    I really don't think it has anything to do with the numbers. I mean think about it. We can't even tell what they are. Most people don't have the software to zoom in and enhance the image. The possible combinations are almost limitless. I think it has to do with the text that appears during the video.

    Agreed

    Then again, all you need to do is right-click the video and zoom in to read the numbers. Hmmmm

    I changed my interpretation of the numbers...I had a few wrong

    12 54 52 74 99 81 04 00 12 35 79 35 75 12 80 45 56 72 64 29

    I THINK those are correct. I've added em up and tried a few things. Nothing

    Edit again:
    I see the number 35 repeats and is the only one that does so. However the first 35 looks like it could be a 39...I can't tell for sure.

    Edit: Oops 12 repeats too!

    Yup, I'm at a loss once again. Maybe this one has something to do with astronomy, what with the light posts on the street resembling some sort of constellation or something. But I know about as much about astronomy as I do about music...

    Hey guys, did anyone take a look at the pattern of flashing squares and dots at the beginning of the video next to the big "4"?

    I did, but I don't think it's anything. The series of squares kind of blends into one another (if that makes sense) and the video cuts to the main scene abruptly. Worth another look though maybe.

    One very small thing I noticed...the media usually says "Video" games are bad, not "computer" games. This made me wonder if we were dealing with musical notes again, as in maybe the first letter of every word in the last sentence was a note, But then "O" is not a musical note.

    However, the word "computer" was used deliberately I think...why, I do not know.

    Well :confused:

    Recapping what I think I know:

    * The intersection in the video maybe Howard St. and 4th st.
    (Moscone West)

    * There are numbers under the 4 for Trep 4 news

    * There are some strange sounds in the first 3 sec of video

    * There's questions in the video

    Now to get from that to an URL

    G'day Cadets!

    I've been following your progress, and your teamwork is just bonza!

    Lot's of rippa theories!!

    Here's my two cents...

    Think like a Trepidoid.

    Remember - Trepidoids love technology!

    So you may need some technology to solve this one. ;)

    I noticed the computer thing too, which is another reason why I think the answer has to do with the text. But I doubt they'd take the note route again. This is entirely new. Those 4 words... :confused: Maybe Peggle'll help me thing :p

    Well...if one word is spelled wrong and one word is not even a word...then it would seem that "computer games" are in fact rotting the brain....sort of. I did a google search and it brought up results on literacy rates?

    Could it be a phone number we need to call or fax?
    GPS coordinates?

    Shot in the dark here. Can somebody capture the sound from the first few seconds and play it slow.

    Those strange sounds have been bothering me, and my sound editing rig is down.:(

    If that's not it, the good Captain seems to think we need technology to solve this.

    Unless the trepidoid is going towards the technology in realspace, what else is up Howard Street?

    Aren't those sounds just an intro tune that most newscasts play?

    You may be up to something GreenLightJerky. In the video they mention "A Sci Fi fan on route to a conference"....
