The most important thing now is to see what happens @ Bellagio Fountains - 6:30pm - January 8th. Is anyone on the forums here even around that area. some pictures would be awesome.

Funny you should mention that. LOKI ENTERTAINMENT was a company that ported linux versions of top games, who were then bought over by Microsoft and ...get this...vanished

I'm going to CES and I will be there at this time. I will have my 8mp camera and take as many pics a relevant.

Has anyone watched this video http://42entertainment.com/bees.html.

Bees are specifically referenced in the fibonacci sequence history:

there's still more to this 'vanishingpoint tag' thing... did anyone try XBL in the end?

I've sent a friend request to VanishingPoint (it exists as a gamerTAG but has no game/play history to it) on Xbox Live, I attached 'whoisloki?' as a message.

I'll keep you guys posted here if anything comes of it.

The bees part is a similar campaign 42 entertainment had for halo 2 when 4 people were sent honey in the may with pieces of paper suspended in the jars that were anagrams that later lead them to a puzzle like the ones that we are doing. But their site mentions inputing coordinates into GPS and picking up pay phones at correct times and lots of different puzzles not just ones on the web like this.

Also what about that invisible sandwich and that woman from the video putting something in that looked sharp? What she was putting in looks exactly like the diode on the cat. And what about the comment that got removed (when you dialed the 1800 number and pressed 0 something about pre-awareness)

I think we should try to solve the invisible cat pic.

i have it, but i only hear the audio :)

obviously the video is in too...

Hey I just saw that I still have it open in fullscreen, but i don't know where firefox caches it's files.

Its in: C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\PROFILENAME\Cache\

Search for a file with size: 3 799 262 bytes

If you rename it have AVI extension you can play, but i dunno what video codec it uses.

Edit: codec info: FLV-1 Flash/Sorenson

maybe leave it off, if this is a campaign for something let it die out abit. then something will hapen more exiting to make sure it doesnt fade out. if you get waht i mean? its up to you..

Edit: eg. wait till a new video is put up..

I don't think that really matters, nothing is left to chance in these things. We saw it (the video), we grabbed it, we reposted it.

The more people exposed to this the better.

We are needed to spread the word and make it bigger ;)

Also, remember that the people who received the Microsoft Puzzle boxes were asked to find the others like them. So by putting the info out for everyone to see, we are helping in that sense.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
