I hope Mysterious Boy stays dead, but the return of Mark Winningham would just rock.

Just to note, the dollup.html and 15554.gif hadn’t been mentioned as far as I’m aware, but they were missed from before as the date of upload according to server is 30-Jun-2008.

I’m still considering if Tigerboy is Mysterious Boy (he has a dark past, has to hide his identity or perhaps his scars, the same surname) or Mark.

Actually my theory goes darker, deeper and to the region of ‘just plain wrong’ the further I take it…so I’ll just leave it there, k?

Guise I would have to think it would be Mark, Mysterious Boy went crazy and only talked in non-sequiters which was great.

Chestnuts roasted by Rob @ 11/25/2008 5:20 PM


Ah, interesting idea, Guise, that Tigerboy is really Mysterious Boy, or Mark Winningham! We never learned his true identity, and only Knacks has seen his face.

Wonder if his identity will tie in with what is probably going to be some type of pirate/circus theme.

Whatever happens, all signs are pointing to Awesome.

lets start the “What the Heck is Arcano” betting! who want’s to put down that he’s someone in a Donnie Darko suit? I’ll be the fast talking bookie!

Chestnuts roasted by Andrew2H @ 11/25/2008 8:08 PM


choices are that Arcano is a giant crab, Godzilla, the Cloverfield monster, a giant clown, swamp thing…uh, I lost track.

Chestnuts roasted by Andrew2H @ 11/25/2008 8:15 PM


no one’s posting anything, so I’ll fill the blog with my insane ramblings!

December 23rd, 2008….

Me: all right, lets see who Arcano is! *clickty clickty clack*….hmm, nice ending battle, cool dialogue…wait, whats that?…oh. my gosh. omigosh. OMIGOSH. OMIGOSH! Arcano is a….?!?!? *sniper bullet*.

New picture is up on “batrib II”

Untitled 11

Chestnuts roasted by Gdrock33 @ 11/25/2008 11:17 PM


So, the batribII “directory” now has background music that plays once; it doesn’t loop. Don’t know what it means, other than “Matt is trying to scare the crap out of everyone within earshot of my laptop.”

Hey Box 23-ers! Can’t stay long, got lots o’ travelin’ tomorrow but I did get an e-mail from our buddy Hssxxlllo: I sent him a note asking if he needed any help and to stay safe. he responded simply with:

“I need anti-hack protection and a rifle.”

take that as you will, and I’ll be back to help after I trek all over creation for T-Day.

I just check the latest clue out. It’s a green picture of Hare and a bunch of zombie minions. Hare is DEFINITELY returning! Oh, i’m So excited I can hardly wait for this years Advent Calander! Bring on the bunnies! =)

Chestnuts roasted by ULTRAMAN @ 11/26/2008 3:05 AM


Ok, I’ve emailed the mp3 of the music file that’s played at batribII to Guise (he seems to be the central conduit and I actually wouldn’t know how to post it to a sharing site where we can all get to it..)

If anyone else would like a copy (to mess about iwth the audio settings and see what layer upon layer of audio goodness will reveal!) I could email it to them too, just let me know.

Chestnuts roasted by divechaz @ 11/26/2008 5:31 AM


The green Matrix-y picture of Hare and company coupled with the e-mail from Hssxxlllo that Ann got about needing “hack protection” leads me to an interesting speculation:

Does the door out of Hell lead through the internet somehow?

Chestnuts roasted by Rhino @ 11/26/2008 11:35 AM


Ooooo, interesting theory Rhino.

I forgot to report that, back on November 20, HU sent me this email:

” i’m alive and these days that is @s good @s any1 could hope 4, aye? ”

… that’s all for now.

Dang! I wish I had more time to play around with that totally creepy ‘music’ and the new “Untitled 11″ – keep up the good work, Advent-urers

Chestnuts roasted by Nizzler @ 11/26/2008 1:14 PM


HU used a lot of internet shorthand to respond to Nizzler’s email! Using the @’s and 4′s in place of letters and sentences is downright hackerish. I think this further supports the internet/hell connection!

Chestnuts roasted by Morfnblorsh @ 11/26/2008 1:29 PM


Gate to Hell to the Internet. Now that sounds crazy. Crazy enough to be a very likely possibility! If that is indeed where the gate in the pic may go, imagine how crazy that’s going to be; the internet is the the one conduit the XEAC characters have to us.
Meaning, we all have the possibility of being contacted. O_O That’s awesome.

On another note: Rob, Random Jim was the one who went insane. MB just wanted Mare poontang (and from the looks of things, who wouldn’t? So going to hell for that).

Well, anyone who doesn’t know, the bit at the end is thingy from the circus saying “The audience so close they are almost part of the show” and then shuffling cards(or not?)

Chestnuts roasted by Guise @ 11/26/2008 1:51 PM


hmm so that music has the “the audience is so close they are almost a part of the show” line and what appears to be the munching of carrots. I think somehow the advent calander this year will be interactive.

also the zombie on the left of the picture if you really look close you can see something in his eyes, its the only real color other then green in the picture.

also is it just me or does Hare seem to be holding some type of U object.

Chestnuts roasted by Rob @ 11/26/2008 1:53 PM


Dio you are correct even though I go back and re-read all the calanders every year I was wrong, I’ll turn in my adventuer-er card now, sniff sniff :_(

Chestnuts roasted by Rob @ 11/26/2008 1:55 PM


The “U” object is the door hinge, or part of it. I don’t see anything in the eyes of the zombie, I think it’s just the way the photoshop filter distorted it.

Chestnuts roasted by Morfnblorsh @ 11/26/2008 1:56 PM


No worries, Rob. ^^ I almost believed you too, but I was rereading earlier. Keep the card, we need all the help we can all get! Random Jim was fucking awesome post-insanity tho. I agree.

The clicking/shuffling/crunching reminds me of the clicking we heard in HU’s older soundbites. I guess we should have asked Matt about that stuff when he was forthcoming w/ behind the scenes stuff post christmas last year.

Chestnuts roasted by Dio and Lucas @ 11/26/2008 2:01 PM


I really think that sound at the end is someone eating a carrot
