Hopefully some more info pops up from the magazine and it isn't just a red herring.

It seems pretty basic like guy said all you need find out is what's in box or does that lead to something else? Either way I believe the riddle is the most important thing. Also does the guy's favorite videos have anything in common?

Apocalyptic Unforgiven

Ammo/Explosions going off.

Well either way I think its pretty much impossible at this point to get it.

I extracted the red cube pic from the swf file and there seems to be some text in the background... can anyone read that? or is anyone able to make it readable with the help of some application. I don't have any clue about photoshop and that stuff...

Has anyone emailed him at this address yet?

tim.smit(SHIFT+2)bkv.hku.nl

He provided it in the 'Urban Security Suit' thread at Yanko. Apparantly he goes to the Utrecht School of the Arts. Compare these pics at:

http://www.yankodesign.com/2008/04/28/body-armor-fashion-design-armorni/

and

http://www.hku.nl/web/MaakKennis/Defqon2008.htm

Haven't watched the other vids listen on his channel to see if he is in them, perhaps someone else can.

I've been trying to access the FTP, it seems that it will accept ANY username and state that it is OK. No luck yet.

Just realized that TIMSMIT is a palindrome, probably means nothing but neat nonetheless...

www.oceanic-air.com

The site www.oceanic-air.com is lost related. Under the yellow announcement it says,

We regret to announce that Oceanic Airlines has ceased all operations effective immediately.

Michael Orteig, President of Oceanic Airlines, released this statement: "After 25 years of service, we are forced to close our doors. Due to financial difficulties in the wake of the Flight 815 tragedy, we are no longer able to sustain service. We are deeply sorry that we can no longer serve our loyal customers, and apologize for any inconvenience our decision will cause."

Passengers of Oceanic Airlines are encouraged to contact their travel agent or one of Oceanic's airline partners to make alternate travel arrangements.

But when you scroll over it with your mouse you get more text that says,

I survived a horrific plane crash and am stranded on an island somewhere Northeast of Australia and Southwest of Hawaii. In the event that I am never found, please forward word of my fate to my parents.

May be totally unrelated but still a cool find.

I read the whole thread and I also read several time the word "Kreis".

I'm German, so this word is a bit conspicuous for me.

Let me explain:

"Kreis" means translated "circle".

I don't know, if this has anything to say, but:

A circle is a 2 dimensional geometrical object, like a square (3D -> cube). A circle is nothing else than a polygon (a square with maaaany edges Wink )

I think two big questions are why is final showdown tenacious d the words inside box?

What does the riddle mean about ancestor and all?

I am betting it all goes back to things they liked. Maybe it was an assignment that they were given to list a bunch of things they liked and then were told to make a viral marketing campaign about it tying them all together somehow. Other than that I have no idea why Tenacious D etc would be included.

Well first do you guys have aim or irc where we can talk faster? My only idea on it is a final showdown is about to happen? Since video said this is worst incident since black mesa. The only important part of video I believe was he used box on portal and near end all birds fell dead. Which means some type of soundwave attack. Every pro there is an anti think about that. Well if you think about it is he saying for every action there is a equal and opposite reaction? I just wish there was more info I don't think we can guess it. As far as other videos go on profile how can it possible connect in with it? Seems very unlikely.
