Valve Conspiracies: The Portal Radio Update (Megathread Mark II)

[QUOTE=aurum481;20549615]Wait, where that image came from in the first place ?[/QUOTE]
It's all the images overlayed on top of each other with transparency. Stupid people doing stupid things IMO.

[Vegetaman]

[QUOTE=Neckbeard;20549633]If that actually is a crosshair over somebody, I bet we'll have to assassinate some shady Combine/Evil figure.[/QUOTE]

I can't tell if it's a crosshair, or if it looks like a composite image displayed on 4 "screens" within the image. But good call, sir.

[Barrington]

Looks like there's a perfect dark spot under the head for a tie as well.

[Dmax3901]

You guys... seriously...

you mean all the dinosaurs with transparency on top of eachother ?

[MaxOfS2D]

Added a fancy header to the OP and cleaned up the information

[QUOTE=aurum481;20549666]you mean all the dinosaurs with transparency on top of eachother ?[/QUOTE]

yeah, it's most definitely pointless

[Canned Induvidu]

awesome

[QUOTE=Max of S2D;20549671]yeah, it's most definitely pointless[/QUOTE]

Undoubtedly. I mean, I can also 'make out' a pair of glasses (imagine the "guy's head" being where the nose piece goes, and two lenses on either side of it, tilted at an angle).

But isn't speculation the best part? I mean, even on the .005% chance you strike something...

[MaxOfS2D]

The BBS progress bar is still going at the same pace, apparently. 48/76 units completed

[prop_dynamic]

Dunno if this has been done already, but there is a MD5 Hash hidden in the images?

What I figured out so far, can't see some very clearly:
01/32:5
02/32:4
03/32:5
04/32:9
05/32:C (circled)
06/32:6
07/32:C
08/32:A (circled)
09/32:C
10/32:8
11/32:C (not sure, might be a Q, but that would make no sense for hexadecimal)
12/32:2
13/32:0
14/32:3
15/32:B
16/32:8 (circled)
17/32:1
18/32:2
19/32:8
20/32:B
21/32:7
22/32:C
23/32:C
24/32:6
25/32:3 (circled)
26/32:0
27/32:6
28/32:8
29/32:theta?

31/32:F
32/32:D

I have no clue as to how to decrypt it, you need a password?

[Roov]

No new info i see

Gordon Freeman is going to be in Episode 3.

We've cracked the fucking code.

you are connected to the BBS now ?

[Ravenholme]

[QUOTE=ViRiS;20549306][img]http://i50.tinypic.com/1znyiqa.jpg[/img]

Nope[/QUOTE]

What's interesting is how much that fan drawing of the GLaDOS-bot resembles the Combine Super Soldier of the beta, especially it's concept art. I wonder if the Combine are going to find Aperture Science because of Chell's escape, and are going to use the technology to their own ends (As they do)

[Canned Induvidu]

What is the BBS ip again?

Read the first post in this thread. That basically tells you EVERYTHING that is known thusfar.

Someone's squeezing good quality out of the images by only keeping one channel

[editline]09:36AM[/editline]

[QUOTE=Canned Induvidual;20549750]What is the BBS ip again?[/QUOTE]

It's a phone number :argh:

[Swivelgames]

[QUOTE=Canned Induvidual;20549750]What is the BBS ip again?[/QUOTE]

It's not an IP, it's a phone number. And don't worry about it, we already have enough people bogging down the people trying to log it.

Everyone else needs to leave the BBS alone and let those who are logging it right now, log it. Don't make it harder for everyone else. YOU'RE NOT HELPING. Leave it to the people in IRC.

[MaxOfS2D]

[QUOTE=aurum481;20549735]you are connected to the BBS now ?[/QUOTE]

No, a few guys in the IRC channel are though.

The estimate of yesterday was: the progress bar increments by one every 1.4 hours

[Oxiv]

[QUOTE=Max of S2D;20549766]No, a few guys in the IRC channel are though.

so, about two days, then? since that's about 40 hours.

or my math skills are showing horribly, either or

[Canned Induvidu]

Phone number, alright...I'd still wouldn't mind following it. I've got all day, I might aswell.

[MaxOfS2D]

[QUOTE=RJ102;20549772]so, about two days, then?[/QUOTE]

a bit less than two days, yeah... we'll see

another theory is that the progress bar is directly updated by Valve (really, I'm pretty sure that they've got people watching our community, and maybe sending out false leads -- this wouldn't be surprising at all), and represents the progress towards the next clue / the end of the puzzle

[editline]09:46AM[/editline]

here's the wiki page for the progress bar

[url]http://portalwiki.net/index.php?title=Breaking:_The_Progress_Bar[/url]

current estimate is March 5th, 2010 12:30PM PST
