One of the blog entries has quite a few riddles. I've tried to compile together the "unsolved" ones. I will put spoiler tags on solves (or potential solves):


I think I know this one:
Why is a chicken's neck like a dinner bell?

An umbrella.


Damn you chatting people, beating me to the punch.

Good thinking!

My only thought was the uneaten part of the cake, since it would be what's "left".

 		For those that don't have audio where they are, here are the transcripts for the movies on ouroboros (little rough since I don't have headphones on me - so if you have a correction PM me and I'll fix it).

explosion:
Quote:
I think if you really put your mind in a certain direction, you tend to see certain things. And those things, become an object in and of itself. But when you break it apart, the pieces that were there orginally, are not the same anymore. Are unrecognizable.


eye:
Quote:
Didn't quite do what I wanted to do. I use letters, ciphers, numerical codes, things like that. But it wasn't quite...didn't quite go far enough.


outside:
Quote:
As if you're being drawn in. If you turn yourself around, in a three dimensional world, it would be like the door was closing behind you, and the world became a world that was unrecognizable. But then if you could make it through the other side or to the center of where you were going, the world that you thought you were in was not this same world at all.


like language:
Quote:
*laughs* I've had so many people ask me what they're...what it is they're doing or how they want to set up a...set up their own adventure game or digital game or mind game or... Well, mind games are <something else?>. And, *laughs* they always ask, they always ask me what I did to create these games. They're always looking for the codes within codes. Those little messages within my games, messages within everything that I say to them. *laughs*

 		Makes me think that maybe the letters that appear in some of the screenshots in the "gameography" are hiding something...

 		I found something a tad interesting in the rant pages - may be something, may be nothing. But if you look at rants_index.html, you'll notice that the numbering scheme for the entries isn't exactly what you would expect (namely date based). There seems to be two numbering schemes, a 500 series and an 1100 series. Neither is "complete" and so far I haven't found a reason why the entries are numbered so.

This is the order of the numbers:
Quote:
001118 001117 001116 001115 000557 001127 000556 000555 000554 000553 001126 000552 000551 001125 000550 000549 000548 000547 000546 000545 000544 001124 000543 000541 001123 001122 000540 000539 000537


I tried looking for the 000538 & 000542 posts, but got a 404 error.

 		Unfinished Game
There's more than one solution to the unfinished game.

naoko pops up another (a different?) login box

Just to be complete, this login box is for a page called "beloved" in the box and /naoko in the 401.
The unfinished game works probably as an access for a variety of password-protected pages, it's up to us to find them out... and to figure out the passwords.

 		Hey guys, I don't know if this deserves a spoiler or what (or if it's even relevant), but I'll just shove it here in case:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

I was exploring http://www.virgilkingofcode.com/ and I happened to notice that the images on the site that loads after the splash were all titled layer1_blah.jpg and discovered if you typed layer2_blah.jpg, there'd be images for a slightly different version.

http://www.virgilkingofcode.com/layer2_nav.html
http://www.virgilkingofcode.com/images/layer2_main.jpg
http://www.virgilkingofcode.com/images/layer2_top.jpg

Although, admittedly there doesn't seem to be a layer2 version for all the images.
