Next Half Life Episode? Portal Sequel? What is THIS about?

Posted by: |

A new viral teaser website that popped up is quite spooky. It’s called “Whats in the box?”

Whats in the box?

When hover over this red circle, you’re mouse point has a pattern of letters and numbers:

0.0.F.F.C.F
F.F.0.0.D.0
8.E.0.1.F.F
D.A.F.F.0.0
F.F.0.1.0.1
0.1.D.4.F.F
0.0.0.B.F.F
4.2.F.F.0.0
F.E.A.7.0.2

What do they mean? Are they a code of some sort? Are they hex color codes? Upon further investigation of this page, viewing the source, there’s this code:

More information on this site, after the break.When going to http://babel-research.eu, we are greeted with a completely different website. But, on every footer of this website are three logos. Two of which made me smile.

Black Mesa, Aperture Science, and the Hanso Foundation Logos

Could this mean there is something in the works from Valve? With E3 only about one month away, we could only hope. Here is the video, uploaded on March 13th, that started this viral teaser site.

Update: Looking through the source, I found this: http://babel-research.eu/snd/hidden.mp3 . Someone play it backwards and tell us what it says.
Update: James (aka forevil) played it backwards and said “”something november. 19 november maybe. or thank you november. its REALLY distorted” The plot thickens!!! New game from Valve on November 19?!

Update: (by forevil) My findings so far…

R — I respect your caution.  Suppose it’s warranted, after all you’ve come through.  I can’t remember it exactly, but I think when we were in the stairwell in Paris, you muted the mic as I said “Because he wanted me to help you, and I can’t question a man who would launch the Mental Health Appeal… to save a loved one.”   Say what you will about him now, his heart was once in the right place.
