Halo 3 Alternate Reality Game!

I'm new here. I had a registration but it seems it was deleted due to inactivity. In any case, I believe Ive cracked part of the Halo 3 ARG. Im not sure if I am the first to crack this piece, but I dont really care if I am credited or not. Decency is more than you can expect from the web.

And here is my spoiler:
I made my breakthrough here! The 3D object that can be viewed at will, can not actually be viewed from any angle as the wikipedia article states. After reading through all the non-member material at the Society of the Ancients site, I had an imprint of the monitor-like shapes that were prevalent there. The last one that appears in Tanzania, links with the halo 3 website comic, but I have not had time to delve into that yet. I have photographic memory, and it snapped every time I saw the monitor shape on the 3D object. If you force the object to stop with the mouse, and you hover over specific monitor shapes they start glowing. The glowing shapes can be clicked, which initiates a download of content. The content is taken from a video which emerges after you click several shapes. The video is too fast to make out on first watch, but I do not believe there is a special combination of click that triggers it, so you can see it many times over. The content which is downloaded is the real breakthrough though. Check it out.

So, yeah... Im still looking at this. I just started 15 minutes before I made the above discovery.

Cheers

the funniest thing about this all is by the time you realize this is a pointless message it's too late to stop reading.
