The clue looks like the picture "apartment03" in flicker, where the black dot is the purple ball and the smaller circle is circling the one picture and the 2nd circle is circling the other picture. So the solution was the pictures but what kind of pictures? I finally thought of the type of picture being related to Andy Warhol and from there I got "POPART". I did use the video to find it also, just used this picture as a reference. If figured the video was going to be part of this puzzle eventually. I was looking at the right area last night but couldn't quite make the clue fit. This morning/afternoon it dawned on me that I need to look at it from the other direction. And then the clue fit the picture. Then it took awhile coming up with picture synonyms that didn't work. It dawn on me that it might be the type of picture but I couldn't come up with anything. I asked my wife an daughter to look at it and they both agreed that the type of picture had a specific name. It just hit me that it seemed Andy Warholish...and a little googleing and research and finally it just jumped out what that type of picture is called.
I'm going to nominate da_shiz_wiz_19, I mentioned awhile back that I was going to do so. So I will make good on my promise.
Good job pajo! I had found five flicker images in the video: apartment01, apartment02, greenroom, exitgreenroom, and apartment03. I too was looking at the magenta orb as representing the black dot, but I hadn't put together the "pop art" reference. Congrats, man!
Ya I had actually watched the video when it was first posted and pulled out all those pictures also, didn't know if thats where the puzzle was headed. but tried to get a step up on it. I realize that the longer the puzzle goes on, at least to a certain point, the better chance I have of being able to solve it. Of course that works the other way also, spend to much time on it and I lose focus. I guess it takes my brain a day to assimilate the info and processes it to the point I can make effective guesses. When a puzzle first comes out, I just stare at it like I'm brain dead. Nothing usually comes to mind for a bit. Then I start thinking of the obvious. It isn't till awhile later that things start presenting themselves to me as ideas and then I usually get some brainstorming done. I also realize the point where I'm on the right track. Where things just make sense. Like I mentioned before, I, like you and probably others, was drawn to the fact that the black dot probably represented the purple ball. I just couldn't make use of that fact. I was staring at the picture from the tunnel, that seemed like it might match up. but I couldn't put the circles together to anything meaningful to get the answer. For some reason I decided to see, or I was just running thru the whole video again, how it looked from the other angle and it just clicked. I knew immediately/instinctively that was the right part of the solution and matched the clue exactly. Now it was to figure out what the needed answer about the pictures was. I tried everything I could think of to mean picture, art and so on. Then thought about what type or meaning of picture it was. And it wasn't to long after that I had the answer. So my request to all of you, is hold off solving until my brain engages btw jwcasser, I thought I had nominated you before but It appears I haven't, so your next on my list.
Rank update! CONGRATS pajo! That was amazing!!! Very impressive puzzle solving!!! Okay...

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!!
Okay, my idea: W stands for Word, L stans for Letter. WxLy represents the xth Word's yth Letter in the video. But I've missed something. Here are the lyrics: Turkey Blast Reloaded Choose a turkey add it to the mix choose a weapon some trees and a background too! Pick some music and start to play and you'll find yourself having a really great time! Don't forget about the bonus levels they're cool! Yeah! Really cool! Yeah! Yeeeeeeaaaaah!

Something missing before the end. W41L6 is not right, about has only 5 letters. Or just miscalculated something
I have to think about it. My theory is wrong at W41L6, 'about' has only 5 letters. Or just miscalculated something I had to count 'you'll' and such to 2 words to get as many words as possibly. We have to had 59 words at least. (sorry about the double post)
After some try I've got this: hlppyoverwoRseledhisaplancentoffunnybandawesomenessohyeah Tried to make is some sence, and got this: happy over worse led his a plan cent of funny band awesomeness oh yeah Any ideas? Am I on the right path?
I think you have to take some letter out. For example, from what you have I can extract "Hover World is a place of fun and awesomeness Oh yeah"
