Major Update Speculation Thread V3: Tonight's the Night, forever and always - Games

[QUOTE=Noodleneck;36430912]I don't know if anyone's pointed this out, but from the codes I see, it's not 388 separate codes, it's just one long one. For example: Code 034: 0x00 0x00 0x06 0x50 0x4C 0x54 0x45 0xFF Code 035: 0x00 0x06 0x50 0x4C 0x54 0x45 0xFF 0xFF Code 035 is just 034 transposed up one place.[/QUOTE] Nah, 227 & 228 are completely different. Nice spot though. oh almost forgot Error Code #7 Code 293: 0xEF 0x07 0xF5 0x69 0x06 0x8F 0x24 0x7D

Here's mine and a friend's codes: Error #1: Code 167: 0x39 0xF2 0x9A 0x5E 0xB9 0x8C 0x42 0x74 Error #4: Code 344: 0xC9 0xB7 0x4B 0x98 0xBC 0x25 0xF3 0xD5 Please add! edit: added error numbers

You guys are thinking that all the codes compile together to form a png image?

error #5 code 160 / " 0xC4 0x6B 0x28 0xDF 0xF4 0x63 0X49 0x8E "

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36430955]this is probably pretty much the living out of the original golden wrench idea. Everyone is working together to view a single .png[/QUOTE] In the Potato ARG from what I remember a image was usually your next clue.

I should have added the Error number since that is probably what "image" it pertains to: Error #2 Code 37 / 0X50 0X4C 0X54 0X45 0XFF 0XFF 0XFF 0X00

[QUOTE=SBlue;36430961]Nah, 227 & 228 are completely different. Nice spot though.[/QUOTE] If there are 8 different images they don't need to be the same. They could be from different images.

i think we need an op who we can rely on to collect the codes from all sources and compile into one place Should be someone who's pretty diligent about this stuff ned?

[QUOTE=SBlue;36430961]Nah, 227 & 228 are completely different. Nice spot though.[/QUOTE] That's odd then, because it works elsewhere. Maybe some banana errors are just that, errors. Or maybe there's more than one set of codes?

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36430955]this is probably pretty much the living out of the original golden wrench idea. Everyone is working together to view a single .png[/QUOTE] If the theories are right, there should be 8 pngs.

Code 1: 0x50 0x4E 0x47 0x0D 0x0A 0x1A 0x0A 0x00

error # 5 - code 195 / OXB3 OX1B OX82 OXCF OXE8 OX76 OX8F OX26 [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/R4ll8.png[/IMG]

[B]15th code is[/B]: code 15: 0x52 0x00 0x00 0x00 0xC8 0x00 0x00 0x00 And it is an error #6.

[QUOTE=psyke;36430984]i think we need an op who we can rely on to collect the codes from all sources and compile into one place Should be someone who's pretty diligent about this stuff ned?[/QUOTE] there's that nice google doc.

Also, theres a typo on the document. #337 is duplicated. Maybe the latter is supposed to be 347?

[QUOTE=ikelleigh;36430978]I should have added the Error number since that is probably what "image" it pertains to: Error #2 Code 37 / 0X50 0X4C 0X54 0X45 0XFF 0XFF 0XFF 0X00[/QUOTE] Yep, please mention your error number and code. This is very important seeing we don't want the codes messed up later on.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36431000]there's that nice google doc.[/QUOTE] yes but EVERYONE can edit that and it's quite cluster-fucked. if you started to collect from everywhere it'd be easier to organize the incoming codes

So, the banana error indicates which image, the code indicates where in the image, and the hex is the png file stuff. The md5's are the checksums for the images.

The code I keep getting: Code 352 / OXC9 OX65 OX97 OXd9 OX14 OXA8 OX52

Can't edit the doc so Error #6: Code 300: 0xA2 0x92 0xFE 0xE1 0xB5 0x03 0xA2 0x73 [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/0Gbdh.png[/IMG]

[QUOTE=iodotsys;36430990]Code 1: 0x50 0x4E 0x47 0x0D 0x0A 0x1A 0x0A 0x00[/QUOTE] Matches the PNG signature

Perhaps they're a qr code, and they link to a website valve put up. Quickly, check if valve has put up a new site! :tinfoil:

Anyone wanna lend me a banana, I'll give something to keep until I return it.

Code 106: 0xAD 0x5B 0x7F 0x2B 0x9A 0xF2 0x40 0x62 Error # 4 [IMG]http://puu.sh/CEsq[/IMG]

So many guests have created profiles just to post the codes.

[QUOTE=psyke;36431024]yes but EVERYONE can edit that and it's quite cluster-fucked. if you started to collect from everywhere it'd be easier to organize the incoming codes[/QUOTE] That's a ton of time and dedication. I'm crawling around right now looking at lots of information, if I had to focus solely on just collecting numbers...

holy mother of god there's a lot of people viewing this

This is a great day in mystery solving history, gentlemen.
