Well, the messages in the zip file all seem to have to do with searching for life on other planets, and Vidal was right, they are from far in the future, >100 yrs some of them. One of them even mentioned the official declaration of "world peace." Perhaps, since they were coming up while the "security check" was going on, they are from other dates in the other dimension. Remember, the satellite isn't totally aligned yet. Greenburg was opening a connection through a misaligned satellite. We already know the connection goes through time, so why wouldn't a misaligned connection be pointing at the wrong time? Just a theory though.

As for the face, I have NO idea. Although, Vidal's the only one I could see it making sense being. The one thing that really confuses me about it is that, if you look at the background, the picture was taken in somebody's house, likely at night. Why would he take a picture of himself at his house? It also looks almost like a teenager (Alvarez? but why would it be him?) The intro is supposedly "corrupted", could it be someone tied to the corruption? Someone from the other side? Don't know who it would be though. Perhaps, since it's part of the main website, and not tied to the satellite, we should alert V? Maybe whoever eventually gets around to sending in those messages should ask about it (and send in the pic) in the email.

I got 1 more decrypted signal from ursa major, there is a second one in the same formation but the interface completely crashes when I click that one. Might be a bug xD
(screenshot with the formations list is also attached)

I also got to watch the moon pass in front of the camera and took a screenshot just for fun ^^

can someone help me? I don't know what to do...... I just saw that there was a new update on idgi and so I managed to get past the opening screen (I clicked on the red box) and then after some weirdness, I am now looking at this game where I am trying to place green chess things in boxes while these red pac-man things are trying to block me, and I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing. I keep failing it. I'm so lost, after being away from this game for so long....

help Smile

edit: I managed to figure out that I want to put the green pieces on the red path. so I did that and got a bunch of weird stuff on my screen, no idea what that meant. but now I have the game again but it is only giving me 40 seconds to do the same thing which seems impossible. how do i do this??

see previous posts:

each red enemy destroyed gives one second, each green square gives 25, or something like that. I agree though, the second and third levels can be very difficult. Part of it really is luck: your chances are much greater if a ton of enemies and green squares appear within reach of the path.

Also, over time, you gain three "items:" the first one (from the top) keeps new enemies from appearing for a while, the second one destroys them all, and the third turns them all into your pieces. In my opinion, the first is the only really useful one.

thanks for the advice... I actually got to level 3 or whatever

AND THIS IS NOW ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE!@!!!?!:@!:!!!?!:!!~~!

how in the world is anyone expected to do this?

edit: more specific about my frustration- the red pac man dudes keep knocking out my men, and they seem to be coming faster and faster than I am allowed to do anything about. I almost never get the thing that stops them from coming, and have never seen the other two things. I also never get the additional messages. also, when they knock my men out, they start to fly around and say 'help me.' is there any advantage to grabbing them and putting them back? or should I ignore them? I just don't see any way to have enough time to finish this -- or even if I had enough time, to complete all the red paths without them knocking me all to hell. ARGs should not be a twitch-fest!

I actually thought that the last level was the easiest, since the time between two placements is so short.
Just destroy as many viruses as possible (dont worry to mus about the placement of your guy's just yet), then when you have the first powerup use it and fill up all the spaces you need to win. Time shouldnt really matter in this one as there are always plenty of viruses to blow up.

What i've been wondering though, is what the purpose of the numbers in red at the bottom of the end-screen is supposed to mean. (If it's supposed to mean anything at all)
I've tried a speedrun through the game and got a small number ~100.
I've also tried collecting a lot of green notes which made the runs longer and got bigger "scores"...

Any news from Vidal at all?
Maybe if talking to him doesn't get us anywhere, we need to talk to Greenberg afterall?

Well, after what I think was a week of the folks behind the curtain giving us time to all get back on-board, WGreenberg has responded!

A lot of what he said was him responding to Seadevil, Cherrytree and my posts, but the part that's directed at everybody I have quoted below:

Well, and I was just replaying through again. I did gain some new memories so i'll add those to the list, and edit it.

he first one was pretty harsh, but after that it seemed to just flow smoothly like the virus gave up. I'll be adding the new memories in shortly to the list.
Please post any you have to the thread and i'll add them.

Also through the second one there was a "distortion" which may or may not be Henry. (Third pathway was long, but not hard at the start.)

I think they took your guys suggestion on difficulty.

If someone could grab the distortion window screencap that would be great.

If you could post your memories Duke that would be fantastic.

New list:

Umm, where is the Flash cookie stored? I don't know much about them.
(I'm not the greatest at the game, so I haven't been paying much attention to the memories as they appear, therefore I'd need to look at the file.)

And I'm currently booted into Windows 7, since that would obviously affect the file location.

If you could tell me where to look, I'd be happy to post the file's contents.

When you've finished the game's if you hover over the symbol's then the memories you've collected will flash up at the top of the screen. Do that for the new one's, and the old one's if you wish.

And a second round through brings even more goodies to the list:

Ok, I don't know which symbols are the new ones (that, I will admit I should have been paying attention to), so I'll transcribe all of them. I also don't know which symbol is which brain, so my numbers will be in order from left to right.

The red numbers apply to what we think is a "score" the more green squares you collect, and the more red viruses you destroy raises that red score. (Or I think that's the general assumption.)
I'll edit in the new memories.
(Go to the thread in the forums, and there should be a zip file for the alphabet. All the brains have been numbered in the order of the alphabet that the symbol corresponds to.)

Okay now updated list:
