curious. Is it my duty to take the half hour journey and see what's up? (Though I've already missed that time.)

That time (when GMT) has already passed no? Though I saw Ned saying on twitter now it is "in 25 minutes"... ?

Ned, you are in on it sowing confusion, aren't you?

Actually I AM BoC. Thanks for playing!
I keep forgetting what the time zone shift is going to be these days.

Give him some time, he's on a train to London and will stream as soon as he can (not sure if serious btw)

it looks like the last numbers are hidden in the looped footage itself somehow, like one of the numbers was taken from code inside a GIF?

"There's sound inside. Can't hear it well at all. Callsign then numbers." - ah well forget that idea then

Anyway. Looks like we'll know all the numbers but still have no clue to what they mean.

I've had that UStream link open for 20 mins or so, then I hear this weird voice speaking in a foreign language for like 6 seconds. I'm scrambling through my tabs to see if I've got a page open with an ad on it (I hadn't) so I'm sure it came from the UStream link, now the channel is offline. I am spooked.

That link might be hinky, RT not opening at 12 as rumored.

xxpost : /yum is a standard feature on bandcamp, its mere presence doesn't mean BoC is using it.

At the moment. this whole Rough Trade London thing appears to have been set up just to confirm that the NPR code is to be placed first. I wonder if this part was planned all along.
― StanM, Saturday, 27 April 2013 04:33 (eleven years ago) link
Building and desert scene in the projection has been found (already, this internet sleuthing thing is quite something isn't it?)(when they don't point out the wrong bombing suspect)

I don't know, but I don't think it's significant in the search though.

Probably contains the final clue (if this is official, but it smells like it) - download and open in notepad ?

as much as I'm excited by a new BoC album and as much as I'm a sucker for a long-winded tease of a campaign, I can't get into this thing. I mean we already know this is coming out in June, so whats the point really.

i hope they can decipher the code before the ants begin building structures

How do we know the June date btw? I've seen a bunch of people referencing June 9, I wasn't sure if that was cos of the Hi Scores tune

Wyatt Abernathie @WyattAbernathie 1m@Clarknova1 I won't be able to sleep thanks to that music video. I guess you got my ratings. Well played, Mr. Nova.
Hmm...

intriguing - still with that Yermo gas station, but do they want someone to go find that building in the middle of the desert?

This could be the only one of the 5 clips that say something meaningful when played backwards - listen to clip at this link: http://www.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada/comments/1d9j38/we_believe_weve_found_the_last_code/

(there's still no clear idea what we're supposed to do with the numbers - are they a path that should work on some site somewhere? Are they to be put into a square/triangular/hexagonal number grid (then what?)? Do they decode to letters? I bet that says something like UNERDS or 6YR2GO for "6 years to go to our next release")

are those nines or ones in the reversed audio?
