most of electronic music will show these kinda artifacts in a spectrometer.

edit:

from some random track.

Uploaded the song onto youtube for the lazy:

Where is that final picture? :argh:

AWESOME song.

[Sokrates]

Sounds like runescape

[Ray-The-Sun]

Haven't seen it mentioned in the thread, apparently the song makes a percentage appear at the bottom.

Okay, according to the news, there's another percentage bit at the bottom of the screen when the song is played in Kick It; I assume there are plenty of people attempting to finish it and get it to 100%. It'll probably produce another AS login screen.

I guess i'm not the first one asking, but what is the big point of this ARG? Has any useful information leaked out yet?

It's one of those ARGs that advertise a game. They're popular among publishers, but few people can do them right (cough There's Something Under the Sea). This one appears to be hittin' all the right buttons.

Something in the Sea was spectacular.

[Giraffen93]

So it's just an advertisement? Oh. The BBS was cooler.

[Vadermath]

Right now, I don't think the ARG is purely for advertising Portal 2, there's got to be something more to it. Portal 2 has received plenty of hype by now on its own, it doesn't need this to sell well. This will either reveal something new, or something special related to the story.

But it was before Portal 2 was really known? It showcased the vegetation and whatnot.

That was an ad for Portal 2 which gave a few details about Aperture, this may have something like that aswell.

All that was part of the first ARG which was to advertise the Portal 2 announcement...

I like this one because it's internet-based. Halo's Ilovebees was cool, but you had to fucking run around cities looking for clues and phone booths, and then play along for more info.

Any success in 123 yet? ARG Wiki's not reporting anything, so I'm guessing not.

i am late but "in twain" means "in two parts" so it just says "slice the beast in half"

The beast could mean the number of the beast, meaning 666 and splitting into a grand number. (333?)

I believe 616 is the number of the beast.

Yes. But i mean this one is just advertising while the other one reveals stuff, since we now know about P2, what is there to show? Spoilers?

Well, the Portal and Half-Life universe are one and the same. Maybe it's to promote the release of Portal 2. Maybe not.

And with that, Sandy updates. I assume the warehouse she mentions is the Wonderful End of the World level. I can't make heads or tails of it, there seems to be no way to get a high enough score in it.

Edited:

For those not in the know, WEotW has no jump feature, preventing you from collecting some of the smallest crates.

[Vadermath]

We still don't know what this ARG is ultimately about, folks.

People in the warehouse= us! We are lost, it means we are hitting a red herring!
Also,Every time we hit a milestone they comment on a message in a spam folder.

l4d2 just updated, not sure if its part of the arg

Speaking of 123 Kick It, unless that message Solanum whatever means something when we discover the Aperture page for that game, I fucked up.

All the design and words that I saw are just a really fancy finish line animation that I hadn't seen before. I think I fouled up, guys, sorry.



I still stand by the fact that the song goes into that game though. Maybe 100% it? Shoot all the flying missiles? I dunno, but I think it's more likely than Audiosurf.

100% it and it gives an Aperture login

Which is meaningless at this point. The real thing that happened when it was achieved was an update on Sandy's blog.

Oh god. We're all still heading in the wrong direction.

Is there somthing we're missing? One massive, misplaced item that everyone seems to have missed?

If we have found the Peabody stencil picture...where is Atlas's?

[blerb]

Hoe about we try and figure out the fucking flower

Unless it's been solved already, which I don't think it has

So getting the Potato, and to the login page is probably the second part some of us hit.

The fuck is the first part then? Are there hidden potatos or something around the levels? More codes in the bios? So vague with no clues to point in any direction.

I still want to know the password to Killing Floor's Aperture login, incidentally.

[blerb]

I wish I didn't have to work in a half hour :(

I would actually sit down and try to figure out the flower if I had the time...
