Watch the Footage

The images on the video:

-Heavily pixellated, large static-maybe a QR code.
-A flash.
-Images of a candle.
-Some weird spore dot thing.
-Another image of a candle.
-A bridge.
-Several screens showing brain scans. (Thanks for the info, Jack.)
-Spore dot thing again.
-Whatever the hell this thing is:

-A close up of that.
-More blocky static.

And the user's name is "STOPTHECLOCK". Maybe the candles burning imply that we don't have much time?

It's not. Or if it is, it'd be a bitch to scan; it doesn't nearly have the resolution for it.

Might be important to note, those aren't pictures of skulls. Those are brain scans, possibly from an MRI.

In case the QR is needed:

Uh, I'm not going to replicate that code.

Well, aside from that I can't really think of much, there is text on some of the frames, but I don't think we can't read all of it, even with frame freezing.
Aside from that, I can only note that the video's upload is consistent with the last coherent tweet

Dammit guys, I was just getting to the analysis. -_-
So. Here are the screencaps I found important. Candles are not there, because, well, they are just candles.

Pyro beat me to building the list, so I'll include the stuff he didn't mention.

1. The blocks may or may not be binary code. I'll check that later, no time for that right now, and it's relatively far-fetched.
2. I presume the blurry text is the forum's login screen.
3. A logo is imposed over the login screen, too. I assume the title below it is "NEW". Maybe it's a demotivator, too. I read it as "NERV" first, hoping for an awesome crossover. >_>

Also, not included are, as I said, pictures of candles and the glowy sphere, which I believe is the representation of Matrx.

About the candles. They are pretty unremarkable, there are 3 of them, 2 of which appear on the same screen (the lonely one goes first). They are accompanied by the "whoosh" sound effect - it even sounds twice for the two candles. BUT it is encountered in other places, too. I don't think it's important in any way.

Finally, it's totally like Totheark, including the part where it makes no sense.

I'll try taking screenshots of each of the images in the video when I have the chance.

Also, I subscribed and liked the video, so I can check on him.

Its not a QR Code (Traditionally at least). Aside trying it myself I think there is literally not enough information for it to be a QR code. If it is a QR code, I have no idea how it would be solved based on the information we are presented with.

It's not QR-code, there are no distinctive squares in the corners.
Pyro, I made the screencaps already, don't bother.

OK, thanks!

Full reset of Reality Manipulation and Parafine enabler device codename 'Matrx' now beginning.

I hadn't read through the thread, but the CANDLESONLY makes a bit more sense now I guess?

Matrx's report on the reset progress.

Matrx wrote:Hard reset code needed. Security measure: error. Programmed in by: error. System Hint: Follow the sound.
Response: I knew it-

Oh, and Blur told him the CANDLESONLY thingy, so he'll probably respond anytime now.

(And I have converted the first block series into binary... seems like a waste of time now. )
Also, I'll be unavailable for the next lots of hours, so I'm about to miss everything.

Well... that is assuming that's the password and not another hint

Sorry. Anyway I should be going to sleep soon Will somebody please recap this until I arrive home 18 hours later?

Another option is that CANDLESONLY is pointing us at the sound made during the candle sequences. Not sure how that would work (especially since, as Dryu noted, it sounds off in spots other than the candle spots), but it is an option.

Perhaps somebody should try slowing down the video and listening to it?

I'll try that.

CANDLESONLY is not the password. Well, damn. I'm going to sleep

Blurred_9L wrote:CANDLESONLY is not the password. Well, damn. I'm going to sleep

Goodnight, going to try slowing down as soon as I get home.

We can keep looking at specific sections. I'm pretty sure that the command is prompted by "I knew it-"

I tried that but couldn't hear anything discernible.

EDIT: There is a twitter handle @candlesonly, but it's completely empty and I hardly think it would be the right choice to query our chances, (taking into account what happened during the arg). So yeah, I'm out of ideas for now (not that I had many anyway).

You hear what you heard and now you must read what is written. The pen is no longer

Translation: GM is going to sleep. =]

Googling the last sentence proved that Google is just as immature as I am.
It did return an article titled "The pen's no longer mightier but still important". I give you 99% that it's irrelevant - I just needed to finish the phrase.

UPD: Just like the weird tweets, CANDLESONLY has 11 characters. Just saying.

Perhaps...the pen is no longer mightier than the sword?

Ohhhh why is it ALWAYS when I'm ASLEEP?

So maybe it's NOT twitter, maybe it's a code to something else. Or hell, maybeit's NOT a password, we keep assuming passwords. Ha anybody tried other websites?

I know that feeling.

And man was that video creepy as hell. Whoever this guy is, he's definitely putting in a lot of effort, I wonder what the hell the payoff will be.

It looks like it's breaking up... like the video is damaged, somehow. Which would make sense given what we know about this guys technology...

Oh btw guys I checked: Candles is not a website in itself.
