I was pointed at this site by a friend, haven't figured out the whole thing yet, I'll leave it here if anyone wants something to do.

Hmm. Interesting that the name is scrambled: not xbox360 but 063xobx.

I'd say that that probably means it's not official -- the "real" xbox360 domain names have most likely all been registered by Microsoft.

The site is registered through GoDaddy to Depthware, administrative contact one Nathan Carr.

The Depthware site doesn't seem to have much on it.

In other words, it's not official, but the puzzles may still be fun. Smile

Well we're supposed to pick out what's not from

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Halo


the only things I know for sure are:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
BFG (that's from Unreal)
I believe "Crazy King" isn't right either
I also don't remember "The Jackals" either.
Sadly, I'm stumped beyond this. I've tried many combinations, and don't get it. But I also realize the title is "V" do not belong or something, so we're looking for 5 incongruent items.

Have you noticed, that all other levels where in the directory of the same name as the level itself, but this one is in the directory "jollyasteroid". The first page is named "jellyapples".

The Question is J.A.?

And you found out J. Allard. His first name is James (taken from this article)

I don't know, if this is of any help?!

Dorkmaster, where did you find that Halo clue? I think I missed this one.

actually:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
BFG is from DooM
Crazy King is a Halo/Halo2 KotH gametype in which the hill moves every minute or so.
Jackals are a Covenant enemy from Halo/Halo2

I haven't found anything related to Halo up to level 5. Is this in level 6 or after? And if so, would you post a hit about the user/pass in level 5?

Honestly, the first time I somehow bypassed this the first time.

I never had to do the password thing before.

Anyway, I dunno how to crack it.

For the password one:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Notice the pic is backwards? The password is 'J' but you'll have to work out the username yourself Wink


Halo words that dont belong:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Summit Strike, Major Jones, BFG, Zorga and The Column of Doom


edit - eep, put one of the wrong ones in Confused

In level 7 I'd suppose:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):


The URL says something about the gamertag. I would think it refers to J Allard's gamertag, only I don't know where to put it...

I'll gladly provide assistance on 10 if you can help me on 9.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Best I can figure is it's a "Select" button somewhere in the viz menu.
I don't have a 360 or have access to one I can turn off and on.
Seems I'm always tagging along somewhere behind you on these.
