- timdorr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+74Holy *****. Thanks for the frontpage. :|
- danmac, on 10/12/2007, -3/+67Some friends of mine checked out the set of lost earlier today, and stole food with the Dharma Initiative logo on it http://www.flickr.com/photos/uscfan/sets/72157594252842121/
- chris9902, on 10/12/2007, -2/+38... no, thank you for the video
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+35kendawg:
The production company that makes the "Lost" television series is running an online scavenger hunt game to help promote the show and encourage the growth of the online fan community. These video clips are the "prizes" that you find in the scavenger hunt game. This guy found them all, and assembled them into one single movie and posted it on YouTube.
In the fictional universe of "Lost", the Hanso Foundation is the fictional research company that built the hatches on the island, but if you watch the show, you realize that they reveal very little about what the Hanso Foundation is. This online game is essentially giving the fans some hints on the background of this fictional company.
The major storyline for this online game, told through fictional blog entries, numerous websites operated by ABC (the TV network that produces "Lost"), and these video clips, tell the story of an intrepid female computer hacker named Rachel Blake, who strives to expose Hanso Foundation as "evil" and essentially tries to warn everyone that they are not who they claim they are.
Aside from this online game, the production company of "Lost" has also published several novels that, while they do not relate to the main storyline of the show, seem to take place in the same fictional universe, and therefore give the fans some more little hints about some of the mysteries of "Lost" that are not explicitly stated on the show itself.
Of course, almost all of this is fairly unimportant to what goes on on the actual TV show, it's only purpose is to fill very tiny holes in the bigger mysteries of the "Lost" storyline. Therefore, if you do not take part in this game, or have any knowledge of what's revealed in it or the books or anything else, this won't impact your understanding of the TV show. This is just extra stuff to entertain the dedicated fans. - msbeckman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+34 I am pretty sure that this video is revealing that the "others" are actually the people being briefed...
- dontbejack, on 10/12/2007, -7/+33Linkage: You spend all day on digg. Do you think you're any better?
- msbeckman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25umm yes? Its the foundation running the island... they're the ones who provide them with food and put them there.
- themarq, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22No, it's not that hard, but this guy actually did it, and I thank him for it. Saves me the trouble of all that tedious websurfing around. Seeing all those vids in order was great.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+23You're a danish.
- timdorr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16Nope, I don't think it's hard to do. What *is* hard to do is decoding the VP6-encoded FLV files, and getting rid of the 2-3 frame audio drops at the beginning and ending of each fragment. I've got to go back and work on the section at the very beginning, but the rest should all be blip-free. That's the hard part ;)
- timdorr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17Actually, we do not know who the leader of The Others is. In fact, we do not even know if The Others are a part of the DHARMA Initiative. It's been heavily implied, but there's no direct evidence as of yet. More info on them: http://lostpedia.com/wiki/Others
- jackarmstrong, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17No no no, this was put together by the people who made Lost as a way to keep us entertained over the summer and learn a little more about the core of the show. However, they have explicitly stated that if you watch the show and do not hear about this stuff over the summer, it won't impact the show. In a way, it's a separate storyline about the same storyline.
Also, they plan to reveal, through this online thing, the meaning of the Numbers. 4 8 15 16 23 42. Don't know when that will happen though... in the meantime, this just tells you all about the company that put the 'stations' on the island in lost... the hatch, etc. It's also who the "others" work/worked for.
Hope that helps :) - egrabosky, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17It cant be the others. These videos are taking place in real time, 2006, the show is a few years behind. Although that would be cool.
- mrpizza, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Set looks unattended...Were there any people there? or can anyone just go and vandalize the place??
- timdorr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10It's not a tour of the set. It's part of The Lost Experience. Check out this for a good recap of what's going on: http://www.thefuselage.com/Threaded/showthread.php?t=53316
- georjyporjie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10that is a lot of collecting and splicing...
- playedalive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9how did they get a tour of the set?
- Protoss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Pretty much, you must have missed a majority of the MAJOR episodes. They'll contain the 'instructional' videos and stuff, produced by the Hanso Foundation.
- mongrel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8No, that's just more viral marketing, there's no such things as "leaks" anymore that don't come from the FCC.

The videos are part of the game. - blapierre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7You need a new OS/Browser then sir.
- TenebrousX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8you have after school activities at 9 pm?
- ArrEmmDee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5http://lostpedia.com/wiki/Sri_Lanka_Video
This guy did a really good job, but that link is going to be outdated about 17 times over once all is said and done. You're best off checking the Wiki solely dedicated to this stuff. - ductions, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanso
- kendawg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5ah ok thanks for the info guys
- seventoes, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7switch to windows for 5 minutes. I know it hurts, just bear with it.
- seventoes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Its not a "theam", its a layout.
- timdorr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4"Linux is like Mac, in that 99% of software doesn't work for it cause its made for win32"
That's the stupidest ***** I've ever heard. Windows doesn't have 99% of the software out there, and even if it did, it's mostly crap. With the exception of some rare applications, my Mac does everything my Windows PC does. In fact, I commonly use my Mac over my PC because there are many things that don't exist for Windows (Quicksilver comes to mind). - timdorr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Where'd you pull that from? They say that want 4 seasons. They might be able to do 5, but they really want 4 and to have a movie afterwards. It's in the Comic-Con Lost panel, if you need a reference. Check the podcast: http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/podcasts/111248.html
- ventro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3He spliced the clips in a slightly incorrect order, but still, good work.
- danmac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Lost doesn't own the beach. All beaches on Oahu are state property and are publicly accessible.
- DrewBlood, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2NumbCore: http://www.bittorrent.com
TenebrousX: I remember missing a lot of the X-Files early seasons because I had football games those nights. - neave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Try this dude: http://www.youtube.com/v/oWn7E4dKOyU
it's not the original movie file but it might work better for ya - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6Hmmm... He doesnt sound Danish? He was supposed to be danish... But he doesnt sound Danish...
- playedalive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Ive been following the whole thing, but how did they get on the set in the first place?
- wilsonics, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2uTorrent! http://www.utorrent.com and http://www.isohunt.com are your friends.
Be well. Be lost. - whalesalad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Haha we weren't part of any Lost Experience, do i need to video tape it next time? jeez.
- Virion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2How would IETab work in Linux? It requires IE and is intended for Windows, as far as I know.
- FcukDt7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lost_Experience
- NateFishler, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3For all of you fools that think these pics are fake piss off. We passed a cop sleeping in his car on the way out. For all of those who tell us we're uncool for taking a look around get real: you would have done the same thing - I promise. Imagine walking down the beach and seeing sawyer's tent and eko's church... Hello?!
Live the dream. - foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The Hanso website has been "hacked". no doubt because Season 3 is approaching.
I just founed http://www.thehansofoundation.org/adkahdskja2897429834ahjkncawuye32782374/hanso_noshutdown.swf
From the Wikipedia article.
Enjoy - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1One quick questions, why does the fat guy never lose any weight? I mean seriously they have been on the island for awhile now and he hasn't dropped pounds yet, what is up with that.
- Virion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1They've shown him eating as a way to cope, for one (has a secret stash of food), and also hasn't it been more like roughly two months? Between the passed time and the stash I could see him not losing much.
- danmac, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2The set was totally unattended, and btw I wasn't there those picks are not of me (this is my friends flickr account) just some friends of mine (was working when they decided to go). This set is at police beach in Haleiwa Hawaii.
- timdorr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ABC broadcasts in 720p, so it should come in at that res for Verizon, too.
- Virion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1N/M, seemed you figured it out below in a completely different post/thread.
- spiffyfitz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Those are some pretty hefty typos. Thanks for the link, though :)
- OOTay, on 10/12/2007, -16/+17Hanso and Lost just confuse the hell out of me..
- Protoss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Actually its only been 50 or so days.
- Arkz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i wasnt paying much attention :p but he said he was using wine, therefore windows on linux... altho ff would view em fine in windows... i know what he meant now... i just hadnt had coffee yet when i replied
