If we just use a negative filter on "anti.jpg" we can see a hidden word - "ATTAINABLENESS".

Hey guys, been following this with you all. I posted this vid and a link to these forums over at overclock.net, to see if the computer "nerds" can help us with this. Pretty interesting indeed.

The only thing that bothers me about this, is that in the description notes on the bottom of the site say 2007. Either it is old, and just found, or it is something to throw us off.

I don't know if it is important, but what sign, does the men in white have in the video on their left arm? It is something with red and yellow dots. Maybe that would give a clue?

I think its best seen in 8:03 and 8:00 in the Video

but the video, AND the magazine picture/posts are new, thus its not like we're trying to do some 2 year old puzzle. There's an active guy out there changing things (description for example).

I think the timsmit - NAME, means that timsmit isn't really his name, its like his username or something, so that might be the username.

Did anyone notice Niels Thibaut is an anagram of "Suitable Hint"?



thats really nice.

BTW if you do anagrams on Leonardo Bode, make sure you do them on Leonardo Bode. With the o on the end of leonardo.

and as far as I can tell there are just 3 dots on the arm in a line, red red yellow, doesn't mean anything, there's also a symbol on the armband that I can't make out.

In the video, when he finds the working phone on the bus, he calls that one number. It then comes up with something on his HUD called Babel research, and then a tower with some sort, that I assume is in critical condition. Could this be related to the old story the Tower of Babel where people were building a tower to get to heaven, but then God struck the tower down?

Already mentioned read the entire thread and then think on it. Then when you have some new ideas or clues post.

'every pro has its anti now think about that'

Is this quote just talking about pic of cube which is called anti.jpg? And the cube is the anti of whatever the pro is? Is it type of energy that is opposite of the portal so when he zapped the portal it shutdown because the dimension was closed?

The only way those dots would matter is if its oceana logo or something. Since the magazine and all mentioned that logo already. Also anyone want to try and email him?



I just got a message back from him after I asked that question. This is when I first saw the video.

Quote:
Is the film paying homage to lost and half life? Please respond back.


Quote:
Yes it is. More to come.

Tim


Lol sorry for not asking a better question, but didn't really expect him to respond back.

Magazine image

Regarding the magazine image. Ran stegdetect on it, and at a low level came back negative, but on a level 3 it came back as a jphide...

This may be a false positive...not sure. I'm not very good at destegging images but if somene else wants to take a crack at it?

Tal



Also something I noticed:

http://whatsinthebox.nl/?

Resolves to the same flash page as well. Probably not important, but worth noting.

edited to add additional page information

I'm sure this is completely unrelated but...

what the heck?

(no, nothing there is related to this other than the name =P)

That is a pretty strange coincidence. The press release was posted about a week ago. It also might be nothing, but the photostream named WITB reminded me that when the Acer handheld boots up in the video it flashes "WITB" on the test screen. At this point, who knows if these two things aren't connected as part of some large promotional campaign/personal project. Can anyone find a connection between the names of the people responsible for the video and this other box project?

I ran a quick crack on it (1.4MB wordlist), but it was negative.

That's because the "?" does nothing, example: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/?

someone said they had decompiled the flash, and gotten the source, which is how they got bullshit array information.

Could they post the audio? I'd like to look at the audio of the page, I'm better with sound then images when it comes to steg detection.

on the video.. if you can stop it at 3:20:14.... when he dumps out the bag, there is a note that shows... but I couldn't stop in where it's clear enough to read all of it.
Looks something like 10 verse ... sch.......ele?eren
That's about all I can make out.

**question, is there a way to view the video basically frame by frame? Or do you just have to try to time it right and stop it perfectly?

Also, early in the video when he looks at the radiation thing on the wall, there are two posters that come into view... can anyone make out what they say? One says something like Fe2O8 (110) Surface Morphology...
bulk A-type truncation Mg3 contamination at the ________. And it has a bunch of spheres on it.
And there's a another one with a picture and says .. ____ Laser Beam Deflection (maybe the first word here is detonation??)

The percentages and "attainableness" may just be an endorsement of solar power - saying "We can attain 70+% efficiency." I sense a lot of non-game cross-over into this one.

Also, no joy on the barcode? I bet you'll find your password in that.
