I was thinking about the Coin-Operated Boy video in the wee hours of the night, and it occurred to me that we've been thinking a bit linearly about the subject of the video and interpreted it as being about love. Considering OpDyla is associated with Intrepid Biotech, isn't it possible that he intended the song to be more of a message on how science perfects human beings? kinda like how human emotions and nature are obsolete? I'm gonna give this a try and see what I get back.

Shadowcolossi1988 here is a nice little tool for this http://www.paulschou.com/tools/xlate/

start by posting the code you got into the hex field then hit decode. then watch the text area and copy and paste it to the correct area. Keep doing that until you get something in the text area that is readable.

Here is my email correspondence thus far:

Thesb: I hear of a test...

OpDyla: A test for thee is a challenge I presume?

Thesb: You have presumed correctly. A challenge is what I'm looking for.

OpDyla: 49 43 35 6c 59 32 35 6c 61 57 4e 54 6f 45 51 75 5a 57 5a 70 54 43 42 73 59 57 35 79 5a 58 52 46 49 43 35 77 5a 57 56 73 55 79 42 30 4a 32 35 68 51 79 41 75 63 6d 39 79 63 6d 56 55 49 43 35 74 59 57 56 79 44 51 3d 3d

Which translates to:

ream. Terror. Can't Sleep. Eternal Life.D Science.
I'm guessing the D was a misplaced part of Dream. I'm not sure if it was intentional or something that got messed up during encoding/decoding.


Thesb: I am curious if the work going on at Intrepid Biotech purely scientific in nature. I can't help but believe something is being kept secret.

OpDyla: Intrepid Biotech has a secret. Do you wish for me to tell you it?

Thesb: Yes, I would certainly like for you to tell me the secret.

New Email

Thanks for the link. I figured there was something like that out there, but I could only find ones that would only translate a single style. Anyway, new email.

Notice the bold "D" again. Also, he(she?) spells "there" like "their." Could be just a typo, but he did it twice, so maybe it means something?

YouTube Videos

Well, ive been looking at the two youtube videos and have noticed a few things.

First, in the coin operated boy video, if you look at the image of the red doll with the tear drop, there seems to be an image imbeded in the background. To me it kind of looks like the outline of a girl's head. Perhaps the hidden message is in the images, and not the song itself, or maybe I am just crazy and seeing things that dont exist.

Second, in the "There plans are Succeeding" video, there is a flash of a building at 0:23. I have no idea what this building is, but it may be important due to the fact that it is flashed on the screen, as opposed to the rest of the images which seem to stay up for quite a bit longer.

just throwing out new ideas

k got a reply from my hypothesis about the message of coin-operated boy. I was right after all, I'm guessing this game will be about the pursuit of immortality and perfection by Intrepid Biotech, just throwing it out there.

The reply: Very Clever. IERvIHRoZXkgc3R1ZHkgcGVyZmVjdGlvbiBvbmx5IHRvIHJlYWxpemUgd2UgYXJlLg0=

What I wrote: Very well, this is another attempt to find out the message of the coin operated boy video. Is the message perhaps that science is able to improve and better humanity in ways that can make human beings and emotions obsolete? Science above nature?

Hope this helps

Do they study perfection only to realize we are.


that's what it decodes to so I'm guessing I'm on the right track...

The Building

I know what the buliding that flashes in the second video is. It's the Cincinnati Union Terminal. Heres the link to where I found it.

Heres the pic.



I'll send an email asking about this.

I just realized that in his latest video, the title is There Plans Are Succeeding. My last response I had from him said:
Quote:

He will meet me their. Evil Man. He's always their. He is one of the Dream elders.


Do you notice the usage of "their" and "There?"

Yeah, that's the fourth time the PM has reversed them, by my count. In fact, I can't think of a time they were used properly. As you said earlier, this could have been a typo; but after four times, it's becoming increasingly clue-ish.

As much as I would like to believe that they mean something, I'm guessing they're just spelling errors.

Just a little bit of Sammeeeees connection - Coin Operated Boy lyrics were posted on a character MySpace during the SAMII game. The PM for Sammeeeees is labfly - she is a writer for LG15.
