It doesn't really fit in story that Sam would have access to their machines to put up a countdown. Because if Encom did it, then why wouldn't *they* release it, and if he did it, wouldn't Encom shut it down as soon as they caught wind of it?

My interpretation is that the countdown site is an official Encom site, and that Sam found out about it somehow -- he's still got contacts there, such as Alan Bradley -- and left the clue in the book for Flynn Lives folks. Zack must be the one who hacked the Encom site to link it to Flynn Lives for the badges.

Encom has shown that they have an intranet, so if it was for Encom eyes only, it would be login-necessary, and if not, why make a public clock and then hide it?

Not that I'm complaining, I'm just curious if it occurred to anyone else.

Was I the only idiot that had a hard time opening the locker? I was never good at using those locks and apparently even worse with a virtual version!


Nope. I too had problems.

 		First off, thanks for all the guidance everyone, been a great help. Here's some uploads of the videos of Sam Flynn from his camcorder in his locker and the entrance video too (I converted them from FLV->MPG):

Same here. Embarassed

Anyway, I do hope I will see even just a glimpse of those companies in the upcoming movie or something.. I figured that would just be cool, y'know.. Very Happy

(Not that it would make much sense from the point of view of the story for Dumont Shipping, a subsidiary of Encom, to be hiding messages, but who knows?)


I was just thinking that last night. Seriously...Sam disappears, and in an old book of his in a locker, the letters are underlined leading to...an Encom reveal site? Does he know when they make that stuff live? Is he working with them, or does this mean he's able to hack into their system?

It doesn't really fit in story that Sam would have access to their machines to put up a countdown. Because if Encom did it, then why wouldn't *they* release it, and if he did it, wouldn't Encom shut it down as soon as they caught wind of it?

If we want to nitpick... instead of having you log on with your Encom employee ID for the page, once you blast 99 recognizers it asks for your Flynn Lives ID... waitwhat?

(the Encom ID is still linked to Flynn Lives, of course, so that would have still been able to grant the achievements)

In the trailer i believe it shows Sam is living in a renovated Dumont shipping container (or it might have been in a review) so we know they are already in it Very Happy

 		Actually I'm pretty sure it's a repurposed garage and not a shipping container. The walls looked concrete with a roll-up bay door that had his insignia on it. No shipping containers have that much room either, and I doubt he'd be living in a storage locker. He's got the money to at least have a crappy apartment.

 		Don't know. I was one of those that couldn't make the thing unlock even after being given the combination.

I do feel somewhat proud at poking through to the SPO countdown without consulting anybody (even though I was far from first.)

I managed to unlock the lock, I didn't see anything. It didn't ask for a login, so I'm assuming not.
