 		According to iliketofix on the Cubist forums, the fifth video is now online. He says search for hackjob johnny on Ares. So somebody who actually has Ares want to field this one? Since I don't have it and don't plan on getting it.

VERY interesting. And BEK is making an appearance at the end.

Text is:
YOU CANNOT HIDE FOREVER

WE STAND AT THE DOOR

I ran the Greek words through Webster's Online Dictionary, and this is a rough translation of what I got:

Caustic Words
Disrepute
Repulsive
Hopeless
Discord
Barbarism
Paranoia
Wilting
Materialism

The only thing that I can connect to the videos is the last word, Materialism, seems to be the message of the fourth video (YOU CAN LOSE EVERYTHING. NOTHING IS PRICELESS.)


Hi there. I've been following this on and off since I've seen this here and I finally think I can contribute. See, I'm something of a Classics student (or once was), so I can possibly help here.

Some of these seem to be the children of Nyx. I can't actually read Ancient Greek, so translating them is hard, but there is definite correspondence between Caustic Words and Momos, Hopelessness and Moros, Discord and Eris and Disrepute and Dolos.

Alternatively, they could be the children of Eris (Discord) that were released when Pandora's Box was opened, such as Dysnomia (Lawlessness, possible link to barbarism? It has to be remembered barbarian had a specific context in Greek and only became pejorative later on).

However, if they are meant to be the nine brothers, then you need to cross out Eris and Dysnomia entirely.

Either way, I suggest using www.theoi.com as an online resource for Greek mythology, its extremely comprehensive in this regard, often citing original texts.

Finally, I can't help but think that "Dark muses" have a disturbing relation to the somewhat worrying Neo-Pagan fringe practice of Tartaric demonology, the practice of calling upon the evil creatures imprisoned in Tartarus for aid and help. Its probably nothing to do with it, but the context of it made me wonder....

 		Maybe the demons will help me win the lottery... MWAHAHAHAHA*coughhackwheeze*

Ironic, that you should mention demons, what with the name of the first murderer and all...

 		Does Anyone want to chat?
Soo, no one has come into the chat channel I've made. ::Sadface::

If you don't have an IRC client, UNF offers a java-based chat client which you can use. I'm always idling in the channel, and it's registered, so don't feel shy, come in and idle, or chat when you can. Here is the link for the java applet;

http://www.unfiction.com/chat/

For the channel name, just type in #HappyCube

EDIT::

Also, looking back through the random, nonsensical blog entries of 2006, notice they are all posted on the 3rds, 13ths, and 30ths of each month. Interesting.

One question, hm?

While I'm quite creeped out by this, at least we get that chance to ask another question. But what to ask, at this point? We're swimming in information we can't make much sense of, and it seems we have previous information from him that we haven't made sense of also. Maybe we should use this opportunity to catch up on what we're missing, instead of opening a new can of worms. Questions about the Robert he mentions, questions regarding the relevance of the 3's, things of this nature would be good imo.

 		While this has nothing to do with anything, I found it kind of funny that the second face looks a little like Donald Rumsfeld.

 		Can someone mention to one of the mods to potentially move this to ARGs with Potential? Unless I check this really regularly, I'm having trouble keeping up with the new stuff posted, as well as searching through things...I think 30 pages, an IG forum and multiple videos/sites justifies it lol

 		I have no problem asking the question, but I don't think we should speculate openly about what that question is going to be. The guy is obviously keeping an eye on us, no need to give him ammunition to deceive us with.

 		It doesn't matter to me, but here are the questions I personally would like answered:

Are there hidden messages we have received that we haven't detected/decoded? (For instance, capitalized letters, additional things in the videos)

Who are the Children? (I'm guessing it's the BEK, so it's not TOO important, but we do need to figure out the link.) We've got some type of family here with Sisters and Brothers, and if so how did they make children? (Guess they are from <insert>)

Who are the people that are unworthy of receiving the videos?

(And one I need to research myself,) how did we get the link to the Happy Cube website?

I'm going to post a bit more on the IG board, see what I can stir up.
