the S03AT01 video sounds like someone saying help me in French to me...and I did look at the blog and discounted it. I may be wrong but it seems very different, if only because the photoshopped pictures are so badly done compared with the way that everything has been put together throughout this ARG.

I was assuming it would be colour or colourful, but you're right it has been American spelling throughout hasn't it? Razz

Oh and I may have been wrong, it may not be aidez moi (help me) but rather follow me (technically "we are going") in Croatian which is idemo...my sister's other half is half Croatian and suggested it - I figure as we keep being told "follow me" like at the end of the videos he may be right.

We've already had 'Oscar' - it was the second one.

maybe it's just me but the voice at the beginning of the video sounds like it is reciting out letters and numbers in english...my first guess would be N3AAY but it's open to interpretation, really somebody needs to do some Marble-Hornets-style download and audio deciphering


oh...duh...it's S 3 A T 1...the name of the video

well...maybe it's not.. ok i confused myself.

sounds like he's saying Scene 3A Take One. then there's a snap sound like a clap board on a movie. Implying this is the third scene? makes sense

@fezzik and @chunky bud
nice work!

they DO seem to be a "filmy" crowd.
(some of the books (especially on Lima's(?) shelf) look film-studenty. i think some of the WIE's twitter friends of friends were at SXSW recently. plus the high video production quality. plus the h264 tag on youtube. plus it looks like california(?). these are probably all more meta-observations and less than really relevant to 'the game'. who knows? so far, so . . .

i'm suspicious of mindboulders.com. First, it's a little off for just a joke site. I mean, it's not really very funny, and there's no references back to the "real" world. If somebody did make it just to have an inside joke, it's so inside it's pitch black in there. Second, it seems like these WIE people sort-of have their act together (email cc aside), so you would think that if they were going to use "mind boulders" as a code, they would have checked it out first, noticed that site, and either used something else or worked it in somehow.

Third, although the pics on mindboulders.com are lower quality, they share a sort of paste-things-into-the-foreground dream-like artistic quality. Like, they're obviously wrong in a dream-state kind of way.

Fourth, there's now a weird post by "Peter" in one of the pages ("About") referencing WIE (which, of course, could be a gamejack)

Fifth - and this is kind of odd - they have a offhand reference in one of the pages (the "launch page") to their "VIDEO CONTENT ON YOUTUBE" but it's not a link and, as far as I can tell, I can't find any.

So - yeah. It may not be related, but it's certainly fishy.

distance

now find the distance between cities or any two places using Google maps. The calculated distance will be shown in miles and kilometers using mileage calculator

@fezzik:

The "Peter" post is mine.

Please tell me how

sending a comment in character about other game characters to a dubious site that I suppose might be related to the game, asking if they know charlie, oscar, or lima,

ought be considered a gamejack?

I thought the site was, as you say 'fishy', so I commented there to see if I'd get a response in game. I was trying to Play the game not Jack it.

@smithjones: huh?

New stuff

Just got these texted to me. I've no idea what to do with them but I'm sure you all will figure something out.

The texts behind the codes:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

"What was I doing here?"####I was acting crazy, nothing like myself. I was imagining things, reading into it.####This doesn't mean anything.####But the suggestion didn't stick and again I was staring at the thing. Wanting to believe it all. Want to know.

"What are you doing here!?" I shouted to myself, demanding.####"You were led."####"You led yourself here. A choice. A whim."####Yet the question wasn't answered, not the real question.####"This is just your imagination. You're just my imagination."

But the sliver was still sticking me, reminding me it's there. Reminding me I'd missed it.####"It didn't happen."####I said the words, but without conviction. Without certainty.####Again I did it. But this time it was different.####This time I let go.

She wasn't sure, I could tell. She was thinking it over. She was considering.####I gave her a hint, but it didn't help much, didn't seem to at least. It was hard to tell. Hard to see through her eyes.####Which I knew.####Which was the answer.

She neared again. Perhaps the hint had stuck her, like a sliver, revealing itself suddenly and sharply.####She pushed gently against my side.####And I knew that she knew.

These hidden texts are really quasi-poetic. And a little boring. If we find out what they are about they might be interesting, but right now?

@fezzik @chunky bud, great thanks! And I do think something about "Color" might be right - why couldn't we get another video of Oscar?

sorry, didn't mean to offend; gamejack was probably the wrong word to use. i just meant it was something put there after-the-fact; i.e. it didn't really mean anything w.r.t. whether mindboulders.com was "part of the game"

Last few lines kind of remind me of Lima's video... Like if the narrator was the elephant on the wall...
