The REAL game starts... (Puzzle Box 1)

[TheReaperMan]

I was wondering if anyone has tried her title from the original letter sent out? "Engima Director"

yeah some tried it as a email address before i think

[madTdog]

I think it's kinda weird. I'm from the Netherlands and can't join either. I don't understand why Dutch people can't join... maybe tax issues or it's just a Dutch approach.

So after some thought i have three point for people in our situation to ponder:

1. I'm originally from the U.K, so i therefore have a passport and some family there, and can then register my name and use my family members address, and i'm therefore legally allowed to play. :blink:

2. If point 1 doesn't work for you, and you have some family in a registered country, you could always use their name and register through them. :whistle:

3. If points 1 and 2 do not work for you, you are skrewed..and as everyone on this thread seems to think you cannot blame microsoft, but instead should blame your fellow countrymen for voting Prime Minister Balkenende into power....so what you can do is go outside and find the nearest person who voted for Prime Minister Balkenende and hurt them...not that it will solve the probelm, but i bet it would feel damn good. :laugh:

WELL GUYS IT HAS FINALLY COME DOWN TO THE END,

GOOD LUCK AND SUCCESS TO YOUR ENDEVOURS

MAY THEY PAY OF BIG TIME...

aod - read back and you will find all the answers to the first part.

[anonymousjon]

sorry to say aob but all the clues and solutions are already available on various sites. But if you find out anything else let us know as it may not have come up yet :)

To be honest, that is what I first thought, but they weren't the waves she was talkiong about. They were there to pull us away from the real answer. she swings her arms 4 times and waves are made in the fountain. The fith wave makes Loki dissapear from view. The real answer is five.

Didn't we already solve all the puzzles, including the watch springs one? The clue was HOW MANY WAVES and wasn't the answer FIVE waves? It certainly was for me as I have got the points for that puzzle.

aob, I think you are a little behind the times my friend :)

mmm, the book she is reading relates to this information somehow as it contains a lot of the same names etc and the book title that is shown is also in the text???

is there anyway to take screen shots of video so you can zoom up?

If you're running Vista, just printscreen it, otherwise you may need to use a third-party player that supports taking screen captures.

[xFrappe051x]

Did some snooping, found the homepage.swf file (dunno if someone did already)

http://assets.vanishingpointgame.com/homepage.swf

If you really want to, you can decompile it or whatever, but I don't think there's really anything secret hidden in it.

you printscreen in XP etc to :)

[Shadow XL]

im running xp and only have itunes and wmp11 but if anyone can take screen shots of video for me. Im looking at her glasses in the "Hear the Challenge" video. As someone mentioned before when she is packing the clocks something is on her glasses, when she has finsihed packing the clocks there is nothing on her glasses... i cant tell what it is tho, anyone zoom up on it for me?

anonymousjon: it wont let me zoom up on the actual video in photoshop. like the player around it zooms up but the video stays the same.

[madTdog]

I guess there is nothing to do but wait for the L.A event....enjoy :shiftyninja:

[The_Devil_Inside]

I couldn't print screen in XP.

Not with windows media player anyway.

When I try to blow it up or crop or anything - the image is all goofy. Like the image nevery actually does what I want it to in photoshop.

But I can take shots of frames in powerDVD :)

speaking of video....

Is there a way to download the new video of her in the studio?

[anonymousjon]

ah yeah it does go dodgy my bad :(

[Shadow XL]

ok im looking at the glasses, it has some initials i think on them, to me looks like a H and a G or C

We've been over this in the past, it's just the designer logo on the glasses, and it's due to the angle of the light that it disappears at some point.

MAN :( I FEEL ALL SAD AND NOOB LIKE :/

IM JUST GONA READ BEFORE I POST ANYTHING FROM NOW ON :/

OH WELL ALL I COULD SAY IS

GOOD JOB

To tell you the truth i think it is more then that, i think alot will revolve around the glasses, maybe the right lense coz everytime she says right the glasses drop.

[Manish]

i just think the whole "right? *glasses drop*" bit was maybe due to her wondering whether we did the work ourselves or just uno... copied and pasted the answers in, etc. lol

actually yeah thats a large possibility

[agentleman]

Hey Team....

Is it just me, or does it look like there is more to the watchface than meets the eye? To me, at least, it looks like Loki's face superimposed over one more more images. At first I thought that the round big by her head was part of the watchface, but it isn't 100% round, and it also looks like it continues in a dark segment by her right shoulder.

Any thoughts?
