Babelien Lyrics, Do They Mean Anything?
Probably not.
 Now, you can strain your eyes and spot-check me on this all you want, but I think that's this: 01100111011010110 01010110111 101010111010001 01011101110100011 01011 10101000110 01100111011010110 01010110111 101010111010001 01100111011010110 01010110111 101010111010001 010111011110100011 01011 10101000110 01100111011010110 01010110111 It seems like, no matter how you splice it(plain text, hex, etc), you don't get anything that makes much sense. But if anyone else wants to take a crack at this, feel free. And if a Telltale employee wants to proclaim the futility of my squinting and transcribing for translation, they can do that too.

Yeah it's jibberish. Shame really, that had potential.

Yeah, if it's not possible to make anything out of it, that's a disappointing missed opportunity!
The fact that it's the same 6 lines repeated a few times in different orders does seem to indicate that it was randomly copied-and-pasted. |

Yeah, it's a shame. It should have been like this:
01110010 01101111 01100011 01101011 00100000 01101111 01101110 00100000 01100010 01100001 01100010 01111001 Or this: 01101100 01101001 01101101 01101111 01111010 01100101 01100101 01101110 00100000 01100001 01110010 01100101 00100000 01100001 01110111 01100101 01110011 01101111 01101101 01100101 By the way, those meant - rock on baby limozeen are awesome

Interestingly: All but one of the lines has an odd number of bits.
Coincidence? [edit] Actually, 2 (you have a typo in your fourth line, it's missing a '1'). Still they're the same line as each other. Actually, the whole thing seems to have a similar sort of pattern as you'd expect from a pop song's lyrics... most of the lines and two-to-three-line phrases are repeated a couple of times through the song. The individual lines don't look particularly random... it alternates too often for that (nearly 2/3 of the pairs of digits are alternating... which is about what people tend to do when making up random patterns of bits, but way more than the 1/2 you'd expect from a real random pattern).

It's really too bad.
I played through Mass Effect last week and there is one mission where an AI (or VI) had gone rampant. Just before you destroy it, it sent out one string of binary, constantly repeated on all radio bands. 01001000 01000101 01001100 01010000 |

Oh yeah, that was fucking CREEPY. And for those who look into this sort of thing...it really made you think about what you just did, and almost feel BAD about a fictional, artificial intelligence.
...I really do love western RPGs. |

Wow, now I wish I had finally gotten around to learning binary.

It's the developing lyrics of the song "Useful to Boot".
