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.


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?


I would say laziness if anything.

When you get a little time to do so, would you mind whipping up a post that shows how each of the files are named, for pages and graphics? I don't know anything about flash or decompiling or all that and it would be helpful as a reference to have a way to keep track of the filenames and which pages they are put on, etc.

Thanks

One final thought, and sorry tina if you said this, but you inspired me to zoom a little more. Im going to bed but perhaps we can zoom a section of History to make a message (which could also lead to some words being 'poorly placed')

For Example:

in the last day of the first month
of the rest of your life
youll stop and look around
right before learning that
life's highway has no speed limit

Probably a bad lead, but w/e

That was the train of thought but before I spent any time on it I wanted to get some idea this wasn't "another flash glitch" or something the flashies would recognize right off as totally normal.

Maybe the x6 is the slusho version of Mad magazines end cover image Razz

See my post on page 28 (I know its hard to keep track because of all the reposts on the same subject matter, and even sometimes the same information)

http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=353166#353166

Basically the main page fires up and displays the first part of the flash animation, and then displays each bit depending on where you click (simplified version)

All images and sounds are part of the swf files

Need to know any more?

not sure of the relevance but I've been playing around with url shortening and searching to try and find another domain branch of slusho, http://www.slusho.jp/media/ has actually given me a 403 Error, which isn't the casual page not found error I'd been getting, so I find this page being forbidden a deff clue as to more to slusho.jp, my email is joc2289SPLATcomcast.net, contact me if you find anything, this forum is now on my favorite list so I can check in.

Number Game

The slusho site has absolutely brought the numbers 163 to the forefront for me and ANYONE hunting links to this movie.

Look at the following carefully.



(ty to Blue K for this.)

I'm assuming that the NY 1 new channel is the actual news channel that exists and whose website is www.ny1.com ( I don't live in NY so I'm guessing)

In which case I am starting to think that this might be a dead end, based on the fact that at the moment it is 4:48am and the temperature is 73 degrees, now yes I am aware that the time of year is incorrect and in January it should be colder but I am also thinking that when the video clip was made for the show someone just quite simply messed up and left the temperature at the correct temperature for the day. (oops)

I'm hoping I'm wrong as I would like to be, but I am not going to follow this up any furthur. I'm also feeling that the trail in general is cold at the moment until some more changes to the sites are released.

But this is MY Opinion and only mine so please don't flame me whilst I take the time to sit back and re-evaluate what has been seen until the next update

The Smallest Whale?
The Pygmy Sperm Whale

So we know Noriko's classmates called her "The Smallest Whale."

And I seem to remember someone mentioning the smallest whale known to us is the dwarf sperm whale.

So I did a little searching and apparently, according to a site simply called "Japanese Wild Animals," the dwarf sperm whale lives in the waters around Japan. Somewhat interesting, I think.

The family to which the whale belongs is Kogiidae (and for some reason Wiki refers to the Kogiinae subfamily)

The dwarf sperm whale is classified as Kogia Sima.

I've done a little searching but found nothing of any import, but perhaps one of you guys can find something.

okay we need to lay out how many different labels there are for cheese and oven mitt

I'm thinking wahtever is in the thought bubbles will turn out to be an important anagram that will take us further, and I'm still convinced the music has a purpose other than to annoy.

so far I got:

mitt
oven mitt
oven glove
glove
pot holder (not sure if this qualifies, isn't the label "pot holder" usually used for that square thing that comes with a matching oven mitt?)

cheese
swiss cheese
slice of cheese
piece of cheese


anyone care to add to this list?

perhaps I'm wrong, maybe, we need to be asking the questions:
why the hell is a donkey under water? and why does he think of oven mitts?

why is a fish thinking of cheese?

(i know the Japanese eat a lot of fish, do they ever eat it with cheese? perhaps a reference to some type of sushi dish?)

why does the donkey pass only once, yet the fish passes several times before the donkey leaves the screen?

The obvious relations for the donkey and the fish is that the fish is hungry and the donkey is cold (mittens are used to warm donkey ears).

Other than that I already posted this but since you asked,

The mitten is blue, the cheese has holes therefore blue holes, deep undersea caverns. The largest of which is the Great Blue Hole near Belize, though others are located near the Mariana Trench. Blue holes are often referenced in things dealing with Antarctica as holes through the ice often appear to be blue.

Those are all the connections I've made so far all of which lead me to dead ends. If you choose to research along these lines please let me know if you find anything useful.

One last note, the pic showing the slusho cups top view leads me to wonder if maybe they aren't a map of some sort with the blue dots marking relevant places.

The first time i ever saw the trailer, tje first thing i did was find ny1.com. Seems pretty real and a few have mentioned that they know the station from living in NY.

In regards to the 63 degrees thing, it would never have gotten througfh editing, if you guys know anyone in th movie biz, youdknow that since they arent actually filming in NY that the SOL head distance probably means nothing and is more likely they are jst using the head becuase its a symbol wed all recognize. Possibly.

Whoevr said something about 1-6-3 being on the bottom of SLusho.jp may be on to something.

I keep telling people I live in ny, I had the ny1 channel for years since it was first aired, I still remember the place holder I found when messing with my cable box and how shocked I was that it was displaying channel 01. At first glance, I thought I had broken it, then I read the place holder, which said new 24 hour news channel comming soon--it was quite exciting, channel 01, something I had never seen on a TV before.


It's been availible to us for 15+ years or so. The temperature is always displayed with the time just like that, except during the weather broadcast, which is reffered to as "weather on the ones" it is done every ten minutes

The temp numbers are never that big in relation to the time numbers they wanted us to notice this.

This is a project by JJ abrams. nto just a movie, a project. As a rule never assume something is random or a mistake, with jj, from everything ive been reading about the Lost game, and the show, everything he does is deliberate. including the release timing of the trailer wich has a lot of time before the relese of the movie. most movies, unless is a big budget movie thats been expected for years, they don't start anouncing it so early. thats it. i'm tired i need sleep.
