bout to head home from work and won't be on again tonight. but I just noticed this too and I wanted to share http://forum.interdimensionalgames.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=30&page=1

there's alot more on that thread now then when you posted about it Cherrytree. None of Vidal's advice unfortunately is any different then what we already know. The rest is cool though, he's keeping track of all the shit that we've found in the game. I guess it's all the findings you guys have been emailing him?

Yep. It's everything that's been given to him by all of us through email.

Ok, I actually did E-mail Vidal asking about whether the Device game would be available for "playback" after we're done officially using it. Essentially, the answer is yes. However, something he said kind of stood out to me, and I kind of thought I should share it:

@Duke: It might just be a fancy way of saying "keep playing" I'm not sure myself.

I've edited the wiki with all the new memories i've collected. I suggest you head over there, and check them out. Quite a few of them hold interesting information. I'm adding them by every time I come across them.

(Also i'm emailing them to Vidal. He's going to get quite the big suprise when he get's on his email. I've already sent 3 emails, and more to come.)
He said he didn't mind.

I've also found out some great tricks for 2 of the levels. (What do you expect when i've played these levels 10+!)

Level 8: What i've done (It's not a sure fire way.) Place one piece on the red path then quickly put one far away from your other pieces. I've seen him go after the far away one then my line. (Like I said he will sometimes attack your line, but it makes things easier)

Level 10: You don't have enough time? Then provoke Henry into attacking you. This will 1. Prolong the match for another of those green boxes. and 2. Depending on how much you have there you may get a load of enemy's thus refilling your time (Each enemy gives you 2 seconds. I think it's a little more if you get 2 or more). What I mean is when you start playing the level Henry will automatically place a piece (Or he's always done it for me) go attack it. This will provoke Henry into attacking your piece. It then goes back and forth. Do this when you're low at 50 seconds on your timer.

That's all

Since Vidal has opened a thread for anything related to Greenberg's Device in the IDGI forums, I posted my memories there.
I still might make an account for the wiki and edit them into your list too if I find the time.

I've also almost finished the current game 3 times (2 complete runs and 1 still missing brain 10)

During my last playthrough, I noticed the same weird behaviour with the 21 screen as duke9509 had.
As you know brain 9 kicks you out as soon as you collect 1 memory, at first I intentionally got myself kicked out a few times to collect those memories and afterwards I set out to do that level.
Since I hit the 21 screen on the last 2 playthroughs at exactly that point, i was expecting it to occur this time too, but as I rapidly progressed in the level (killed many reds to gain time and got a few memories), I never hit 21 seconds and the screen never appeared (I won the level in a regular fashion by completing the pathway)
Then, after reaching brain 10 and playing for a while, when the timer hit 21 the screen appeared and i automatically won the level.
My best guess is that this is a one time joker that you get after completing level 8 and if you manage to keep it from activating at level 9 you will have an easy win at 10.

Also, since some of you were wondering how you could backup your progress.
If anyone is interested in how to do this, shoot me a PM Smile

@Minz: It was only me really since I keep replaying through the levels, but I already know how to.

Also you don't have to worry about editing the list with your memories. I already had grabbed those earlier, and they're already on the list.

Vidal's edited the list with the memory's I emailed him, and Minz's.

Also one of the memories

Okay just blasted my way through the 2 new levels we have.

First off there is a new message at the start of the device. I'm attaching it.

Level 11: Another fast paced level. At first I thought there would be a stalemate again. (Like some of the other fast paced levels), but it's either me or I slowly gained ground on the virus. Time shouldn't run out for you in this level. Just because he's placing so fast that you should gain time.

A new window popped up at the start of level 12 addressed to Vidal. It mentioned a "Signal Strength" (I've noticed this on the white message that appears in the corner of the strength. Something about variable strength signal) I've already emailed him with it, and asked if he knows what it means.

Level 12: Same fast paced action. This one was only different in the time department. I couldn't really gain time (I bet you can), but I quickly finished it. Again it seemed like I just slowly gained ground and overwhelmed it.

Finally the writing at the end of the levels.
Well isn't that just great news. Which one should we trade for "The lesser evil" or the "greater evil" I've asked Vidal's on his thoughts if we should tell Walter. I would suggest to everyone not to say anything for the moment. I think it would rather discourage him in his rather recent state of mind.

Edit: The audio is messed up pretty badly. Here's what I could make out
I simply acquire my surrondings. *Laughter* I know this now. Made by humans, (One?) Better than humans. Perhaps there is a greater force beyond the world of man. Something out there that's ----- so ------ surpassing even you. (Careful humans?) my masters *Sounds cut off* Then the audio ends.

OK I'm done too now!

11 and 12 were actually not very hard at all! As you guys both pretty much said. They are both super fast paced but like cherrytree said it's just a matter of overwhelming the red. I used the "turn all red into green" specific for both levels to kick ass. In level 12 once I got the special and had a bunch of time I just let the red place for a while. Once there was a shitload of red on the board I hit the bottom special and won. Got lucky and got a bunch of the memory boxes though.

I'll post the thoughts I got to the forum post of vidals.

New Greenberg post too explains the text message a little I think. Henry is turning into a different demon altogether!

edit: guess i'll put the thoughts I got here too. You're going so fast Cherrytree the other thoughts I got you've beaten me to the punch =(

As i've been playing through 11 and 12 again I'm noticing something a bit odd.

When the red square comes around to place a piece near mine it's like it can't. The thing goes for it then bounces back, goes for it, bounces back. I don't know if this is a glitch or intentional. But I thought it was an interesting thing to note. It's like it's being actively blocked from placing pieces.
