What you should say? Did you mean to albert Pike?

If so, that was a joke.. Albert Pike's been dead for years - he's listed as a contact of the whois on both the transformers/ S7 game site (sectorseven.org) and on the 1-18-08 site. Kelvin and Andy Walden, who knows....

Donkey bubbles still

Couple more things thought about after the last post:

1. The donkey is thinking of a turquoise oven mitt... as in look for something turquoise on the page -- the bubble reflection.

2. I think I wasn't being clear before, but every other character on the page has bubbles with one thick solid bar of turquoise acting as the bubble reflection. Only the donkey's bubbles have two smaller, parallel lines of turquoise. That's what I meant by them being different.

Tried zooming in with photoshop. It's gets blurry and unclear after so many zoom-ins. I'm trying some more stuff...

Welcome to ARG Land...where things aren't always as they seem.

Can you provide us with the source of this information? How did you find out? Or did you just "hear" or read it somewhere somebody else said?

Whose Apartment, Picture Speculation, and How Approach
Nothing groundbreaking, just thoughts...

I suppose the fact that I have been utterly sucked into this makes this my first official ARG I'm participating in. Well I think I've made it through all 104 pages for now Smile

. My memory isn't the greatest, but I thought I'd mention a few things I found interesting and nothing exactly groundbreaking, but eh...

First is the idea of whose apartment it is. I don't think it's THAT relevant to the story. I either go with either he shares the apartment with Slusho! Shirt Guy, or it's not his place and is JUST Slusho! Shirt Guy's. Seeing as the owner of the place obviously loves Japan, and I have friends who would fall under that category, getting a shirt for some Japanese Soft Drink company (real or imagined) would have the right amount of novelty for them to actually want to do that. Unless they're a group of Japanophiles, I'm thinking Slusho! Shirt Guy has part ownership of the place. No way you're going to setup a surprise party of that magnitude unless someone has the keys to it.

Second, in terms of the pictures on the 1-18-08.com website, some people are pointed out that Rob doesn't seem too happy and a bit restrained as people are feeding him shots which seems likely, party animal or not. The one thing I didn't see mentioned (apologies if I missed it) is no one ELSE in the picture seems to be having fun. If this was just some sort of drinking bit, I'd expect Shirt Guy (the guy feeding him drinks) would have some ridiculous smirk on his face making his buddy get all trashed. Its almost like they feel like they have to give him this stuff. Maybe it's a bit o' Slusho to give him uber powers? Razz

.

And yeah, girl on the edge of that picture freaks me the HELL out.

Third, Rob obviously knows what's up. I know that's been batted around before and pretty much certain, but I haven't seen it in awhile. His reactions are definitely more of an "oh crap, this wasn't supposed to happen" than an "OMG AHH!! RUN FOR YOUR LIIIVES". I bring it up again because despite all of the evidence that points his stuff (the hand through hair gesture had to be the biggest clue), I think we need to look more into who the person he's asking for before the SOL head comes in. People have already speculated on this, and aren't quite sure what name is said (Jesse, Jensen, Jessica, Jessy, even a Cason??) but it seems odd to just throw that in the trailer and not have it be relevant. Perhaps it's one of the dude names I mentioned and that goes back to Shirt Guy. But it has to be to a principle character IMHO.

I also worry about how the majority of people are going about this, esp on the tech side. Being a geek myself, that was sort of what got me sucked in in the first place, but I think if there were any more technical clues, we would have found it by now and for future ref, looking beneath the code of things (HTML code might be decent, but decompiling flash files??) would be more to verify what we know than something Abram's team decided to toss in.

As for the picture movements, and the idea that if you turn the drinking picture right side up and link the proposed "demon" (I honestly think it's not important and we're seeing things... but then again, why would it get it's own picture?) from the two girls picture to give Rob his new demonic head, it didn't exactly "snap" in place as someone proposed it did for me. However, I noticed the picture underneath (the party picture) moves a tad when I do this, which wouldn't make sense with the rest of the behavior seeing as I'm not touching it directly.

All in all, people are trying to figure out what the movie is based on (if anything!) and I am crossing my fingers for a Cthulhu movie... and one that is NOT starring Tori Spelling. Sort of like how Voltron was debunked because Sony owned the rights, and I know jack about the movie business, would that be allowed (another Cthulhu movie with that one coming up close?). Sure, we had Deep Impact and Armageddon, but we're talking about the same character here! But there's also the possibility that the plot is completely new, which would be a bit disappointing especially with all of the ideas Smile

.

I'm not a Lost fan really because it used to just frustrate the hell out of me and a lot of it seemed way too arbitrary and knowing it was a series, they could keep it going on FOREVER, but this definitely pulled me in hard. Seeing as he's crossed elements of Lost and Alias together, would it be crazy to think that those who still watch Lost should keep an eye out for potential clues about this movie? It seems almost too tempting not to!

And to that person who said the explosions reminded them of Chrono Trigger, you're a bastard Smile

. I'm a CT freak and always thought Square should have made a movie on it instead of that ridiculous POS called Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. Obviously, this doesn't look like a Time Travel plot at all and Square isn't mentioned anywhere Smile

.

Anyways, let's find these other sites guys! Does anyone know when the latest photo actually went online as I came on just a tad late! I have a feeling between this and the Slusho! site, the next site is staring us right in the face. Apologies if I have gone over stuff that has been gone over a billion times already. I've spent (wasted!) most of my day getting caught up on here and it seems that we've really hit a dead end! Just thought I'd toss in some thoughts Smile

What makes you believe the actor is the guy from Yellowcard?

actually, a few people seem to think its that guy. And they're not that seemingly offbase

wow, it is not like its so hard to believe...ryan lives in los angeles, and musicians are always trying to get themselves into movies just to be there, and especially with the age group of the characters in the movie, its prob a safe bet to say thats ryan key

Regarding http://wellmissyourob.wordpress.com/

There's a typo in the main header. It says Jaunary 8, but should be January 18.

Re: Donkey bubbles

I'm sorry if this has been covered already. But if you go to the Slusho site and zoom in as far as possible onto the seahorse-donkey and then do a screen cap of one of the bubbles, and then on your computer zoom into the screen cap it looks like the little turquoise lines are actually two lines of text in a very, very, very small font. There is some separation between them. I have no compute skills other than that, so I have no idea how to blow it up any further.

You'll note that the little turquoise lines that are on the donkey's bubbles (i.e. the reflection) are different than the lines on the other characters' bubbles too. Anyone willing to pursue this further?

This seems to jive with what people have been saying about the donkey being sized oddly in the programming.

Just bumping this since it seems like a pretty good lead if it is legit. I can't quite see what you mean, but I was also using paint. lol

I'm interested to see if anyone else sees anything here?

And another thing...

I had the 1-18-08 site on all day while I was at work, and it /was/ 'pulsating' when I got back. But it looks more like twitching to me. Sorta makes me think that it's not really anything but a glitch. Just sorta looks like the picture is trying to tick again, but it can't, so it twitches back and forth. I just clicked on it, and it stopped. Bleh, whatever. It was the picture of the two girls.

Yet another thing..

Who says that sites that are recently registered aren't legit? I know if they look sloppy or thrown together, it's probably just a lame fansite or something, but who's to say that the real deal isn't being released as we speak? Just don't be so fast to dismiss them. Please.
