2nite I went to go see the Ft. Z " spinning black square" for myself. Yep it was there, but also was something else...... If mentioned B4 then my apologies. There are 4 smaller squares w/ the same pattern, about 50+ ft. apart, not spinning, all oriented in the same direction & forming a square around the larger one. Once again if posted B4. Surely this hasn't gone unnoticed?

mentionned those to tadd yesteray! he told me they are known but there is no explanation/purpose for them yet. he also mentionned there are many others throughout the map ie; under the airport...

Damit! i had som snap of them but deleted them to make space...

 

 

I found this black square a while ago when I glitched through the wall in the 'sewer' near the beach. I was looking towards the airport. So this black square is under the airport in my opinion.

When you shoot at it, this happens:

Is this one of the squares mentioned above? And I have flown over the airport with a helicopter but I haven't found anything but that means nothing actually. Could be I was trying with the wrong conditions or the wrong altitude.

Heres something from awhile ago if you are interested to read, forgot about it until a while ago, I know Rockstar got a real kick out of this, and at the time I wondered if they would ever reference it in future games somehow someway,

 

I only remembered it from the "The world is 157 years old" thing from the Epsilon tract with Nikola Tesla somehow being referenced. He invented AC/DC so technically in the GTA universe that could count as the big bang for existance ...sorry doesnt make alot of sense just tryna make something connect! Maybe this actuality is Epsilons "secrets of the universe"?

 

The Journey in GTA IVs radio, the host made many implications to the player or the listener the world was all a computer simulation( GTA Universe/ Liberty City) and your avatars (Niko& the NPCs) are just not advanced enough mentally to realise, this is where im getting this crazy train of thought.

 

Now I know thats some real outside the box thinking but just thought id post the article regardless it is an interesting read some of you will find interesting even if totally off topic, worth it if you have a few moments.

 

Actuality in philosophy (Socrates I think?) is the state of something actually existing, as opposed to potentiality which is the state of possibility that a thing could exist.

 

Consider a block of stone...

 

There exists the possibility for a statue to exist within that block, but it has not yet been carved. In this state the statue is only a potentiality.

 

Only once the statue has been carved does it become an actuality.

Since lights coming from strange spots on the map seems to be a popular topic lately, while flying around Mt. Chiliad earlier, I ended up spotting a strange light coming from a storm drain(at least thats what I think its called) near the sawmill.

If I got any closer to it, or if I tried to zoom in with the phone camera, it would dissapear. Probably just a texture glitch but you never know.

follow the white rabbit

[cocogen2003]

has anyone inquired as to the meaning of this sign at the homeless camp. Mostly the "Save in- home" part...was looking for clues to why the 6 isnt present or fully present on the sand glyph. and the fact that there are 6 slots on the hippy camp mound which could or could not imply there's a missing boxed "X" in the mural...i dont know, my brain is racked with things and ive been up and down the map, land sea and air looking.

and another thing, noticing the illuminati or references to it seemingly play a role in the game, this is the illuminati diamond

so i was thinkin there might be a sign or poster or graffity in game that we have overlooked simply because we did not read a message within the message. just throwin idea's out there

I think R* are speaking not to Franklin, Michael or Trevor here, but directly to us all.

 

Good advice for anyone cares to listen.

I just simply walk through the wall. I'm looking to buy a capture card, just a average one. Just for capture, I don't want to stream. Anyone good ideas? Or can be my secret santa haha.

Anyways, I will try to make a 'tutorial' tonight. I'm at work right now.

 

EDIT: It works online too, just letting you know. I'm staning in front of the square, sorry. But it's there, trust me.

this is just sunrise in a specific weather character, when looking in the direction of the human lab you see it more often.

what is the small circle below?

[TirkaneX]

If you consider 12/6>North/south and 9/3>West/east, this could indicate a place to go... And the little circle a sort of "you are here".

I believe the movie contact is actually a modern-day recreation about the wow signal event

with a few conspiracy theories thrown into it

 

but there is a rather odd image on the wall in Lester's house that kind of reminds me of the mathematical formula they end up using to solve the puzzle in the movie

 

this one....

 

in the middle of that triangle or whatever thats a wind turbine

[cocogen2003]

i found a black suburban, like the ones at the little shacks, parked in the parking lot. probably random, but im gonna see if i cant open any of the semi open garage doors with the forklift

 

edit: no luck with doors, but before i was taking off in my chopper a trucker raced down the dock got out and started shooting at me¿¿¿

Thank you! Now I know haha.

sorry, i was talking about the PostOp parking lot where the clock is. and a Black suburban like the ones near the shacks with the Scientist and Agents. but as i was leaving this area i saw a reflection similar to the green one that captivated everyone some pages back, this one was blue and seemed to have the same characteristics of the green one.

it is the section of water directly west of the PostOp building. i pictured the sky to show no moon or sun that would cause it.

 

edit: Was using michael at the time, seems relevant.

it remains to find an orange reflection ... good job

has anyone inquired as to the meaning of this sign at the homeless camp. Mostly the "Save in- home" part...

 

I saw this answered a few months ago, at least the "save in-home" part. I thought it was some clue about not using quick save, and only saving at safehouses. I learned that during the game's development, there were protests taking place in California concerning government-funded "in-home healthcare services". These "in-home" services were being denied and cut from annual budgets, so the phrase "Save In-Home" became a common rallying cry.
