or someone who just wants to be one of those famous viral video people.... look at the keyword spam list she's got going!
EDIT TO ADD - although it is very well done. prob an ad camp of some sort if it is a game. i need a new game, and the video is neat, but i am so turned off by the spam list.

hmmm very interesting. lets hope this turns out to be something - like the post above...geist ended and i need something new.


the list of keywords though is a turn off. i wonder if it will be an ad or if they are just using popular things to try and get the most people to view and start it....that'd be nice....


it "61" in the middle of those numbers kinda looks like an "81" to me...but then the 82 would have to be 22....i think? i dunno.

This one looks good. I'm in, and I'll be subscribing to her videos now. Also, I think her advice about keeping our phones active was a clue, but I could be wrong. Either we'll need to call someone, or someone will get a call, that's what it seems like to me.

EDIT: I also sent her a message via Youtube saying, "My phone is active, if you need it." We shall see what happens.

Sometimes, I *really* hate having no speakers on my computer here at work. It's hell with ARGs. Sad
I'll download the video and check it out tonight.

I got a screengrab of the image that shows up for The S.T.A.C. It looks like it says Subterranean Tactical _____ Core. I can't tell what the word in the place of the blank says, but it has to start with an A. I'm including the pic, for those that want to give it a look. Maybe you guys can make out what it says better than I can.

Given that it was registered in 1997, I don't think it's relevant, but I could be wrong. I'm working on the numbers now, trying different angles to see if they turn up as anything.

EDIT: Good job Soleta! I'm going to see if a google search for that turns up anything.

Son of EDIT: As far as the numbers go, I THINK this is what we're looking at: 70b9 23841 61 223b2

The b's could be 6's, but that would mean that the 6 in 61 isn't a 6, due to the obvious difference in structure.

Is it possible that it's "Corps" and not "core"? I think that "Corps" would make more sense in the context of a fighting unit or something.

The Youtube video went a little staticky at points; the end of that word was one of them, but I'm sure it was "COR_", with only one letter that I couldn't quite make out. It looks so like an E, though, that I'm willing to bet on it.
