follow this pattern to reveal the clues

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

 		I don't quite get what you mean by Qbert pattern, and have no idea where to go from here.

It's all well and good having the four clues, but they don't make a whole heap of sense. What are the clues pointing at? I know that they are all Trailheads of different ARGs but I can't find any links. Am I being thick?

Took me a while to find them. But you're already in the best place here. Smile

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Have a look in the archive section of these forums for old games and see what their trailheads were - even the names of the games are useful sometimes. Can't remember if that will get you all the way but it'll certainly help...

As Rand0m says, this is probably the best place to start. However:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
from looking through the archives, at least one of the Trailhead links appears to be broken...

 		I've arranged the letters in every possible Qbert combinations, of each letter in different positions. Still lost.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
1. How do you read the text, and how it is arranged?
2. What does this have to do with other ARG trailheads?

Gah, I feel so dumb, can't solve anything past a yellow Sad

 		Grahhhhh...

I've been scouring the archive forum, and either I'm incredibly dense or I just haven't seen the right places... I got #2 and #3, I think, but is there anyone willing to PM me the other two?

EDIT: I take it back, I found #1...
EDIT AGAIN: Aaand, I found #4. I think. Only, the site doesn't like my answers. Do I have to do anything like drop out the articles or something?
