Yeah, and it didn't mean much to me.

Your video is useless without either captions or a transcript.  Some of us are Deaf.  Don't assume we'll just read your lips.  Please?

Beginning at the only starting point of the green maze, going down into the brown maze, and out.... I get "SWORDS OF THE TELEVISION GENERATION" too.

I think that is correct. We are stuck on the TGA it seems...the maze doesn't really help us at this point anymore.

Still messing with photoshop and stuff at this point.

People, if you've gotten the same result as someone else in the maze/with the TGA file, you don't need to tell us!

i second that. using FireFox, the "maze" does nothing for me except flip flop. there's no interactivity...is there supposed to be?

The TGA over makes the bottom right corner HOT and the upper left COLD. So if you were playing the "you're getting warmer" game, that would apply.

Well, I haven't really found anything new, but I overlayed the two maps/mazes, if that has any use! http : // twitpic.com / 109rv , I'll keep loking for any relevance between the pics, maybe the file name for the picture has some relevance to the image itself, is it meant to be decoded? I'll see if I can find anything more...

Follow the maze from entry on first level to exit on second and see that it spells:

swords of the television generation

go to swordsofthetelevisiongeneration.com

click on the remote... get the tga.

that's where I am and it seems others are too.

Thanks, however I already had, it only provided an image, which even overlaying on the mazes provides nothing special, so I am stuck too!

The filename of the image looks like a bunch of HEX codes put together, or a WEP key.  I split up the codes into 6-digit chunks and got three colors, but it leaves 2 letters at the end.  It's meaningless I'm sure, but the colors are seafoam green, magenta, then fuschia.

I've tried overlaying, rotating the image in 4 ways and then overlaying in successively higher opacities, using red/green like a 3d message, and looking at the colors inverted to see if a pattern emerges.

No luck, thus far.

the tga file is a kind of image file:

http: // en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truevision_TGA"

"Truevision's (now AVID) TGA File Format, often referred to as TARGA File Format, is a raster graphics file format. It was the native format of Truevision Inc.'s TARGA and VISTA boards, which were the first graphic cards for IBM-compatible PCs to support Highcolor/truecolor display. This family of graphic cards was intended for professional computer image synthesis and video editing with PCs; for this reason, usual resolutions of TGA image files match those of the NTSC and PAL video formats."

it is another graphics format like .gif or .jpg, but old and rarely used

Maybe someone could open the image using a batch editor or whatever it's called, to se it in text format, I think that's possible.

I just played around with the levels and got this:

just add dots.

Don't know what to do with it tough.

Perhaps it is one of those stereoscopic images, where you need to look at 2 copies of the image at once and do the magic eye trick to see it?

:EDIT:
No go, nothing really stuck out.
Has anyone noticed the odd 'layering' at the top of the image?

Sometimes it's best just to not say anything
