He said the rest of it was all empty, no video data at all, so he cut out that stuff... but then again, I wonder if there isn't more...

Interesting, but here's the what we know:

The "camera" cannot move. Rather, the world moved towards the camera. At least, that's what R.F. claims so....

[Chronus_Valtiel]

This looks interesting, and the title's a great hook.
Is it too late to jump into this from the beginning?

[Azirphaeli the Oracle]

I think this pretty much is the begining...

[Chronus_Valtiel]

Aight, cool.
I'm probably always going to ask this before I read a thread that's around three + pages.

EDIT: has anyone noticed the initials R.F.?
That paired with Red King could be a Dark Tower/Stephen King reference.
But then again, it could be nothing....

Disregard that last edit and color me trout. I see this has been discussed before.

[brimstoner]

Yes I know it was discussed, but I think people are glossing it over. RF, Randall Flagg. Red King, Crimson King. There is a dark tower movie in the works right now, and there is a comic book out for the dark tower right now. I am convinced this is a Stephen King/Dark Tower reference.

[Chronus_Valtiel]

Hmm, now that you say that, so am I.
And, pardon my gushing...

True, that. And this isn't the first time a project or experiment has been named after a character in Alice in Wonderland (the computer in the Resident Evil movie was named the Red Queen).
I'm gonna stand by Stephen King for the moment, if only because I'm a die hard fan, but this R.F. guy doesn't seem bad at all....

I don't mean to be a killjoy, but I don't think this is a business-backed ARG.

TOS for Blogspot:

So unless Google has given permission to King Crimson/The Dark Tower movie to use Blogspot as a promotional vehicle, this isn't backing any product. Until shown otherwise, its more logical to assume this is an independently run game.

[Chronus_Valtiel]

Hmm... well there goes that theory.... But there IS the possibility that they do have Goog's permission.
ANYWAY there's no real reason to find out what the ARG is about and start looking for actual clues. The answers always come with time.
The scientific team were obviously affected by the video they watched, and the higher-ups obviously wanted to study it confidentially. And there's still no word on the sounds that were heard on the video, and I somehow think that that's where the next clue is.
I must admit I'm pretty scared of what we'll hear.
Freakin' Wyoming Incident's scarred me for life....

this is probably notthin but it seems intresting this is from his blog...

On that note, why would the subject's subconscious show the subject waking up in terror?
I mean, this guy was terrified, looking at him. And I believe the armless man (or the subject) and the man the "camera" was going toward (the guardian) are much different entities.
And, judging the subject's apparent terror, I'd guess the guardian's not a nice person.
Then again, the subject's terror was probably involving the experiment and the guardian was just trying defend the subject's mind.
But why the mental effects on the scientists? Why the "Why?" R.F. hears upon waking? Or the times when he hears his name called? Or the fact that he saw the computer-generated image of the guardian outside his house?
Could they have unleashed something from this man's mind?
