IGDELI, Hakkari

Just submitted: Lorelei Odessa Kara Igdeli

OK lets asume that the answer are personal names. Also from the last video and other clues

lets take that they were born in Japan, then how Odessa fits as a Japanese name ?

Does Odessa have any meaning in Japanese ?

Just in case it helps -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_names

Yeah it doesnt sound like we are going to get an immediate answer to the question. Sounds to me like they are going to wait this one out until Tuesday or so.. then send out the winning email to the first person that keeps the right answer on his/her account..

Lots of people will probably claim to have typed in the right answer, but that they changed it to something else...

Anyone news about the folks who vanished from seattle yesterday? Have they been recovered?

Maybe if any of them had a GPS, that would give the "mystery spot" :p

I have a feeling that we're missing something relating to the "I" name... very nice work everyone though! That room with a view puzzle was AMAZING! :D

Two things:

1. Are we sure the directions are right (up, down, left, right)?

2. Nothing too significant, but I noticed the names seem to be in order. First we got on_the_run (lorelei), then collectionplate (odessa), then more_answers (kara), then roamingroaming (i???). At first I was thinking that kara would be wrong, since they already gave us kitsune, but because they seem to be in order, kara is probably right.

You can asume that Kitsune is the family or last name.

anyone tried using santa cruz, ca mystery sport as starting point?

I hope they release them soon, I am sure they have to go to work tomorrow :-)

I believe it puts you somewhere down by the mouth of the Mississippi (New Orleans). Although I haven't got a good map measuring tool.

Has anyone found a program/site that lets you accurately measure horizontal/vertical distances? I was using google earth and it seems to not take into account the curvature of the earth (and it's hard to keep the line straight). Probably have Mappoint around here somewhere... if I can find the CD :p

Edit: I'd try Live Maps, but it usually crashes internet explorer.. lol

Just had another random thought... In the rabbit's trail puzzle, the solution was not at the end of the trail, but rather at one of the other points (halfway through or something). It could be the same for this one. Although there is an extra limitation that she can only direct us one of four directions... hmm :s

google earth seems to, or at least the line that the ruler draws follows the curvature of the earth...

If Tanli, China is the mystery spot, then the directions lead to Inari, Japan.

The problem is, they don't seem to (unless our interpretation of her glasses is wrong).

Tanli:

http://www.traveljournals.net/explore/chin...4025/tanli.html

Latitude: 29.8 N

Longitude: 117.45 E

Inari:

http://www.fallingrain.com/world/JA/6/Inari.html

Latitude: 35.8833 N

Longitude: 136.3500 E

For this to be possible, it would have to be telling us to go NE (up, right) instead of SE (down, right).

Edit: Added N & E to coordinates

I went off on a tangent. I used loki and changed it to Loci which is a focal point. Looking up the definition loci is the plural of locus, which is the place where dna is on a gene.

"A genetic locus is truly a miniscule existence - a position of a single gene amongst the thousands - yet its an essential contribution. We are all like that... each of us play a small role and yet without any one of us - the information is simply not complete.

Above all, the locus is a place and this - the V-locus - is my place..."

Kind of sounds like the video.

So i put in the four amino acids which make up DNA. Kind of off, but that's what I thought of.

Everyone seems to agree that Odessa is the "O" in L.O.K.I. However, I have to wonder why they gave us the coat of arms of "Odessa Oblast" (ie. the province) rather than just "Odessa" which has a less elaborate coat of arms (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odessa).

According to Wikipedia, Odessa Oblast is known by the single word Odeshchyna. Could that be the O name we're looking for?

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
