Thanks so much for the update.  I am totally lost, but at least this helps me to understand what we're doing/trying to do.  I hope we can figure this all out.

The ORANGE Box Rocks and so do we.

I removed the spaces, added the dots, but I only get four of the pictures. I went to check my loot and I see mac dust, is that the loot? If not, what's wrong?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found the solution in another post.

This was the most helpful post so far! Thanks russell

If a man speaks his mind in a forest and no woman hears it, is he still wrong?

get all 9 images into photoshop, its a jigsaw, but them in the right order, perhaps rotate some, then left to right and downwards as you would read note the filenames as one long string of hex. decode that

The image is a 1024x1024x24 TGA image. I opened it in IrfanView. What are we supposed to do with this?

this is a bit mystifying?

I've worked on the eisoptrotriskaidekaphobia enigma and found the order of the dies.

It's 3-2-5-1-9-6-7

About the tangledupinlies enigma, we need 18 notes to make a melody.

Thanks Russel, but as asked above, how did you come up with all these 9 URLs?

Hmm? Color code? Gaussian blurred it in photoshop.

Found a .tga file that is 1024 x 1024

I'm finally starting to catch on!!!

If you aren't using Dropbox yet and want to get it free using my referral...I'd be very grateful.

I don´t understand nothing of the game jajaja
The first is that I don´t know what I have to do xD

leads to a picture 3ad47fe00e6ac913b356bcb432ee1b7c.tga
And i am lost... ;(

trying to think what to do here, new agent ;D

I found swords of the television generation by completing the maze. (The grass is upstairs, the second image is underground.) i have no idea what to do now thought...

Found the .tga image. Has anyone tried loading it as a mod file is an app that uses .tga as wallpaper or map files?

the name of the .tga file looks like some sort of hex code, maybe colors?

I'm confused.

messing around with the colors in that image.

Looks like blood, when you turn green and blue to 0 and red to 200.

Also looks liketheres a smiley face in the corner. LOl

Well, I guess anyone who is deaf is right out of luck.

And here I was thinking I was clever before reading all these posts...

Figured out Swords of the Television Generation

Went to the website

Got the image

It's not a magic eye thing, and my guess is that the next clue is in the filename somewhere, but I haven't the time right now to try solving it...

One theory I want to try out is substituting the numbers out for letters that look similar to the letters (e.g. replace 1 with I, etc.). Doing this give you another nonsensical string of characters, but I think there might be a message in there, perhaps in the form of text message shorthand or something.

completed  it all

decoding... 29 days... *sigh*

How did the guys that got all the 9 images without cheating, get them?! I only got the first one by going to the maze, then to swordsetc.com and adding the tga-image to my Mainframe...

Another idea is that they want us to download the free version of the truvision software in order to figure this out. If so, that's pretty lame. I don't want to weigh my HD down with unnecessary 3d software...

Hey just wanted to say hi, and thanks for giving us the opportunity to rack our brains and get some goodies.

stuff is good.

lost in the fractal

I don't know where to begin.  This is my first mission

I have the same problem jeje

The TGA is pretty... I wonder if the cut-out image the Mainframe shows is important?
If you look careful-like, the piece that Mainframe shows is around the lower-center of the TGA, the part with the two connected bubbles, and a third that seems to have split off to the left.

Looks kinda like a peanut and... dunno, a bubbly thing.
But then the clipped image also has that weird flare at the top left corner....

Heh, I am kind of clueless. My friend thinks he has figured it out, his user name is comspy. He used some kind of code Cracker for this, and he somehow made it work O.o, I am speechless too. On the last note, this is a great puzzle that I would love to enjoy to solve is there were any real clues

Clueless ....

This is the thing I do – http://www.supraelastic.eu
From time to time I enjoy good conversation between the books.

the tga file looks alot like the iPod app "Mood Touch" picture in the app store. Could there be a connection?

So how will we get "Process" for free?

Go to the loot bin at the top of the page.

Hey, could somebody who has finished shre with some clues or something?

I'm not finished with the whole heist yet... but the object is to go thru all the puzzles and collect the .tga images. They are then used as keys to unlock the master combination lock to open up all the free goodies.

Once you have the image, go on to the next part of the search. Don't get too caught up in making the puzzles harder than what they are.

3 pieces I have so far.

Good luck to you and everyone else who tuffs it out and gets the images !

Oh... and Sophia... you're too cute to be a spy. Meet me at this little coffee shop I know of in Istanbul... and I will take you away from all this cloak and dagger sneaking around. I will take you sailing on the Black Sea and we will eat caviar and drink fine Russian champagne. What do you say?

Ciao !

Yeah, but I'm stuck this TGA picture which was hidden in remote and this eye picture (which i actually did not find, but somebody gave it out here)... and it all seem to make no sense

Like I said... gather all the images together first.

There are 9 of them to find.

Don't worry about anything more than finding the 9 images right now, at this moment. Once you find an image, that particular part of the heist is solved. Go on to the next.

There are 9 images to find

Once you get the images together, they are used to open a lock.

Find all 9 images first.

I don't know how much more clear I can be.

How about this gangstar...

follow this link and take the images you already have and use them on the mainframe page that Sophia mentions...

http://www.macheist.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=9207

Do not use the "eye" picture, just use the one that looks like a paint spill.

OK... one more hint. Make sure to take the URL down for the images' location. The location is the key.
