Both pages are working OK for me.

I wonder if those 4 computers "which have never been to the site" are accessing the internet thru a cache proxy or net accelerator. Sometimes when a flash file updates, the original remains in your browser's cache or your ISP's cache.

If you had the old files in your local cache, there are ways to force a refresh -- the harshest way is to delete all of your browser's cached files -- but if it is your ISP's cache, you'll have to wait a few days for them to catch up and refresh it.

 		What if 'MONSTROUS' is a keyword for a stegged/jphide image?

I don't have any of the tools installed to check . . .

 		There isn't an actual Paramount/JJA post anywhere with the poster including the "Monstrous" tag that I'm aware of. It'd have to be an official listing online from them to be legit.

Done, must be the proxy I'm going through. Still can't see the updates here, but no big deal. Just means more time to work, I guess Cool

 		octopus hammer
This has probably been mentioned before but I think it's a real clue worth spending some time on. With the addition of hammer in the octopus' thought balloon there is now an apparent pattern.

haMMer miTTen chEEse

Double letters in the middle of a six letter word.

What's that pointing to? Look in the middle of a six letter word?

slUSho ..... Slusho is US

I don't know what's going on but hammer, cheese and mitten can't just be a coincidence.

I've tried looking at all the six letter words with double letters in the middle but the list is long and nothing jumps out.

Could smaLLest .. as in smallest whale mean anything?

Just something interesting to think about..middle letter hmm.. miDDle leTTer

They are all six letter words.

 		Also, of the 6 robots who make up Slusho, it's the middle two who have one word Japanese names, rather than two word English names.

I know I tried making a Slusho! Flavor out of just the two of them already... but maybe once we get another clue we can move forward.

Good observation.

Don't know what it means though.

Even zOOm has this double-letter thing.

 		Did you guys notice that in the music video on one of the characters myspace pages, the word "Rage" appears before the video starts.

This word also appears on the slusho page w/ the robots (I believe it's Chocolate Rage).

interesting connection (especially since this text does not appear to be an original part of said video).

maybe there are some other connections or hints in the myspace pages that could help us get some more interesting results from the robots page.

just a thought.

the Slusho is US might have something to do with the quote from happy talk refering to Slusho is People.

Perhaps this monster terrorizing NYC is a human that has been infected by whatever this mysterious ingredient from under the ocean. I mean the slusho site makes a lot of references to the fact that this slusho will turn you into a whale, so maybe we should start researching whales and mutations seeing if maybe there is something to this.

The only thing I've personally read so far regarding the Myspace/robots connection is that the colors of the robots coincide with the colors of the different character's layouts. It's a possibility though, then perhaps if we take something like the ages of the characters, match that with their colors, and add them by increment to a slusho mix(i.e. if Rob was youngest, he'd be his robot, added at increment 1, Hawk at 2, etc), maybe we'll find something... hey, that's a pretty good idea. Except I think they've decompiled the flash and shown that nothing opens with a certain mixture Sad

ROFLSAUCE as teh nubcakes and nublets say.

That's a horrible racist joke. I actually respect immigrant Hispanic laborers much more than most American workers: we're lazy, they work all day. And the whole nap thing is a good idea in my opinion.

Still funny though.

It seems like they're keeping to the MySpace tradition and just picked an already existing video on YouTube. The person that uploaded that video has been there for a while and have several other videos already, most of them rather unorthodox or inappropriate.

There's no relation; I think it's just a video that happened to be available.

Cool video, though.
