[PS3Playa426]

EPIC WIN, my friend!

[twdarkflame]

@PS3Playa426 thanks :)

[THWThatMustHurt]

love it- escpecially the 'not the cube' bit, but you speak a bit slow

aesome animations!

[CharlieSpecs]

Nice.

[oOLtMcMuffinOo]

How was the menu bit made lol

that was really good

[twdarkflame]

thankks :P

It was all done in 3dsmax including the menu and took me ages.

Too bad perplexcity is dead now :( -sigh-

[dinoballz]

Gelf (Gelth) Doctor Who

JabberWocky: Better Off Ted.

Honestly, best joke in the clip...

[twdarkflame]

@dinoballz Actually Gelfs have been in a lot of sci-fis, including red dwarf and seaquest as well as Dr Who.

Geneticly Engineered Life Forms are just quite popular :)

[/scifi nerd]

[Aleniums]

make more of these plz

[CaptinAwesome13]

GOD THAT WAS DUMB

[gorgo333]

not a backwards message, you jerk!

[twdarkflame]

well, its kinda like "this statement is false" as it is a backwards message, but its a just a worthless one.

The real clue is a bit harder to get.

That said, its all pointless seeing as most of the rest of my chain of websites for this is down :(

[d4w35l3y]

Get the fuck out of here.

[beybladeboy]

you blow to much in to the mike

[LadeStudios]

Great, just thought it went a tad SLOW. Look at the Series and you will notice that the book speaks much faster. That goes for the editing aswell. But nice =D

[twdarkflame]

Yeah, your probably right. Thanks though.

[twdarkflame]

@LadeStudios Cheers :) Yes, my voice wasn't quite right and I should have been quicker. Glade you liked it though!

[PogoPedagogWannabe]

Found it, look in the middle @ 00:42 :D, now feed me Nobel prize!

[Erik113091]

Make up your mind, is it 100,000 or 200,000 pounds?

[trippywalnut]

that was $200,000 aka dollars

[Erik113091]

I can't even REMEMBER this... lol

[Bobzeaux]

VERY good animation, but the editing needs a bit of tweaking. Some parts dragged longer than others. I think the narration should have gone to someone else as well. It seemed that the Guide wasn't having a lot of fun talking about Perplex City. :P

[twdarkflame]

Thanks for your comments.

Yeah, Im not a very good voiceactor, my tone kinda changed half way too. Maybe if I knew Brian Blessed.

[Bobzeaux]

*LOL* I just noticed that you uploaded this on May 25th, forever dubbed Towel Day to commemorate Douglas Adams' death. Nice. :)

[kilterdude]

Today is towel day

[Bobzeaux]

It IS, isn't it? :D Happy Towel Day, everybody!

Ooh... I'm suddenly sad with the recollection that the Hitchhiker's Guide movie was released in EARLY May when it should have been LATE May... <:S

[Muhahahahaz]

Oh man, I am still working on it, but it is great. I was totally thinking there would be a puzzle when I first saw it too, lol. I probably would have found the first URL even if the description hadn't told me there was a puzzle. Good stuff!

[twdarkflame]

hehe :D

Well done..I do the same myself, often spotting things.

Its backfired a few times too...if you ever see a program called "The 4400" I as convienced for ages there was a scret message in the title sequence and spent ages working it out.

(There wasnt...at least...none that I found after a few days of trying :p)

[TraceTheory]

Bah, only 3 things to solve? Boring. Make it longer! (If you need help making it, contact me. I have done things like this before.)

[twdarkflame]

I applogies for YouTube, I wasnt aware of the quality of youtube before I posted...specificaly its inability to seak currently (fixed interval keyframes? Good grief).

As it was originaly for a perplexcity competition my time constrants sadly limited the amount of sections to the puzzles I could do.

I have since also put it on google video (http://video.google.com/video­play?docid=-531571587866158547­1), allthough it sounds like you have already made it to the end now ;)

[TraceTheory]

Heh, yeah. i am all done. BTW: Nice art. ;) I do some PS my self, but I never really liked the setup of that site.

[twdarkflame]

Thanks

Deviant? yeah..theres something not quite nice about the design. Still, free space. I use deviant, renderosity.com and recently google's new picasa site.

Googles one is nice because it gives you a stupid amount of space, but it has little features.

[TraceTheory]

Nevermind, I just got to the 3rd clue. These numbers are becoming annoying. Espically when it is on youtube and is hard to stop it at the right point in time. Could you send me the orginal video, or upload it somewhere else where they use a normal video player? :\

[djseal]

Nice Job Darkflame :D

Panadol from magicball 5/5

[twdarkflame]

cheers

[newlyfoundsoul]

w00t

I knew it

>> << >>

Now to decode that... code, all i know is part of it is in octal

[newlyfoundsoul]

You mean that long ass code in the corner? I knew part of it described a code corrisponding to the previous one but not all of it so I just wanted to make sure it was a cauincadance and that picture wasn't the end

[twdarkflame]

nope the picture isnt the end, but your close now.

Well done :)

[newlyfoundsoul]

O:

Is that picture it?

Or is the code something

[twdarkflame]

If your looking for the secrets I would direct your attention to suspiciously long typing sequence...only it might not be that simple ;)

[TraceTheory]

Too bad it's not. http://darkflame.co.uk/tradema­nstwit

[twdarkflame]

too easy ;)

Gota pay attention to the timecodes:)

[TraceTheory]

OK, yeah I got it.

Now, I have a question, are they all URLs? Like this:

Code 1: http://darkflame.co.uk/1/

Code 2: http://darkflame.co.uk/1/2/

Or

Code 1: http://darkflame.co.uk/1/

Code 2: http://darkflame.co.uk/2/

?

Or are they all not websites like mentioned in the video? :o

[partack1]

hrm. i don't get it..

[twdarkflame]

You made it to the final picture?

(/me goes to look at his web stats and sees 3 people have)

Well done!! :)

Yes, I guess I could add another step indeed.

I was really pushing against the deadline to get that final pic rendered though. (I should really render it in higher res thinking about it)

[piboy314159]

Wow, very neat! You could easily add another step...one with a less apt name.

[twdarkflame]

oh, incidently, any one giving me rateings Id love to hear negative comments, thanks :)

[MONNIW]

Nice backwards message. Ha ha.

[twdarkflame]

yeah ;)

The real secret quest is a little harder though.

[Blahhhhhhhhh]

you said the major religion is cubisim, does that mean they worship Picasso? Anyway very entertaining!

[twdarkflame]

:D :D

cheers.

[randomkevlar]

the mice say yeah

[twdarkflame]

hehe, thanks :D

[sherbsherbiesherbet]

hehehe! very well done, why didnt i think of that! :o)

[twdarkflame]

cheers!
