You know, looking at the trailer again I can't help but think that the railroad crossing and the truck are similar to the ones in Close Encounters of the Third Kind (where Dreyfuss first "encounters" the aliens).

Now I'm going to have to dig that movie up to confirm it. Razz

Ok I had the window open when the line changed. since then ive opened a new tab and that one displays previously accessed on line 5. I'm wondering if its a case of if its open it will say Sectors loaded.

Has anybody kept a screen open since the very beginning? If so what does it say?

Myself I keep shutting the computer off but now it stays on.

The counter had already been "completed" awhile ago (screenshot here.) Nothing more will happen till May 13. please read through the thread before posting!

also Tab in SWF files toggles through everything that's clickable. If people want to hide stuff like that it can be disabled by the creator.

This is exactly the same thing I thought when I saw the trailer...

I have only been able to find one image of the truck from Close Encounters, and it is indeed yellow and similar shape. However the image is zoomed in close to the drivers window so it is hard to make out the details.

Comparing the Original Close Encounters Trailer is quite intriguing!
Particularly the radio convo at the beginning... as well as 1:55

Hey,

I know the counter has been completed and so far provides us with nothing. I was just inquiring as to why I might have got something different this time around. As said I left the computer one and walked away for a few hours, I come back and see the line has moved and I had something different. I just wanted to see if its because i left the window open or maybe its something else.

Then I was a complete idiot and closed the bloody window by accident.

Hopefully the site will give us something come 4AM GMT (sigh why so late) on the 14th. 8PM PSt on the 13th.

So my question to people was, have they left any windows open when the line moved and what was the phrase the terminal gave.

Does that make sense. I know it looks like I'm rambling.

Hey Automaton, chill out on the condescending attitude. you arent the God of Unfiction. I know it can be annoying when there are multiple and repeating posts but some people are new to this and dont exactly know how this all works. The only time i see you post is to denegrade someone or tell someone off about their posts. If you arent contributing something positive toward the forum , dont post at all. Or, as mama used to say, if you dont have something nice to say, then dont say anything at all. Not trying to start a fight here, we just dont need the negative attitude here. Thank you

Letters in the OFFICIAL Super-8 website

If you guys can find the letters in the trialer why not find the letters at the official website?
If you look closely there are HUGE red letters that go by quickly and they definitely seem different than the ones in the trailer...

1st POST!!!!

I don't see how I could've been interpreted as that though (I was replying to his queries after all)... I mean, I'm reminding people to check back as a general rule for those who don't know how this all works. That usually saves the most time.

I've been lurking Unfiction for years, I don't post much, but from all the time I've been here that's the best advice I can give anyone. Not here to ruffle feathers though bro.

Ok i did the tab thing myself and found that those 3 yellow boxes are the close, print and cancel buttons for the Print window.

Those are for the "Print all documents window" that is behind the terminal. They are for the "Print" "Cancel" and "Close" buttons.

Possibly related to Close Encounters?

Could this movie possibly be related to the Close Encounters?

Automaton has a point though. Unforums does include a great search feature. I know a lot of people are new and may not know about it. If you're reading this post and are new to unforums, please take a moment to familiarize yourselves with search.

http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/search.php

It's not that's we're belittling anyone for posting, it's just that when threads jump by 2 or 3 pages at a time, it can be easy to miss an important update when most of the new posts are on topics that have been discussed (sometimes at great length) in previous posts.

A wiki is well under way that should make it easier for people to familiarize themselves with the progress of the game. It can be found at http://super8.wikibruce.com

Thanks.
