impressive didn;t know you could encode an image as sound

It can be done using a Mac if you've got a program called metasynth.

Aphex Twin has even put some hidden pictures on the of the music he's released. :cool:

hmm it would be a good explanation for it to be a fan tribute, however yesterday there was an update on the whats in the box status on youtube saying "open the box"- the same day valve made the update with the images etc in... also if it wasn't valve i would have though valve may have denied it, to stop them from misleading people into thinking it's a valve production.. but hey maybe not.,,,

Are you kidding. Valve claiming they had nothing to do with it would make people even more anxious

There's a missed business opportunity if I ever saw one. She could at least stick some ads up there and take advantage of the massively increased traffic

Not even God knows what progress they've made on Episode 3. This is just Valves way of making sure everyone is still paying attention, no surprises that we all are

Yup, they've certainly got my attention.
Bring on Ep3! (I hope so)

PhillyDee · 3 Mar 2010 at 19:15

Of course!
We all need to know how it goes with Frohman!

Oops, I mean Freeman . . .
