I'm intrigued. Will keep an eye on this, see how it develops.
FYI, base64 in the most recent post:

some random thoughts: there's a LOT of references to various video games. I don't know if they're just using them as a common frame of reference, but one thing that did jump out at me: the events occur at 3:33 AM. I never played the game, but a friend of mine got freaked out by that number for a few weeks because of "Eternal Darkness" on the Gamecube. Apparently that number features heavily in the game. (And, of course, it's half of 666).
Also, in the very first post, there were some lines that looked like lyrics. Googling them led to a forum called "Within Hubris". I've never heard of it, but it seems fairly active? Googling "Within Hubris" led to a related facebook page, looks like it might have been an ARG? In which case, not sure if this is a spinoff or what

Within Hubris is the forum for the haunted majora's mask cartridge. I've mentioned this there with a time line that quoted some pieces, so It's more likely that they aren't related other than the discussion thread for it =) It seems that characters lurk in the shoutbox page, and they are releasing pictures and such with coding, and there are youtube videos that have sprung up as well.

Right, this ARG's moving at BREAKNECK speed. Most of the solving seems to be taking place on the blog's shoutbox, but everyone's stumped on this latest puzzle:

only hint:

It's been tried using 'novavioletadrenalrarity' as a key, result is:

looks like three sentence fragments - question, statement, question - the 'demon' setting the puzzles tends to have his words run together. so, that's where it's at, everyone's stumped - anyone got any ideas?

I used subsitution. Typo as is based on the arrangement of letters it seems. Also, I added the spaces to make it easier to read.

Feeling a bit dense today. What is the first step of decoding this with the keyword?

This ARG is moving so fast I am not able to be a regular so I think I'll just stick what I come up with here.
The latest update in the cipher thread on the forum says something about a possible cipher in the initial blog entry from Requited Silence (http://endlessinsanity.blog.com/?p=81 ):

(may possibly decode into "GOODLUCK", if someone finds out how, share asap)
I don't really know about a cipher, but it just looks to me that "CanvaS tHree" is an anagram for:

Cant Save Her
The rest still looks like gibberish to me, and even this small solve doesn't compare with the other kinds of ciphers that have come up recently, but will keep on lurking.
