Pretty sure the image on the left is a drill, the spiral drawing down the top of it (upside down) looks like a crude drill bit drawing. Not sure what the graph and radio-looking-thing are.


Tim - I'm thinking this could be the machine that creates the alternative energy. Isn't the graph the the tones from the Braegen14 file? And the little box looks like it could be connected to the other machine and set at the right frequency to get everything cranking.


It's the GRTM (Golden Ratio Tone Maker) until a more proper name can be found.

Table thingy
Scintillator on the table?

That device on the table looks striking similar to a scintillator I've used before. Scintillators can be used to detect Gamma Rays and their energies from a radioactive source, which can help identify the elements that compose it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_spectroscopy

If it is a scintillator, the graph is a gamma spectrum like you can see on the wiki page. It's not calibrated so I'm not sure if theres any good way to tell what the source is though. I'm guessing that's what the scientist in the clip is doing, checking the emissions from the cube trying to figure out what the hell it is. I can't explain why it would output those beeps and boops though. I counted 8 different tones, which don't seem to match up to any peaks in the graph.

I noticed that. Most likely the end of clip 68.

Still unsure as to how the password was found(?)

Password

i was lucky enough to get Portal 2 yesterday (great game) and looked through the trailer with noclip. There are many numbers posted around but there are only 2 sets that stuck out to me. The clock ,12:25 or 00:25 24 hour wise and a number on the cart that was very clear, 5946. I believe the password was 5946:25 but we may never know

If the password was 1988:08 it came from the expiration date on the EW Kodachrome box. I think zort70 suggested it last week. http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=832484&search_id=1870966923#832484

Curious

Curious about something, I don't have the time right now but has anyone checked to see if there are other unlockables using a similar url? As we know the original is...

http://asc8.clip69.super8-movie.com/

could there be others like this (I've only tried a couple)

http://asc8.clip01.super8-movie.com/
http://asc8.clip02.super8-movie.com/

Also, would there be an easier way to check all possible urls to see if they're up or not?

One last little thing, unless it's just the tin foil hat banging around against my earbuds (lol), if you listen really carefully you can hear whatever is in the train-car pacing around before the explosions and train door flies off Smile

You are right in saying that you can here it pacing round and if the sound coincides with the way the creature is walks that it is a quadra-ped and walks on all fours or at least is capable of doing so

I just finished both Portal 2 campaigns, so now I can work on this! The only thing I saw (well, heard) that no one mentioned yet is the radio I found. I couldn't identify the song it was playing, and I'm not sure if I can get a recording of it, or if it's even important, but just throwing it out there!

The song is a Fringe easter egg. It's Violet Sedan Chair's 'Slow Vibration'.

Here's a same-but-different video from Portal 2 where you can hear it more clearly

Has this been found?? I dont think so though

http://www.super8-movie.com/index6.html

It has a "Enter the flash Experience" i'm guessing this goes to the game located in portal 2. Not sure how to open it. I tried with Steam

EDIT: It might be a bit early, they may not have finished writing it yet? Can someone try on their computer, maybe it just doesn't work for me

Yeah I got the same steam error message, I have a couple games that run on steam, I'll get them installed on my laptop and see what happens.

One other thing, I watched the trailer again on that page and noticed something. Did anyone else see the bright light in the top right corner when the train crashes and one car comes flying towards the camera??? It's got the lens flare thing going on (of course) but looks to be quite a ways off in the distance. Doesn't appear to be the moon and kind of emits the same light shape that we see in the image with the light behind the water tower. Sorry if this has been mentioned before, in a rush out the door but wanted to bring it up.

Nope, doesn't work for me either. Thought it might work on Google Chrome (long shot) but no joy there either. I'd imagine this goes to the interative trailer though. Interesting how more and more content is starting out hidden in the ARG then ending up on the official site.
