The following link was posted in the /r/kernaloftruth subreddit earlier today:

http://twinbread.com/?stdin=U2tOU1RsZHRXbWxXUlRWRVdFZG9aMVJuUFQwTkNnPT0=

If you take the string following stdin= and run it through a Base64 decoder three times in a row, you end up with "$$MZfbTNC\h`N", which when provided as an input to the Brainfuck program on the twinbread.com homepage results in the output "KERNAL.HTML".

This page contains a link to an MP3 copy of the Kernal of Truth audio -- can someone confirm whether this is identical to what we already have?

Also of note: the MP3 is tagged with the title "butts" and has "NTSC" in the comments. Maybe we need to try converting the tape differently...

Anyone tried the ole MP3 <-> RAW trick?

UPDATE: I ran Kernal.png trough fotoforensics, yaknow, for shits and giggles. Software used to create it originally was released around 2005, being Adobe ImageReady, the XMP data shows it may have been edited with Photoshop CS5.1, its release date being some time around 2010.
Heres the FotoForensics permalink: http://fotoforensics.com/analysis.php?id=edac8abd872a35e100663fe08104fe23b8b6b849.21812

They really have been sitting on this stuff for a while.

Update 2:I went to Netcraft with the twinbread URL, and got some interesting data. take a gander

So, there's a new Twinbeard game - Kickstarter Simulator 2015. Might possibly contain more clues?

Also, the Berkeley Campus event is soon (5th April, 3pm). Hope someone can report back!

I didn't find anything of use from legitimate playing, I might have missed something. just bad ideas and a reference to the KS video, which we already picked clean.

Some unspecified amount of money, as referenced in the original tweet?

(Don't expect it to be that much, of course.)

Briefly: We met Jim Crawford and went for a walk. Then he was abducted by time-travelling vigilantes. But he dropped a bag full of floppy disks and other things before they carted him off.

We have videos/photos of much of it; more details soon!

Edit: Grammar.

My girlfriend and I were the ones that got the photos and videos. We will try to get them posted tonight when we get home.
