The trailer now plays automatically and there is this sine wave that pops up for a second in the center.

You can see it better here..

After further review it would appear this is just it loading..

but with JJ......??

Starved for something I guess...


I did a little poking around and the TV show "The Outer Limits" from the 60s had something similar to this as part of there opening credits:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CtjhWhw2I8

Not sure if that is another possible clue or more of a tribute to past sci-fi work.
hmmmm i remembe that in outer limits now maybe its a clue or maybe it just means somethings coming

Ok, officially confused.

D. Morris is who, exactly? Real person jacked into the game? Character with real wiki info? How did D. Morris come into the picture and how sure are you that D. Morris from the swf file info is even connected to the wiki thing? Did I miss something or is that just pure speculation?

The message to stop posting publicly struck me as a message to us from whoever from behind the scenes, such as Vapor suggested. I don't know enough about 70s era computer commands to know if that was just a sim command, like "sorry, we can't find what you're looking for, please search again" and there's no "we" to it...so "I can help you" means there's no "I" - OR is it supposed to be a hidden message from someone?

If hidden message, it would seem that somewhere in all this we have should be a clue as to who "I" is and how to get access to him or her to get the help...and they want us or somebody to actually not post from an IG perspective (not us on UF).

Grrr....just confused now.

perhaps, but...

I think that wave is just a loading symbol. I'd rather know what the film stock is saying behind the preview window. Our first clue was delivered this way. Perhaps there's something there.....?

This is why I like to see gamejacks called out and identified as such. If someone had a super legit site and asked for some information, so they could "send you the next clue" (or whatever), I bet I'd be one of the first idiots sending that shit in.

On that note, Rocket Poppeteers will now be sending pipe bombs to all of our return addresses.

And get this, it was available in the 1970s for PDP-11 systems... Im just looking for anything remotely important.

Yeah, the phpBB version the forum uses doesn't jive well when parenthesis are uses in URIs. Try making your wiki links into TinyURLs like http://tinyurl.com/2vp98aj

Good idea about talk. I have a theory that "Stop posting publicly. I have answers." part was from D. Morris, trying to stop someone who is close to the truth from revealing too much and getting themselves caught and silenced by the government. D. Morris then gave instructions for installing a pdp-11 simulator and a location to download the file.

With regard to the new developments on http://www.scariesthingieversaw.com

it prompts you to mount a device… i started to look into it, and the emulated computer program (PDP-11) was used by the US military to scan in microfilm.

this website explains: http://www.midatlanticretro.org/PDP/FOSDIC.htm.

maybe there is something in that that can help out picking a virtual device from this list…

if already been posted about or unimportant im sorry Smile

nice find and kinda makes sense but i dont know enuff about comps myself would you maybe need a device to do such?since it has asked for device? anyone know if something could be done with this info?


And thats where I get lost. Could the PDP-11 even use any sort of "Device?" Maybe if we find a way to put Takle (software) on our PCs it will run when we enter the PDP-11 site, idk what device could be...
