  11. *WHAM City might’ve infiltrated this document. At the very least they are aware of it, and are probably monitoring it and watching your every move. (FYI: WHAM CITY is Alan Resnick’s, Ben O’Brien’s and Robby Rackleff’s Art Collective--they all created this. ARGs are often ongoing things, Alan Tutorial did something similar. People have been tweeting this to them all days, basically playing into their hand. But forget about that, DON’T FORGET TO TRY TO CATCH WHAM CITY LIVE ON THEIR END OF THE W0RLD TOUR, CURRENTLY ONGOING!) http://whamcitycomedy.com/shows

  16. What is it?
  17. This House Has People in it (THHPII) is a lator/comedy short and alternate reality game made collaboratively by AB Video Solutions (ABVS). ABVS also created Live Forever as You Are Now with Alan Resnick, Commencement Speech, and Unedited Footage of a Bear for Adult Swim. ABVS includes Alan Resnick (of “alantutorial” fame), Dina Kelberman, Robby Rackleff, Ben O’brien, and Cricket Arrison. This group is known sometimes as Wham City. 4 videos appeared on Alan Resnick’s youtube page, Adult Swim’s Facebook Page, and elsewhere on March 4, 2016 leading to the full short premiering on March 14 at 4am on Adult Swim.
  18. The short (and its accompanying web materials) depicts an everyday American suburban family in the midst of a series of supernatural crises. It was shot entirely on security cameras.
  19.  
  20. The full short can be viewed at this link.
  21.  
  22.  
  23. What is going on?
  24. The short consists of security cam footage inside someone's home. AB Surveillance Solutions, a security company seems to be keeping logs and watching the family as they live a seemingly average life. However it seems that there is something darker going on under the facade.
  25.  
  26. A synopsis of the short can be found below, but it is recommended that you view the full video from the link above as it will contain spoilers.
  27. AB Surveillance Solutions
  28. The link at the end of the video (http://absurveillancesolutions.com/) leads to a website for the security company. The page is that of a security company but it appears that they don’t actually seem to be selling anything. A lot of the site is worded strangely, often saying disturbing things.
  29. One of the sections is a “solution” forum with a small questionnaire. So far it only returns an error stating: Error: This function is not available without an account
  30. At the top of the main page there is a login section. Requesting a password recovery and giving an address gives you an email gives you the following:
  31.  
  32. You can use a password/
  33. User: 00437
  34. Password: bedsheets
  35.  
  36. In the DOS prompt you are presented with selections 0-2 however ‘3’ is a valid selection that requires a password. (also after you type ‘3’ it changes to ‘x’)
  37.  
  38. The password to the archives is “sadday” which contains audio, text, and image files.
  39. The password for 3 is “waarnemin” (Dutch/Afrikaans for "observation” - although could be meant as waarnemen or waarneming), it contains three very unpleasant videos. Both passwords can be seen hidden in THHPII.
  40.  
  41. The javascript over at http://absurveillancesolutions.com/script.js (Unobfuscated javascript) is writ
  42. ten in such a way that it has been obfuscated. All the readable parts of the code are written in reverse. If you reverse the top half you can see all the readable parts and you will notice the user/pass is in there which leads me to think the user and pass for the archive and ‘3’ selection must also be in that list.

  156.  
  157. Noteworthy events in log videos:
  158. 00012: Subject 27 / Guest 5 affected by something kinetical that also affected the video signal? (The signal switches to a strange-colored face of a man and then to that man eating another man on a bed for a few frames.) The description from the DOS command labels the girl as “guest 5”, but the video log notes say “subject 27 affected”. 09/14/2015 12:19:02 PM shows briefly at 0:20
  159.  
  160. 00147: Subject 2 unable to lift lawn mower. Mower slowly sinks into the ground(no it doesnt?). Camera shakes afterwards. Perhaps Subject 2 is venting by kicking tree camera is situated in? Is this the same lawnmower being pushed in x2?
  161.  
  162. 00443: The video of Boomy zooming through the neighborhood shows some frames eating garbage, just like in the game. Worth noting that Sonic Boom, episode 34, features short scene of main character taking out garbage after going "one too many" layers of daydreaming out. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6mzBjFtcBc).
  163.  
  164. 00456: The mother spits on the pizza (like the father in 05008) and throws some slices in the kitchen cupboards. In the end we see freeze frames of Boomy eating those pizza slices(He eats from two separate places meaning two separate days,she also throws pizza in the bin under the sink and you can see Boomy eating that,also there is a color frame of his feet and lower body.Check the video frame by frame you will see) (is that a pizza with no toppings? Or maybe even a clay pizza?) Boomy’s face eating pizza. (Phrases “Pimp”, “Dux”, and “Dance Dad” seen on side of fridge)
  165.  
  166. 050z08 Subject 2 is standing at the front door looking directly at the camera. Proceeds to shuffle along the wall, clumsily open the door so it blocks view, then returns with a hacksaw. Exchanges hacksaw with empty pizza box from 00456, spits in it, then throws it out. Seems to have lost a lot of his motor ability. (Trying to spread LD to captors by spit?)
  167.  
  168. 11009 Extreme close-up of Subject 6 rubbing clay (or anti-Lynks gel?) on his face with his eyes closed (another way of “face touching”?)
  169.  
  170. 04520: Son is frantically coding on several computers while the Father is trying to pull him away, yelling “Call the police”, it appears they are both wearing the same clothing (Is this Alan Resnick telling us to stop snooping around? Or this could be the explanation for why some videos are missing. It could be another symptom of Lynks?). There are letters on the dishwasher that i believe reads “BEANS.” And then M, I, and A are scattered about.also a magnet with A, 7, and maybe J punched out. (Well with issues with Net Neutrality, the US Government is trying to make encrypting illegal. Fox News tries to convince people that hackers/crackers are criminals instead of technocrats. Tying this tangential comment together as relevant because Tom says that he’ll call the cops on his son for what looks like hacking/cracking. A lot of this thematically deals with old fashioned dos-cracking and surveillance. )
  171.  
  172. 07264: Someone is hiding in the lower left corner (Boomy?, x?) Note how 6 walks up to the bed very robotically, then suddenly moves naturally to its side. 6 doesn’t come from the door, yet leaves through it. Comes from the same direction as the thing from x3. Also note that this video takes place on Christmas. He mentions saving money in the winter (by replacing the windows) but since it takes place on Christmas, it is wintertime.
  173.  
  174. 22038: Boomy is entering the bedroom and hiding. (Possibly fondling himself at 0:23?) Couple is not counted as subjects?
  175.  
  176. 40234: The Father sings a patriotic tune and salutes. Note how the family salutes back in an almost robotic fashion. Also he knows there are cameras installed as he looks at them while singing. At the end of the video he begins crying remorsefully.
  177.  
  178. 96200: Letters “PEG” on the floor, also the Father is secretly listening to war sounds which he hides from wife/family, and lying down
  179.  
  180. 02114: Living room lights are off with dog figurine on table. Dog figurine moves leading to dip to white. Figurine also appears in the Tree-video. Log indicates that Subject 1 is present but cannot be seen in the video. Person working outside falls off ladder towards end of video.
  181.  
  182. 64830: This video takes place weeks after 02114, Subject 1 is trying to show the family what happened in that video. She tries to telekinetically move the dog figurines, which doesn’t work. The Dad shushes the family out of the room, ending the video with a concerned f
  183.  
  184. 00083: The family celebrates a Christmas tree… in mid-Summer. (Possible link to Lynks Disease causing loss of sense of time?) Dog-figurine appears in on tree. Mother is shown attacking the tree or figurine with a machete? Oh yeah, also the creepy blinking head in the mirror. (Could be grandfather/missing subject?) Subject 3 turns and is seen holding a baby doll. Subject 2 says, “Guys...I kept my promise!” And everyone else screams with joy and begins hugging. (In the main video you can see a snow shovel, meaning that it does snow where they live.)
  185.  
  186. x3: Subject 1&2 are laying in bed. Conversations go from the book subject 1 is reading to subject 2 being in a band. We hear them both sing the Boomy the cat theme song, and subject 1 calls it “cute”. They discuss donating to charities and the African country of Togo. Suddenly, unknown subject enters the room (Could be Alan’s “Visitor Information” character or subject in mirror in Log 00083) Both subject 1&2 are frightened. Camera goes “out of range”. Seems to come from a different direction than the door to the room.
  187.  
  188. 00451 & FILE08488 (in the archives): In FILE08488 an unnamed person asks Subject 4 to hide something behind his bed because “my mom is really pissing me off”, later in 00451 we see Subject 4 put something behind his bed, presumably whatever this unnamed person wanted Subject 4 to hide. (NOT the same instance actually… 00451 is on 5/31/15 and the email from FILE08488 is on 11/12/14. But it does show that he hides things there consistently.)
  189.  
  190. 50032: The Contractor (Subject 6) gets beaten up by unknown henchmen (possibly to death? no, not to death you can see him get up and try to climb the ladder again a couple of times, but I don’t think he’s in later videos. he is in the logs, though: “10-08-2015 13:19:08 Subject 5 flirts with Subject 6 00:01:05”).
  191. Subjects 1 & 2 converse in the living room without noticing. Subject 2 mentions that Boomy might be able to improve concentration. Mentions the Boomy theme (Including “he’s coming for you”) and calls Boomy an imaginary friend (as opposed to just a cartoon character) (indicates Boomy interacts with fans directly?) (He means that now that the kid sees him on the cartoon he can think of him as his imaginary friend, I don’t think it means that Boomy can interact with fans directly, but in the child’s email to the Boomy fan club he says he sees Boomy sometimes, which would be Subject 9, but I don’t think he’s actual Boomy--I’ve heard a theory that due to the mention of time travel in x3 people think that Subject 9 is just later Jackson. Also possible connections to Alan Tutorial and Autism in general with the color blue).
  192.  
  193. 03560: Subjects 1-5 hiding in the living room. None are very well concealed. Subject 8 is crawling on the floor.
  194.  
  195. 08232: Subject 6 touches face in basement
  196.  
  197. 66392: Subject 3 touches face in basement
  198.  
  199. 01088: Subject 4 touches face in bedroom
  200.  
  201. 87600: Subject 4 touches face in front yard
  202.  
  203. 31786: Subjects 1 and 2 touch faces in living room
  204.  
  205. 02955: Subject 5 sits in bedroom looking at pictures of Subject 6 on a tablet while laughing
  206.  
  207. 30002: Subject 1 mentions “a character in my book died”, which has also been stated in archived audio log FILE02203. (I think this happens 3 times throughout the entire ARG, in X3 Anne says it again and Tom asks “How many now?” and she says “12”, but then Tom asks how far she has left in the book and she says “12” again, so this could just be a sign of mental deterioration).
  208. 01263: Subject 5 enters the house wearing handcuffs. This is notable in that the Sculptor from the show she’s always watching believes the best clay comes from prisons. Lynks can also be transmitted from handling clay. From the emails, we know the grandma has been purchasing clay as well.

  214. throughout the archive there are pictures of pink sticky notes on top of newspapers and clay sculpture. on the sticky notes there is always the family number (00437) and mysterious numbers that always start with R.
  215. here are the numbers in order:
  216. R204 < Road in Leitrim, Ireland
  217. unknown (completely blurred)
  218. R189 < Likely Road in Monaghan, Ireland
  219. R223 < Road in South Africa

  221. R372 < Road in Galway, Ireland, or South Africa
  222. R135 <Road in Monaghan, or Dublin, Ireland

  225. Edit: some people found out that some of these numbers are names of roads around the world. One of the road is in south africa which fit the story.
  226.  
  227. Audio Files:
  228. The archives contain audio files which reveal more of Subject 1 and 2’s bizarre mental state. All of them are tap wired phone conversations. The files either show the couple’s loss of mental functions and/or end abruptly in ape-like shrieking. TRANSCRIPTS HERE - please contribute!

  262. --Subject 2 can not remember what the 3rd floor looks like and subject 1 notes how the drapes on that floor are fading and blue (a color the subjects are wearing or are around only when they begin to get weird).
  263. --Crackers that Tom won’t let the kids have, that they seem to already have in the video before they buy them.
  264. --Screams of terror and panic; identical to the ones in x3. Same Red Man appearing to 1 & 2?

  313. NEW CLUE: www.tormadoes.weatherfront.net
  314. In the clay sculpturing show the host mentioned a website called http://tormadoes.weatherfront.net/. This site has been registered just now and leads to a “Forbidden” error message. Prepare for more detective work.
  315. -weatherfront.net is registered by “Dina Kelberman” (https://whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=tormadoes.weatherfront.net), a few hours _after_ the original video was released. She is a Baltimore based artist that works with adult swim (http://www.clawclaw.com/2014/11/artist-interview-dina-kelberman/)
  316. -only links I’ve found so far are links to the creators’ (?) personal websites:
  317. -http://tormadoes.weatherfront.net/ALANRESNICK.INFO/
  318. -http://tormadoes.weatherfront.net/DINAKELBERMAN.COM/
  319. -http://tormadoes.weatherfront.net/ROBBYRACKLEFF.COM/
  320. -found these by entering their name alone, e.g. “http://tormadoes.weatherfront.net/alanresnick” and visiting the similar document
  321.  
  322. -more Dina-related finds. Relevant video? https://player.vimeo.com/video/140693959
  323. -includes boomy
  324. -found from this page, “play reel”: http://dinakelbermanwebdesign.com/#abv
  325. -site reads that THHPII airs “all next week”. Maybe more videos will come every day at 4am?
  326. -I don’t think this is true, it just re-ran the second, but we’ll have to keep watching
  327. -direct link to ab video page: http://abvideo.solutions
  328. -I think this may just be literally a demo reel for the production company.
  329.  
  330. Tangentially related http://tormadoes.weatherfront.net/logs/ exists now. You need a username and password to log in. (will be maybe revealed in a re-run??)
  331. 00437:bedsheets does not work
  332. -how did you find this?
  333. -password/user could include boomy???
  334. -Could also include any of the words that appear throughout the videos
  335. -When discussed in the clayground video, text scroll on screen references this website with a special remark towards “cumulus clouds”. Potential part of password/login?
  336. -We probably could get the password by making a transcript of all of the videos, adding all text from the videos and logs, and then using each word as a username or password
  337.  
  338. http://tormadoes.weatherfront.net seems to act as a standard cheap hosting environment. Invalid URLs redirect to a host-provided site parking page. Quite possibly just a shared host for many sites in the ARG, but not an actual (intentional) part of the ARG itself.
  339.  
  340. How did we even manage to find the “Logs” section of the weatherfront site?

  621. Disorganized Notes:
  622. This house has people in it:
  623. Observation: The character from the “x” videos looks a lot like a character from an older video by alan resnick called ‘Visitor Information’. Two of the sculptors statues also appear in the family's house near fireplace. (Alan Resnick also makes sculptures on his youtube page, in some of them he refers to them as “Gazing Globes”. In the cigarette email from the mother to the daughter “Gazing Globes” are mentioned.) There is a missing R in the birthday message above the fireplace. (Possible link to mental deterioration caused by Lynks Disease?) (The post it note numbers have R in front of them, possible connection?)
  624.  
  625.  
  626.  
  627. Cigarettes are a common theme in some of the clips and in a transcript found in the post. Clay is in cigarettes to weigh them down so they fit into a weight category. If you didn't know, clay apparently is what causes Lynks disease, and Madison (the teen that started sinking through the ground) was busted a number of times for having cigarettes and her brother even used them as a reward to get her to do something. This could mean that the reason she was face down and sinking was that she got Lynks disease from the cigarettes.

  634. It appears that the family featured is not the only people they are monitoring, in fact the email logs suggest that the company is watching the whole neighbourhood (Boy not being able to invite friends from old school outside the neighbourhood).
  635. They seem to know what is going on even if the family does not.
  636. They are keeping very detailed logs of the family.
  637. Logs are formatted more like scientific notes.
  638. The family may not be aware of some or all of the cameras.
  639. There seems to be an excessive amount of cameras placed in the home covering many angles. It might be that this is less about security and more about spying.
  640. -Maybe more of a cover up? “Our mission is to simply increase (or decrease) awareness of things by any means necessary.”
  641. Various passwords can be spotted in the background in THHPII.

  645. The Sculptor’s Clayground is a fake TV show that can be seen on the video logs being watched by the Grandmother (Subject 5)
  646. One full ‘episode’ is here.
  647. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=453wgsWT5Ao
  648. -Title misspelled as “The Scultor’s Clayground”
  649. -Note that this episode differs from the one shown in the main Adult Swim video.
  650. -Sam if you’re reading this please watch this show and visit the website
  651. -There are two more episodes listed on the channel, both of which are currently unlisted/private.
  652.  
  653. -Page contains multiple references to Lynks
  654. -Several of the pictures are images of Lynks symptoms, three are dated, dates seem to have no directly corresponding date and time to any archive post:

  660. -Page makes multiple references to “Sam” (Subject 2? No, subject 2 is tom)
  661. -Q:Who is Sam? Possible romantic relationship to the Sculptor? Partner in crime?
  662. -A:Given this link: https://youtu.be/453wgsWT5Ao?t=11m37s, I think it’s safe to say a romantic relationship.
  663. -Page claims Lynks is spread by not washing your hands, are the logs specifically mentioning “face touch” related to the spread of Lynks?
  664. -Unknown person in pictures of sculptures, probably the Sculptor, hands look bloody in several of the pictures
  665.  
  666. -two of the Sculptures listed appear in the house.
  667.  
  668. Page talks about clay being both a cure and a cause of lynks disease.
  669.  
  670. Speculation: The Sculptor could be trying to spread lynks disease, not warn of it.
  671. ^ Clay might be the cause of the disease
  672.  
  673. Has anyone looked at the sparkes gif file? It and the boomy cat win screen are the only pictures that have sparkling animated stars. Some kind of connection?

  678. “Robby Rackleff” is seen in the credits of ClayGround (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=453wgsWT5Ao&feature=youtu.be&t=13m19s)
  679. Domain has one page with exactly 700 video games listed: http://www.robbyrackleff.com/gameslist.html
  680. Claims to have been last updated 12/16/14, though domain was registered 7/7/15
  681. Question: splitting video game list by platform?
  682. “Robby Rackleff” also commented on this video of boomy the cat (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6q5XW1sLh64&feature=youtu.be): “You should've printed your award.”
  683.  
  684. ^ ROBBY RACKLEFF IS A REAL GUY https://bgrant2013.wordpress.com/artist-profiles/robby-rackleff/
  685.  
  686. ^ seems fishy still. Video game list makes no sense, dates don't make sense, domain registration is recent(ish) (in an interview with WHAM City it is said that he is the Resident Videogamer, also a lot of the videos on his youtube page use old crappy PS2 graphics for aesthetic reasons--despite it not making sense to you, it’s probably an inside joke for them and people who’ve seen WHAM City live. Keep in mind, Ben O’Brien (the guy who plays Dennis) is also in WHAM City and a majority of his artwork are about him running a cult. Dan Deacon (who also collaborates with WHAM City) does awesome things with crowd control at his concerts much like Ken Kesey and The Grateful Dead did with The Acid Tests, also much like how Adult Swim can control its crowd so well that it can make them religiously watch a tv show about games done with a fish tank. So big themes here: Cults, crowd control via entertainment. WE’RE THE SUBJECTS!!! SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!!
  687. ^^ hmm.. Baltimore based, similar to “Dina Kelberman”? Registrant of weatherfront.net (tormadoes.weatherfront.net from above). She works with adult swim
  688. ^^^ Yes.. some might say they work together with Alan Reckerkerson or whatever his name is
  689. ^^^^ so likely relevant, even if he is real
  690. ^^^^^ I think the character he’s playing is more relevant, not the actor himself
  691. ^^^^^^ for sure, I thought you were implying his domain was not related to this ARG. I think it is (but I could be mistaken)
  692. ^^^^^^^ IDK, looks like a classic web artist portfolio page thingy to me. Also he could have made that video game list in a text editor and saved it in 2014 for later
  693. ^ true, list being exactly 700 items is a bit strange to me, but ???
  694. Lynks Disease
  695. A deadly disease that affects the skin and mental state of humans
  696. Losing sense of time and memory, develops bad motor and speech skills.
  697. Possible (and most likely true) way of getting Lynks Disease is through ‘handling of some Clays’ (according to thesculptorsclayground.com)
  698. Clay is also mentioned as a cure to lynks disease
  699. Someone is trying to form a community of “Lynksers” by writing pamphlets with themes related to living with LD (accessible in the archives)
  700. The first stages begin with the person face-patting themselves. Then mental deterioration follows, and the final stage is a catatonic stage in which the person gets sucked into the ground (and becomes clay?)
  701. Is possible that everyone in the family has the Lynks Disease, either from handling the clay or simple contact, clay as a disease vector?
  702. Most likely
  703. File6992 from the archive has an image file. The image itself seems to be a paper/pamphlet about Lynks. And on the side column states that there are “10 easy ways to kill yourself or your loved ones...”
  704. Subjects frequently wear blue when acting strangely, but not when acting normally. This could be a visual symbol for Lynks. In the final video, it is shown that they are not actually wearing blue when they leave the room, which corroborates this.
  705. The Sculptor develops the ability to sing beautifully b/c of Lynks. Subject 3 phases through the floor, most likely due to the disease as well. Does Lynks provide superpowers of some sort? (Doubtful, the ‘perfect pitch’ and singing skills claimed by the Sculptor are likely delusions rather than honest traits. Phasing through the floor I would argue to be more metaphorical for parents losing a child to illness with no way to bring them back up? Perhaps? Or could be actual superpowers without knowledge of how to use them) <We need more evidence to back a claim like this up>
  706. This website , which is the tv show that Alan does, includes details about his show, but also gives insight into the symptoms, ways of getting it and more.

  710. Note: These are all based upon my belief that the DOS logs are 100% objective truth from the camera feeds themselves. Everything happened.
  711. 01-03-2015 20:43:18 Subject 1 [Anne] shaves dog 00:00:48: Proof of a dog existing. Remember that these are AB’s logs, they are not affected by the family’s disorientation or mental illness.
  712. 15-09-2015 10:40:29 Subject 8 [Baby] in outside hole:
  713. From the Claridyrl website.
  714. Many, MANY Subject 4 [Jack] logs: Jack is the most mentally balanced, capable, rational and unsurprising of the family. He has a heated discussion with the Contractor, he visits Room X, is working on a novel [?], is seen “hacking”, and he has been logged having a gun. Jack is the key to something. Also, his hands go missing.

  730. A: 10-12 are unknown as of yet. 13 However would likely be friendly to 4, either imaginary or not (pink version of Boomy mentioned briefly? Perhaps one of the stranger figures?)

  733.  
  734. Q: How does THHPII tie in with the “Alan Universe” (Unedited Footage of a Bear / Visitor Information / Alantutorials / Live Forever As You Are Now)?
  735. A: In the Claridryl page(website in the description of UFoaB), after you get into the house, you can see a man “clipping” into the wall of the closet and the floor of the basement, similar to Madison. Connections to Autism and the color blue in AlanTutorial and this. A lot of his work seems to be about diseases and misdiagnoses and how the US is incapable of dealing with certain mental health issues, often leading to homelessness (this started getting a lot worse in the 80s around the Reagan administration, which also marks a new era of suburban bullshittery). Face touching is a theme in a lot of his stuff (in Live Forever especially, also that you don’t see Alan’s face in Alan Tutorial, on the personal info section on WHAM City for him it says he is obsessed with his face). ALSO a couple of videos on Alan’s personal youtube page deal with sculptures, both material and digital that he has made.
  736.  
  737. Q: Also a question I’m surprised no one has asked yet--How does THHPII connect to Adult Swim’s Off The Air in the larger sense of Adult Swim’s goals with it?
  738. A: THHPII and all of the Adult Swim informercials premiere in Off The Air’s timeslot. Each of the members of WHAM City, including sometimes member Dan Deacon, have worked on Off The Air, and people theorize that they are largely responsible for it. An Alan Tutorial video, as well as a Memime and Robby Rackleff video are featured in Off The Air. The strangest thing about Off The Air is that it’s now apparently moving into something like a Phase 2, which began when Alan Tutorial appeared in the episode “Holes” and led any intrigued viewers down that rabbit hole. Phase 2 was made official with the most recent Off The Air episode “NEWNOW” and the new Off The Air bumpers on Adult Swim’s website saying: “This will all make sense in about a year. (Maybe)”. On the Off The Air facebook group they said they recently said they were done screwing around and they were going to start “dipping their toes” in other Adult Swim shows such as Fish Center. THHPII, Off The Air, Dan Deacon’s concert-app, Wham City’s art collective, Alan Tutorial and Fish Center all seem to be dealing with the future of film/tv in the age of the internet, and how it will all kinda merge into something people call New Media. Basically Off The Air is kinda Adult Swim’s flagship right now, it stands out especially for its seamless gathering/editing of disconnected threads from the internet into one greater whole; people theorize that Adult Swim may have already replaced the original black screen/white text Adult Swim bumpers through usage of this seamless editing. Basically cutting this short because I have stuff to do and I want to try to catch THHPII on tv again if I can, Off The Air is the META-ARG for all of adult swim. THHPII is the newest big clue/thread/subdivision in a digital abyss of other clues/threads/subdivisions that all kinda tie together in one way or another. One of their missions seems to be about getting the Adult Swim audience to appreciate this strange new artform as fast as they can because this is the future of art and we’re lucky enough to see glimpses of it now (At least that was kinda the theme of NEWNOW, and it’s as mindbogglingly genius as THHPII, so who knows really what their endgame/mission is); i.e point being, well funded ARGs, like the LOST ARGs and The Institute, are all about subdividing the ARGs into other parts to confuse/distract/lead people down different paths. OF COURSE THIS IS THE THHPII DOC SO DON’T WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT OFF THE AIR, JUST KEEP IT IN MIND.
  739.  
  740. Q: Who or what is behind the security organization and is there any relation to the TV sculptor?
  741.  
  742. Q: Is the family quarantined? Or maybe even the whole neighborhood?
  743. A: Highly likely that it’s beyond the family. Presence of TV show and communities gives hints towards Lynks being either community based (neighborhood/quarantined communities) or at grandest scale a nationwide epidemic with most in denial.
  744.  
  745. Q: What is the significance of Boomy?
  746. A: Boomy has been linked to Sonic (from the games/shows/comics) on several occasions in color and in shape. Sonic is usually connected to some “autistic” *cough* behavior, and thus the character might be related to the display of mental health issues, considering autism is such a reoccurring theme. NOTE: Boomy also has his own little game in the form of an EXE file.
  747. Boomy is a series of shows and movies in-universe, as well as at least one in-universe person seen around the house. He is also cited as being an imaginary friend of the boy. The relation between the real and fictional Boomys could be an allegory for the breaking of the line between reality and fiction in the minds of the family.
  748.  
  749. Q: Why is a guy dressed like Boomy even there, eating garbage like in the game? (Could it be Subject 2?)
  750. A: Subject 9 is Boomy, Subject 2 is the dad. The logs would show that 2 has been dressing as Boomy and running around, but they classify them as being different subjects.
  751.  
  752. Q: How DOES Lynks Disease affect people and how is it transmitted?
  753. A: possibly makes people fall through the ground
  754. There are clay sculptures in the living room from the clay video. Seems to imply that perhaps they know the sculptor personally.
  755. http://thesculptorsclayground.com/ Lists symptoms of Lynks
  756.  
  757. Q: Who is behind the Lynks newsletters? (Sculptor?)
  758. A: Personally doubt it. Sculptor’s site had many more spelling and grammar errors than the newsletters. No other reasoning beyond consistencies there. Likely some larger group of Lynks afflicted.
  759. Q: What does it say in the blurry portions of the Lynks newsletters?
  760.  
  761. Q: What’s with the dogs?
  762. A: 01-03-2015 20:43:18 Subject 1 [Anne] shaves dog 00:00:48. They absolutely had a dog at one point. This would also correlate with one of the e-mails in which Madison wonders why Jack drew a large, pink cat alongside Boomy. Also, the dog disappeared, and given Madison has been seen carrying a baby doll [post subject 8], it would fit into a narrative of them…’pretending’ to be [or have] things because their minds can’t accept the loss. However, people wear dog costumes prior to the shaving of the dog. Which is either more evidence of time fuckery or I’m just wrong. Idk. No. Wait. Pink thing in the robe is the “dog”? God damn it.
  763.  
  764. Q: Is the sculptor deliberately misinforming people on Lynks Disease so more people contract it? Is he affected by it? How severely, if so?
  765. A: His mental state from “Stage 5 Lynks” seems to make him extremely forgetful and double backing over it so I doubt the character has motives beyond a narrative that he keeps repeating. Broken record esque (similar to Subject 1 “a character in my book died”, Subject 2 “can we get pizza?” “Lets go to Africa instead of Orlando”. It doesn’t seem like Subject 1 from x3 is really reading her book or has the capacity to read when she states 12 when asked how many chapters are left. Also the vacation statements span over years so they never seem to actually take a vacation anywhere.)
  766.  
  767. Q: What’s with the “face touch”? It is said that Lynks is spread by not washing your hands, is there a connection?
  768. A: Face-touching seems to be an early symptom of Lynks according to the Review. Later may be motor loss, memory loss, etc. Also seems that face sensitivity (leading to touching) is a symptom of Midbrain defect, demyelination of nerve cells, and neuropathies (general nerve or brain damage in association with sensation). Some anon also argued the face touching might be a thing to make clay out of skin.
  769.  
  770. Q: Where is “Room X”? Is it the room full of junk where Creepy Red Mannequin resides?
  771. A: No real answer. Likely the locked room in the basement mentioned briefly in audio.
  772.  
  773. Q: Where is the “out of range” camera?
  774. A: It looks more like some interference happens that causes a camera to not transmit a fully powered signal, making the camera “out of range”
  775.  
  776. Q: What is the “shape” and the “object” the log alludes to? (maybe refers to the clay sculptures? clay sculptures referenced directly on the log)
  777.  
  778. Q: Why do we/do we have Lynks disease? (in reference to the sculpting website)
  779. A: It has been speculated that the sculptor does not have everyone’s best intentions in mind, and thus might be spreading false information. By claiming that everyone has Lynks, it creates a sense of coexistence and thus less to be afraid of. It should be noted that the direct link between the sculptor and the disease is still on speculation-basis.
  780.  
  781. Q: What is “the object” referred to on 01-01-2016?
  782. Q: One log entry mentions Subject 4 bathing in red water and another mentions him being with bats. What the hell? (There’s also the “missing hands” entry and the entry where S4 has a gun)
  783. Q: What’s with the “SWAT Team” and the flooded front yard mentioned in the log?
  784. Q: How does the red-faced man relate to Lynks disease, (if at all)?
  785. A: Red-faced man and events in x1 and x2 along with the newsletters seem to suggest a supernatural aspect to the disease or specifically affecting this family. Either that or the Lynks disease has affected others in the community that are either living in that house (Room X) or previous experiments (considering possible government experimentation theory).
  786.  
  787. Q: Are the deer signficant? Are they some sort of trigger for Boomy Man?
  788. A: They could represent the feral nature of Boomy Man (he hunts to eat), who seems to be a lot like a feral dog.
  789.  
  790. Q: Youtube description “Event from account 00473” do we know about account 00473? Video is of log 00451. (The family is referred to as family 00473)
  791.  
  792. Q: In 30002, a dark image seems to slowly creep across the painting on the mantle. At beginning vs end. What? (Probably just the resolution being screwey) (it shows up early, you can see it move just after the 0:40 mark in 30002) (due to the length of the video, I’m guessing its a shadow from the outside, sun is slowly moving positions, maybe a tree or something. this is probably not relevant)
  793.  
  794. Q: Why nobody is talking about the coordinates that keep appearing in the video?
  795. At the end of the credits (11:47) Model/Parts #'s spell out: MODEL CHEESE ### PARTS PEPPERONI Coordinates (11:48): 48.8567N 2.3508E -Paris 41.9000N 12.4833E -Italy 17.8333S 31.0500E -Zimbabwe 15.4167S 28.2833E -Zambia 28.0000N 2.0000E -Algeria (Spells PIZZA)
  796. A: Pizza is a recurring theme. Much spoken about it in audio logs, boomy the cat is seen eating it, etc though its specific nature/reference has yet to be defined.
  797. Q: What is the significance of subject 1 and 2 both spitting in the pizza? This can be seen in two separate logs.
  798.  
  799.  
  800.  
  801.  
  802. Q: In many of the audio and text logs we can see that subject 2 seems to have a strange aversion to leaving his house. Not that he is incapable of leaving but that he is almost paranoid of other people. He insists on ordering online and at one point even tells subject 1 that she doesn’t have to sign for a package directly contradicting something in a previous audio file where he asks her if she’ll be home to get a package (I believe it was the dog costumes). Could this be related to Lynks disease or is the father more aware of what’s going on than he leads on, thus leading to his fear of being outside of the property? Perhaps he feels protected by the security cameras thus leading to what people pointed out in the original adult swim video as subject one yelling at what seems to be the camera for help.
  803.  
  804. Q: What is the significance of Bedsheets? After reviewing video logs, all of the beds in the household lack any bedsheets. Was it just a hint at the password for 00437 account on ABSS?
  805.  
  806. Q: If AB surveillance is monitoring the family in the house for the effects of Lynks, why did they send on of their own employees to live in the house and possibly contract the disease?
  807.  
  808.  
  809.  
  810. Map Coordinates
  811.  
  812. In the original video, there are 5 coordinates at the top of the screen at 11:49.
  813.  
  814. The coordinates:

  816. 48.956N 2.3508E

  833. (But, why is Paris the only city in the group of locations, and the others are countries?)
  834. But what does this mean?
  835.  
  836. Perhaps that is a safe zone from the disease? Maybe the scope of the spread of this is worldwide. Two things make me think this, the father wants to go to Africa instead of Orlando, maybe a subconscious desire to keep his family safe. Secondly, on the ABS website, they hint that they are a patriotic American company in one of America’s territories in a highly fortified position - potentially observing the spread of the disease and monitoring ‘subjects’ as case studies.

  839. Plot synopsis.
  840. WARNING: SPOILERS
  841.  
  842.  
  843. This house has people in it opens to a DOS screen for AB surveillance Solutions. Logs is open and a list of video logs is shown before tape number 00451 is loaded showing a list of security camera footage in what looks like a suburban home. We cut to the kitchen camera in which Subject 1 (Anne) and Subject 2 (Tom) are discussing taking money from a saved family vacation to Orlando and using it to go “out of the country” possibly to Cape Town. Subject 2 is seen holding Subject 8 (the baby) and Subject 3 (Maddison) is briefly seen lying face down (described in logs as “prone”) on the floor.
  844. The footage cuts to an empty hallway camera then to the basement in which Subject 6 is repairing something off-screen with a pipe wrench. Footage cuts once again to the living room, which has been decorated for a birthday party. Subject 4 (Jackson/Jack) is seen wandering while Subject 5 watches “The Sculptor’s Clayground”. We then go back to the kitchen to a discussion between subject 1 (holding Subject 8) and subject 2 talking about composting, then another cut to a front yard camera looking between some porch railings, and another cut to the backyard camera.
  845. Back in the kitchen Subject 1 and 2 (now holding Subject 8) now talking about cellphones, and how someone (probably subject 3) is not answering her phone. In the living room Subject 5 is still watching TV as Subject 4 plays with blinds. In the kitchen Subjects 1 and 2 are addressing subject 3 laying on the floor. (Subject 8 has disappeared). It is mentioned she hasn’t moved for 2 hours. Subject 2 resigns to let her lay there thinking it is some sort of tantrum. In the basement Subject 6 retrieves large container of water from off camera, as we cut back to Subject 1 begins taking photos while scolding Subject 3, Subject 2 argues about it.
  846.  
  847. Video then cuts to upstairs bedroom, as video distorts as we return to subject 4 still playing with blinds. In the kitchen the situation starts to turn into an argument as we cut to another kitchen camera of subject 8 playing with something green (possibly bowl). In the living room subject 5 is still invested in the TV show as we cut to Subject 4 laying on couch reading a tablet. A deer can be seen in the background before running off, followed by man in Sonic the hedgehog like costume (Boomy the blue cat) quickly runs by window. Another cut to a unknown camera possibly in a garage. In the backyard another quick glimpse of Boomy.
  848.  
  849. In the kitchen Subjects 1 & 2, dancing, while subject 2 makes odd noises. In the living room Subject 4 fiddles with party favors. Cutting back to the kitchen Subject 1 & 2 scold Subject 3. Quick cut to the bedroom, then to the basement where Subject 6 is hitting something metal off camera, followed by a camera that is “Out of range”.
  850.  
  851. In the kitchen subject 2 continues to scold subject 3 (who appears to very slightly be moving downwards). A quick cut to the backyard then to the kitchen where subject 2 is shocked as he finds he’s unable to move Subject 3, with cuts back to the living room and subject 8 crying in between. Subject 1 comes to aid him growing concerned as both are unable to move the unspeaking subject 3. Subjects 1 & 2 begin to panic and start to argue. Downstairs Subject 6 stares at ceiling with water in his hand, yelling audible all the way downstairs.
  852.  
  853. In the living room subject 5 is oblivious to the yelling, while speaking to the T.V. to “get your fingers in there”. Back in the kitchen subjects 1 & 2 pull on subject 3 with full strength, as footage cuts to camera zooming in on photo of subjects 2 and 4 with another cut to outside the front of the house. As 1 & 2 attempt to lift subject 3, subject 4 watches as party guest (a woman and two young girls) arrive. In the basement subject 6 stands confused looking at ceiling.
  854.  
  855. Back in the kitchen Subject 4 informs 1 & 2 that guests have arrived. Subject 1 tells 4 to keep everyone outside. Subject 2 breaks down crying apologizing that it isn’t a good time for the party. 4 leaves disappointed and leaves to answer door.
  856. Back in the kitchen Subject 1 tries to rationalize as to both 1 & 2’s horror subject 3 begins to sink into floor. Subject 4 closes door and presses head on it, depressed.
  857.  
  858. Subject 6 in basement hearing the screaming rushes upstairs as the camera pans up to show part of Subject 3’s face phase through the floor. Outside more guests arrive, as Subject 6 enters the kitchen and is shocked to see situation. After a pause Subject 1 angrily yells at him (or possibly the cameras) to help them. More guests arrive as 6 rushes off to get tools, 4 walks away from door. 6 comes back with large plank of wood and rushes with 1 to basement, abandoning subject 2 in kitchen. Meanwhile Subject 4 begins to sweep party supplies into large paper bag.
  859.  
  860. In the basement Subject 6 attempts to push subject 3 back up with plank, as subject 2 pleads to subject 8. He leaves her in the care of Subject 5 (with Subject 3 still sinking in the background), who immediately places 8 on the ground and goes back to watching her show as 8 crawls away.
  861. Another quick cut to the garage with the creepy man, then to bedroom 3 camera where subject 4 throws party favors behind bed.
  862.  
  863. Outside the children seem to have started the party and begin to open presents, as downstairs Subject 2 apparently snaps and loses his mind. Subject 6 begins to cut hole around subject 3 while in the basement Subject 2 starts raving about how subject 1 is beautiful. Outside the children have made a mess of the yard while subject 2 begins ranting about family. The stove in the kitchen begins to fume, and fills the house with smoke as Subject 8 is seen crawling away. Subjects 1 and 6 fetch subject 4’s mattress to put in the basement as Subject 2 has gone completely insane and is shouting. Outside Subject 8 crawls out of the backyard and is not seen again.
  864.  
  865. In the basement subject 3 finally falls through floor, just as she hits mattress in basement the screen cuts to blackness and distorted images as screaming can be heard. Quick shots of a bare mattress are revealed. Outside all guest are laying face down like subject 3 was.
  866. The feed cuts and the credits begin with address to AB surveillance solutions website.

  874. FROM CLARIDRYL COMMERCIAL WEBSITE:
  875.  
  876. Q: Did this “promotional” site exist prior to THHPII? What elements existed previously? (e.g., I assume the below images of people going through floors/walls did not. Are all other aspects of the game the same? Does putting a gift in the hole actually do anything?)
  877. A: Yes, this site was related to Unedited Footage of a Bear. It contained all the content already at the time the Bear short aired.
  878.  
  879. http://www.adultswim.com/promotions/claridryl/
  880. The website changes while you’re on it and it turns into a gif with a dancing girl. What does it mean?
  881. It means the “real” mother from the Unedited Footage of a Bear short is trapped within the site. I suggest you watch the short first

  887.  
  888. On Claridryl.com, there is some ascii art that appears at the bottom of the page occasionally.
  889. When copied/pasted and zoomed out on, the image created resembles a woman.
  890. -It’s obviously the alter-ego of UFoaB’s MC.
  891.  
  892. When you explore the house, there’s a hole in the backyard. If I remember correctly there’s a log entry about the baby [subject 8] being in a hole? You can drop a present into the hole as well. I don’t think this was ever explained with UFoaB, maybe relates to THHPII

  902. HAVE A NICE SLEEP
  903. Theories
  904. I think this entire thing is an attempt at engineering superhumans via the Lynks virus by directly exposing it to the populace. Lynks, while causing death, decay, and dementia, also causes perfect singing and matter phasing. AB Surveillance Solutions is monitoring a town while purposefully spreading Lynx to see the effects and see if anyone is immune to the degenerative aspects. This explains all the different subject numbers (everyone in the town is a subject), and Boomy (a town member who developed superspeed b/c of Lynks).
  905. The town being quarantined makes sense. It’s mentioned once that you “shouldn’t go too far, or they’ll think you’re trying to leave”. The baby in THHPII escapes in the chaos, and is replaced by a doll in later entries. Their dog runs away, and they’re seen wearing dog costumes to make up for the loss. Jack wonders why he can’t invite people from the old neighborhood to his birthday party.
  906. .
  907. (Personally seems more likely that Lynks is an airborne/or at least clay vectored neurodegenerative disease akin to Alzheimers, MS, or effectively a type of ASD (autism spectrum disorder) that has a tendency to create the belief of developing super powers, but that train of logic doesn’t explain Subject 3 nor other more supernatural phenomena)
  908.  
  909. A THEORY: Maybe the town is the victim of a widespread drug test (possibly under the name Claridryl) and the drug ended up with a breakout of Lynks disease. This might have made the creator of the drug (possibly sculptor) monitor the town for the psychological and physiological effects of the drug. The family we see could just be one of the many who are monitored. (DOES NOT EXPLAIN WHY DAUGHTER CLIPS THROUGH FLOOR) when the daughter is falling through the floor, the dad asks the daughter “Did you take pills?” (Claridryl) (Claridryl is a nose spray though) The sculptors show exists to spread fear that anyone can get the disease at any time, but in reality everyone already has it.

  912. Theory: This whole town has contracted the unknown Lynks disease and have volunteered to be monitored while they progress into insanity and eventually die. They are relocated to this fake town and their insanity makes them believe it's their normal home and lives. If the entire town isn't in on this research experiment, then this one house may have infected the party-goers when they are hanging out in the front yard by burning the clay pizza in the oven. That is why they all end up face down at the end of the video. It also may be that the house/yard itself is infecting people with Lynks.

  914.  
  915. What about the video-surveillance infecting people with Lynks? In the video where subject 27 is affected and then runs away it seems like the cameras show her something. Also lynks is links with a Y instead of an I--DEEEP Right?
  916.  
  917. Something is wrong with pizza. It has appeared to look fake or made out of clay. Pizza is causing Lynks. Please wash your hands after handling pizza.
  918.  
  919. Theory: The Lynks experiment has military applications. In image documents from the archives detailing a newsletter to individuals who have Lynks, mentions are made to some of the stranger actions performed by the family (have you listened to your record yet today? Have you found a place and hid in the dark yet today?) Perhaps the security company is conducting an experiment in using technology (whether airborne drugs, modified food, the ‘clay’, or some manner of electromagnetic device to incite behaviors in humans) regarding the application of behavior-control technologies. As is mentioned in this document earlier, several ‘triggers’ seem to cause weird behavior in the family, hinting that they may be being psychologically conditioned. Some strange things are outright ignored despite being obviously in the same room. The color blue appears to bring on some of these qualities.
  920.  
  921. Another important thing to note is that over the course of the audio logs in the archives, the individuals establish a clear pattern of communication over the phone. As the conversations continue, each time they begin a new one they say ‘hello’? Increasingly frantically before seeming to calm down once they hear the other subject repeat ‘hello’ several times. It’s in most of these same phone calls that they abruptly begin screaming, sometimes with no warning, once with a ‘wait a second’ before hand. I posit that Lynks disease is a cover up for a scientific experiment with military applications involving behavior control at least.
  922.  
  923. Due to the presence of anomalous physical phenomena like subject 3 phasing through the floor and an object on the living room table appearing to move on its own, possibly caused by subject 1 unconsciously, it is possible that either some supernatural stuff is going on or the military/scientists are testing technology that they aren’t completely in control of or don’t know the effects of (or maybe they do and just don’t care). One support for this theory is the constant introduction of new products into the family’s life that have to be relegated to specific people (no crackers for the kids) or are brought on for no reason whatsoever (the Lynks pamphlet says we’re doing Halloween in February, so let’s buy dog costumes for everyone!)
  924.  
  925. It would appear that subject 6 is also part of the experiment, I would guess he is a previous Lynks victim who has already been reliably conditioned and can perform modifications/repairs in the vicinity of the anomalous effects without risking any actual personnel. At one point subject 6 tells subject 1 while she is sleeping that it would be a good idea to replace every window in the house.
