[PUZZLE] MarbleHornets.com Error GIF Trying to decode message in the erroerror.gif. Hey, I was wondering if anyone had gotten anything out of the GIF showing on http://marblehornets.com/44 In the page's source code, it is called erroerror.gif.
The runes flashing onscreen are vaguely familiar, but the background is puzzling. I am trying to see if I can figure out the image, and of anyone could try to identify the symbols, that would be wonderful.
Edit: I have seen many things that might be eyes, and one very prominent one. Nothing yet, beside that.

Re: MarbleHornets.com Error GIF Trying to decode message in the erroerror.gif. I zoomed out the window, took off my glasses and stood back.
I see an up close face.

Zoomed out, I seem to see a close up of a face wearing black thick rimmed glasses, sort of like... frantically nodding? Or shaky cam. Not sure. Zoomed in, it looks like just a fuckin' mess.

I'm seeing that too, I know Tim has glasses like those.

That's what I'd thought at first, but I don't really see eyes or a bridge to the nose.

That could be it. The extra eyes I saw could just be matrixing. My eyes are really messed up.

I could see the glasses. I first thought it looked like a forest. Then it reminded me of a shot of the tower in Entry # 5

Everyone's probably noticed this already, but since no one's said it in the thread yet: the gif seems to show up on any page other than the main marblehornets.com one. It doesn't seem to matter what you put after the slash. Maybe we should try to see if there's a page that comes up differently?

i thought of that too. like a password?
I used the timestamps in the behind the scenes (PLAY 5:3 i took as entry 53, and 5:58 -4:40 i think) to try and find out a word in MH. I got "sideburns" though lol.

So I spent most of today figuring out what the error code could mean, and I believed I cracked the code. Basically, the lines of letters and numbers scrolling down all have the same letters and numbers, just at different locations. I put the sequence into a few code breaker programs, and one of them turned out to be a youtube link. It sheds a little light onto the whole 44, and it's connection to the first Marble Hornets series.

Guys, I was looking at the 44 forum, and someone said that they got an email from D. Scott that contained the words "there are footsteps."
Me, being curious, tested that in the url. There is a different image! It looks like a seabed. http://marblehornets.com/therearefootsteps It is called thewaterisdeep.gif in the source code.

Not really sure how relevant this is, but there are 44 brackets both above and below the image. This whole 44 thing is starting to make me mad, while somehow being equally puzzling.

I strongly support this, as typing therearefootsteps after a slash on the URL brings you to the underwater GIF

I feel thelike email to get to the therearefootsteps page was like, level 1.
Now we are on level 2. Is there another password that can be found here somehow, that gives us the next secret page?
