Unfortunately I'm in transit atm so can't watch this (no headphones and it was bloody loud lol)

I'll take a look when I get to my location been aching to get into another ARG from the beginning!

freaky. you're right it looks like something here, i'll watch with interest for now

[demonpunk]

there is a one of those square barcodes in it at exactly 3 seconds when the eye blinks. more and more arg's and virals are using these but of course i dont have the means to scan them. no droid or iphone here for this poor guy.
also the code on the side catches my eye but i cant figure out a pattern.

demonpunk, you have a keen eye. The QR code leads here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJhdQnEb_h8

Hi bigtime The Mirror and THX for the trailhead.

[demonpunk]

thanx amandel. so one thing stands out to me that probably means nothing but..... the names 10empedocles and anximander10.
both have 10 letters and obviously the number 10 in them. i'm not that great with code and i usually see things in them that i think mean something but don't so i might just be grasping but you never know.

Ahh, should have known you'd beat me to it.
Took me forever to hit with the pause button.
Do we need the audio people?

:edit: this is what I'm getting. Might be missing first 2....

Well, I'm still pretty rusty but I'll take a look and see what I can dig up.

In the meantime here is the Wiki for Empedocles and Anaximander if anyone is interested.

looking at the youtube referrals, it was first picked up at visualnews.com, and they're a step ahead of us...

Seems the numbers are Pi (yum, pie).

The article also talk a little about Empedocles and Anaximander.

[demonpunk]

wow didn't realize there were numbers being said cuz i had the volume off but thats the price you pay when you have to hide your computer play at work and i've been playing with the code for a hot minute but nothing seems to pop.

Sounds like backward audio playing in the background of the 10empedocles video. Starts shortly after the cam moves past the monitor.

Running the list of base64 like codes through here:

seems to give a dowmloadable image that i can't open

Or I'm just screwing up....
