Wow!

This sounds very interesting! This will be my first official ARG (if it truly is one) so i hope to be of some help!

I'll start analyzing the video some more until we get something new.

Pictures from end of the vid.

Here are some images from the end of video I thought might be interesting or maybe even meaningful...
(sorry for the size of the pics but i wanted the best quality...I hope there's no rule about pics that I missed...if so let me know asap)
Maybe a building outline in this background?

Looks like someone being pushed against a wall on the right and...something on the left under the eye...not sure what it is...

This looks like a mushroom cloud explosion in the vid but tell me what you think...

Here's the picture of STAC Subterranean Tactical Analysis Core

That does look surprisingly like one of the nuclear test videos from the Trinity site.

Oh, this looks cool.

It's probably promotional for something (I mean, a. high-production quality and b. sexy actress with sexy accent!). It doesn't seem reasonable that there would be something put out there like that and just left (unless of course, she has a thing for internet-geek phonesex.)

it looks like to me it's just a continuation of the wall he's being pushed against under her eye...i have no idea what the first pic is supposed to be...i'll watch the video again and try to see what's going on there.

gulp, what's the Trinity site you're referring to with the nuke pic? i just wanna make sure i'm on the same page as everyone else, since this'll (hopefully) be my first ARG...

Probably irrelevant, but that first pic looks like a knight in armor holding a lance to me.

just poking around in hopes of finding something. posting in the hopes that this will mean something to someone who is better at this.

looking for possible related websites:

http://www.binaryrevelations.com/

http://www.thestac.org.uk/

starting at frame 545 background shows something like //SAT.CLUSTER

http://sat.cluster.net.au/

http://stac.cluster.net.au/

http://www.cluster.org/

can't find any FLV cue points, but that does not mean they do not exist, I just can't find any.

beeps seem to be: ( not sure, I don't have a Morse ear )

_ = T
_ . = N
_ . = N
_ = T
_ = T
. . = I
_ . _ = K ? (could be _ . = N and _ = T )
_ . = N
. = E
. = E
_ . = N

at end of clip
_ = T
_ . _ . = C
. = E

tried comparing the original tag list with other tag lists that seemed similar. this probably means nothing, they probably just cut and pasted from another tag list, but the differences were:

amy-rose amy rose kitty lesbian

word count of original tag list ( including first letter ) :

a - 36
b - 48
c - 43
d - 29
e - 21
f - 31
g - 25
h - 31
i - 20
j - 18
k - 13
l - 28
m - 54
n - 20
o - 22
p - 42
q - 3
r - 28
s - 77
t - 41
u - 5
v - 7
w - 25
x - 2
y - 5
z - 1


tried running 70b9-23341-61-223b2 through barcode converters, no luck

will keep trying stuff

in case this means something: words spoken during close up of lips

"like animals"

"most brilliant hackers"

(?just?) "too tempting to ignore"

"is alive"

"of secrets"

i tried first / last letter anagrams - nothing made sense

i think the b's may be 6's, and the 6 in -61- is an 8, maybe that would turn up something? and just from scanning over them, it looks like most of those sites aren't for us...if any of them are part of the game, i'd guess the binaryrevelations site, and that's a stretch it seems...

but, at the same time, i really don't know much of what i'm talking about, since this is about my second day in args.. Rolling Eyes

Just from taking a look at these sites, I think that they are not part of the game.

http://sat.cluster.net.au/
http://stac.cluster.net.au/

sat.cluster and stac.cluster pages are just a default apache page. you can type in anything.cluster.net.au and you will get the same thing.

Great effort though!

Really hoping this is an ARG, as I am at loose ends now with Geist wrapped up (snif). It looks an awful lot like a video game promo, though (although that doesn't necessarily rule out arg). Some of the video clips looked like they could have been taken out of a video game.

At any rate, I doubt it's a film promo, as imdb usually lists things that are even in production, and searching on hacksaw doesn't turn up anything useful.

Edit:

graphic: "//--- ---" ("ARTILLERY"? This is unclear)]
looks to me like PRIMARY - SAT - ____

Also, if you're talking about hackers, a 1337 letter substitution for the numbers would be:

tobg zeehl bl zzebz

I tried pretending this was a vignere cypher with "Hacksaw" as the key, but no luck.

I'm in! (sorry pixie Wink )

Looks like practically the entire Geist crew is watching this one.

The really funny thing is, I watched the video without sound to start with - and by the end of it, I already had it in my mind that she was talking with an Australian accent. Is it normal for people to be able to lip-read accents?

Oh yeah, and she's TOTALLY hawt Very Happy She can hack my hard-drive anyday while I probe her ports with my RAM...
