What's in the box?
Thanks to Rock Paper Scissors, I found this incredibly done real-life fan video based on half life 2.

A couple of important things. First thing to notice is that it says "Character audiotrack missing". Gordon Freeman anyone?
Second of all, the video has a strange black box, while the video has the text "What's in the box?".
The video is also very vague. It has been determined that it was filmed in the Netherlands. The video description says that it's an early temp version and will be deleted soon. It then links to a website.
The website itself looks simple at first. It's just the box. However, there's a string of alphanumerical characters that change rapidly near the bottom. They don't really make much sense from the couple of screenshots I took. If you move the mouse over the black box, certain letters turn into question marks.Those letters that turn into question marks read like this:
O ION NTS ST WHAT IS IN THE BOX
TIM CREA ST O ECTOR PHY BAUT MSMI
S TH IMS EEU S DITOSM CE E MIT UT
DITION R ER URIOOST D AR
Also, the source of the page contains this:
<-- Every medium, as its ancestors ->
<-- Every pro, has his anti's, now you think about that ->
I thought the video itself was impressive, but now this person managed to create this whole mystery behind it. How can this thing only have 3000 views? I haven't seen a good puzzle like this in a while.

Acutally, I think it's supposed to be that the maincharacter has been out for days
edit: also, I found this linked in the stylesheet (anti.css)
