After the latest Portal game update, a mystery!

From this site: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?p=13760299

 

 

 

- 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:



quote:

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-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 (425) 822-5251. 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

 

 



Around the Network

O_o is this the only forum page on vgchartz that's talking about this?

XD I've been searching for answers for about an hour now, and my brain is starting to ooze through my ears.

Thanks for all the info raygun :D .



  

Morning Bump! Yes, it's very interesting. Why have an update to Portal with this mystery attached and in the game? Could it be portal 2 is coming out soon? Why else would they do this?



More pics



I want my damn cake!



Unicorns ARE real - They are just fat, grey and called Rhinos

Around the Network

People have been playing this for years and just finding out about this now?



@Snesboy: This was added in a recent update by Valve. It might be some kind of announcement... or something...

And it's disturbing me...

>_>

No wonder they haven't developed a PS3 game, they're too busy mind fucking their fans xD
