Hello those of the Bright Hammer club. I don't think this is an ARG either. But I really hope it's not just for merch discounts.
Anyways here's some extra thoughts of mine that might spark up something:
The logo appears in 1 single frame of each video, therefore the time code for it may be significant. 1/30th of a second. Timecodes: 8:21, 4:32, 10:50, 7:19, 1:50
Grant appears and does different hand movements, one being him pointing to his shirt in video #3 - ?.? the names of the shirts may be significant. RNDM Crown, Carpe Diem, "Where There's A Drill, There's a Way," "Look Mom, No Hands!," RNDM Nation
Video #3 Grant points to his "Where There's A Drill, There's a Way" shirt - the tabletop drill in the background of most videos has "AW06009" written on it
Video #3 is a TJOT video not TKOR
Video titles have changed, TKOR do change their video titles frequently, but I feel like they would have had these set in stone if they were part of the clue. Nevertheless, here are the original video titles: 1. The SECRET is IN the SHIELD - 2. GHOST SOUL Bubble Drinks - 3. I Slept in This for 8 Hours Straight - 4. This Happened - 5. Molten Metal in a Vacuum Chamber ---- maybe the all CAPS words, past and present?
Video #5 Nate uses hackertyper during the NordVPN ad, but this may just be because of the spon, ?.? or maybe to encourage using ciphers meaning it's not going to be such a simple thing to figure out
The deeper I go analyzing the videos, the more silly my thoughts become. But I sincerely hope this will be more than just discount codes....
>But I really hope it's not just for merch discounts.
Yeah, me too :)
> Grant appears and does different hand movements, one being him pointing to his shirt in video #3 - ?.? the names of the shirts may be significant.
Yeah, I agree that the hand movements and shirts may be significant. The shirts are what is drawing me to their merch store (they have two it seems - one on . It occurs to me that the hosts are also wearing different shirts from their merch store in each of the videos, but given that the videos would have been filmed a month ago I'm not reading too much into that.
>Video #3 is a TJOT video not TKOR
They have been using varied intros for a while now, and I've seen the TJOT intro on at least one other video, so I wouldn't read too much into this. It has occurred to me that it might be worth checking the intros frame by frame though, as some of the images flash by pretty quickly and it would be easy to miss if something was hidden there.
>Video #5 Nate uses hackertyper during the NordVPN ad, but this may just be because of the spon, ?.? or maybe to encourage using ciphers meaning it's not going to be such a simple thing to figure out
The format of this ad seemed vastly different to their usual sponsored videos, which struck me as a bit odd, but it might also be nothing.
I got it at Bed Bath and Beyond, but they have them on Amazon, too. There's a few different brands, I think this is the one I used.
It's very similar to this stuff which is used in gardening to help retain moisture. It's non-toxic and would just get into your soil.
I thought the same thing. Something similar to this (non-affiliated Amazon link), ~~but instead of the silver grip its that yellow acrylic you find on wood chisels.~~ EDIT: I think it is probably a cap for the exacto knife.
