This is no painting. There are patterns and brush strokes that repeat themselves EXACTLY throughout the entire thing. It was created in PS, but if there is anything hidden in it, I dont see it. Im colorblind though, so I it may just be that I am unable to see it.


Well, yeah. I was just making a point that the weird pattern has a basis in how paint and ink behave, whether it was accidental or on purpose. Razz

Just a thought

Can someone try using a convex mirror (round eye mirror) and look at it with that. Also maybe rolling up the photo with the painting on the inside and using a convex mirror inside the tube and looking down inside it and move the mirror through the tube. Maybe something can be seen? Shocked

For the image on the conduit page. Has anyone else with a laptop tried inverting the colors of the image then looking at it with their screen tilted?

I've tried it and I can vaguely make out letters on the sides of, what I'm assuming is the icefly, on opposite sides of the legs and also kinda above the fly itself.

Am I crazy?



That was the first thing I thought of when i saw the picture, streched lettering to look at on eye level angle,

Although I printed it once not inverted .. and tried looking for letters

It might be worth a shot

Like this for people who are wondering




I think they mean something more like this:

cause if you have a laptop and you tilt your screen back,
you can see Pikachu.

Really off topic but...

I have, and it makes more sense to me uninverted (old photo, yellowed tape, blue paint). Even tried staring at it for a long time, then clicking open a blank, white page (afterimage/aftermath, it made sense at the time). I have just noticed something weird though.



I don't think this can be made by painting. All the other oddities can be explained away by brushstrokes or scratching (intentional and otherwise), but the way this curves, it's either an oversight in an editing program, or there's another image left in the paint behind the icefly.


It's really funny that you should notice that with your naked eye. See, if you take the part that you have circled and you lay it over a part to the right of the icefly, they match up perfectly (as seen earlier in the forum I believe I posted a pic of it) but the only 2 things that dont match on that part are that little splotch that you circled and the icefly itself. You should take a look at it, I inverted and overlayed them so they would cancel out anything that was the same (it looks grey if its exactly the same).


This "splotch" is exactly the same as the one on the right side. I think it's just overlapped. See images below:
left right

User Jaz-x in another thread pointed out that the timer ending is coinciding with the Perseid meteor shower. Given the crater in Taymyr (sp? lol), and our constellation keys, seems like there's a VERY high chance the iceflies fell from space. (The video icefly was dug up in Antarctica, where there are quite a lot of meteorites.)

Personally, I think this drop will NOT be iceflies - but instead, FIREflies (as I think Aescepalus suggested the existence of).

It also makes sense to me that we have two people we see as children and adults (Bobbi and Maxine, one supposes), one with red hair and one with dark...

I'm thinking they're still Iceflies. The countdown says Icefly anyway.

I can't see the countdown, so I wasn't sure what the wording was.

Man, I would absolutely die if this ended up having anything to do with a game I've been following for years. Literally, years. And closely too. The Secret World. Here's a file for a location in game.

http://www.thesecretworld.com/world/locations/academy

Sound at all familiar? I know, common storyline. But still, I can dream. Also for anyone curious, the release date was -just- announced. April 2012 (THough Beta starts in. WOO!). So it could feasibly be for TSW. Right? RIGHT!? You can't tell me otherwise. :3

So in the Facility 2 update we saw mention of the following from TraelekInstitute.com:

The Painting from Conduit in Prof. Traelek's office.
Hiltrecht Academy Pamphlet (Misguided) In reference to the Maxine or perhaps even the mother?
The Ring from Decoy being used as... well... a Decoy.
The events that led to the article in Aftermath... unlikely as they are.
More about the connection between Bobbi and Maxine referenced in Longing.


Am I missing anything so far? So, what do Decoy and Misguided have in common?

Why do they keep asking us what things have in common?

When we all scrambled around looking for what this could be "besides just gum..yum..yum." I found Airwaves chewing gum sold out in Europe, the interesting part is that the gum was featured several times in Splinter Cell chaos theory.

So you never know where the comics .....split.....heh ;house burning down...Military Academy...2012 and the end of???

All I know is CHEW YOUR GUM CHEW YOUR GUM CHEW YOUR ...wait thats not right.. Shocked

As awesome as that would be, I think having your gum associated with Deep Ones does as much good for you as associating it with flies.

(Is that the Miskatonic logo on the side of the building?)

Checking Out My Profile on the survivalcode.com site...and noticed on page 30 of facility 02, that there are some letters/numbers and a word on the computer screen in the drawing.

Looks like /888 or /BBB

So I typed in http://traelekinstitute.com/reminisce/

Below the drawing it states...

One of the best gifts I've ever received... and from a very gifted student, at that.
