    End of everything ... Start of something new -- a new world? a new existence?

    Or a prophecy by a faulty robot that some omnipotent being is coming into existence, which will eventually spell the end of everything. Hahaha.

    Hellooooo?

    ......

    Anyone?

    Come on - it can't be that hard a puzzle to solve! :rolleyes:

    We had some real doozies back in the Galactic Gunner Treasure Hunt Days! :cool:

    I don't know what the answer is, but my guess is that it won't necessarily be an actual word - if you look back in this thread not all answers were words or numbers that make sense on their own... Blimey sometimes they don't make sense until further into the contest.

    I suggest you watch the video again. You might be missing something...

    For starters - look to the obvious. ;)

    Well, that's enough from me - I've got to go kick some trepidoid butt!

    Rippa! Bonza!

    aah, yaa...a little too much pizza last nite huh?!? But I haven't gotten anything so okay run with it.

    I've tried a few more words.

    I tried coming up with a palindromes NEED THE VERY THIN FOG, nothing, then THE END OF EVERY NIGHT and what it might refer to DAWN, MORNING.

    I thought maybe THE END OF EVERYTHING is the end of the universe and thought what about UNIVERSALSTUDIOS (a film studio) as a place he might be.

    I'm actually starting to worry about poor garbot1.

    So, here's what I got out of this:

    1. It's not necessarily a full word, it could be fragments.

    2. We're missing something

    3. "for starters"...hmmm maybe it's a hint to look at something in the beginning of the video? I'll relook at the video as soon as I finish typing this post out.

    EDIT: At the starting it says "Starting up". Contrasts well with "The end of everything" so I think this may be a clue.

    EDIT: I got it!
    1. Password: AMONSTER_MEM_RECOVER_22

    2. I used the starting of up, the letter U. Then the ending of everything, the letter G. From that one guy's riddle. iphone.ezone.com/UG

    3. I want to give the points to Staulcub. His post about to riddle with the letters pretty much helped me understand the "starting up" business.

    Congrats da shiz wiz 19! Your first puzzle solved!!

    ...

    I'm kinda embarrassed... :eek:

    It wasn't a monster in the video at all... :eek:

    I accidentally had my video lens set to SUPER MACRO! :rolleyes:

    What we were seeing was a dust mite on the lens! :D

    I panicked!

    I thought I was being attacked...

    I thought it was the end of everything...

    And I went into emergency shut-down...

    ...


    ... basically, I fainted :eek:

    Plus, my subconscious mind accessed the encrypted data packet with the answer UG!

    UGH! More like it... that dust-mite was disgusting!

    ... still... I wonder if UG is a clue as to where I am?

    UnderGround? Uruguay?

    Hmm... More to ponder...

    I'll try to access my optical video link again...

    Stay Tuned!

    And thanks again for solving that one... I might have been in permanent shut-down mode otherwise!

    Rank update!

    Okay... just for fun, I processed all of the data and posts on this thread to see where everyone stands (rank-wise) in the running for the Grand Prize...

    So far (taking into account who has solved the most, who has helped the most, who has tried the hardest, who has the best manners, who has accumulated the most eligibility points, who has been given the most eligibility points, who has really tried, who has dropped the most hints, who has given it their all despite chasing red herrings and going off on wild goose chases, who has finally understood the hints, who has used both sides of their brain to the fullest, who has stepped in at the last second to solve the puzzle, who has taken the wildest guesses, who has come up with the most amazing deciphering ideas, who has blown the most gaskets, who has lost the most sleep, who has shown the most devotion to decipheringÂ…etc) this is the updated top 10 list of names of who currently has the best chance of winning the grand prize of a Parrot AR. Drone (a cool hover toy!!!)

    7. Daldaris
    8. da shiz wiz 19
    9. KoOne23
    10. speed4mee


    Note: This list may change depending on how the rest of the contest continues... As you can see (if you look through this thread)... we've had quite a shuffle of names as we've progressed through this contest! So you never know! You've got to be in it for a chance at the Grand Prize! So get in there!

    If your name hasn't made the list - you need to try harder (you may just be in position 11)!

    Extra note: You don't need to actually solve the puzzles in order to be eligible... you may earn eligibility by just being helpful in the thread!

    Good luck everyone!

    Be on the look out for more puzzles!!

    This dark room is really getting me down... :(

    Why was I sealed in here? :confused:

    Is this a garbage room...? :confused:

    Was I thrown in here to rot...? :eek:

    A robot is designed with a purpose... :(

    What is my purpose? :confused:

    My name suggests that I am a garbage robot? :(

    Maybe that should be robot garbage.:(

    I'm feeling really undervalued...:(

    I've got to get out of this room.:mad:

    Hopefully I can reactivate my optical video link and you guys can help me!:D

    Stay Tuned!:cool:

    A few things going on here.

    The light in the lower right flashes 2x, 4x, 6x, 8x
    The letters of garbot1 appear in the order o,g,t,1,r,a,b
    Does LOW LIGHT mean something.

    And perhaps the four ???? means it is 4 digits/letters. or maybe 4 words.

    hmm...

    I wonder if the various sounds -- beeps and whatnot -- mean anything.

    I can't help but think that LOW LIGHT has something to do with FLASH
