http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeHFHvA6yC0
It is titled ARG and is very strange(posted yesterday), but i cant really understand what she is saying and there seems to be minutes of black screen at the end of the video as well.
Ive posted here just to see what you guys think.

But if you click on the link the video is still there. A girl seeing barcodes in her computer email.
Then she has a phone conversation. The active part of the video is about 2 minutes. The rest is just black screen.
The account http://youtube.com/oboelulu is 1 year old.

It doesn't allow embedding, but you can view it by clicking on the link. And it appears to be someone who is interested in Tom Tooman .

there could have potentially been other videos that were cleared out for this one. The account wasn't necessarily inactive for over a year... unless there's some way to tell a user's activity history on youtube?

If you hear her correctly as well as watch the video there is a letter and it is signed Tom 2man. I guess we know where to move this right Kona?
I don't even know if this video is IG, I would've thought there would be higher prod. value. Anyway, please move this to the appropriate thread. Thanks.

Can someone zoom in and read the Tom 2 man note on her computer screen?
Barcodes at beginning? Any new info there? I'm new at this but barcodes got this game going! any translation value there?

A cursory look suggests it's the same note and barcodes as what got all this started .
Now, if we can find someone who can tell us what she's saying once she switches from English, that'd be interesting ... if only to help us understand the intentions of whoever put this video together.

Looking at the letter, all the word spacing/word lengths match up pretty well with our trailhead letter, and the barcodes- well, the numbers 20724697187 are plainly visible, which parse out to 207.246.97.187, which as we all know lead us to www.ajkin.com . On the other side, although a little hard to see, we can comfortably assume from the left side numbers that it does show the Mayan numbers. I sent oboelulu a message today with a link to the forum, and asked where the video came from, and if s/he had an english translation of what the girl was saying. We'll see what happens.
EDIT: Message is already read by the recipient.

Now I wish I'd downloaded it. INIT_6 knows someone who speaks mandarin, and she was supposed to be translating it for him/me. Maybe she got it done, and we'll find something out.

Probably OOG video, found by a tom2man search Here's s second (player made?) video, of someone claiming to have gotten SpaceBass' letter (it has the same capital I shadow from SpaceBass' scanner) and bar codes, with a portion of it in Mandarin (?).

It might be a coincidence, but these videos could have something to do with this this call that Jane McGonigal put out , looking for bilingual jr. puppetmasters who speak English plus Mandarin (yep, drizjr, that's what it sounds like to me, just like the last one) or Japanese.
EDIT - Spelling
