[f8l_0e]

This is getting interesting. The person setting this thing up must be a fan of the LOST alternate reality games. Since it already had that kind of feel to it, I decided to check the gif files. The first contains nothing unusual, but the second one, 007.gif, has a 100ms frame in it with this address:

http://tinyurl.com/y8j54k8

The page redirects to the the time.html on TCBS. :eek:

[Trace]

Why is it posted by someone with 1 post count?

[Collinstheclown]

Because it's a TBCS related thing and one of the higher beings created a new account to make it more fun.

No new clue until second clue in gif 2 is figured out hint second fast frame + message =

[f8l_0e]

I'm having a tough time on this one.

The second 100ms frame says: 75.46.124.59

As ascii, it makes no sense.
As an IP address, it belongs to AT&T but it doesn't resolve to anything.

[f8l_0e]

Hmmm... the IP address from left to right points to a thermaltake site

http://59.124.46.75/

[pcclan]

wth is that the clue ?

[chaksq]

reverse engineering an IP as in write it backwards, which points us to the Thermaltake website. So I am thinking some sort of collaboration between Thermaltake and TBCS is going to happen. Thoughts are a merger, a contest, or a giveaway.

[f8l_0e]

The only other thing that I can think might be a clue is the 000000 in the directory structure. If it is a site overhaul, maybe it will be an all black theme. RGB hex 00 00 00 is black and the background color of the gifs.

[f8l_0e]

Thanks guys. I was trying to analyze the video but I hadn't been able to do it yet.

Lol my "analysis" was pause and paint 8)
people with nifty skills could prolly pull alot more from this, I hope there is a prize. I like thermaltake stuff...

The images from the video I think are from Thermaltake products, can't figure out what ones. Possibly new hardware?

Just a few min ago the timer page has counted down and now says "The time has come. The moment is now." But nothing else has seemed to happen.

Check the page source...

[pcclan]

hmm so does that mean that it is meant to be today at 8 ?
from reading the page source of the countdown timer it was set for the 31st not the 30th and it want off early

[Technochicken]

The timer finished on your computer? On mine it shows 15 hours and 34 minutes left.

[pcclan]

hmmm i see the code was modifed

[EspoNation]

the screen shots look like parts of a thermaltake spedo case. other than that i got nothing haha.

The time approaches (20minutes left)
