Been reading the forum for a week... first time posting.

I have a widescreen laptop. When I go to http://assets.vanishingpointgame.com/week01.swf, I see a spinning gear off to the right (looks like the hourglass puzzle gear), too far out of frame to see when you go from the main page. The more interesting thing is that the gear is not spinning correctly. The inside rotates clockwise, while the sprockets "pulse" right, then go back to their "start", and repeat.

So I looked at the puzzle gears. The Airport and Hourglass gears are rotating strangely as well. All of the others spin normally.

Nothing strange in week02.swf.

Just thought I'd throw it out there.

This is commonly found in flash files. Usually if you're just tinkering around and have an object or something that you don't want to delete, but may want to keep for later so you can copy or it whatever you want to do, you just drag it off of the visible area of the flash file. However, when people directly view the flash files in a browser, it will show them everything, even if it's outside of the visible area.

I'd say it's just something that they forgot to delete rather than anything significant.

That's true, but these guys have been VERY careful with how things are set up in the game. Both an incorrectly spinning gear and the extra one off screen seem suspicious to me.

OK I think I got it regarding the gesture with her glasses, she is giving directions !!!

The gesture is not something casual and to me really looks as part of the script .

As you know I've been talking about this for a couple of days and posted about it several times.

Being a persistent person I reviewed all the videos again and again today, from the first one in the hotel,

the Belagio event and the two videos we got after solving the puzzles. In ALL of them she does it !!

and why the loki.jpg picture in the vpg server shows her doing exactly that particular gesture.

Look again at the videos and listen carefully the word she is saying when she does the gesture, if I take the

videos in chronological order the message is "RIGHT-UP-RIGHT-DOWN", is the message complete ?

probably not and I don't think is directly related to the puzzles we already solved, they may be clues to

solve something that is coming or part of deciphering her identity and the meta puzzle.

Please double check and tell me what do you think.

Cheers

Clever, but all too human. They've had to, on several occasions, go back and change things such as spelling (Australia, Singapore, etc).

Sure, we need to keep an eye on things, but some things will simply be human error.

Not too "VERY", last night one of the scripts was not working due a programming error,

and if you look at the flash files of the gear the solution about how to position the

gears is right in front of your eyes.

Plus what agentleman pointed out, on Loki's bio the reference to the "pi" number was incorrectly rounded,

and on the hand watches puzzle the clocks hands showing the seconds were not "synchronized"...

so expect some bugs and snafus... in the worst case you have to install windows again or reboot three

thousand times until it works ... :-)

There are other few things but they may lead to "tampering" with the game ...

Right, I looked Up the videos and was surprised that you were Right in what you wrote Down. Funny that we seemed to remember the Right more than the two other words associated with her pulling down her glasses. Good observation!

Now if we only knew what it meant...

I don't believe the message is complete yet, but is something to keep in mind, what

really trip me is that I was browsing in youtube for clues and found a video

different from the one posted on the vpg site, it shows the whole event, and watching

it again I noticed the glasses and clearly hear the "UP".

There is another video (don't have the link now) from Fox News showing how five

planes flying in parallel performed the dot matrix stunt for the aerial clues.

And I'm still convinced that there are more clues in the videos and I'm departing

from digging more into the flash files, don't believe there is anything else there.

Cheers

Here is the link to the Fox News video showing the planes ...

The meaning of a VANISHING POINT is when something is becoming more and more distant from you. When you look at a straight sttreet that you're standing on...and its veryyyyyyyyy long...at some point it will disappear out of your sight. This is VANISHING POINT.....this is ALSO called "The HORIZON"...........any thoughts?

OK your comments are getting rather silly. Either contribute something worthwhile or stop spamming with all of your nonsense.

As far as I am concerned...every tip is useful. No one else is doing anything about it.....so any discussion is a good discussion...remember this is a PUZZLE. If you're so smart, throw something in to work with :) if not....read quietly and thats all....in a puzzle you dont sometimes know what exactly is witty or what isnt...

Look I am not trying to be a dick but so far you have talked about condoms, lesbians, construction, and pens. I am all for trying to find more clues but you are manufacturing connections where there are none.

Has anyone taken a close up on the fire extinguisher that's on the wall in the 2 post box videos? It's white and appears to have a lot of writing on it. I've never seen a white fire extinguisher.

I too don't understand why there's a label on the exit door.

I really like confusio's discovery of the directions with the glasses. Good job.

I'm guessing that Loke vanishes at the Seattle event at Gas Works park. If any of you are in the area, they're planning a big celebration(over 21) and if you've ever been to a MS party - you wont want to miss it. Just get there early to find parking!!

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.
    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.3 Release Notes Notable changes: Clears the preference toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart, which may otherwise trigger an upstream bug on Windows (librewolf/issues#3056) Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.
