 		I'm having a hard time following this game, I mean, knowing what we are expected to do. Like, when something is solved, is it really the solution or is that supposed to lead to something else. There is no clear end to the puzzle trail.

Anyway, my guess is that we are looking for a twitter account based on these phrases he has given us, mainly because of the "follow me" picture. I could be totally off base though.

 		I feel the same way, Jabroni. It feels like we should be solving something since MyDadsTapes isn't uploading the videos, checking the floppies, or checking the camera card - but there doesn't seem to be anything to solve.

Perhaps we aren't engaging MyDadsTapes enough? It seems that whenever someone tweets him he responds with more information. Examples being forwarding the emails and checking the book for more information.

This is my first ARG so I really don't know what I'm doing anyhow, but I just feel lost.

I've been having luck with responses from DNC but they were based on joking around with him.

Edit: He's uploading the latest video now, according to his twitter.

 		There are a few things bothering me after watching this video.

1) The damn bowser picture,



This is obviously very important or it would not be in every freaking video. There was a little speculation on this early on in this thread, but it has started popping up again recently, this needs to be revisited by us. Does anyone know of anyway or anybody that can clean up video so we can see it? I'm not sure if it is possible or not, but I have stared at this image forever and can't make it out Sad

2) We are introduced to a couple new masks in this tape. Great lol. At the 2:18 mark, we see the mask we all recognize (which looks strikingly similar to the mask the zodiac killer wore from eyewitness testimonies and sketches) standing up against a wall doing nothing as usual. Nothing new. BUT this is what confuses me. At the 2:27-3:03 we see mr. zodiac mask banging on a door, trying to open it. Then when he does, he is struggling to get it open before he finally gets in the door.
I don't think that guy in the "zodiac" mask is a killer at all, he is a victim. Thats why he is always just standing there in all the videos. When I saw the girl crawling trying to escape in the video, that just reinforced it in my mind. They are both victims. We saw the real killer in this tape for the first time, the guy with the uber creepy mask and the machete. He was actually doing things. No one else we have seen so far has really done anything (besides the cameraman {who i believe is DAD in my opinion}) so therefore I think everyone else is a victim. I dunno why the killer would mask the man and not the woman though...but this is all speculation, what do you guys think??

3) Can anyone spot anything in these videos that would give us a time frame in which all this happened? We need to figure out where these tapes were filmed and who the girl is. I think some of the items in the lockbox may be able to tell us somehow :/

That's everything I thought of while watching this. Wish we had more to go on.

At around the 4:00 mark, blonde girl is seen wearing the bubblegum mask. Seconds later, she is mask-less and crawling, but there's something weird (weirder?) about the way she is moving. She is feeling the floor with her hands as if she is blind, she has to touch the boots to recognize what they are... But she didn't seem blind in other appearances.

More so, she is not moving her legs AT ALL. It could be because of the wound on one of them, but seeing as she is in a wheelchair (I think that's what it is) at the end of the video it could be something else. But if she is the same girl we saw in the first videos, we're pretty sure she could walk before.

As for DNC, I think he's trying to get us to find him somewhere. I'll see what I can do.

He spoke to her over the phone. He gave us bits of the conversation in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYpA02tTvxs&feature=related

Not to invoke paradolia, but to me it vaguely looks like
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
a woman, hands across knees, sitting in a pit or against a wall
.
Granted, this is entirely subjective and likely has no current bearing on the investigation, but I figured it's at least a conjecture.

Ah, thank you! I have no idea how I missed that video.

As for the bowser thing, my first impression was that the bowser part of it was some sort of light fixture. It looks that way during the few seconds that is repeatedly shown, but I'm not sure.

Also, wasn't the masked guy smoking a cigarette with the horse in the background in one video? I'm on my phone so I can't check right now.

At the point in the video this happens, it looks like the camera is filming in night vision to me, which would explain why she is feeling around and touching the camera man's shoes, because all the lights are off.

Yep, you may be right. And also, rewatching that, she has both feet tied and twisted 90 degrees, which would explain the crawling.

But damn, I don't wanna watch it again.

 		Well DNC has a new video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkpsdpg3VEI

For some reason Youtube didn't notify me when it was uploaded.

I HAD NO CHOICE


That's the video description, the video says 35≠26ø which I guess means we need a 7x5 grid. I'm working on it, but I'm sure someone will do a better job.

Also, can those "poems" be anagrams for something?


EDIT: @wabonan: I can get frame by frame of the video, but around the 37 second mark all I see is the gray SUV passing left to right and the blinking emergency lights of the ambulance. If you tell me more details about the exact moment, I can try to get a screenshot.

BTW, the guy took the time to cover and/or blur all license plates and marks in every car, police car, fireman truck and ambulance, so I can't get a location based on that. However, I'm not from the US, so maybe I'm missing something blindly obvious about those vehicles (like, say, ambulances only look like that in X state or something like that).
