 		Gabriel X
an old channel I was watching from a previous ARG just came alive and a new video was posted. Pretty sure it is unrelated to the previous arg (see meta below)

the video:



YouTube: Link

META:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
in the previous arg, this guy was called Paul X, now he is calling himself Gabriel X. also the topic seems to be different, therefore I think it is unrelated


In the movie, at 7:56 a text appears in the distortion:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
we see you hermit

 		New video up. Focus seems to be on a brown leather jacket worn by whoever's holding the camera, but G says he's never had such a jacket.

More distortion at the end, tho I can't make any words out. Then again all I saw in the first video was the word "hermit". (ETA: Nvm, I see it now - right at 7:56)

There are the words (that I can see)
Quote:

followed by the Numbers that appear at 46-47 seconds:

 		There is also a string of what looks like base 64 at 1:41, but I've either written it down or subsequently typed it incorrectly and can't decode. Now I can't seem to manage to pause the vid at the right point to check - is anyone quicker on the button than me?

 		I followed this earlier and I guess I can give it another chance. In the About section of the YouTube account is still a link to the old twitter account, but I guess the pm just forgot it, because this seems to be a reboot.

I decoded the base64 at the end of the latest video

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The base64: ViBqdnl5IGNlcmNuZXIgbGJoIHNiZSBndXIgaGNwYnp2YXQgcHVueXlyYXRyZi4gTGJoIHVuaXIgZ2Igem54ciBmaGVyIHVyIHF2cmYuIEd1cmwgcG5hYWJnIHVuaXIgbmFiZ3VyZSBwbmdueWxmZy4

translates to: V jvyy cercner lbh sbe gur hcpbzvat punyyratrf. Lbh unir gb znxr fher ur qvrf. Gurl pnaabg unir nabgure pngnylfg.

which is rot13 and translates to: I will prepare you for the upcoming challenges. You have to make sure he dies. They cannot have another catalyst.


ETA: I just noticed that right at the end of the video appears the words
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
they are here.

 		Heh, I was just getting ready to post those. Now I don't have to figure out how. Wink

My decoding is super rusty, but here's what I got out of the flash of code near the end of #5:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
MemEtic weapoNs - 7dimensions - she dwells in the aether


The audio also does something weird in this one, and Gabriel says his speakers don't work after playing it.

I can't see anything too exciting in #4.

 		great decoding..

the last bit of the quote tells me there is something hidden in the audio..

not an audio guru though, so maybe someone can look at that?
