 		There is somthing on the tv
this is part of the hiding room flash code.
Code:

case 'choosedvd':
          var v5 = this.pInstance.attachMovieWithClass('InvisibleButton', 'choosetv', 50, {'_parentClass': this, 'pButtonid': 'showTv'}, PressButtonClass);
          v5.ApplyParams(_global.HSParamObject.showTv.params);
          _global.gDynamicObjectClass.AppendObject('Overlay', v5);
          v5 = this.pInstance.attachMovieWithClass('CloseButton', 'closebutton', 51, {'_parentClass': this, 'pButtonid': 'forceexit', 'pLabel': 'CloseDVD'}, PressButtonClass);
          v5.ApplyParams(_global.HSParamObject.close.params);
          _global.gDynamicObjectClass.AppendObject('Overlay', v5);
          break;
        case 'showTv':
          _global.gVideoPlayBackObject.AttachInstance('showTv', this, 2, 'NewEvent');
          break;
        case 'playTv':
          _global.gTvVideoObject = new VideoPlayBackClass();
          _global.gTvVideoObject.Init(_root, 'TvVideo', 'TvVideo', 30, {'_x': 80, '_y': 20});
          _global.gTvVideoObject.AttachInstance('TvVideo', this, 3, 'NewEvent');
          var v5 = this.pInstance.attachMovieWithClass('GenericButton', 'replayButton', 50, {'_parentClass': this, 'pButtonid': 'replayVideo', 'pLabel': 'Replay'}, PressButtonClass);
          v5.ApplyParams(_global.HSParamObject.replay.params);
          _global.gDynamicObjectClass.AppendObject('Overlay', v5);
          v5 = this.pInstance.attachMovieWithClass('CloseButton', 'closebutton', 51, {'_parentClass': this, 'pButtonid': 'closeTv', 'pLabel': 'CloseTv'}, PressButtonClass);
          v5.ApplyParams(_global.HSParamObject.close.params);
          _global.gDynamicObjectClass.AppendObject('Overlay', v5);
          break;
        case 'closeTv':
          _global.gDynamicObjectClass.ClearObject('Overlay');
          _global.gTvVideoObject.destroy();
          this.NewEvent();
          break;


as you can see, the dvd and the tv are hotspots.

 		very interesting, gleb

of course, i've tried clicking EVERYWHERE over the tv, the dvd player and all the dvd's but nothing happens.

we'll have to watch this space.

on a similar note, does anyone know anything about bar codes?
i think the cd rack, and the dvd rack look a little bar codes.
would be interesting to see if they translate into a number sequence we could use.

 		perhaps we need to find a remote?

also i find it odd how it says 'exit music for a film :: after dark 2004 :: Unklesounds'

well i dont know much about this movie.... and by exit music it means somehow eject the cd? hmm, food for thought.


EDIT:
woooah, googling after dark 2004 and unklesounds, gives:

http://www2.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/artistIDSearch.do?ctx=12;-1;-1;-1&artistID=183207

first one in the list says: 'Edit Music For a Film - After Dark Prologue' edit not exit. how odd. also the cover art, just for a second, looks a lot like jons sketches on the wall. any ideas? myabe the sound file needs to be altered somehow?

 		Just so you know, Exit Music for A Film is a Radiohead song from the Kid A album, which was remixed by UNKLE (aka James Lavelle). So I wouldn't look for any extra meaning in the song title.

Hmmm... but as agreed before, thehidingroom is a virtual creation made by jon, so everything in it has been put there on purpose. Including the spelling mistake?...

 		ey, firefox, good job bringing up the cd again!

your cd, i mean you finding the special edition, has something very important, guess you noticed it but ill mention it for the ppl not looking at given urls....

the RELEASEdate of the special edition is, guess....

21 MARCH

being a perfect date for an update......

21th of march is the SPRING EQUINOX
http://www.religioustolerance.org/spring_equinox.htm

found this on the same site, reminded me of CERBERUS......


Quote:
The descent of the goddess or god into the underworld for a period of three days. This is such a popular theme among religions that mythologists refer to it as "the harrowing of Hell."


and this:

Quote:
The spring and fall equinox were celebrated in ancient times. A cluster of megalithic cairns are scattered through the hills at Loughcrew, about 55 miles North West of Dublin in Ireland. Longhcrew Carin T is a passage tomb which is designed so that the light from the rising sun on the spring and summer equinoxes penetrates a long corridor and illuminates a backstone, which is decorated with astronomical symbols.


the last quote which names that stone in that particular cave in ireland, took my interest, i googled a bit, and found that it has something to do with starmaps.

http://www.mythicalireland.com/ancientsites/loughcrew/loughcrew.html

then i googled this:

http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:6GqS1AjM9iUJ:www.accuracyingenesis.com/happy.html+21+march+pagan+aleph&hl=nl

where it is stated that something with aleph and spring equinox are related in religion..........

perhaps im going way too far, but it fascinated me, and i wanted you to inform.....

 		i wouldn't go find much more meaning to the typo either.

as i said in the unkle cd thread, the latest copy that brigid sold on ebay brings up something interesting:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1561&item=4066469494

check the feedback about the handwriting. or is it just that the hewalksamongus.com url was hand written? (check the back cover of the cd)

anyhow, i have sent a message to the auction winner asking about the handwriting.

i am still unconvinced that the march 21st release date is related to the game. this is no longer the limited edition that was available at the stella sponsored event.
if march 21st was any day other than a monday (records are always released on mondays in the uk), that theory could be supported, but i think it's just a coincidence.

 		I emailed the auction winner a couple of weeks ago and asked him the same question! He responded with a very friendly email.

Just in case he is getting too many emails and not answering anymore, he told me that all that was written on the cd was hewalksamoungus.com

 		Hi Guys and Dolls...

Why is it that every time someone starts a new topic somehow after a few posts the original topic is lost and we're drifting away into oblivian? Sad

Let's try to stay on topic in this one okay?

I'm really intriged by the findings of gleb....
Maybe we should focus on finding a remote control for the TV/DVD set like firefox suggested?
Or try to find a hotspot of some sort in the TV/DVD region?

After all the fuzz about Brigid's "very good" and "not so good" mails it has been extremely quiet in here so I'm very happy to see that people are still trying to find new clues. Very Happy

Cheers, Slowzone

 		TV
I have looked at the code too. Although part of the code refers to TV, Video and DVD, there are no hotspots or other references in the code. I will not be suprised if, after an update, like with the mobile phone and the back of the photo, there will be codes and hotspots to enable the TV.
