I'm not going with the L stands for Loreley. I'm still thinking it stands for Loki.

There's a lot more possibilites out there for "Murmuring Rock", I did some looking into waterfall projects and found crosslinks with AMD and Windows that went no where.

Ahh isn't Loki a combination of the first 2 letters of the first / last names? LOrelei KItsune?!?

I'd say the D&G is irrelevant. All time puzzles have been solved. The next puzzle box is 'Magic Happens', so i'd say no more watch/clock/time thoughts are needed anymore?

I'd suggest the intro video just introduces Loki's passions, the watches for the first puzzle, the magician gloves for the second puzzle, herodotus and the book of history for the 4th puzzle? not sure about the 3rd yet..need to watch the vid again i guess

u ppl are looking way to deep into things

I don't know if it has any significance but I found one of the weird text things on the D&G site

(where the text cursor pops up)

and I copied the text and it says

"Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0"

could this mean this site has possible ties to microsoft or is it just an unimportant glitch?

also, everytime you refresh the gears are in a different position.

Definitely :D that's why the meta-puzzle's so much fun to try to figure out.. think we'll have to wait until the next box though to get any more clues

Unimportant Glitch, .NET Framework 2.0 is a forced downloaded to any Windows 2003 + Server or XP running IIS6 or Vista/Longhorn running IIS7

Hey guys, this is a thread to discuss the post-teaser Vanishing Point game at www.vanishingpointgame.com

I'll be updating this first post with new info (with the help of members of the community).

In the mean time, check out www.vanishingpointwiki.com, created by our good friends at unfiction.

This has been split from the previous thread, starting with the post where it was noticed the site had changed.

Cheers.

Week 1 summary thanks to Manish's post

[*]Emailing her at [email protected] leads to an email message saying:

[*]Then some genius had the idea to ring MS & ask to be transferred to Loki

[*]This connects you to the following message: "Awesome work. All knowledge eventually needs effective diagnosis."

[*]Put the first letters to give "AWAKENED", which led to "http://www.vanishingpointgame.com/awakened"

[*]The number given on the site requires you to provide a fax number

[*]You receive a fax

[*]It also reveals Loki's name is "L. Kitsume"

[*]This AT&T building is now an AMD building & the phone number is "408 749 4000" & use extension "x55654" from the fax

[*]The following message is heard:

[*]Google or Wikipedia (or whatever) murmuring rock & you encouter the word/name Lorelei

[*]Implying Loki's real name is Lorelei Kitsume & that's basically where we're at

[*]Also a bunch of white squares have been found in the individual puzzles: location and zoomed in versions

Looks good Rob. Cheers for the compilation.

Has anyone analyzed the notebook with the somewhat geometric scribblings in the -Hear the Challenge- video? Right after she says, "...the Vanishing Point? It's where things disappear, remember? I tried freezing the frame. Looks like some mathmetical equations, some green scribblings and a few geometric shapes. Just an observation.

Sweet. We should meet up at some point if you like. Specially because im not sure where the event is.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitsune_in_popular_culture

"Lorelei and Issac in the webcomic Black Tapestries webcomic appear as anthropomorphic foxes (Lorelei being a werefox) and both often behave as tricksters. Lorelei is also fond of alcohol and has many personality similarities to the modern depiction of Kitsune. Kitsune are mentioned as an explanation or how Lorelei briefly ended up in our universe, as drunken student occultists try to summon a Kitsune and summon the were-fox Lorelei instead (much to her confusion and rage). It should be noticed that neither Lorelei nor Issac are "Kitsune" as they are merely anthropomorphic foxes (Lorelei not full time)."

Sneaky fox?

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
