/!\WARNING/!\
THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS SCARY STUFF AND POSSIBLE SCREAMERS! DO NOT CONTINUE ANY FURTHER IF YOU ARE TOO AFRAID
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
This may be a part of an ARG (alternate reality game), like how Valve had an ARG for Portal 2, but i don't think this is by Valve, i think it's something for another game, but anyway
This is scary, really, there is this Youtube profile called 'foundonthetape'
[link], the user's videos contain an old VCR tape being played and showing various footage with a bad quality camera while various scenes with scary stuff flashed in between, one of them looked like a
disembodied head that was all bloody and laying at the edge of a stairIn the comments, someone said
Because the numbers in the middle of the video "74696E7975726C2E636F6D2F4256552D38303074696E7975726C2E636F6D2F4256552D383030" converted to ASCII link to a HL2 EP2 map.
After some messing around with conversion sites, i found the Megaupload download link that i heard people talking about that contains a Source Engine map file called foundonthetape_1.bsp with the description "ep2", i totally expected something scary, but what i experienced wasn't that bad, i open up HL2: Ep 2, load up the map, you start out in this small room with a grayscale effect
Due to the player's view being taken control by a camera, and the player having no player model, i was unable to see where i was, so i went into thirdperson to see the 'player.mdl' model that was a low poly player model that's never seen without the use of console commands, after i seen where i was, i went into the door, hoping it wouldn't be a screamer or anything really scary
It was technically a SCREAMER, the image wasn't scary, it was a bad quality blurred image,
but there was this NOISE OF WHICH I DIDN'T KNOW THE VOLUME OF because i lowered my volume expecting something, fret not, it's not screaming or any gory sounds, actually, i don't even know what it was, like i said, i had my sound lowered
So what could this be? What could it mean? I tried exploring further, but i jumped from the sight of that picture showing up out of nowhere, so even with thirdperson, i couldn't see where i was because the image took over the whole screen, so not knowing where i was or what i could do, i just console killed myself to see if the image was still there once i restarted back in the room, no, it was gone, i didn't dare go back into that door though
