- Game updated, Radio achievement added.

- People find out that bringing the radios in-game to different spots in each map give soundclips

- Digging through the GCFs reveals that there are 26 sounds in all.

- Four are morse code:

1-Dinosaur 1

INTERIOR TRANSMISSION ACTIVE

EXTERNAL DATA LINE ACTIVE (Presumably the telnet number)

MESSAGE DIGEST ACTIVE


2-Dinosaur 5

9-E-J-0-7-D-3-7-2-B-B-6-8-2-6-B-D-8-1-D-3-5-4-2-A-4-1-9-D-6

(Which sanitysama says is "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog")


3-Dinosaur 12

SYSTEM DATA DUMP ACTIVE

USER BACKUP ACTIVE

PASSWORD BACKUP ACTIVE

4-Dinosaur 17

B-E-E-P

B-E-E-E-E-P

B-E-E-P

B-E-E-E-E-P

B-E-E-E-E-P

B-E-E-E-E-P

And if you turn all those Beeps into individual morse code it spells LOL.

- The other 22 are all images after decoding with SSTV software. Click for a Steam Forums thread with all of them.

- Some of the images clue letters/numbers; each has a number out of 32 in the bottom right of it. Putting these together leads to an md5 hash of a BBS number. Figuring out the login is what we're currently stuck on.

So, let's get to it.

EDIT 1: The telnet number is [phone]. I cannot stress this enough:
DO NOT DIAL THIS NUMBER FROM A STANDARD PHONE.
IT IS A CONFIRMED BBS NUMBER AND YOU WILL DO NOTHING BUT CLOG THE NUMBER UP AND ♥♥♥♥ WITH THE MAXIMUM CONNECTIONS.

Looks like a picture of Glados to me....very interesting
