Some of you may have seen this. Its just a small teaser for the resident evil 5 trailer coming out soon. After watching for a while you'll notice a boy walking around.

I however spotted something hidden in this.
Going to the source of the video(which displays at very low detail)

You will notice the object floating around in the top left corner. I have no idea what it is. However if anyone can report this to QJ.net or 360fanboy.com please do. I was trying to post it at QJ but there register system refuses to send me the confirmation email so I can sign in.

Figured that however you see no trace whatesoever of it in the normal video.

Also am I the only person not seeing the boy walk across the screen?! I feel like everyone else is on crack. Its a like 5 second long video that just repeats over and over, even the sound restarts every 5 seconds or so. Ive watched it for like 5 mins straight and didnt see this kid.

There is no boy as far as I saw, and there is no image of a boy present when decompiling the swf.

I saw a man walk across the screen, knock on the door and walk back.

Approximate time?

Edit: Hmm. Don't know how I missed it the first time I sat there for a while. Saw it now though. I suppose the flash loads the background from an external file, which would account for the lack of images within said flash file. But yes, I see the person now. He walks up,waits about 10-15 seconds, then walks back. Takes place between 1-3 minutes of watching.

zomgosh someone moves the camera

I also find the javascript down the bottom confusing...Intentional or not?

Look at it for like 5 minutes I guess? He'll come eventually.

Once Again I watched this for over 5 mins with no sign of the boy. However I did discover the second timer is a fake. It stays on 63:31:00-63:32:59 then repeats. Anyone else find anything in this?

EDIT: Just reloaded the page the second timer is now stopped at 72:00:00, can anyone tell me if its like that on theres?

This was also posted on QJ.Net:

Soooo... I left that site up and just stared at it for quite some time trying to figure things out.

topTimer+bottomTimer=150:30:00
Probably doesn't mean anything, but no matter what time it's at, that's what it equals.

There has to be a trigger for the guy appearing. I've waited a while now and haven't gotten it. It's either a random draw or on a specific time interval.

Tural is the second timer stopped on 72:00:00 for you now? No matter how many times I reload its stuck on that.

Mhm.
Also, about every 5 minutes or so it pulls something from the server, as is indicated by the status bar text, "transferring data from www.capcom.com" and the like.

Yea I noticed that while waiting. Seeing as how the second timer stopped, I assume something will happen soon.

I hope so. I'm incredibly bored without my 360, else I wouldn't even care about the site, as I have no interest in the game.

Bolth the timers are broken. The first always starts at 87:28:28 maybe a significant time? The other is just frozen.

EDIT: Nvm, the first timer just takes like 5 minutes to update.

The Background flash makes it look like the camera lenses is broken.

Halomods should start its own Xbox360 news site like 360fanboy and QJ.net. Theres a lot of active members here who would likely be willing to chip in and help it become one of the top news sites. Many a times have I looked at these news sites and been more up to date then they are.

Random and most likely will not work.
