MissingTeddyHanssen - Photoshopped?

There is a new post on MissingTeddyHannsen.blogspot.com:
They can forge documents easy, you know? Photoshop or whatever they use. I don't know. I don't believe it. He's still out there somewhere. I'd know it if he was gone. Screw that guy. Someone was just messing with me. That's all it is.

I may have another lead I'm checking in with tonight -- I'll keep you guys posted.
It seems Alyse doesn't believe the USGX photos. I guess this is quite over yet!

* Thanks to Sean J. who emailed me first!

  1. sounds like somebody needs a support group!

    or perhaps the black out parts actually reveal a lot more of what happened... and what we'll probably find out next thanks to her snooping!

  2. I wouldn't believe.. especially what is shown in rig_205.jpg, since it says it was taken with a "NIKON D100" on its Exif properties ->

  3. it just seems like perfect timing
    the day after dennis posts the real password, alyse finds a way in?
    makes me wonder if paramount is looking at this page on a daily basis

    ReplyDelete
  4. You really can't blame Alyse for her frustration (and denial). If anyone did have a loved one go missing,than receive such a runaround like she has.. I know I would probably respond in the same manner.

    Then again, Its not everyday that you are shown pictures of some weird monsters on the bottom of the ocean floor.

    What puzzles me though, is who is this other "lead"? could it be the Whistle Blower making a return?

    ReplyDelete
  5. sure.. this site would be a perfect way to track our progress in the "game".

    ReplyDelete
  6. to Bryce: yea i was thinking the same thing... so they can see if we are progressing so they can further the ARG....


    i am a little confused at something though.... so has Clover attacked in Alyse's time? i mean i assume so but like... why have none of the sites mentioned it? not tagruato or tido or even alyse mention the monster attack... does alyse even know what she is looking at in those pictures?

    ReplyDelete
  7. Of course they do check at what the fans have found so far.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I'm still waiting for another post!

    ReplyDelete
  9. Or...maybe Dennis secretly works for Paramount. :P

    ReplyDelete
  10. If they are looking at this page, it would explain why FindTeddyHanssen.com now leads here.

    Hmm... Alyse said she had another lead that she's going to check in with. What do you think it is?

    ReplyDelete
  11. I wouldn't believe Teddy was dead with that information either. Some random person saying some terrorists had died... no first-hand witness who actually saw Teddy killed. Teddy might not have even actually been there or the person in the convo might have been mistaken. Or it could all just be a massive corp. cover up to stop her from looking.

    You go Alyse!!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Have any of Alyse's posts acknowledged the events of the Cloverfield film? You would think she would be a little less cocksure about Teddy's survival given the destruction of his last known place of employment (the Tagruato platform) and his last known residence (Manhattan) were both destroyed by a giant monster, which, as far as I remember, she hasn't mentioned at all. These events were broadcast on worldwide TV news outlets (as shown in the viral marketing and the film itself when they passed TVs showing the monster on the news), so it's not like the government kept it secret. Why isn't she mentioning the monster attacks which were involved in his last known locations, and which make his survival unlikely?

    ReplyDelete
  13. Well, i'm pretty sure that the guys running the Viral marketing stuff have to read sites like this to find out how far along everyone is.

    ReplyDelete
  14. what better page to look at?!
    shes definetly referring to the transcript tho, i dont see how she could get anything out of the other 2 pics.
    that and she said "document"

    ReplyDelete
  15. But she says "I'll keep you guys posted", let's remember she has already allowed some comments from regular people before on her blog.

    Is possible someone outside paramount told her about the password.

    I guess that "you guys" refers to us and not to the original readers of her blog.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Hopefully she'll keep her promise and update us all.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Well, Alyse did say she needed help finding the password, I'm sure some folks E-mailed her the information, I know I did. And low and behold, the next day she's in.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Bryce, they are probably checking the activity on the sites that they make. Hence they would know if enough people "logged in".

    Potzer, no Cloverfield has not attacked in Alyse's time. It won't for a little more then a year. She is 5 and a half months removed from the Chuai station attack.

    ReplyDelete
  19. So she's referring to the transscript... Are there any photoshop-experts that have had it checked out?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Zaggs said... Cloverfield has not attacked in Alyse's time. It won't for a little more then a year. She is 5 and a half months removed from the Chuai station attack.

    There has been NO indication either way that the attack has or has not happened in Alyse's world. The government investigation could be solely regarding the Chuai station attack. However the MySpace characters had a surprise party on 1-18-08, so I think it is safe to assume that the attack has happened, even though it is not discussed.

    ReplyDelete
  21. As what was in topx's pic, I think these were fake. It says they were created by Photoshop. That would be too big a blunder for them to do that. It must be on purpose.

    ReplyDelete
  22. In the movie didnt the attack happen on the 23rd of this month or something like that? I mean doesnt Rob and Beth have there day at Connie Island soon? You know the little date on the bottom of the camera? Am I incorrect?

    ReplyDelete
  23. hey, sorry that this is way off-topic, but i was watching the movie today and i noticed that the oil tanker ship that capsized by the statue of liberty had the Tagruato logo on it, if you freeze frame that shot. has this been acknowledged before? (sorry if it has been)

    but ON-topic, i can't wait for alyse to post something else!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Dennis, but again why is Rob saying Saturday May 23rd when May 23rd doesn't fall on a Saturday in 08 but rather 09? Seems he really wanted to make a point of it so I would assume he put some thought into what date and day it was.
    Also there is no indication the NY attack hasn't happened in Alyse's world? I'd beg to differ. She's is or was looking for Jamie in March. She was also wondering if Jamie was looking for Teddy as well. Yet the fact a good portion of the city is bombed doesn't cross her mind to at least wonder if Jamie is dead? Or that the bombings result in being unable to search for Jamie? Seems kinda of odd, especially since if Jamie were dead Teddy might have been with her and also died in the bombing.
    The NY attack is in 09. The Chuai station attack is basically x-mas of 07 and the Magna sea battle should be in between (as in the DVD files Chuai is the alpha event with the magna being beta and NY charlie...amazing how the C attack coincides with cloverfield).

    ReplyDelete
  25. Look, Dennis cleared the date stuff up in the Password found comments part:
    'The attack happens on Jan 18 in the ARG, and May 23 in the movies. I think they are just on a different space-time continuum. Think of it like Fahrenheit and Celsius; the numbers don't match up, but they describe the same thing.'


    Everything in the movie/Chaiu etc has happened in the Clover-verse already, because they are a year and a half ahead of us. This is after the attack 9most likely) and can't you imagine the Governement covering up the attack - remember, only those in NYC saw the local news report on the monster, did anyone else know?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Master, no the government is not covering up something as large as the bombing of Manhattan. Not to mention you're idea of ONLY people in New York hearing cannot be. Because that would mean the station ONLY covered NYC and its broadcast never made it out of the city. The Fox station gets to at least southhampton, westchester, and yonkers according to cablevisions channel lineup. Also take the example of the Missouri earthquake on Monday, later on Monday it made it to national news sources. But an earthquake in new york city gets ignored?
    Can the government coverup what was behind the attack? Maybe, but doubtful as it went on the air. But it could not coverup all the destruction without killing every survivor and witness.
    So even without the monster Alyse never thinks "Gee I'm looking for Jamie, but maybe she was killed. perhaps I should look at a survivor list from the earthquake."?
    Also if the attack has happened ARG, why didn't Tag mention its lost tanker/Freighter? When a researcher dies they mention it.
    Also look at the first pic from the new website. Does the monster look as big as he does when he attacks NYC? Or would he need time to grow, say longer then 6 weeks? If the nectar's affect is very quick, shouldn't Jamie have grown?

    ReplyDelete
  27. The news of the attack on New York obviously made it out.

    in the subway Rob gets a call from his mother who, based on their conversation, does not live in New York.

    ReplyDelete
  28. To US-447, I saw that the other day too. I took screen shots and sent them to Dennis, but I don't know if he got them or if it was just old news. Here's a screen cap if you'd like to save yourself the time from taking one yourself:

  29. "Dennis" - No, the suprise party was not taken at 18 December 2008, it took place 22/23 May 2009. Come on!

    If you're i the "games" you should know that. Like "Zaggs" said, the attack in manhattan has not taken place either on her blog or the tidowave/tagruato sites.

    The attack on Manhattan/U.S took place 22/23 May 2009. Now that everyone knows that, the viral marketing for the sequel will continue for a long while.

    ReplyDelete
  30. This is some speculation (though the whole ARG pretty much is) but has anyone looked at teddyhanssen.blogspot.com? It seems to have the same sight layout as missingteddyhanssen.blogspot.com, though there's no content up (if only there was a way to check a blog page creation date)

    Maybe we should keep our eye on this?

    ReplyDelete
  31. All right, you monkeys, listen up. The attack has not happened in our time, not yet. Chuai happened, apparently on the 7th of December, or maybe a few days before and Teddy was reported missing on the 7th.

    Based on what I saw in the movie and my own findings, Rob and Beth's date at Coney Island takes place April 27th, 2009, and the monster attack takes place in the next month, may 23rd. I have based this on two things.

    1) Rob said that it was Saturday, May 23rd. May 23rd happens on Friday this year, but will be on Saturday in 09.

    2) Relationship physics. Rob says he's going to Japan, Beth asks him over to talk. Spur of the moment. Coney Island. Rob gets worried and stops talking to her. I rather doubt there was any more time than a month between Coney Island and the attack. It just seems ridiculous.

    Hey... now I think about it, the falling object at the end of the movie (the ChimpanzIII satellite, if our speculations are correct) might have awoken the monster after all. It gets bonked on the head something, then goes exploring underwater for about a month until it reaches Manhattan. That's when it surfaces, eats some folks, and looks for mommy.

    No, you come on! :)

    The 1-18-08.com site has pictures taken AT THE PARTY, dated 1-18-08. There are also pictures from the attack and FROM THE MOVIE, also dated 1-18-08. Unless there were TWO "we'll miss you Rob" parties, these SAME events happened on two seperate time lines!!

    The MySpace pages and Jamie's last video also verify this information. In the are, the party AND attack on 1-18-08.

    The only thing that is out of place is the movie. It's seems it would have been easy to change the movie dates to match the ARG, but then everyone would have cried "WTF, it is 62 degrees in January!?!?!?!" or "WTF, Coney Island isn't open during the winter!?!?!?!"

    FWIW, I haven't seen anyone official address why the dates are different. I think the ARG and the movie are just out-of sync. I don't like all these "Fahrenheit to Celsius" conversions to try to get the dates to match up. I think everyone is making TOO big a deal about it. They are just different. End of story.

  33. hey i just got to thinking
    what if the whistle blower is teddy hanssen?

    ReplyDelete
  34. You overclocked ape-brains listen here: There is NO alternate timeline! The only reasons any of this 1-18-08 stuff is going around is because 1) that was the date of the movie premiere and 2) They couldn't make MySpace change anything for them, and 3) They JUST GOT STARTED.

    There is NO alternate timeline. Some events mentioned in the games simply haven't happened yet.

    ReplyDelete
  35. You know,since we're talkin about time here,I noticed somethin on the movie that when it started,it was April 27 at 6:42 AM and yet at the end of the movie Rob says it's 6:42 AM on May 23rd.Ain't it weird?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Alright, I'm going to put my thoughts in here and maybe I can clear some stuff up, let's see.

    First off, there are a few things that lead people to believe everything happened on 1-18-08 before the movie came out. Not only does it say 1/18/2008 on the front of the pics on www.1-18-08.com but the back of a couple of pictures have the date Jan. 2008, so that would seem that it was in January. Next, the MySpaces for the characters talked about needing ice and such for Jan. 18th, not May 22nd.

    About the satellite, yes it fell in the water on April 27th, but I don't think it woke the monster up. The pictures on the new USGX site show the monster and the parasites and they are awake. They also supposedly took down the Chuai station, which happened on December 27th, so that would obviously be before the monster was "awoken" by the satellite. The only thing that may be true, is if this whole time thing is messed up the thing that Tagruato was looking for with the fake oil drilling station was the satellite that fell from the sky

    I don't know if that clears anything up, but I hope so...and I hope it makes sense, haha.

    ReplyDelete
  37. if we speculate that maybe the powers that be are watching this site to see how far folks progress, that would certainly explain why this site got das swordie ...

    ReplyDelete
  38. "2) Rob says he's going to Japan, Beth asks him over to talk. Spur of the moment. Coney Island. [...] I rather doubt there was any more time than a month between Coney Island and the attack. It just seems ridiculous."

    I seriously think you've misunderstood the movie. If Beth screwed Rob and then less than a month later is seriously dating some other guy, and then on top of that goes to Rob's going away party with this new guy, that doesn't exactly portray her in a positive light, when she is supposed to be sympathetic and likable. She would only show up at Rob's party with a new guy if a significant period of time had passed and her hook-up with Rob was old news that they were both supposed to be over.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I thought it was VERY obvious that the 1-18-08 site and MySpace pages along with the date on all the pictures was JUST to promote the release date. I see no reason to believe otherwise considering the viral marketing hasn't talked about the attack at all. The viral marketing hasn't caught up to the movie yet, that seems pretty simple and obvious in my opinion.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Everyone should listen to Dennis...Paramount or someone obviously wanted the movie out in January, so sacrifices had to be made and the dates on the ARG and in the movie had to be put out of sync - just as Dennis said. Just because there is now a break between peices of information doesn't mean we should instead spend our time arguing on problems that probably don't have much significance. If Dennis is wrong, then contradictions that directly state the years would and possibly will be put out in due time

    ReplyDelete
  41. Wolfgang, just to add one thing. The Chuai station is attacked on the 26th or 27th of december of 07. If you watch the station video (english version) there is a spot where a memo comes on screen, if you pause it or go real slowmo (pause blurred it on me) they say when the attack was. You also see the memo is written on the 2nd of Jan 08.
    Dennis, unless Rob is stoned out of his gord the party is on the 22nd of may 09 or at worst of 08. The pics on the 1-18 web site could just be to do with someone not setting the date on that camera (as its not the same video cam Hud is using).

    ReplyDelete
  42. My best guess by the tone of the post is that she has experienced him being in life threatening situations before.

    This being said, i think the only logical explanation is that she is a member of the 'terrorist ' organization.

    ReplyDelete
  43. dennis - It has nothing to with the celsius in my opinion. Like Wolfgang said in the previous text, in the film when they sort of .. arranging the suprise party, fixing with the apartment and when Hud takes the camera, It says 22 May .. that's PRETTY OBVIOUS that the suprise party happen that night. Correct?

    The only thing you're basing your facts on why the attack happend the 18 january is that the myspace-accounts stopped at the date and the 'party-pics" from the official page has the date 18 january.

    My opinion on that one is that they stopped carred for the myspace accounts when Cloverfield has premierad. And the dates on the partypics is just a "miss" from the persons who has the control of the viral-marketing.

    (Sorry for my english, hope you understand most of the parts .. :)

    and oh, it would really be nice to have the opinion of the creator of this site opinion on this MAJOR issue ..

    ReplyDelete
  44. Ooh, I got an idea! I won't be able to check my DVD for a bit, so it would be great if someone else could do this today.

    In the scene where Rob loots a cell-phone battery, and everybody watches the news videos in the convenience store...Does the news station show the date on the bottom of the screen? I think this would end the arguments once and for all if we could find a confirmed date inside the movie.

I think this would end the arguments once and for all if we could find a confirmed date inside the movie.

    In the end of the film, Rob says "Hi, my name is Rob Hawkins .. today 23 May Saturday someTHING attacked the city" something liked that. He said the day and the date .. and in the whole film you only see dates from May and April so it's really obvious that the attack happened 22/23 May 2009. (Chaui Station attack in december 2007). Correct.

    Now when that's clear .. the missingteddyhanssen site will probaly go on for a whole not mention the attack (Maybe, Maybe the attack happened 08 and she will mention in it in her blog.)

    Right!?

  46. Morrock, I bet you see a time, but not a date. Here's one pic. Where the date would be, no dice.

    Yes. I'm not disputing the movie's dates. The party took place on May 22 in the movie, BUT the party took place on Jan 18 in the ARG.

    What I was saying about Celsius conversion is that some people are trying to convert the ARG dates to match the movies, and back date everything, but I really don't think that is necessary, and involves too much math :)

    The only thing you're basing your facts on why the attack happend the 18 january is that the myspace-accounts stopped at the date and the 'party-pics" from the official page has the date 18 january.

    No, if you looked at the link I provided, all of the MySpace posts on Jan 18 refer to the surprise party.

    Technically, the only thing you are basing the movie dates on is the video camera's date (which could have been set wrong), and what Rob said at the end of the movie (right after he was knocked unconscious in a helicopter crash)

    My opinion on that one is that they stopped carred for the myspace accounts when Cloverfield has premierad. And the dates on the partypics is just a "miss" from the persons who has the control of the viral-marketing.

    Yes. This is also what I am saying. They stopped the MySpace accounts on Jan 18, because everyone died in the attack. In fact, they changed Hud's height to 2' 3" on Jan 18 because he was bitten in half by Clover.

    and oh, it would really be nice to have the opinion of the creator of this site opinion on this MAJOR issue ..

    IMO, it is NOT a major issue. It is only a problem when you try to infer something from the time gap, or assume the attack hasn't happened yet in the ARG (which I think is wrong).

    I think for the purposes of following the ARG, it is just easier to think of the movie happening on 1-18-08, and the ARG happened before the movie, and this new MissingTeddyHanssen stuff happened after.

    I think that pic is from the teaser trailer, not the actual movie. I think I remember checking the news footage in the movie, but not seeing any dates anywhere.

    BTW, Notice the 63 degree temperature? There was a lot of complaining about that when the first trailer came out, since that would be too warm for January, which is one on the reasons I think they changed the date in the movie.

    ReplyDelete
  49. What if they were forced to say that date on the tape by a goverment official (may date). maybe by the guy we see in the frames at the end of the movie. just a thought!Maybe the dates have been edited in as this is evidence found not the actual recording. It's the goverment copy. Like Alyse says "They can forge documents easy, you know? Photoshop or whatever they use. I don't know. I don't believe it. He's still out there somewhere. I'd know it if he was gone. Screw that guy. Someone was just messing with me. That's all it is"

    ReplyDelete
  50. Yah what's up with 6:42 in this movie? When it starts it's 6:42 am, when it switches over to Jason goig to the store, it's 6:42pm a month later, then with Rob's little confession to the camera it's 6:42 am again.

    ReplyDelete
  51. kingpin - hm, you got me there .. but still, why would Rob say "23 May Saturday" in the end .. Why?

    Can some reporter ask the question to J.J Abrams so we can have a define decision. It's all confusing to me .. and I believe It's a major issue (in the games).

    Just answer me one question.


    Just one.



    Are you at all involved with any of this?

    NO. But if Paramount wants to start sending me a check, I would definitely start working for them :)

    I am just a fan, like everyone else here. I don't have any inside knowledge. However, no one has been following this ARG/movie more closely than I have, so I think I have a pretty good read on the situation.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Maybe the whole pictures of the 1*18-08 site are from the sequel guys, maybe you are seeing there the pictures of the party when it came to main land, but the other pictures the ones with the army boats, night vision attack and the little (non explainable) fisher boat are from the sequel (is just a thought ok)

    why i say that? easy, you can see a small fisher boat (the one with the mr) because i dont beleive US or any other ARMY uses this small boats...ridiculous!

    you see attacks on ships (no prove they are US ARMY whatsoever)

    the other that i think are very ridiculous to be taken on sea shores and no one noticed it, like the one with the dead whales

    this happened or after the movie or before it (fits both)

    maybe this is what happened after the monster wasn´t killed on the movie (which no matter who says it, is not dead)

    maybe teddy in not missing but hidden...

    wide the sight buds! maybe there are more things here than we think..

    ReplyDelete
  55. For what it's worth, you CAN change blog dates on Myspace. I would imagine that anybody with a little HTML coding and/or programming know-how could also change the dates on comments - or, if they REALLY wanted to, could send a check to Myspace to have them do their bidding. What a great opportunity that would have been for Myspace, to get tied up in all of this with the film company.

    But it didn't happen - so my vote is that the January dates were indeed intentional.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Dennis,

    I am so sick of reading people's conjecture on the dating of the arg/movie... I know you're a busy man... but if you had the time, please create a timeline to shut all these people up!

    I have inspected, just as much as you have, the ARG and I am a 3.5 gpa student, so I think I'm pretty good at critical thinking. But my conjecture is never listened to... Please create a timeline... as I know that we both in the same boat with our ideas of the story.

    And I will argue to my death that Kishin is after the New York attack, not before...

  58. Henrik Bäckström said... which "guy" are you reffering to?

    I think he is referring to the person who finds Rob's video camera, in the alternate ending (which you can see at CloverfieldMovie.com)

    ReplyDelete
  59. Haha .. I'm just laughing at myself for finding out that Dennis is the man behind "cloverfieldclues", I'm so sorry man (.. I feel really dumb now.)

    .. and like "me" said, It would really be a good idea to create a timeline. Thanks for clearing the dates to me and all, Dennis.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Yeah, I forgot who else said it here, but I figured 01-18-08 had absolutely nothing to do with anything other than when the movie was released. If you take it out of the equation, it makes figuring a timeline a lot easier.
    As far as the Saturday, May 23rd thing ... well, it wouldn't be the first time there has been a mix up on a date like that. I saw a special on a movie where there was a slip up like that and the writer's admitted it was incidental, though I can't remember the movie off the top of me head. Either way, it seems a little pointless to argue dates ... it's all just theory anyway. A timeline would be nice, but I wouldn't set it in concrete just yet. I mean, it IS an alternate reality ...

    ReplyDelete
  61. Sorry for the double post, but I gotta ask something here ... this is an alternate reality, so I've always assumed it meant we were really just outsiders and unable to interact with the characters in it ... right? If I'm right, the "I'll keep you guys posted" could be a generic comment, or it could mean that Alyse is in direct contact with SOMEONE ... I mean, she didn't discuss in detail what she found on the site, or what was "photoshopped", or mention the site at all, so one can assume she is talking to someone who already knows what she is refering to ... I dunno, thinking out loud, probably not making any sense ...

    ReplyDelete
  62. ugh, sorry for sounding like such a noob, but what the hell is ARG? i've been trying to figure out what it meant for some time now.

    thanks in advance!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Hey, guys.

    I don't think Alyse would have said something along the lines of "I don't believe it" unless there was a specific reason (for us to believe he's actually alive, that is.)

    So TIDO attacks Chuai, and Clover goes nuts during the attack. Some people made it out, right? I find it hard to believe that -all- of the "eco-terrorists" died, especially considering the person is making sure to notify the "publicity officer" or whatever. They already had a coverup prepared it seems.

    Let's take a look at the MissingTeddyHannsen blog's poster. Specifically, the file name.

    Rearrange the letters and you get "Ganu Hid One".

    I think Ganu Yoshida has Teddy imprisoned/hostage.

    Why? I think we'll find out in the near future

    "Sorry for the double post, but I gotta ask something here ... this is an alternate reality, so I've always assumed it meant we were really just outsiders and unable to interact with the characters in it ... right? If I'm right, the "I'll keep you guys posted" could be a generic comment, or it could mean that Alyse is in direct contact with SOMEONE ... I mean, she didn't discuss in detail what she found on the site, or what was "photoshopped", or mention the site at all, so one can assume she is talking to someone who already knows what she is refering to ... I dunno, thinking out loud, probably not making any sense ..."

    Just because it's an "alternate reality" doesn't mean we can't intereact with the characters. It just means it has no relation to the real world. Alyse managed to find the site password after we found them, likely because it is posted on here, and because hundreds of people emailed her the info. I actually know someone who would chat with all of the characters on their myspace before the movie came out. (He was real sad when they died)

    By the way I forgot about how Rob Said "Today is May 23rd..."

  65. Jesse, ARG stands for Alternate Reality Game :)

  66. Those few of you who said/wondered if the Chaui station was looking for the fallen satellite, or that the satellite woke up Clover - the coordinates for the drilling station place it in the middle of the Atlantic, so it could not have been constructed to search for a satellite that fell within eyesight of the New York shoreline.

    Here are some ideas: I posit that the satellite (or contents of the satellite?) somehow drew Clover to New York. And, if the Tagruato emblem on the tanker is not just a coincidental easter egg, perhaps the tanker is not really a tanker at all, but was a camouflaged Tagruato vessel sent to the New York coast to recover the satellite. If the satellite did lure Clover to New York, perhaps it was on board the tanker at the time of Clover's arrival, and this is why Clover attacked the tanker itself in New York Harbor.

  67. Just as the people above said that they could change the dates on the MySpace if they tried, they are even MORE capable of editing out Rob's dialogue and changing the temp or HIDING the temp on the tv.

    If those dates are in there it is either a blunder (pretty damn big blunder given what they're dealing with here, its their relase date as well as this ARG). I think that the date is important, but hardly vital. I don't think it will make a difference, but I don't think it's a blunder either.

    I wouldn't believe.. especially what is shown in rig_205.jpg, since it says it was taken with a "NIKON D100" on its Exif properties ->

    http://xs227.xs.to/xs227/08192/rig_205_properties585.jpg

    This does seem a little weird as the properties also tell the time and date of the photo being taken(20th april 2008, 12:08). No other photo, that I can see, in the game has this info. Either the photo has been edited by photoshop (seen in the properties) or possibly someone took a photograph of a photograph. I think this is a clue as this is too much info for a photo but can't think what to do with it.

  69. Forgive me if this has been covered before, but I was just rewatching the Chaui station attack footage. Someone mentioned the "Ganu Hid One" anagram which sparked a little thought. Again, if this has been mentioned before, just let me know so I can begin *facepalm*ing ;)

    Specifically the footage inside the station that shows all of the people evacuating, the man with the gun looks as though he's looking for the person that's holding the video camera. Maybe that's not the best way to put it, but he does at least look directly at this person more than the others. Either he's upset that it's being filmed, or he was possibly looking for that person. (Maybe they were trying to find anyone from TIDO or the execs to keep them safe.) Is it quite possible that the person behind the camera is Teddy? I mean, it's all just speculation, but it might be something to think about. I personally don't believe Teddy is dead. I'm also wondering why Alyse hasn't updated us yet :-\

  70. Here's my opinion.

    The ARG is over now with the release of the USGX pics and that one document.

    And the purpose of that last MTH post was to just show how cynical people can be.

    I mean, this girl is looking for answers to what happened to her brother yet she doesn't want to believe hard evidence that's right in front of her.

    Cloverfield isn't a monster movie, it's more of a satire if anything.

    Like how "You tube'd" we've become.
    When we're more concerned about getting a video of the head of the statue of liberty on our cell phone than our own personal safety and well-being, we've definitely started sinking down.

    I may just sound like I'm ranting but that's my opinion of what's up now.

  71. Maybe the document is a death certifricate for teddy, it would make sense consiedering that it would be a document that pertains to teddy being "Gone".
