Ooh, nice screen grab! How'd you do that? When I paused the video it was still kinda blurry, I had a hell of a time figuring some of it out.
I just downloaded Audacity, but haven't messed with this stuff in years.
ETA: Mwahaha! The audio is a reversed, slowed down clip of this song:

Two new videos.
YouTube: Link
Can't see much of anything clue-wise here.
YouTube: Link
This one has a glimpse of a symbol carved into a rock, and some possible audio shenanigans. I'm gonna bat the audio around for a bit, but I'm drawing a blank on the code in the title.
ETA: Not getting much out of the audio (mostly because I don't know what I'm doing)... it just sounds like a very distorted recording of a person saying the word "sound" a few times.

The guy is still updating. I feel like I'm missing a lot... the words that flash on screen etc are so fast, and the scenery shots just feel completely random. No idea what's going on here.

On the second vid, the words "Fear the humming" appear around 0:09.
The title code is still bugging me, I feel like I should know what it is but I just don't.

ETA: Not gonna quadruple post. If nobody else wants to kick this one around some more, I guess I'll just let it die...

In case you hadn't gotten this one yet...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's straight decimal ASCII code vs. the hex you'd had before. Translates to:
R2hvc3Qgb2YgZnV0dXJlIHBhc3Q=
which is base64. Translating that you get:

I got tagged on a reply in Twitter but the tweet that they were replying to was not found. I have no idea where this one is going...

Ah, thanks Mr. Toasty! Codes were never my strong suit, and I'm rusty on top of that.
Looks like we've actually got some interaction going on the Twitter. Things seem to be stepping up a bit...

This is really confusing...(I guess its meant to be~)
I'm thinking that the footage could also be the reason the guy lost his memories?
Dunno..
Also he updates his blog very randomly. (though there doesn't seem to be too many hidden messages...unless I'm overlooking) His friend seems suspicious in some ways...

The hidden clues are in the videos, but the meat seems to be on Twitter right now.
I pointed out the clue in the first video to him ("names have meaning" or something) and he pointed out to me that the names of him & his friend are Gabriel and Michael. And he's already said that neither of them is very social.
Then there's the knife that was taken from him, and the weird hacker cult business, and the weird email he got, and now there seem to be people in black suits watching him.
Also, G says he didn't put those clues in the videos, so I guess it's up to us to start pointing them out to him.

In case anybody but me is still interested in this... it's totally still going. Mostly he puts up videos, some of which contain clues, some of which further the story. Sometimes he blogs, but the most recent post is really starting to hint at some meat: http://hermit01.blogspot.se
Couldn't find anything on the Knights, but OpApoc could be a number of things. I just really hope it doesn't mean we're supposed to go to 4chan. Cuz I don't wanna go to 4chan.
Latest video has a code at the end, and plenty more messed up sound that may or may not hide clues.

Other recent video(s) have weird staticy, stuttery audio that almost makes me think Morse code... but I haven't been able to get anywhere with it. Archive #6 or #8 maybe, I forget.

I've not listened to the video yet but the code at the end is ASCII for:

Yep, I got the same thing. That, plus a tweet I just got has me thinking we can safely put the 4chan thing in the red herring category.
