True true. It's just funny this thread - like being at a sleepover.

However, initially I wasn't going to "fall for it" because well, duh. But when nighthawk put up the link, or whoever did to nighthawk's copy on you tube I decided to check it out - figuring he was either debunking it or discussing it...and dammit! I heard the damn thing. I did listen to the wav file and just the wav file hit me as a joke because it's too obvious.

Okay fine. I pulled up the trailer and sure enough, there's a damn cuckoo going off.

And finally, I decided to check Raptor's awesome fan trailer and damned if he didn't capture it too...so it's definitely in there, and to you new ones who are reluctant to fall for it, it's not a joke....there's a cuckoo sound right at the explosion point when the SOL head hits the 401 bldg.

WHY it's in there, I cannot bring myself to speculate...because of the humiliation....I've watched this trailer a thousand times and it took a 13 yo kid to point it out to me...and you...and us...and them!

Which also means I guess I shouldn't say f*ck anymore on here huh...

Oh, PS....this is referring to the same (lost) source I read awhile ago that I can't remember to find, but that was saying the 2nd trailer is due out on the 18th of this month. The same one had mentioned that according to Abrams/camp the biggest clue anyone found at all from the trailer was the "we saw it, it's huge, it's alive" ...

Well that hit the obvious point that for us here, the slusho shirt was the biggest clue, so what is that phrase a clue about? Still, he said the biggest clue of the trailer anyone's even found clearly suggests there are others in this trailer....and the going assumption in spite of this information is that there's nothing more to be found in the trailer.

And now here were are, nearly the middle of August and just get pwned by a 13 yo and a CUCKOO BIRD.

I think we should really quit listening to ourselves and listen to outsiders! They seem to know what's goin on here better. Laughing

Can't it just be as simple as that the head of the SOL actually being hollow AND made of metal and therefore making that sound when being hit?
Watch Ghostbusters 2, you hear those kind of noices all the time, even in X-men 1 i think! BUT, if there is a cuckoo sound that has been put in there for the sake of it being a clock, then it would be pretty strange seing the "Ding Dong" flyer on the fridge and the http://www.dingdonglounge.com history section starting out with a comment (though fake) on a cuckoo clock?

I haven't used the program in years but didn't mIRC have a sound like that when one of your friends came online?

Well, its a cuckoo sound. I work with cuckoo clocks and it defintely sounds authentic. Not that that means anything, just pointing that out in response to whomever didnt believe it sounded like an authentic german cuckoo clock. The cuckoo sound is produced by two air bellows and they all have their variations, but it sounds like any authentic cuckoo clock would.

I'd be surprised if it had any relevance to the movie or game though.

I don't think it's an accident.

Cuckoo speculation

I think it's like a rorschach test for the ears. for one, to -koo is far too short compared to the cuck-... I think it's a normal sound that given its odd context and coincidental combination with others, and that one person first said it's a cuckoo, now that's all everyone hears... I don't think it's intentionally supposed to be a "cuckoo clock".

I was not going to post in this thread, but i decided to anyway.

Yes, I too can hear the *distinct* sound that a cuckoo clock makes and that point of the video.

Now for the context of this ARG:
Is there anything special about the building that the SOL head hits?
Is there a connection between that building and the Ding Dong lounge?

Does anyone think that the Switzerland jacket, Swiss Cuckoo clock, Swiss cheese, and possibly Swiss Chocolate are related and may have something to do with the movie?

Are the Oven Mitss swiss?

Is the Hammer swiss?
