Ahhhhh, Bruce! You beat me to it

So, why that particular music??

[B Quad]

Jumping into this one after hearing the last "sound sample" posted to the blog.

The song is indeed "Mad World". The song was originally recorded by Tears for Fears, but the version he's got is a cover by Michael Andrews and Gary Jules, recorded for the movie Donnie Darko. (You've all seen Donnie Darko, right? ) It's the very beginning of the song, the lyrics are:

"All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and ... "

The continuation of the cut-off line is
"... early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere"

Here's my take: if there was no noise coming from the object when it was in the air, and we heard garbled stuff coming from it when it was in water, it seems that the object is broadcasting on a frequency outside normal human hearing. The water served to change the frequencies, lowering them enough we could hear something. I'm going to write him and suggest putting it in some other liquids of different densities, see (or rather hear) what happens.

Donnie Darko = AMAZING

Although, I only just saw it for the first time a few months ago...^^;

ETA: Good idea! Perhaps we should send him a new camera too XD I tried searching for "Mad World," and came up with a Wii game set to release in March, but it doesn't really fit. It's all blood and gore and a total fighting game, whereas the message from the last video seemed to be a distress call from an army/militia/group of people on a mission.

a distress call eh
you guys might be right
it might be connected to gears of war(loved that game)

Almost positive this has nothing to do with Gears of War. As others have noted, the song is older than the GOW commercial.

...I've never seen Donnie Darko

Crap...looks like Adam's blog got hacked. All the text is (I'm guessing) in code now...anyone know how to translate it? I'm gonna try it on my own, but help is appreciated ^^

Also, there's a link to a page with an interesting image...http://wirebcze.50webs.com/

ETA: Okay, the source code on the linked page contains a quote: "if the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore, and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God which had been shown! but every night come out these envoys of beauty, and light the universe with their admonishing smile."

Thank you, B Quad! ^^

Although I am still unskilled in most types of codes (I learned Enigma last time!), it doesn't look like any code I've ever seen...maybe just a text scrambler??

Gonna concentrate on the linked page for now, try to desteg the image...

And "The Tangent Universe" is another Donnie Darko reference.

[Saki]

Hi, Toasty! Thanks for the help, apparently I need to watch that movie again XD

That's two Darko references...could this possibly be for the straight-to-DVD sequel, S. Darko?

ETA: Just consulted this, and a Darko game is looking more and more likely...you've got the Artifact (Franklin), the interaction of water and metal (the barrier and transitional elements), and then there's this quote from the book: "If an Artifact occurs, the Living will retrieve it with great interest and curiosity."

[Capslock]

Uh...why didn't the first blog title change to code?
