I was under the impression that was actually a closeup of a block of chocolate.

 		Hey, is anyone else confused as to how we're supposed to be making a video for Slusho w/o any Slusho artwork, color scheme, etc? I was also wondering how we're supposed to be making "anti-tagruato" gear for tidowave w/o any supporting artwork of tagruato's logo... I emailed tidowave about this and also posted on their bulletin board a request for tagruato artwork be emailed to me but have gotten no response.

I have no video experience or I'd be requesting art to make a video too...

The Slusho site has wallpapers and buddy icons (animated, no less) that give you all the image fodder you really need. You can also work from screenshots of the site and decompiled pieces of the Flash. Same holds true for the Tagruato site.

The only animation I seel that is easily accessable would be the buddy icon which is low-res & unsuiable for anyhing besides an Icon, I assume you could extract the Slusho logo from the desktop image but see no other copies of logos available anywhere.

I work for a design company, so we have access to most everything Adobe besides Flash, so no dice there for me. I have asked here on UF (in a few threads) for the art extracted from the FLAs but have not gotten any help.

That's the real question - IS there anyway to enhance it and see it clearly? If not, then, we should just ignore it. We should heed the words of Wittgenstein: "What we cannot speak of we must pass over in silence." In other words, if all we have, ultimately, is a blurry image, then that's all we have. And, the rest, as Hamlet said, is silence...


Indeed, the picture may not be important, the issue of the mermaid (?) attempting to nail it up using the hammer is probably more important.

Which is just as well because I believe the laptops are going to be available in the New York office from the 15th January and shipped on the 20th Wink

 		Re: [SPEC] The writing on the door in the commercial
What does it mean?

I honestly searched for "door commercial slusho" and "writing door commercial" and found nothing ...

There's a symbol in the middle of the door when the moose first appears. I'd post it, but the internet is down at home, I'm at work.


It's vaguely like this:
Code:

   |
  -+-
   |\
  /| \


I think there's 2 lines on the right going down at 45o and one on the left

When the moose starts yelling at the guy, and light is flashing in from the door you can see it.

[keywords]symbol kanji writing door slusho commercial moose[/keywords]
... That MIGHT be "tree." I'd have to see a screencap to be sure. :/ I hope it's not; there's a kanji for "origin" or "beginning" that looks alot like the tree kanji.... And I just feel like "origin" might make more since... :\


Well, a kanji for tree is 木
and kanji for origin, beginning and book is　本

I also hope, it's origin, but it seems to miss the fifth stroke...

 		Is anyone sure this is actually a legit contest? Didn't someone reference that Alienware isn't owning up to sponsoring the contest prizes on their website? And the suspicious wording of the prize conditions makes me think this is just a hint that Tagruato is aware that some imminent disaster is either feasible or unavoidable.

Maybe they will post the videos anyway, but I doubt anyone is actually going to win. Anyone who has submitted their video should post and let us know what happens.

You should have someone in the US enter for you, and if you win, they can send you the prize.

 		contest rules...again
[quote=http://www.slusho.jp/contest/rules.html] If any group of individuals elects to collaborate on the Materials (including without limitation a Submission), they are required to designate the individual submitting the Submission as the agent of the group to enter the Contest, to agree to these Official Rules and accept any prize (if judged the winning Submission) on behalf of the group. Neither Sponsor, nor any of the Contest Entities, are liable for any disputes between collaborators arising under or related to the Contest. If a dispute as to the identity of an entrant cannot be resolved to Sponsor's satisfaction, the affected Submission will be deemed ineligible. [/quote]

They seems to have knowledge that a group would be likely to enter. Like what we are doing here at Uf, we collectively participate as a group. It seems highly plausible that some of you guys will team up to participate in that contest. Those contest rules where not written lightly, but with an ARG-oriented purpose.

 		I've been thinking about this new commercial and the contest today at work. While I can't spec. on whether or not the contest is real, this is my thought. I believe this is a advertisment cover up of anything "scary bad" tidowave has implicated tagruato of. A counter move to the hack and new tidosite getting so much attention. Tagruato can't outright say they've been hacked and are being pursued and infiltrated by a tidowave for crimes against mother earth. It would bring the attention to the negative. So to pull would be sympathizers from tido, they are giving away $3000 computers. And just watching the dang commercial makes you happy!
