“The heart of the mystery is a gif of a glowing red orb, hovering above a dirt road in a forest of tall, bare trees. This gif has been tweeted by a bunch of game-related accounts, including GOG, Humble Bundle, streaming service XSplit, wiki folks Gamepedia, and PC makers Origin PC (no relation to EA’s store). The only thing they have in common is that they’re all liked and retweeted by Devolver, who tweeted the glowing orb in the first place.”
“It’s fairly clear this is a tease of a new game developed by No Code and published by Devolver, but they’re keeping any more details under wraps. We reached out to Devolver for comment, and their helpful, laconic reply was simply: “Secrets”.”
Very far-fetched – they have no reason to go into the video game realm with their ARG, if they’re playing one. However, I’m gonna download this game as soon as it’s released because it looks RAD af!
i haven’t taken an english class since high school, can you please explain the thing
I composed a short work of dramatic literature to explain the thing:
Us: TFP is fake, all of S4 is surreal, nothing makes sense, nothing gets resolved, this isn’t these characters’ reality
Talalay: I’m just a pawn in this theatre of the absurd lol
Theatre of the Absurd: Greetings, I am a form of theatre which depicts the human reaction to a world without meaning or purpose. Which…pretty much means that I inspire my audience to pursue the opposite of that world, in much the same way that you’re all trying to land the damn plane, but anyway: I take the form of works of drama which lack logical construction, and/or which depict people as being controlled by outside forces (and, often, as going around in circles). You might remember me from Waiting for Godot? My characters are frequently trapped in an incomprehensible setting and subjected to illogical occurrences, and sometimes they are being menaced by something – often an invisible force, but not always – which defies explanation. I’m really into themes of absence, and unsolved mysteries, and things generally going unexplained. Mind the gap and all that.
You think there’s a secret 4th episode. That’s GREAT. I agree, there were a lot of things that don’t make any sense in S4 and we could use some explaining. Don’t stop believing. 🌟
You don’t believe there’s a secret 4th episode. That is also GREAT. I agree Mofftiss are assholes and it’s hard to trust them. You don’t want to get your hopes up and get hurt again. 💖
Biggest reason for me to wish for a 4th ep: S4 lacked heart, was riddle with plot holes and I can’t believe they did that to the Three Garridebs
Biggest reason for me to not believe in a 4th ep: The horrible disappointment and Mofftiss themselves.
You think you’re a better fan because you’re in one camp or the other? Then fuck right off! We can believe in/hope for different things without being assholes to each other.
1) they were considering titling the episode backlash? What? This implies that they knew the public would hate it. Their argument that they knew the public wouldn’t like anything they did because Sherlock is popular and that’s what happens to all popular things makes absolutely NO sense. Im sorry, but if this anecdote is true, it adds evidence to the show getting reichenbached.
2) Mark states that series 3 of League of Gentlemen was initially panned but is now seen as a masterpiece. As a LoG nerd, let me say: I wasn’t around when s3 initially aired but I literally can’t imagine it getting bad reviews? I loved it the first time I watched it and loved it more with each rewatch? Certainly there was no drop off in production quality or writing. And I did just a bit of digging and I don’t see any evidence whatsoever that the series got the reviews that Sherlock is getting. Which leads me to:
3) Just gonna put this out there for the tin foil hat squad. The plot of s3 of LoG was that each episode appeared to be a stand alone, but when you get to the last episode you see that every episode’s plot is actually intertwined via a car crash at the very end. So. That’s a thing.
Either we’re right or some troll just reached God level.
(Obs we’re right)
I’m gonna guess this one is probably some fan joke, which seems a bit mean but also rather brilliant.
Okay WAIT. The text is barely visible to begin with, and it goes black and vanishes when you move your cursor over it. That’s the SAME concept as ‘Uncle Rudi’, where the harder you try and look the less you see, deflecting our ability to try and find meaning. HELP.
