Commander: Site with cryptic video gets an equally cryptic picture

Recommended Videos

Last weekend, we spotted a creepy viral video for what IGN believes to be a Wii-exclusive title due out in 2009. I had my old German professor attempt to translate the entirety of the piece, but she wasn’t able to catch anything audible (other than the screaming) in the closing seconds. The Web site hosting the video now has a cryptic image (above) that doesn’t need language translation — only artistic.

What the hell does the picture convey? I haven’t the slightest clue, and I’m not sure Frau Wuthrich could drop me any hints. It features blocks, the color grey, and quite a few reticules.

The image’s file name reads “J_BN_POMZ_B_NBO.” The lovely Professor Pew and I were able to crack the wicked hard shifted alphabet code (-1) in a matter of seconds. Once decoded it reads, “I AM ONLY A MAN.”

I suppose that rules out Starcraft Ghost. PS EPFT JU?
