...That's no chain. That's a space station!

Oh no! We've been captuered in a ray of sorts.

When he says 'chain' maybe he means 'treasure hunt'?

I guess it's some kind of code??

Okay it's pissing me off now, I just spent like ten minutes just staring at it trying to figure this thing out and even if I somehow can see some small resemblance to letters in the blackspace I don't get anything, just tell you tard

Ok well I tried testing it just to make sure it works and it didn't. So I made a new one, tested it and it works.

You read braille, I find it hard to speak in a language that you are supposed to feel.

You lie, only Chuck Norris can speak braille.

He also communicates well with women, where as apparently you (and most of us) can not.

Nah, you don't want to follow it then don't follow it, but don't try to sound all smart by speaking for everyone and telling me to lose my thread. You won't threaten the answer out of me, if you're not up to the challenge then too bad. Besides, there have been some really close tries at this and it's not that hard to begin with; the only reason it wasn't solved already was because of a small calculation error on my part that broke the pattern in the image. I predict it will be solved before Sunday.

So what's the point of this anyway? If it just translates to someone holding down shift and pressing all of the number keys to the top of their keyboard and then saying "Follow the 8-bit Binary Maze" then what was the point of even making this thread?

That's not what it translates to, that was hidden in the image file, no one has actually 'decoded' the image.

Diggsey, I don't quite get it, do I rename the image link .rar or do I download the image and rename it as .rar? I tried both and they didn't work...

Mooey won't open? Are you running Windoez? Even though it shouldn't matter, I made it in c++ (ms visual c++ 2008 express) and never used any windows-proprietary stuff; Mooey is supposed to open >.>

If you are running windows and it won't open, try changing the compatibility options?
