Only if you take a video of it so we can all enjoy!

Here's the link I used. Went home early so I could post it without any errors:

It's only 404ing now for me though... So maybe Shane took that down since then?

What about with wires? You can make a penguin fly with wires, at least in a SFX studio. Or CGI.

 unless you hold them under :p

I think that would just make another sad or possibly dead penguin lol

I think all the information we need is contained in trust_me's posts and the pain.asp page. We just have to figure out how to decipher the info to come up with the next page or image or whatever to get the next clue.

I believe what trust_me is getting at in his last post is that he is telling us "concrete" clues just by telling us what we are doing wrong and trying to help us focus in the right place. I don't think we necessarily need what is in the PMs to solve this, but they are hints on where we are going wrong.

While I do like that approach, they way that I took Trust_Me's last post was that when Sleepee said "We should've been able to solve this clue only with the information provided on http://evga.com/12/pain.asp." Shane was considering that a bold statement. TBH he could be calling anything in that statement bold. Darn him

Look at what trust_me put in bold and underlined of Sleepee's post. It was his statement about trust_me's PMs not providing concrete clues. Telling us we are on the wrong track is a pretty concrete clue, but is not necessarily required to solve the puzzle.
 
Remember, think simple. The key is always to use the given information to decipher something that when found will obviously be the right answer.

I am not in on anything, but has anyone looked through the different pages of EVGA for hidden penguins? I skipped about 4 pages of the thread, so I might have missed that.

I have been through lots and lots of source code and found nothing. Maybe I am not looking at the right pages. Also, one member did find this http://evga.com/12/penguin.png

Probably a dumb idea. I remember last year we had the scavenger hunt looking for the gold stars. I was thinking maybe this one will be to find penguins. Or maybe even just one page with a penguin on it, then check that pages source code???

But the Scavenger Hunt started after the GAME was over. I would imagine there will be something again this year for the anniversary, but this is a bonus for regulars that want to spend their time trying to solve the puzzle.

Seems to be a painful bonus. Not onlyfor Trust_me, but the seekers too.

Remember this was posted in the folding contest.  "No more games" could mean we need to fold instead of playing games. 
 
"Help the penguin fly" has me stumped though.  Does penguin = linux, a fellow folder, or something else?  I think that's where we're struggling to connect the dots.

These are the kinds of things going through my mind, if anyone was interested. The bold letters are what I have pulled out and tried in different combinations to try to find directories or files. Extensions I have been trying (.asp, .png, .jpg, .gif, .tif, .bmp, .aspx). Anyone else that wants to give them a try, go ahead.

The "remove three years" got me thinking about using every third letter in some manner.

Okay i like where this is going. What about for the "remove three years" trust_me wants us to remove the third letter in years? 
 
years
01234        =    evga.com/12/yeas
 
or 
 
years
12345       =    evga.com/12/yers
 
 
EDIT: both 404'd 

I've been wondering if "help the penguin fly" are the words we should be ignoring on the pain page, a long shot.
 
I did try counting word positions to "help" "the" "penguin" "fly" to see if they mapped to ascii char codes (to no avail), to spell a 4 letter word.

I noticed trust_me's avatar changed to what looks like something from the band Tool. 
 
 
 
That "Help the penguin fly" game linked to before was by a user named The_Tool. 
 
Maybe I'm off my rocker, but maybe there is a hint in that thread?
 
EDIT: tried evga.com/12/pingwin, pingwin1, tool, the_tool, ESALADUANE, helicopter, and parsec with .asp, .png, .jpg, .gif, .tif, .bmp, .aspx to no avail.

Would him saying how this word game has removed three years from his life and how he supposes it has helped sparing him from enjoying the golden years of his life with his favorite dog mean anything?
This sentence to me just doesnt sound right like it is missing something or am i just overthinking this.
"I suppose you help sparing me enjoying the golden years with my favorite dog"
 
I am not very good at these things so my idea may be going in the wrong direction.
