Luckily I had another computer handy which worked for me and I managed to get a screenshot (9 actually Smile ) covering both of the documents found after cracking the password for "Internet", it's a lot so is there a way I can condense maybe into 1 file so it would be easier on the forums. Smile

Okay so trying it again it seems as if the eclipse is indeed the trigger for the anomaly stage...

I also have been playing with the ProjectB6 page and if you hover over a symbol, you see writing appear. Each symbol causes something different to appear -- usually stuff like ASTRONOMY or TRUTH. As mentioned before, clicking then opens up a OOG link to some website about that concept, often wikipedia.

I matched the boxes from the orbiting symbol thing to the symbols on the ProjectB6 page, and these are the words associated with each of those boxed symbols, organized by the boxes that are connected by lines on the orbiting symbol page [i hope that makes sense]:

CONSORTIUM
DEMONOLOGY
ASTRONOMY
METAMORPHOSIS
CUNEIFORM
GENETICS
ATOM
GOVERNMENT
POLITICS
PARADOX
MATERIALISM

MATTER
OPTIMISM
OIL
MOON

TOLERANCE
SIN
GREED

MYSTERY
WEAPONS
SUN


Nothing obvious in those clusters. The most interesting one is CONSORTIUM (the very first one) -- if you click on it, the page 'melts' and you are taken to what looks like a countdown. When I did it just now it reads:
2010
D 193:
:07h
M11:
s41

193 days from now???

this looks very, very interesting, especially as a sort of promotion to a yet to-be-announced video game.

the timer is counting down to July 14th, 2010, which is also bastille day i believe, though i don't think that's relevant. there will also be a total solar eclipse on the 11th as well, but the date might be moreso video game related (though i haven't come across any games being released on that day yet).

i haven't tried fastforwarding my computer clock to the date to see what result it yields, but i'll look soon enough.


i also noticed mousing over a symbol will produce a sound from a piano key being pressed, with different notes for each one.

clicking on a symbol to one of the off-site webpages causes the projectb6 page to be temporarily replaced with a black page, with a slowly turning simple graphic of the earth, although flashing.

those two last things may just be fancy effects but i'm just mentioning them here in case they are used for anything.

well according to http://bit.ly/4qDVZr (sorry link was long) The only release is an EXPECTED Fallout MMO for the PC, but that is just spec. and there is no specific date.

Global Industries

Ok, I googled the name global industries from the journal and found http://www.mantelglobalindustries.com

I can't tell if this site is related, or part of another arg though.

Wow Great find!

definitely related, I was digging through the source, lots of keywords, but I'm not that understanding of source so someone should look for something abnormal, the one interesting thing I found was this:

"The year 2025, life is sweet for the private army of Mantel Global Industries - dominant on the battlefield thanks to the company providing them with the best armour, the best vehicles, the best weapons, and the best medical support. On top of all that, they've got Nectar - a nutrition supplement that allows soldiers to push their bodies to the limit. Or so they think."

Now that I think, it seems completely different from our alternate universe thing going on, but it is interesting, and if not related, definitely part of some game.

that seems to be for another video game for the PS3, called Haze

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haze_(video_game)

Considering that this came out in 2008, I doubt this is related (unless it's the same universe or something... I haven't looked at this closely).

http://interdimensionalgames.com/radix_content/RADIX51_FAQ.txt

found this through a google search just now. interesting that i didn't see it earlier when i searched for "interdimensional games"

it appears to be a a text document-based faq for a old game called radix: beyond the void, which was published by epic games (known for gears of war)

the backstory provided there has some interesting bits of info, including some stuff about interdimensional physics....

why IDG would have it up on their site, not to mention a folder called "radix_content", i find intriguing...

also, searching for "interdimension games" comes up with the interdimensionalgames.com site on google, but in the site description is a bunch of numbers, most prominent being 2010, 7, and a 13.

i'm pretty sure getting the anomaly to appear is related to the quote from the press release where the moon passes in front of the sun, which at that moment interdimensional travel is possible.

in this case, on the site, you have to wait until the moon meets an exact point in front of the sun before the anomaly shows up.

All you have to do to get the anomaly is click on the Moon and then the 'Event' button on the top left corner of the Moon's information screen. After the anomaly is triggered, clicking on the Earth will take you even further...


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.mantelglobalindustries.com/us/ seems to definitely be In Game.

There is also-
http://mantelglobalindustries.com/uk/ which is essentially the same except that the 'Products' page actually has some content.

Reading about the 'Nectar' I noticed mention of Nova-Keto-Thyrazine.
A quick search for that turns up
http://moa.dracandros.com/Nova-Keto-Thyrazine which then, if you click on the link for Mantel Global will reveal that this is directly related to the game Haze.

This is Viral and the countdown is likely representative of some new games release date.

I don't know. My gut says mantel is part of something else. Besides, wasn't the name of the company Worldview Industries? EDIT: Oh, hm...
