ok the next clue hint thingy under it says:
"if you aim to find the truth, you will uncover tom canty instead of edward
(to err is human, without the colony, you would have been misled by the error)"
ok tom canty is from "the Prince and the Pauper" by Mark Twain. And I'm almost positive that the quote "to err is human, without the colony, you would have been misled by the error", Colony is covering up the next clue that has to do with thinking the prince is the pauper or vise versa. So onces we figure out what colony is replacing the opposite of that should be the next clue.... or at least thats my thinking lol what does anyone else think? _________________ Blue Chaos

The original quote is from Benjamin Franklin guys. To err is human, to repent divine; to persist devilish. He is on the $100 bill. Not sure where this is going yet.... but since they are talking about the Prince and the Pauper _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

Ok, A lot of people on other boards have been talking to Gamem8ker on AIM.
"if you aim to find the truth, you will uncover tom canty instead of edward "
This is not a chellange but advice.
As in if you use aol instant messenger to uncover the secret, you will get the fake (tom canty) instead of the truth (prince edward)
Thats my view anyway

Strange, I would not have guessed that one.
From Team Xbox:"It’s 4:35 a.m. down here and I can’t sleep. Something tells me I have to wake up; there’s something waiting for me in the middle of this cold night. As soon as I log into MSN, I find Tony (Nomb), our badass programmer, is also having sleeping problems.
We have our usual “what’s up” night chat when a new post in our forums tells us there is a new image at ourcolony.net. Apparently the correct solution to the latest challenge was important, because it revealed the url to a brand new secret image, available only for 3 – 5 minutes.
The secret is a never before seen render of a red car; you can tell it is CGI but it looks so realistic! There are some people in the background as well and they look like in-game sprites rather than real people from a photo.
“Are we seeing the very first image of Project Gotham Racing 3?” is the first question that comes to our mind. The cherry red car, which always adorned the box art of previous Project Gotham Racing titles, is a fairly strong indication.
In addition, it’s known fact Bizarre Creations is working on a next-generation title using IDV's SpeedTreeRT API, so realistic outdoor environments are a no-brainer.
While we are still contemplating the secret image, Nomb wonders what would happen if he loads the screen in a binary editor. Tony does his magic and finds out some incredible stuff inside the image file. Using his tools, Tony loads the image in a hex editor and all the sudden the ones and zeros that make that image.
OMG! What are we looking at? Let’s dissect this line:
“C.a.r.R.e.n.d.e.r.3.6.0._M.a.g.a.z.i.n.e._.C.o.v.e.r.”
It’s pretty obvious this “car render” will become a “magazine cover”, probably OXM. But definitely the most important part of that illuminating line is the “360” which would be the first official unofficial confirmation that the next Xbox will be named Xbox 360 or that the car in the image is the Ferrari 360 Modena.
This Alternate Reality Game (ARG) is affecting our sleeping patterns, and we’re eagerly waiting for the next bone to be thrown our way by the infamous Gamem8ker. I wonder now if living in ARGentina is also affecting me… "
