At least now we can show the real cipher key image in the start post.

I've created a copy of the second YouTube video (Ignition).

In case they remove it again:

Nice music for the video btw

Here is mine...I also have it posted on my own forum for all to see ;) It shows as Cipher Key 6...it's the ROT+4 (the only one that doesn't actually make a word....)

I think the metal on the rock isnt special or something...

It's just a animation created for the video.

Notice when she heats the metal, the first G of vanishinG moves downwards a few centimeters (between 00:11 and 00:12). The last part is the first part played in reverse, you notice it again at 00:40

I can't find any obvious clues in the video... (yet)

Another thing, are we all 100% sure the videos on the USB keys are all exactly the same? I mean has anyone thought of comparing the filesizes or maybe even doing a checksum of the file to compare here on neowin? It would be a real kicker if there were several versions with minor and subtle changes and no-one noticed since no single person has compared them all.

Let me start, here's the file details of mine. Please compare the exact size with yours and note any differences here:

Here is mine :) Decent point about the boot screen, although I'm pretty certain they plan to keep it like that in promoting quick booting and hardware that boots quickly enough that you won't have time to see a boot screen, although I could be wrong, the extras is also something decent to think of, noone knows anything about those thus far ;)

The Real Boot Screen for Vista ? Somehow I doubt the final retail release will boot black screen.

I think you are in denial about that. The version everyone has now is the final version and does not contain a boot screen. I would prefer one myself, but I don't think that is going to happen.

Oh and I agree about there likely being more keys and information before the 8th.

Hmm

Something less than a thousand may have seen ?

Vista Extras - Still only speculation ?

Just a thought.

I still think there will be more keys.

After the RTM...there's basically no chance of anything new.

Edit: As for those extras...Maybe a nice $39.99 Vista Plus! would be released..

At least i hope not!

Hey guys, yes, this is my first post and unfortunately for me I caught hold of this thread at page 100 so I've tried to learn what I can but if someone has posted something similar to my post I apologise for bringing things back up.

At the moment I think that the two things that intrigue me most is the fact that this "Loki" character has made what looks like two mistakes. Now for someone to write what we have seen in /biography, she certainly doesn't look like the type of person to be making mistakes, and it is read there that "Once I realized I didn?t have to give the right answer, even when I knew it, life got easier."

Maybe we should look into her mistakes more, but who knows, it seems as if at this point we have solved all to be solved and may aswell just wait for the countdown to end,

The other thing which intrigues me is the countdowns. I think a lot can be learnt from these countdowns that show us how to game will progress. We see that the LA, Sydney, Miami, Austin and Pheonix countdowns will end around a week after the Las Vegas countdown. But then there's another week untill the Singapore, Berlin, London, Toronto and San Fran countdowns end . I predict that we will receive the twelve puzzles at these meets, and maybe have backup ones posted on forums and such, but they will have to be solved to get the locations to the next meets (the LV meet will give us puzzles to locate the LA, Sydney, Miami, Austin and Pheonix meets, and at these meets we will get puzzles to find the location of the Singapore, Berlin, London, Toronto and San Fran meets).

Then we have the Seattle meet in Washington. This seems to be the end of the game. What I think will happen is something along the lines of the people who work out the puzzles from the last meets will get plane tickets to this last meet, as I doubt that they'd have meets all over the world and end it with one somewhere where many people can't go. And at this last meet the prizes will be rewarded. Maybe we will have to find Loki in Seattle...

Anyway this is what I picked up from reading the /CIRCUMAMBULATION page and other pages. I know it's long but I hope it contributes.

lets be serious... Microsoft is gonna announce something at CES on Monday and give away some prizes to some people who are able to be there. Nobody is gonna get famous off of this thing. It's just to get people intrigued as to what the whole thing is about so people pay attention to what they have to say.

I really doubt it's anything THAT important.

i was looking at the ignition video and the very last scene seemed interesting. She seems to be pointing towards the house in the background. Anybody can recognise the location of the scene? Maybe some Seattle residents?

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.

    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.
