I am guessing that the picture in the LA is burning video is of Macarthur Park and the song that is playing near the end is called Tranquilize by The Killers.

Knew I recognized that song somewhere.

Anyway, the 1st photo on LastPalmTree looks like it might be the building, but I'm not sure.

Ok, so we have a ton of mentions of the wilshire area. The most recent post on LPT indicates that the first picture is from the wilshire area. I don't remember seeing that building in the case1017 movie though..

Also, the video from bigedwinla appears to open up with mcaurthur park, which is near wilshire..

unfortunately, wilshire pretty much spans the width of LA, but I agree, it may not be on wishire but maybe one or two streets over

Ha, yeah, I noticed..but..

That university he mentioned is located about 2 blocks west of McCarthur park, on wilshire..so I think our general area is going to be around that park..

I agree, I also noticed there's a lot of buildings of similar style to the one's we're looking for in that area.


The search continues....

I feel the need to mention this, I sent that photo, so I am not sure if his comments about it are relevant to the game/story.

at the beginning of the cell phone video (new on eric's youtube) it says

"map our logic 108020" i can gather that 108020 can be re arranged to 10 2008, the releases date so maybe thats a clue that "map our logic" is an anagram ?

http://www.mapourlogic108020.com/

definitely an anagram...

Truckload of anagrams for that...

Most amusing so far is "Glamour Cop I".

To be fair, they are just checking to make sure their viral marketing is generating buzz. A bad investment gets cut off and I would hate for them to decide to finish this before it ends.

I'm quite certain they were monitoring the Cloverfield sites as well.\

After viewing the source, I found something interesting...

<meta name="keywords" content="...(Lots of stuff)...Quarentine, Quarantined, REC, [Rec], Cloverfield, Dexter,...(More Crap)"

Lol wut?

I think they know how big a fanbase clover received trough its virals, so they added the keyword so it'll pop up in searches for clover, and hopefully generate a fanbase that's already crazy about virals.
