    Could it have anything to do with the blackbox transmissions that the captain posted earlier? o_O

    Possibly...good idea. Only thing strange in that are the exclamations..."Waaarg!" etc. Nothing really makes an impression on me though.

    Okay NOW I'm off to work....good luck, Humans, hahahahaaaaaa......!

    I'm also wondering WHY he has to "repeat" his message... is there more to the video?

    That is interesting. i did not notice that before.
    Quite possible there is more to the video. I have to stop watching though its melting my brain.

    Treps are so short. They look quite puntable.

    I've tried SPIRE, SPIRESPIRESPIRE, and SPIRESPIRESPIRESPIRESPIRESPIRE of course with the GG, but nothin.

    but,yes, there's something to repeating I think.

    Have we confirmed the coordinates are that of the spire?

    Yep. I googled the coordinates and the spire, and they're only a couple hundred feet away. The "H" is the spire apparently, even though there's no spire in the picture -.- The spire was constructed late 2008, so google maps doesn't show it =/ The actual coordinates in the video are near the top where the clearing ends.

    http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Presidio+spire&sll=37.797475,-122.463956&sspn=0.007969,0.019226&ie=UTF8&ll=37.791969,-122.45941&spn=0.000996,0.002403&t=h&z=19

    Aerial photography's never updated often. A hospital in my city is still shown with the new wing still under construction.

    So we've got the coordinates, the spire, maybe the black box transmissions...

    On a slightly related note, the game I'm working currently really isn't going anywhere, and I'm getting frustrated more than I am having fun making it. My blog hasn't been updated in over a week. So I was wondering... considering all the fun we've been having working on these puzzles, anyone up for making a game this style afterwards? Small contributions is all. Just a puzzle concept or something from each of you. It's more within my range as a drag-and-drop programmer :p

    Okay I'm back...took my work home with me because my work computer was stolen!

    The repeated "Repeat" is strange and probably is a clue.

    Someone mentioned the Spire not being part of the solution, but this IS the location in the video. He even says "Spire" in the video.

    So am I going to SF or what? Cap'n, do me a favor. If I'm NOT supposed to drive to the Spire, please let me know by PM, or here on the forum.

    Great but if I don't get an answer, does that mean I should go, or that he can't/won't answer? AAARGG!

    If it is there, who deserves the code? I've already won.
