Child Of The Storm?

[Nola]

Creepy... although it seems to me that the video is supposed to be hidden... someone hacking into this guys laptop cam and phone cam. It is evident when he's driving. Now, the vids are a bit old.

I've uploaded the video for download. You need an 'FLV' player to play back the youtube file format.

Hey I've been kind of lurking around this forum for about a year now and these vids were enough to make me sign up but anyway I found these on Wiki this is the paragraphs with the vids. I don't know but maybe they will give a clue if this is infact an ARG.

First vid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_current

Second http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_Currents

I don't see anything in those links above that relate to this.....

Go back to the Youtube clip. look at the box on the right of the vid. this is where the information about the poster and vid is stored. when you submit a video, you are given space to write a little blurb about the vid, what's going on, etc. Most people use this as a way to generate hits for their vid.

For instance, if you've got a video of this cute little kitten that you just got, being the cutest its ever been in the entire five minutes you've had it, your blurb would go something like this (if you were a 14 year old girl):

OMG! Fluffykins was being the KYOOTEST while playing with a ball of yarn! watch him romp and play! Best kitten EVAR!~

So, now, your vid will appear when anyone searches for kitten, yarn, ball, play, fluffy, and Soren Kierkegaard (because youtube's search function isn't the best in the world...)

Alternatively, let's say you just recorded a vid of your girlfriend being moderately provocative (but not TOO provocative, for that may offend the Youtube Diety). you want to host it there because you want access to it at anytime, but you don't want anyone randomly stumbling across it because, well, Shana's been stressed out lately, and she eats alot when she's stressed...

So, you put some random gibberish in there so it doesn't index with anything other than fjklffksder.

Now, all this rambling is to say that it looks like our Storm person posted these videos with the intention of someone stumbling across them in a completely unrelated way. He used clips from the text of those two articles, chronicling the battle of AC vs DC between Edison and Tesla (and Westinghouse, but no one likes him.) Furthermore, his account profile is a Tesla quote.

Now, as to how this all relates? I don't know. Electricity, Power, the power over man via direct electronic surveilence, Meh.

But I really hope this goes somewhere. I'm dying for a good game.

Yeah, I've seen them too, the ramblings on the vids connect together. Still don't make any sense.

I noticed something odd in childofthestorm's youtube profile.

The first is the quote:

[lollipop00]

hi all to go along with the post above me....

so the quote on his youtube is from a book by Nikola Tesla, On Light and Other High Frequency Phenomena.


not sure if it matters but the quote actually appears to be wrong in the youtube profile:
So inconceivably complex are the processes a single ray of light from a distant star falling changed the destiny of a tyrant in bygone times, nations, may have upon the eye of, may have altered the course of his life, may have transformed the surface of the globe, so intricate, of nature.
but the quote really is, from what i've found on the web:
A single ray of light from a distant star falling upon the eye of a tyrant in by-gone times, may have altered the course of his life, may have changed the destiny of nations, may have transformed the surface of the globe, so intricate, so inconceivably complex are the processes in Nature.



i really hope this ends up being something, but even if not it is interesting to read about nikola:

"According to legend, Tesla was born precisely at midnight during an electrical storm....."

works with the youtube user name childofthestorm.

guess we wait and see!

i tried for hours last night to use a program to get the frames but only half the video was saving into it and i couldn't correct it which annoyed me because in the end of the video there are even more frozen images.

but from what i was able to see (i'll try again later and post them if im successful) is that all the videos do seem to be from surveillance or security cams (at least from video 1...i got to tired to try with video 2).


...still hoping this does end up being something as it looks creepy and entertaining.
