is that a barcode along the side? a postal barcode?

translating the tall and short dashes to 1's and .'s
and using http://www.triskelion-ltd.com/postnetj.html

I took 111...1...1.11....11.11......111..1...11.1.1...1..1.11....11.1

and decoded it to "07630-1839-46 with a checksum of 3"
it calls it a "POSTNET 11 digit delivery point ZIP code"
Which is in Emerson NJ.
someone should send a package.
Or maybe we can find the street address that corresponds to this zip code.
or maybe it's the 11 digits that are our next puzzle.

Um, as far as I can tell, that's the exact same picture that's up at the real metacortechs site. The barcode thing on the right means nothing. It's just a result of the filter I originally put the picture through.

Somebody has way too much time on their hands.

This whole thing is pretty amazing. Freaky, but amazing. Can't wait till they deal with Wongmo... Smile

The credits, by the way, are really interesting.

I didn't play this game, but I really enjoyed reading the behind the scenes stuff. Fascianting look into a PM's world.

I find that incredibly freaky that the barcode translates to EMERSON, new jersey.

I mean, of all the random things ...

Well, Borsch-Poo to you.

Heh, guys, it's actually not the same image - the barcode has been added. Observe attached pics.
