ok first off, this is "Fury" that is his formidable opponent

here's things that I can pick out that hasnt been already named

PAX was crossed out in one of the files that were released on 8/13

the countdown does not now point to 12pm PST. it switched to EST.

When I first seen the files. I did notice the UK/Seatac which led me to google it. and it showed seattle airport, the UK part of it reminds me of Lionhead Studios, who created the Fable series. At E3 this year, it was shown as a tech demo, but assuming it will be out next year, the "Project Natal" and Milo/Dmitri was introduced by Lionhead. 51 said I was way off with this.

at first my assumption was that this had something to do with Dragon Age Origins. another google search of september 4th revealed that there would be a DragonCon in Atlanta, I thought maybe they would be there to announce it. I did send 51 that answer and they said that it was right in someways in others it was wrong. I also mentioned 51 is EA. since the 5th letter is E, and the first is A. My suspicion of the "announcement" or whatever happening on 9/4 was confirmed by the Countdown clock changing time zones, and the crossed out PAX on the file. The fact that they said that they would be at PAX, was just to make their presence known, not saying that they were going to announce it there.

S. Folder? could it be a Special Folder instead of San Francisco or Street Fighter?

well i really don't think anything game wise will be revealed as i don't think this has anything to do with a game announcement but rather a company thing.

i think this is to push what 51 is ya know...a new team of industry professionals trying to market differently to gamers. and i'm all in really.

they've already mentioned having lists and people being on the "what's up" group list.

they're fun...they communicate and i hope to see who's behind it at PAX. i've been reading a lot of this and it just seems like "whatis51" is a way to announced a new company to market to gamers a new way.

pretty clever. every game company and every gamers now will want to know what 51 is up to. you never see any marketing company even acknowledging gamers so this is refreshing.

if i can help market games better, i'm game.

channing, the "whats up list" was started by me. I asked 51 if, after all the secrecy and stuff are all done, and we find out what exactly IS 51, if I, a Co-Owner of LoudmouthedGamers.com could be on it. what I meant by the statement is that I wanted to be apart of their PR, or whats up list.

No, it isn't a find or anything. Just a hunch that led nowhere.

Right on schedule the 2/18 spot activated. A youtube video, with an interview of "D" comes up. Here's the link.

Disscussed in the video:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The interviewer is named Paul.
"D" is the organizer of the whatis51 project
The conference call went well.
They will be at PAX, interacting with people, especially those on "the list" from twitter.


[meta]
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If you pitch correct the audio by around 33.5% you can hear D's real voice.

I can no longer keep my silence. I just happen to know who is running the strings.

Using a reverse ip search, whatis51 is hosted on the same servers as unscripted360.com and 360rantrave.com

The style for name hosting seems to be more similar to unscripted360.com and I just so happen to frequent there myself.

The almost correct pitch change for the audio is around 22.641 where you can hear DeaconBlade perhaps talking? (he runs unscripted360.com). Audio samples to compare to are easy as he has done about 70+ podcasts for his site.

Also, he's from texas and I know we have shown that things from TX were involved.

Anyways, thats all I got because he was going to bribe my silence with more info (which I was gladly going to sell out for) but that has not happened so now I just want to ride this glorious ride!

what proof exactly do you have of this beyond just speculating? if so, i know Deacon and it would be pretty damn slick lol.

but still, i can't find any Deacon reference to this at all. i guess it could be the "D" character eh?

i'm sending him a message to ask. this guy is always up to something. for those of you who follow him on Unscripted360, then you'd know he's always doing something in the industry.

so snorkle might be on to something. the IP thing could just be a stupid coincedence. who knows.

i do want to point out though that you aren't an ideal friend if you guys really had this "bribe me for silence" thing going on. you sold him out LOL if that's true.

no response from Deacon yet. i emailed deaconSPLATunscripted360.com

any other email you guys know?

i guess though no response is pretty much a good response right? lol. isn't that how it goes...you deny it, it's you. you don't deny it and say nothing, it's you haha.

this makes it all the more interesting now though. if Deacon is a player in this. he's a pretty big player with a lot of industry people. if it's something he's involved in, then i gotta get on that list!!
