hey, I noticed a little something..

In the page that contains the sound file, if you look at the source the pin number is there.

<!-- PIN=5813 -->

It's not on the FILE page source.

Could anyone try the number again? I'm a poor Canadian and can't call :(

(I could use skype, but I'm lazy haha)

Tried it, nothing.

Btw. when calling that number and dial 0 after the voice, you will hear an announcement "announcement, no one is available to take your call, good bye."

Isnt the word 'their' a bit weird?

"I will make that person famous in a way the world has not seen before. Their name will be repeated" (plural)

But later on

"Let?s be more preciseThat nameb> will" (singular)

Their = singular 3rd person posessiv:s:s

what about: "Your chance to be that person will start when the countdown hits zero".. maybe we need to decrypt the swf file of the countdown and see which url it opens when reaches zero?

Decompiling the swf gets nowhere. You will find obfuscated actionscript, which submits your key to precodehandler.ashx.

what about: "Your chance to be that person will start when the countdown hits zero".. maybe we need to decrypt the swf file of the countdown and see which url it opens when reaches zero?

Theres nothing like that in the source, and any company that knows what they're doing wouldn't put it in there. They'll have something running on the server side that changes the page for when it's loaded after the timer has expired.

I wonder why when i change my time, the counter changes.. shouldn't it be server-sided clock?

There is a function on the server which it can call to get the time until the date using a web service, but it appears as if it's not using that at the moment.

    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper.

    • No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.
    • Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.
