This wasn't really a new trail. I mean, the URL that set all this off at ArcadeAid was called bonuslevel. So, consider it a bonus. We got a bunch more back story in the form of images/sounds/video. It all kinda fits as a denouement to this stage of the game. It's clearly not over, as Mako's audio thing should be coming shortly.

But good work sussing out all the trail stuff. Would have been nice for achievements for more Hello Flynn codes, but that hasn't been the MO. It's mostly just been used to give us neat files.


What if the audio we found is Mako's stuff? That is what I assumed...and I am still not seeing how this ties into the FL discussion post about Sam...although I guess it could just be the backstory we found...I don't know, i feel like there is something else to do, but what that something is...well I have no clue.


There could be, but I'm just saying, there also might not be. Mako has established that he works for Encom, and I believe the story so far is that he was responsible for Circuit Cycles. Thus, I would expect another game from him as opposed to just some info on Flynn's server. So I'm guessing whatever audio he's working on wasn't just posting samples.

 		Could one of you image manipulation gurus see whether any kind of overlay can be done between the solar sailer image and the EOLC file:

I was actually messing around with this earlier, but to no avail. Maybe I can try again.

There are some little oddities with the video (or more specifically, the audio of the video) that I felt I ought to post here.

#1. There's an underlying rhythm to the sound that doesn't seem like pure white noise to me. Isolating a certain range in a graphical equalizer gives a sound that is almost like a synthesized engine. It's a very bassy tone that I don't believe I've ever heard from video static before. Playing it back at different speeds also reveals that there is a certain lack of randomness to it. I can hear the pitch gradually changing throughout the entire track.

#2. For some odd reason, there is one section of the audio track in which the volume sharply drops (roughly 5.8 - 8.8 seconds in). When I first noticed it, I thought it just coincided with the camera cuts, but then when I loaded it into a timeline, I realized it didn't (though the end of it seems to, the beginning doesn't).

And a couple general IG things to note about the static. First is, why is it there at all? Was there no audio even in the original recording? Did somebody just neglect to transfer the audio to digital when this was uploaded? Was the static put there intentionally to cover up something in the original audio track?


There was AUDIO in that "home movie"?



Ya, there's a low hum of static through the whole thing


I'll have to go back and check that..... maybe my speakers were too low. You made it sound like there was actual talking or music or something, not just static.

 		The building does look much like a Solar Sailor - even more all the images become layered.

Damn. Maybe a cheese puff is just a cheese puff - maybe a photo of a flower is just a photo flower.

Have the DBs on FlynnLives lead to anything before?

 		great job everyone, I always appear to be one step behind.

This whole portion of the game seems very deja vu to me. like we did this earlier in the year.

arcadeaid v.1 -> space paranoids (receive pin) -> get barcodes -> helloflynn -> receive 15 files

coincidence. maybe.

I wouldn't take it that far to say that there's talking. Though at times it does sound like music to me, which makes me wonder if there could be a code buried underneath the random noise. (the number of crests in a wave, perhaps?)

Someone with a musical ear would be able to pick up on this far better than I would. It's just enough that I can tell that there seems to be something there.

 		The audio you hear is pretty normal with older video files that originally did not have sound. The high and low influxes you hear I would be coincide with the changes in footage. While it might be worth investigating, I think that it might be chasing nothing.

 		Okay, I got my poster yesterday, and I just got on today. Can someone summarize what I just missed?

 		in my opinion, the lines on the builings are something important. more than these sound related things. why they should use audio stuff. most people only know how to listen to it, not to analyse.

Aye, I guessed that too. And it may apply to everything I'm hearing, except for the volume drop I mentioned. It doesn't change until almost 2 seconds AFTER the moving Closeup of Sam on the bike begins.

Maybe, maybe not. It really didn't seem any crazier than what might need to be done in order to decypher the double-exposed photo or the sailor (if they're anything). Image overlays, filtering RGB channels and light levels seems just as hairy as analyzing sound.
