This will be long, so hopefully you can walk away with at least something by the end. I have some entertaining info, and I have perhaps some info that could help us. first. last night I thought I hit the big one. As of late I have been on a Norwegian/Icelandic/latin kick, thinking that perhaps to decode what we have is a combination of languages for “the pizza is a lie” and “benalohpaillier”. Also being pointed out that the terminal message only has DORN as letters that stand out. Running some language identifying software, interestingly enough, “benalohpaillier” popped up as Norwegian. So I started trying everthing in old Icelandic and Norwegian. The pizza is a lie returned some odd letters, but the last word standing out, spelling LOGN. login? also, spelling pizza in old runes, it looks like it could be translated to THIEF. however nothing was accomplished with this so far.
I started going through all the sites we know if trying to login with various names, halos, benalohpaillier etc. then thinking, if the “pizza” was a Logn. So I put it into the context from what we say with the lie. “they stole the lie” they stole the login? anyhow, hitting the sites, I also used, congratulationsyouwonthepizza as a login as well.
now I give you a moment of hilarity. I went to stormseeker.com/congratulationsyouwonthepizza. ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT SAYS “CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE PUBLISHED YOUR SITE” refresh a couple of times and you will see the site you just activated. I SQUEELED. I had done it, I had hit the jack pot. after about 5 minutes or so, the actual site came online, revealing its secrets to me… the secret was, it kicked me in the nuts and I about fell off my chair. here are the pictures I took from when it happnened. This couldn’t be right… no…it just couldn’t, what a horrible joke for storm to pull. The quickly going over what this could possibly mean, I noticed, I had not put the “THE” in the URL. oooooooh how funny the world can be, and seriously, WHAT ARE THE FRIGGIN CHANCES OF THIS. anyhow, I cried on the inside.
Now, for something potentially useful. I play all of the valve games pretty regularly. I have gone though every website I can find, through the way back machine and looking at all the sites we know of at different time periods, ive gathered quite a lot of jpgs and information that I am still sifting through. Right, now, playing all the valve games. In one of the games, I found some graffiti on the wall, of course in all games, but this one stood out. It was of oranges and lemons. This made me raise an eyebrow, just the day before I had posted a theory on the puzzle somehow being related to 1984, or “nineteen eighty-four” however… Oranges and lemons is an old nursery rhyme that is brought up a few times in the book. The meaning of it, being that nobody could quite remember the right lyrics, showing how even the simplest things could be forgotten under the rule of big brother. So, going through what I could with Oranges and lemons, I went to a wiki page, which had just been edited 2 days prior, with a very very interesting find. I had brought up bells before, and there are many a bell in the rhyme here. I will post the lyrics below. The link on the page that I found though, for “Ye” brought me back to Icelandic language. Remember dorn? check this out… the symbol looks like a “p” this is where I got the runes to spell out a world similar to thief. anyhow, its based off a rune, for THORN or THOR, also known as DORN. there have been a few things that has linked to Nordic stuff. again, none of this has led anywhere, why would this potentially mean anything? having benalohpaillier pop up as Norwegian through a translator. thought it was worth mentioning. Then again, I also believe that all the valve games are linked together and that there is information in all of them combined that will lead to the furthering of the Gordon freeman story. Going off this reminded me of some other things.
The article about the helicopter crash found on a monitor (also, some odd screensavers have just been released via workshop regarding bmrf, possibly novelty, but odd timing if you ask me." Helicopters is something I know a lot of about. 1 person died as a result of the crash initially, 2 more within a months time. Couldn’t find anything of relevance, such an odd thing to be in game, especially since it happened in October of 2011. There were some ages and names in the article, but nothing I could really think of that would help. Was the article a timestamp of sorts to put into the game? Also goes to my theory about alternate timelines. The helicrash though. Episode 2, was ending with Gordon and alyx heading to kraken base/borealis via helicopter heading to Northern Europe, that supposedly crashes. I have been going through tail numbers and model types for a bit, nothing really found here either. Thinking that maybe the numbers have something to do with it. Also, the numbers of the Tv shows mentioned throughout the game, multiple episodes. One thing I think that has been over looked here is the actual Season number and episode number. for instance 43 for star trek tng or bugs, season2 episode 9 and 10. Theres a few other tv show references, what if what was supposed to be taken from these shows is the actual NUMBERS. also worth a mention because it has been brought up so many times before. The security number that data calls off in picards voice, I believe that the number he says is actually a digit off from the one that is on the actual screen in the episode.
