Title: Two Universes, the Same Subliminal Messages?
Post by: nightcrafter27 on June 22, 2010, 21:15:42
We already know that most of the Firefly/Serenity cast were voice actors for ODST. For a refresher, here's the list:

[crazytalk]Buck and Mal have something else in common. Mal fought in a war against the empire called the Alliance, and is now a smuggler. Buck fought on Reach against the Covenant. Where do these come together? The Covenant is an alliance of several different alien species.[/crazytalk]

I might have found another link. To keep it short, this (http://www.hulu.com/watch/26009/serenity-subliminal-message) happens. After some future-y computer dissection of the ad, a message is found. I believe the exact words are "It's subliminal. A subliminal message." (spoken by Mal) Very shortly after, binary is shown on the screen. I am going to try and decode the binary, if it isn't just 0101010101 repeated endlessly.

I know it my lead nowhere, but it gives me something to do.

Before I say anything:
What does subliminal mean in this context?

The ad has some code stuff hidden in it where (I guess) only River/people with River's special condition will find it.

So the binary doesn't look too promising. It is very separated, has made up symbols here and there, and it scrolls. In the short time you see it, it would be impossible to tell when it starts. It looks like so;
010    10&0     1   1 0$1    00  01   1$  1 01&0    1   0$0&00 00   1   00$ $0  00 011   &0   100    1 0$1    1&10    0 1  1 00&1  00$0   00 0  1&1   10 10$0 01  1   01  00&$0 01   10   01$01 0 01&00   0$00 01&000&1   11 0101   000$0

That isn't the real thing. What I copied down, before I realized the aforementioned problems:

So I have nothing other that a movie recomendation, now. Oh well.

Hmmm... Strange. I guess they just wanted their video to be fancy. BTW you can use
Code: [Select]
Code for things like that.

Some more links.
Quote from: Wikipedia
Fillion plays the voice of a Marine Sergeant in the Xbox 360 game Halo 3. He is joined by his Firefly co-stars Adam Baldwin and Alan Tudyk who both voice marines. At one point early in the first mission, he identifies himself as "[Sergeant] Reynolds" over the radio, referring to his character's name from the TV series Firefly.
Can we confirm the Sergeant Reynolds part?

Also, at 7:56 in the ViDoc "Terra Incognita", you hear Buck use one of Nathan Fillion's  original phrases (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Bam%2C%20said%20the%20lady&defid=4176617). I would like to try and get an in-game recording of this, and see if we can find his other catchphrase (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=feed%20the%20birds).
