 		Fascinating art, Lariat, but what does it mean?

I got the same diamond shaped thing; where are you going with it? I don't see any doors, or hallways, and this newest thing doesn't make any sense at all. I've altered the levels and contrast and added and shaded and layered and filtered and rotated and mirrored and even cut the middle out and folded it inward like the last page of an issue of Cracked! Magazine, and none of it is coherent. What do you think of the anti/UE_join blend?

 		There are three dots on the bottom right part of the ad. Those can't be just coincidence. In the top right where you see a messed up soldier, at the bottom you see a faint dot.

What do you guys make of it?

i've always thought that they corresponded to the Babel Research three colour orbs, but I've never actually gotten around to seeing how it's possible to make the image. i'm thinking it used to be a colour image, but was made black and white. if someone is capable of attempting both combinations of colour modifications, you will be our heroes for a long time.

 		Just a couple quick things for everyone...

A few days ago I posted we need to look more into the Tenacious D tie ins... I think it's very important now...

A lot of the audio files on the site are connected to TD songs... "ragekage" "jables" are both from Beezelboss, which was the song the lyrics from the original anti.gif were from... Also, the discedo Malum audio is latin for "to depart from evil." There is hope though... in the TD song there are these lyrics:

"we will defeat you, for all mankind
you hold the scepter,
we hold the key
you are the devil,
we are the D"

 		Okay, on the left is the three dots from the ad. The right three rows are the dots taken from the Babel Website. The bottom being the original color, and the above two desaturated. You should be able to link the colors from the site to the ad.

If all else fails, there is no way to figure out the colors of the dots in the ad. Its just impossible.

The dots are not equally spaced, even when equalized in size... the dots on welcome.jpg are closer together than those on ue_join.jpg. It would be possible to colorize the ue_join image if you use the welcome.jpg as colors... It'll only be a 3-color image based on the references of 01d4ff, 00ffcf, and ff00d0.I'll give it a try, but no promises.

 		Hi... I've been following the topic for a while, and I'm also intrigued as all of you probably are Smile
Maybe it has something to do with 2 October 2008? I am not sure if this image is actually something to play with... It could be a wrong route... On the right part of the star I can clearly see EoH when I play with the image in photoshop. Besides, eye appears on 3 (as far as I remember) of the graphics... Maybe we should pot them all together? Have you noticed that arrow in a circle on 2 of the images? ("anti" image, and the image with the "pink eye") Anyway, I hope that someone will work it out, cuz I'm bit annoyed already Razz

Yeah, I tried that just now.

Here is the product.

Problem though, I had to scale the babel dots just to fit them in. So I doubt thats a lead.

I also retried overlaying it with the whole top of the page thinking the eye lines up with something. Sadly, its too close to the end to point something.
