 		[TRAILHEAD] The Attic Tapes
Over at Something Awful in the Marble Hornets thread, we were discussing games that have started recently to get into, and someone posted this game. Figured we could post it here too and get you guys in on it. I'll post all the in-game sites we've found so far.

 		Well, this actually seems pretty interesting. Can't wait to see what the other tapes have on them.

 		New here and new to this, so please forgive any stupid mistakes on my part. Wink

Video #2 is up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNIb300QbZE

Two things stand out; two sets of flashing numbers and a sequence that focuses on electric switches, labeled, in order, X1, X3, X2 if I saw it correctly.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Flashing numbers in the video are a simple number substitution, and spell out "Find Me" and "Welcome".

EDIT: Never mind, nils beat me to it Very Happy

 		Thanks!

Another thing I noticed on a second viewing:

At 7 seconds the camera seems to focus on a door that that's labeled "34 A" or "84 A" (the first number is obscured). May not be relevant, who knows.

The switch sequence is X1, X3, X0, X2, whatever it may mean.

(I assume such observations, as long as they are not solved, should not be spoilered?)

 		@nils Yeah, it's fine to leave those unspoilered. The door looks like 84A to me, but it's way too obscured to tell.

BTW, I noticed his email address is on his "about me" page, has anyone emailed him yet?

I considered it, but could see no valid in game reason to do so. There were three tapes in the box, so I figure there will at least be that third update soonish anyway.

 		The electrical switches are a 3 Phase Transformer; this may be helpful in figuring out what they mean, or of course they could be arbitrary code for something...

 		The pic revsleestaxx found at 1:34 isn't the only roses pic in the 1st vid. I missed this the first time, but at 1:01 is a better view of the roses; 1:34 is a zoom of this.

I don't think that they are roses. They look more like "Hens and Chicks".

Okay, I am not sure. I am a nerd, I don't know my botany. Some bouquet at any rate. Smile
