Hey guys!

I’ve gotten on board this time after having missed out on the Season 2 competition. I will post my progress as and when I make it! 

Lets get started.

1) A reference to http://www.itcrowd.com/clue is made in the ‘Credits’ video. This website asks you for your e-mail address, and upon entering redirects to a YouTube page. The channel was ‘unavailable’ at the time of writing this post.

2) During the ‘cuke can’ game – a website is revealled; “http://cuke.me“. This redirects to the Reynholm Industries access denied page we’ve seen / decyphered before.

3) Also during the ‘cuke can’ game – a password is given: “TXgwQuMq2v0″. Upon Googling this password; a YouTube video was found (the video ID matches the password). The video can be found here. The video is a Fremantle Media title card. As to where this password can be used is unknown as of now..

4) The ‘geek/1337′ subtitles are based upon the standard subtitles but with letters replaced. My guess is that steganography is used and that by compiling a list of all the capital letters a message can be found. More on that soon – I’m supposed to be working on a university assignment so this is low priority at the moment . Will have to get ripping the subtitles and OCR’ing the text – use a filter to display capitals only and see what comes up.

This is just a basic knowledge of what I managed to interpret after 20 mins of general poking around the disc and it’s contents. 

Hopefully I shall find more soon and keep you posted!

If you haven’t already – go ahead and grab your copy of the IT Crowd Season 3 over at Play. If you don’t have any of the preceding seasons, I highly recommend the 1-3 boxset. At £17.99 – it’s a steal. 

Don’t forget, if you engage in piracy – be prepared to face the consequences.

Update: The ITCrowd.com/clue now links to the official YouTube page for The IT Crowd. The quest continues..
