Which begs the question of why there is a donkey at the bottom of the sea thinking about oven mits....

If they'd have made one a chicken then we might could run with Charlie the tuna....but nooooooooooooooooooooo.

In a manner of speaking, yes. It's a 4-frame "movie" controlled by an actionscript.

The donkey is an animation which moves across the screen on a track. The jellyfish is a moving animation which is simply plopped down on the screen. The fish are still images. Animator = lazy.

For your amusement here is the ducky from the downloads page



I think that's about it, I couldn't find any hidden movies and I am quite tired now, see you all in the morning.

 		Tina and Jimmie primarily
Tina I noticed in your screenies something interesting. You seaweed is differnt than mine.

And I seemed to be the only one who had a norman slusho home site in regards to the pattern that was never changing on my comp.

FlashPros - does the first site visit have any type of information stored in my cpu that would separate me from others? Like if I first connected with slusho after everyone else or before everyone else our first time? Sounds dumb I know. Let me know why this could be because my site never shows any inconsistencies and the animals/links/seaweed etc is the same ever time. And other people seemed to have strange deliberations in the links/animals dept.

 		history.swf looks pretty ordinary. There's no outgoing links, only the two arrows have a "hit" function. There's no rollovers other than the fish, donkey, girl, and boy. Other than figuring out it's a donkey, decompiling history.swf comes up with no clues.

It's doesn't specify what exactly the cheese or oven mitt are.

I'm off to bed too. Heres a new one for you late nighters tonite. The balloon has 11 colors (disregarding the colors outside the balloon itself). Are these all the colors? And is 11 significant? Nite Smile

I wouldn't go so far as to call yours "normal" any more than I'd call mine that. We honestly don't know what "normal" is because we have no idea what the folks behind the site actually intend. I'm not willing - still - to leap to any conclusions because I don't have nearly enough evidence to do so.

It could be that yours is the real deal. Mine could be as well. I do know that for several days I got consistent results. One evening, those results changed several times. Now the results are similar, but have differences. Is that because the Flash file is rendering differently on my computer? Perhaps, but I had checked it on two different computers running to diferent browsers and got the same results. So, I don't know.

Could you clarify that just a little - when you say it doesn't specify what they are, do you mean there's nothing to reference them? Or that they aren't specifically referred to as cheese or mit...if not, how are they referenced? I'm having a bout of slusho brain freeze so sorry if that's confusing.

Tkar, what's different?

For the record those were capped before they updated the site the other day.

One last question.

ON each screen, the stuff at the bottom (the cups and the Japanese scripts) as well as the Japanese script that pops up on the main screen when you mouseover the bubbles are rasterized graphics. The rest of the site are vector graphics. Do we chalk that up to designer laziness or can you think of a good reason it's that way?

Well, they're just listed as sprites and shapes. Unlike finding out that the horse is in fact a donkey, cheese is whatever we assume it to be, same with the mitts.
