 		Made Combat Officer as well and got the same psych evaluation as pixie's second attempt

Quote:
Your responses indicate a desire to escape from your troubles, and a fear that this action will destroy what you've already achieved.
These conflicting emotions sometimes cause you to be abnormally irritable and impatient when your needs are not met. Your concentration is also impacted, often leaving you feeling groggy or agitated.
The ensuing anxiety usually leaves you feeling vulnerable. As a result, you become less affectionate with people you care about. You occasionally become caustic and even needlessly cruel.
This stems from your own insecurity and fear of failure. Leveraging your ability to remain strong in the face of adversity — an ability you've proved to possess in the past — is the key to your emotional satisfaction.
You have a strong opinion of your own abilities, which is deserved. You are sharp and intellectually discerning when the need arises. In times of great stress, you have the will power to make difficult decisions.

 		Just made "Operation Chief." There was a button labeled "Proceed to restricted access."

Not sure if the link will work, it is:

The restricted area grants access to surveillance photos.

In case it makes all of the difference, I drew a

Hope this helps!

 		I drew a

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
man holding a gun (brother was in the army) with explosions everywhere
which is what I drew exactly when I was a kid, but it was weird to see the subliminal cues towards it.

I agree. My drawing was a simple one from my childhood as well. It would have been cool to see the clips played back for your drawing.

So, new to all this I was hopeful that the "files" would lead to clues. These are just show promos though, right? Will there be more to this?

 		the subliminal clues are sometimes not actually there, but written in as changed history. For instance
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
They do seem to expect a house - and as an ex preschool teacher, i can tell you that is because for a kid that {or a family} is about the #1 drawing. That said, the picture in round 2 of the little girl HONESTLY has the house drawing behind her. HOWEVER if you draw anything else {on advice from a friend i went through about 6 times drawing different things} they will change the "flash back" to that picture so the drawing behind her is different {for instance, i drew a monster that i guess wasn't very good - the picture behind the girl become a picture of a dog}
What I want to know, and don't have the time nor skills for, is what is ACTUALLY being said backwards, if anything, since that also changes depending on what you draw, and very often doesn't appear to fit.

When you play again, just don't log in, just continue. it appears to remember who you are and use your facebook pictures again. Smile

 		I wanna know how they would be able to tell what the drawing was /of/ in the first place, because mine barely looked like a house but it was still a house. O__o Technology is awesome sometimes. :p

 		I'm a bit confused. I completed the first test twice and my results were among the upper 2 or 20% (i took some different answers the second time). Than i login with FB and after that it just shows me the introduction page to the second test (self identity) but it doesn't start.

Am i missing something?

What are you using? IE, Firefox, or Chrome? Could be a browser issue...

 		Firefox 11.0 on Ubuntu 10.10, which is no longer supported, so that i can't get any new updates for FF.

So f it's a browser issue i'd have to switch to Unity (which is crap IMHO).

As part of my intense bouts of paranoia, I checked this -- the "primary" answer shows the correct reversal. Glad to hear there's more than one "secondary" image!

Drawing a "monster" (I went with a cyclops with fangs) also reveals a secondary result

 		Package from Byzantium
Got a package from Byzantium Security over the weekend. It contained a lovely puzzle box with a slick looking little USB inside. All of the files on the drive are password protected, and so far I haven't figured out the password because I am lame.

Pics and a rundown (with some light reviewage) here: http://blog.toenolla.com/?p=499

So far, I've not been able to get a password out of the clues given to me to unlock the files, although...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The letters etched into the puzzle anagram into the word 'HOURGLASS.'


I'd love to post the files, but until I find the password, I have to share it as a single 300mb .zip file, which is rather cumbersome. Can anyone recommend a file sharing service?

There are a lot of them out there but I personally use Dropbox (http://www.dropbox.com). I think they give you 2GB to start with for free. I don't recall if you need to be referred or not so send a PM if you can't create an account.
