they don't seem fake to me. if they are, though... nice fucking work.
and if they're real... nice fucking find.
video three is an absolute nightmare. i'm probably going to have it tonight, hahaha.
edit: i'd like to note that "accidental" video posts are sort of a regular occurence on nin.com. videos (i think "the hand that feeds" was one of them) have previously appeared on the site for short periods of time, only to be removed after getting "caught" by a few lucky fans, and then reuploaded in a different place later on. so... i'm all for believing this one.
edit 2: oh! oh! and maybe they never did appear on the year zero site, but they're still official and zerosandones is actually someone on the inside... a p l a n t (why the fuck does this board change that word to "girl?")! come on, zerosandones... give yourself up! ;-D

If those were fake, then whoever made them is damn good. If they are real I wonder what they all mean and why they were taken of the site so fast.

Video one has some total gibberish on the website that's shown for a bit
'Parepin has no effect on ones and zeros' (aren't the zeroes missing an 'e' anyway?)
'Warning: Any threat to the nation's government or negativity toward the struggle for happiness is punishable by law'
Smells like bulltail.

just to fuck with us, i presume. a big part of this game is fucking with those "playing" it. i mean, come on... otherwise it wouldn't really be a game, now would it?
i keep trying to go to bed... but night after night, something keeps pulling me back in, goddamnit!
and i repeat: zerosandones... inside source... planted... jolly ranchers... obstacle course... marc... summers.........

Both spellings are correct. These are not fake. How could anyone possibly think they're fake? They compliment the ARG perfectly. They're real.

ZerosAndOnes if you're still there, I think you should come clean if this is bullshit, otherwise you're just going to piss a whole bunch of NIN fans off and get yourself banned.

if she never speaks again, i'm going to go ahead and consider her officially part of the ARG.

I emailed and was sent 3 .mov files, I uploaded them to youtube.
yztest01.mov:

yztest02.mov:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhf9RQdgucU
yztest03.mov:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spw1EIn_490
I cannot vouch for the authenticity of these videos, just what I got sent from the original poster of this thread, for all I know it's shenanigans.
i think describing the three videos takes all the impact out of them
they were definatly more shocking upon viewing them with no info about them (except that they were possibly year zero related)

"Video confiscated 30.10.0005"
0005.. being 2027
27.4.12
27.1.3
27.9.9
Could they be dates?

Perhaps videos/information people are uploading now that the government isn't around anymore to prevent them from doing so...? (That might explain why they're using the old date system and not the YZ system?)

In video 3 the confiscation date is -0008, according to "another version of the past", nothing happens in -8

Remember, confiscation date means when it was aquired, not when it was made.

That's the Secure Broadcast Initiative, isn't it?
If these are fakes they are ELABORATE
(Which means they probably aren't. Which means, we might not be needing to see these yet.)

Oh my god =/ That second video is fucking freaky. The video of the hollywood sign. You can see the explosion coming in from the side. Kind of hard to notice.

they ARE using the YZ date system
also in one or all the clips...tbere seems to be a rectangle that says upload
what i think the videos are...are videos that were uploaded to youTube in the future, that have been removed from youTube by the government (hence why they have a confiscated date on them different from when the events happened)
