Foundonthetape

foundonthetape is a mysterious YouTube account, that has only posted 3 found footage-like videos on YouTube since its creation in 2011. The three videos have no specific name, and end with ".mp4". A video titled "Clip094.mp4" was uploaded on July 19, 2011, a video titled "Clip095.mp4" on July 23, 2011, and a video titled "Clip084.mp4" on July 29, 2011. 
If the content from the account's videos is decoded, it will lead the user into downloading custom Half-lIfe 2 maps.
The mysterious nature of this channel has even led to the creation of its own fandom.
Some of the channel's content is yet to be decoded.
== Map file 1 ==
The first map file address is obtained by decrypting the section that passes quickly after 11 seconds of the video named "Clip095.mp4". 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 needs to be arranged in a circle on the outside, A B C D E F on the inside. You can notice that there are only letters up to F, but this is hexadecimal, and decoding it with the Hexadecimal cipher will give you the megaupload address where you can download the first map file. (The site has disappeared and the map's original source is unavailable).
== Map file 2 == 
The numbers and letters: 
"666f756e646f6e7468657461706540676d61696c2e636f6d20656d61696c2031302e376d62", which were posted on the YouTube account, are Hex/ASCII code series codes, and when decrypted, an email address of "foundonthetape" appears. If you send an e-mail to this e-mail address, your e-mail account will automatically get an email with the following text "stuck im stuck im stuck im stuck im stuck (file download link)" Currently, the automatic response function is disabled, so even if you send an e-mail, no reply comes.
When the second map file (bsp file) is opened using a program called GCFscape, there is an audio file called taperedemption.wav among numerous audio files. 
== Map file 3 == 
For the third map file, decrypt the upper-left rotating triangle code starting at 32 seconds in the Clip084.mp4 video. This code is quite heinous;
First you have to run it in slow motion to capture all the shapes of this triangle, and then combine these randomly moving triangles one after another to rotate in order. Combination should be done paying particular attention to the point position. Some people have succeeded in cracking this nonsense code - As a result of decrypting the triangle cipher, the message "IM STILL STUCK EMAIL TAPEONTHE" appears. Only those who send 'TAPEONTHE' to the aforementioned foundonthetape email address will receive the third map file on a first-come, first-served basis.
The contents of the third map file progress and end like a maze.
== Map file 4 == 
This map file is revealed by decoding a binary code once posted on this YouTube account. If you decompile the map file (bsP) itself using a program called GCFscape, you can see that an audio file called radionoise1.wav is enclosed. "NOWAYOUT.NOESCAPE.FORSOLONG.SENDHELP.DONTFOLLOWTHENOISE.NOESCAPE" comes out.
The content of the fourth map file is also about wandering the maze, but at the end a monster named Armless chases after the player, and the map file crashes. Incidentally, this Armless is a monster that appeared briefly in 'Clip94.mp4'.
