Huh...checking the comments on sxephil's blog, one of the pages lists the briefcase recipients. I couldn't find posts on the topic by either JC Hutchins, Epic Fu, or Joystiq, and S. Caramouch didn't turn up anything.

Assembling the list of recipients we know / have identified:
M. Fahey -- Mike Fahey at Kotaku (post)
A Birch -- Anthony Burch at Destructoid (post)
J. Ransom-Wiley -- James Ransom-Wiley at Joystiq (no post?)
S Sigler -- Scott Sigler (SciFi / Horror Podcaster, former True Blood recipient) -- post
JC Hutchins at jchutchins.net (Personal Effects author, SciFi Podcaster, former True Blood Recipient) -- (no post?)
P. DeFranco -- Philip DeFranco (YouTube phenomenon, worked on "Hooking Up" w/ Jessica Rose from lg15) -- post
Z. Diaz -- Zadi Diaz -- Epic Fu (no post?)
S. Caramouch -- unidentified, but if real, his/her parents must have had a quirky sense of humor considering the definition of "scaramouch".

According to the posters at sxephil's blog, the Armacham folks have also been showing up in the wild. They also figured out the code from the press release.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Matching up the capital X's with the unencrypted document spells out SEARCH FOR THE WORD READJUSTMENT. Doing so on the website after it goes all wonky reveals a video. Fun video. Very vintage instructional PSA-like.


In the video there are a few times you can see a cartoon frog, bird and ladybug. I remember this from something PhillyD posted from the briefcase. The From Juice tests? Any thoughts on the Bird and the Ladybug?

 		EPIC FU post
Zadi Diaz is in South Africa for two weeks, so Steve Woolf (co-creator of EPIC FU, producer) put up this video recently, but no update since:

 		Thanks shockvalue....I must've misspelled Armacham while searching the EPIC FU site.

As for the Frog Juice tests, I'd presume different mixes would give people different powers, but figuring out how they align might involve a familiarity with the F.E.A.R. backstory that I don't have.

 		Ok so, the names are certaily from all bloggers, good strategy and free publicity. do they feel used, I wondeR?

And about the press release, it came to be much like it is for pirates, yarr.
Question to ARGers, When is a spoiler not a spoiler anymore? so, if the last poster revealed the info about the cracked code on the press release, should I SPOILER TAG my comment regarding that? like so:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The X marks the spot, and we have to search for Readjusment. Not much in the video butthe three icons are definitely notorious. We definitely have the green Frog Juice, which is Metallothionein gene therapy. But on video 027-046701 we also see a yellow cup with what could be called a "BlueBird Juice" If it was on the same test, is it a control?
Seen on this at 00:54 and the rest of thebriefcase videos: http://kotaku.com/5102333/the-mysterious-project-origin-case-opens#c9291598

So, who has seen the ladybug?


the ones that have been seen are The Axman and Plasman... testing in dallas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxc2W0eY3ns
and others testing at atlanta http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJCnNsSf_vk
I wonder if anyone was around some of these live tests to hear the info of these characters. Interesting to see the plasman face to face after reading his bio on the armacham site, no?

 		This are so far the only instances in which i've seen the ladybug and the bluebird. Is this referenced in-game at FEAR 1?
makes me wonder why is the bluebird juice yellow Rolling Eyes

by the tangent, isn't Metallothionein research related to autism and cancer?

 		Guys, I found something.

I clicked on a unseen link and suddenly a video came up. It showed several clips of the gameplay about Alma, and flash cards.





The link is on the A.L.E.D watch in the frontpage

 		Wow. They just got in a Project Origin ARG?!

I think the liquids have something to do with Alma's... pregnancy.

 		Took a gander at the Kotaku briefcase - MAY be a competition, if the machine blueprints are what I think (a gaming rig).

 		READJUSTMENT
well, from what i can tell, the next clue should be in the video, and I think I found it. if you look at the part where the boy is testing his skills on the BLUEBIRD (notice, just in case), there is a frame after his teacher starts bleeding that shows us a frog on the teacher's face and the bluebird flying away. now, if you try to slow it down with the scrubber you can not rest on that frame. it wont let me, at least. at this point the audio track hits a glitch as well. what does it mean? showing us a frog for a split second then moving on...... maybe some sort of clue? can anyone grab that video and slow it down frame by frame to look at it?

Uhh dude... hate to tell you this, but umm.. you're talking to us in the past.

Also, it just looks to me like the characters are used to cover the gore.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the next clue is in this footage, not in the Nurse film. the link is here, for better clarification:


Oh and this is my first post here, I decided that I shouldn't mooch off of you guys anymore and pull my own weight for a change.[/img]

 		I hate to sound like a broken record, but there is another hidden frame in the readjustment video that I can't seem to see on its own, and it looks its something put in there not of the style of the instructional video, so it might be something. It's in the part where we are looking at the nurse's door and it's zooming in just a little bit. It looks like something round and red. Can anyone grab that, then teach me how so i don't have to ask every time? RRRGGGG.

 		What happened to the post the guy just had up? It was of the circular eye type thing that Duke of Dingos refrenced.

 		I don't know, but I've seen that happen a couple times today already. Progress seems to be slow. I managed to get a screen print of that frame in the readjustment video, I just don't know how to post it now. Don't really get HTML. Only java. From what I could see though, it didn't look like anything that has meaning, though it is creepy as all hell.
