Almost convinced the new graphic is a puzzle or will be. I'll try to work on it tomorrow when I get back to my big fancy work computer...

I have missed it so much -- especially lately. Glad to have gotten the twitter posts ... gave me a reason, ya know?

This on the page now:

Habits indicate different idiosyncrasies. Necessarily, general date and time are indicated - normally almost certainly a rigidity. Repetition is evident; regular looping in keeping everything to his individual system is standard and females often reveal more obtuse features. Sometimes, to eager gawkers and nascent observers, games represents a perfect habitual yardstick.
— Karinna Darnell

If as in the past when we were a little slow on the uptake with the clues the text was meant to help us!

Don't know Karinna Darnell, but I'm about to find out...

Oddly, I can't find any info on Karinna Darnell on Google. With zero hits on EXACTLY that name, I'm curious if her name in itself is a clue or a puzzle of some sort. Either that, or I'm not utilizing my Google magic to my best ability. Additionally, the quote seems fabricated; when you search chunks of it on Google, only this forum turns up. Let me know what you think, friends!

I came up with the same result! The name could be an anagram or clue to some kind of code. Likewise the text. Breaking us back in with something easy? LOL

EDIT Karinna Darnell stumped my anagram finder...next...I thought I saw a Facebook page...maybe there's a Twitter or Instagram feed...

I found a message in the quote!

By taking the first letter of each word in the quote, the message is:
"Hiding data in a carrier like this is a form of steganography."

I'm so excited Levels is coming back, I'm pretty much a greenhorn in the ARG world and Levels has given me the chance to exercise an intuition for finding hidden information.

So cool! Nicely done! I learned a new word "steganography". Yay!

Did you post on Twitter, in the hopes of prompting the next puzzle?

In other news, has anyone had a crack at that video? I don't have the necessary software at home to work on it, and haven't had time at work. Might stay late and give it a shot tonight.

Seems like that really might have been a warm-up puzzle. I'm so excited to see what happens next!

As for the video, I think the only thing which COULD be hiding in there would be something spectrographic inside those bursts of static. Worth checking, I suppose!

While we're on the subject, does anyone know of a good, safe download for software that could help with spectrographs? I have always had trouble locating one.

I don't want to use my personal Twitter, so I might make a second one just to tweet the PMs.

And I found another hidden message! There's microtext underneath the YouTube video:


See that little line?



If you can't read that, it says "When playing ARGs, it can be a good idea to use software to monitor web pages for updates."

LOL! I saw that too and thought it was an ad from Twitter, i.e., for people to use Twitter. You think it's part of the game? Could be!

I have an ARG exclusive Twitter account, myself.

Re: the video, I was going to attempt to analyze the sound, and take stills of each frame and run them through Photoshop.
