 		[trailhead] Insteadote
(did I format the title right :S)
So I was browsing youtube and found these videos

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJN-p6XrTkQ

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ukx-r5hqgk&feature=channel

and

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zE6bkJQRkvc&feature=channel

after IMing the username (Insteadote) all (s)he replied with was
www.agentlowe.blogspot.com

there is also some hex in the profile which I've translated to
Jeff andrew alice tiffany jude




couldn't kill-live-they won't

anyone know what this could be?

(warning: strong language in the videos. also; as this is my first post please notify me as to whether or not I am doing anything wrong posting this here >_<)



Edit: Moved from CFwP. -SpaceBass

 		Also, the "Beginning"-video has the following labels:
4a 65 20 4e 75 4f 77

which is:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Je NuOw


and the "Finale"-video has
63 6f 6d 69 6e 67 20 73

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
coming s



Since the "beginning"-message doesn't make much sense, it could be that we need to decypher that further.

edit:
Unfortunately, I don't have speakers on this PC so I can't hear what's being said in the videos. If someone could post a transcript, that'd be great.

According to the Hex that Dizzi decoded, there are five people involved: "Jeff andrew alice tiffany jude".

The second video is called "Andrew", and in the first video the guy talking to the camera says "Look at me, I'm acting like fucking... like Jude talking to a camera" - which would make him Jude.

According to Agent Lowe's blog, "In the mean time, we're still looking for three of the kids. I just hope they don't turn out like the two we found. well... almost two..."

yes, we want new trailhead (and potential trailhead) threads to be started in the News & Rumors section, not the CF section. I'm sure a mod will move it soon.



"CF with Potential" is not for potential (unconfirmed) games, but active games with existing threads and the need to expand to multiple threads, hence the potential to grow into their own subforum.

 		oops. sorry. guess that this is in the wrong section

Bernard: since you are currently speakerless, in the Andrew video he asks someone 'is it on?' at the start. so there is probably one (2?) more people there as well as talks about something seeming to appear wherever and whenever it wants..

Je NuOw seems like: another language or an anagram, (or jibberish).

coming So also seems like an anagram or an incomplete message... I don;t know, I could be waaaay off

(Could a mod please move this?)

 		In the source code for the blog, there is some hex which translates to

Quote:
couldn't- And- stop him -


and binary which translates to more hex, which translates to

Quote:
you're searching too deep. stop now

 		^Proof that over thinking makes things complicated ^

so hopefully we'll get some images in the (near?) future!

hmmm

couldn't- And- stop him -

and

couldn't kill-live-they won't

think they might go together somehow? I mean.. they are both incomplete, borken up, and linked with the same thing...

EDIT: fixed some grammar

 		well, seeing as how the videos were uploaded a week from eachother, maybe two of them were coded release dates for the next ep? (I'm just giving a tottally random guess Razz)
