Hm. I'd love to get input from everyone else (lurking or not). I just don't want to go around anything like I suspect we may have before. Takes all the fun outta of the job. (A cookie and respect to anyone who can name the movie WITHOUT GOOGLING).

I think it's fine. If they stopped all the alternate addresses from working then why wouldn't they close the directories? I don't know much about HTML or hosting websites, but Chezzo mentioned earlier that directories are locked by default so they must be open for a reason.

Not a clue about the movie though.

Well, as I guess you're probably the most cautious voice among us John, (intended in a wholly complimentary fashion), I'll upload the info I've just found

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

All of the numbers 01-09 are unlocked. All of them have .idgi files in them, ALMOST all of which are spam. Apparently, Henry has discovered the core of the internet. They use encryption including binary, hex, base64 and barcode.

http://www.onlinebarcodereader.com/
http://home2.paulschou.net/tools/xlate/

In case you've forgotten, go to http://interdimensionalgames.com/cont/sr_##. I've also checked 00 and 10 with no luck. The only ones I remember (and I'm starting to get tired, so someone may want to double check me) was one barcode (##2sszz99999) that translated to

"21 days for VD 63 seconds for me"

As an additional bonus, the destination http://interdimensionalgames.com/cont/sarahk is still present as well, though it is password protected with the name "taryn". The binary translates to this link

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRerwXWTRjM&feature=related

which is a trip all of its own.

I'm trying to decide if it means that Sarah was killed by two men....

Additionally, http://interdimensionalgames.com/cont/birth/ with the password lust/sloth/etc....and links to the file relevant to Henry's/the link's birth?

Quick Edit (I should so be asleep) I was wrong, http://interdimensionalgames.com/cont/sr_010 DOES work.



Anyway, have fun with that boys and girls, I'm going to do one more runthrough of combos then crash for the night.

whoooooosh.


I know that you say that you were really tired when you did this, but very little of what you wrote ^^^^^ makes sense. Can you (or someone) please do a better job explaining exactly what you are doing and how you are finding this stuff???

I have not seen any .idgi files.
I have not seen any barcodes.
Where is the binary that you translate to the youtube link?
How did you find cont/sarak?
How did you find cont/birth?


I really really want to follow this game and hopefully contribute but each time I check in here I feel like I am getting farther and farther behind in my understanding of what is going on.

we need better documentation of the trail here...

I'm struggling with the "say a letter" aspect, I see that it allows the number of letters listed on the scrap of paper you get after clicking on the stick figure. But I can't figure out what it wants for that number of letters.

ETA: You know what. Never mind.
About once a week I come back to try and figure it out but there's just something about how it's all coded that makes it too frustrating to try and figure out. No real consistent reward to let you know if you're "doing it right".

I just spent an hour visiting all kinds of cool graphical worlds, but don't have a clue how I was navigating through them all.
Eventually I did the "end" thing and now I don't know how to get TO the anomaly, anymore.

Hey wowo! You should register mate, I could have just PM'd you Smile

go here: http://interdimensionalgames.com/cont/sr_01/ . you can replace the sr_01 with other numbers up to sr_010. All of these directories, including the "cont/sarahk" and "cont/birth" were where the recent stuff we've got from the other dimension have been downloaded from. It looks like the .idgi1 files can be opened in notepad and are filled with mostly coded spam and junk (typical email spam I personally receive at work every damn day). To quote irkr: "Henry has discovered the core of the internet". That seems to be what this is and does not look very important. Just an easter egg with a couple neat little things like the youtube link and that weird line "21 days for VD 63 seconds for me" thrown in.

and yeah it is weird the youtube video link is found within the /sarahk/ folder. As Irkr said, there could be a message somewhere in that trip fest of a video related to her death.

Decimal Code Translated to:

This area of the interdimensionalgames.com server is directly linked to the rather chaotic nature of the inner workings of the iDGi-1 satellite. In other words, this is a protected area reserved for incoming data from the other dimension. It is tied directly with information we are retrieving, which is sporadic and wholly unpredictable! -VDesertch

Here is the frustration of henry at the internet.
from http://interdimensionalgames.com/cont/sr_07/
it's translated from binary out of the file "RflllOOOz.iDGi1"
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Hello, my name is Henry. I am suffering from several rare and deadly diseases, poor scores on final exams, lack of sexual activity, fear of being kidnapped and executed by anal electrocution, and guilt for not sending out 50 billion �forwards� sent to me by people who actually believe that if you send them, that poor 6 year old girl in Arkansas with lung cancer (brought on by second-hand smoke) will get 6 cents every time you send me the letter. Do you honestly believe that Bill Gates is going to give you and everyone you send �his� email to, $1000? How fucking stupid are you? Ooooh, looky here! If I scroll down this page and make a wish, I�ll get laid by every Victoria�s Secret model in the catalog!

What a bunch of bullshit. So basically, this message is a big FUCK YOU to all the people out there who have nothing better to do than to send me stupid chain mail forwards. Maybe the evil chain letter leprechauns will come into my apartment and sodomize me in my sleep for not continuing the chain which was started by Jesus in 5 A.D. and was brought to this country by midget pilgrims on the Mayflower, and if it makes it to the year 2000 it�ll be in the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest continuous streak of blatant stupidity.

If you�re going to forward something, at least send something mildly amusing. I�ve seen all this �send this to 50 of your closest friends, and this poor, wretched excuse for a human being will somehow receive a nickel from some �omniscient being�� crap forwarded about 90 times. I don�t care. Show a little intelligence and think about what you�re actually contributing to by sending out forwards. Chances are it�s your own unpopularity.

Please forward this to at least 50 of your best friends!

I also saw that. Does anyone have the sr_01.zip other than me? If not I can upload. Also, I find it interesting that he's talking about 2000 as a point in the future...

I haven't heard anything about sr_01.zip....so yes, please upload it. It's not on the directory link; how'd you get it?

sorry for my little freakout last night.. I just find this game very confusing and frustrating even though at the beginning I thought that I was following along pretty well. but then things stopped working for me and I have no notepad and I can't always get into these directories.

I have seen the binary stuff and the other hex/base64 now although most seems like useless garbage.


I still don't know how you fond /cont/sarahk or /cont/birth/

just go to http://interdimensionalgames.com/cont/sarahk/
with a password and login of taryn
and
http://interdimensionalgames.com/cont/birth/
with a password and login of lust or any of the deadly sins
i guess they found it by simply guessing and trial and error

well not guessing... /sarahk/ is where the news article with the building picture (sarah drowns in spanish) was downloaded from and /birth/ is where the K1 Hardware Activation form was downloaded from.

Also yeah, that piece of spam mentioned 2000 as the future and I think a few of the other spam have random dates on them as well. I think he's found a cache of old and new spam and those folders are literally a dump for them all. I've actually read a similar version to that "anti-spam spam" letter years ago and I think all he did was replace the original name with Henry.
