Wait, David? Wonder what that is... For some reason I attempted putting it in a YouTube URL but no luck, meh I'm bad at this. It really looks like the end of a URL to me. XRZ9hOUIFec The I might be a lowercase L Could the I possibly be a 1 as well?

I JUST found out about this, so I apologize if this is the wrong place to put this, but I used to live in VA and still have several friends there, not TOO far from Richmond. I can ask one of them to look for the latest clue, if that would help. Where am I telling him to go?

It actually looks as though we might be able to skip that location, but if your friends wouldn't mind going, we certainly wouldn't mind hearing from them!

Wow, did I ever pick the wrong time to unplug! A new P&P video, and, a new Hunter! Holy cow! So, welcome to the Hunt, kreissack! You think your friend can get to Buckroe Beach? I will have to check new P&P vid when I get home since ive been at work all day and barely able to even post this msg. Cant really watch youtube here. Oh another thought, since I hant' seen the vid, but is that O possibly a zero? It's May 17, 2012, and this is whwere we are.

^Nathan's tweet. I guess that makes the string XRZ9h(0)U(1/l)Fec. I'll see if I can plug this in somewhere. editediteditedit: Looky.It was XRZ9h0UlFec, by the way.

Just combed through the vids, and I found two pieces of irrelevant floor-paper, and something significantly less irrelevant. VideoWelp, off to do something with it.

Nice work, Pyro.
6x6?
From Nathan, though I'm not quite sure what to make of it yet.

Okay, I'm back again. I finally have time to get on the net again and wow what a development! Interesting, about the video annotations. I guess, with a name like "Yamaguchi Recall", it must be some kind of memory recall of David's? Locks and keys, locks and keys.... I have a suspicion about this since I remember the precedent for locks and keys. Also, Nathan's tweet, AHA!!! I remember before, locks were files on dolst.com/gangadiddle so I tried that. dolst.com/gangadiddle/17x4 was a bust, resulting in an error, but... dolst.com/gangadiddle/17x4.html works! It links to dolst.com/gangadiddle/17x4.rar!! I'm trying more. Edit 2: Okay, so maybe this is what Nathan meant, because I don't find a 6x6 rar or html file, but, I noticed, there are 6 keys and 6 locks. That would fit with his "6/half dozen" quote. Anyway, here is what we have: Locks: 17x4 31x5 34x5 28x5 message timexsinclair Keys: cinnamon mandible justice spectrumvariant grow words All the locks, you can make links from: dolst.com/gangadiddle/17x4.htmldolst.com/gangadiddle/31x5.htmldolst.com/gangadiddle/34x5.htmldolst.com/gangadiddle/28x5.htmldolst.com/gangadiddle/message.htmldolst.com/gangadiddle/timexsinclair.htmlThose all just lead to: dolst.com/gangadiddle/17x4.rardolst.com/gangadiddle/31x5.rardolst.com/gangadiddle/34x5.rardolst.com/gangadiddle/28x5.rardolst.com/gangadiddle/message.rardolst.com/gangadiddle/timexsinclair.rarSo now I have 6 rar files, and 6 keys, most likely the passwords to these files. I have no idea what order they are in so I will try them all and then mark them off as I go. Wish me luck! Edit 3: So it looks like......... we have another puzzle!! I have only got as far as 17x4.rar, which, its password is cinnamon. I opened it and got this: imageshack.us/photo/my-images/51/29833321.pngThe original file was called 1.png I'm not sure what to do with it, as of yet, but, I am sure it is some kind of a word puzzle. I will continue to try "key" passwords with "lock" rars. Edit 4: 28x5.rar's password is "grow". It gave me 2.png: imageshack.us/photo/my-images/39/96325700.pngEDIT: That 2nd one up there was originally a duplicate of the first one. My bad. Thanks to Chaosky who posted the rest.

Amazing work! Those really didn't strike me as being part of a URL.

This sucks! My internet went out on me last night before I could finish posting! Anyway, the other 2 number rars have more of those crossword-looking puzzles, then timexsinclair.rar (password spectrumvariant, I remember that one) has a picture of a keyboard, and message.tar (password: words lol) has something about someone buying CDs and something missing. It's on my other computer right now and I'm about to leave for work. Anyway, I'll post the rest tongiht unless someone else gets to it before me. It's Tuesday, May 22, 2012, and this is where we are.

So... I haven't had much luck. Hasn't helped that I've been lazy and took a break for two of the four days since I last posted, either. The most notable attempt I've made so far has been focused on attempting to fit the images together like we did with one of the s33k3r bytecodes. Problem is, I don't know where they might connect. At this point I'm assuming it's some sort of word search puzzle, but I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do. Has anyone else fared better? EDIT: Also, I noticed recently that the "timexsinclair" image has "x2" drawn in red over the f, g, and k keys. Dunno what that means, but, yeah.

Wooooooah >_< never done that kind of puzzle before, it's seriously confusing. I've tried a few things with it but tbh I'd better leave it to you smart folks...
