 		One of the theories floating around (seen on Reddit and SA) is that the inhabitants of current Milwaukee are plant-based life forms that have an awkward understanding of humanity... which totally makes sense considering that they love Ham BURGers and luh-zag-ni-uh.

Reddit wrote:
All life in milwaukee was destroyed by a bioengineered creature, Go.D.S.E.E.D, created by Blackstar. The creature was eventually forced into dormancy and buried under the city.

The city was quarantined and new life rose up in the form of plant based lifeforms that mimic humans. The plant based lifeforms mimic humans based on limited information found in Milwaukee and thus end up slightly awkward with a misunderstanding of art, church, fine cuisine, and certain social concepts.

These aliens take over Blackstar and reopen the city, attempting to entice former residents and others back to the city.

Unfortunately the Go.D.S.E.E.D is not fully dormant and there are breaches in the containment allowing some of the Go.D.S.E.E.D remnants to leak out and attack and infect people, hence the need for different levels of building codes, re-breathers, flair guns, and traveling in packs.


And this post on SA points out all the weird alien-y stuff. Spooky...who are we talking to on the phone, amirite?

(Also this now totally explains something that was bugging me... which was - from an in-game/this is not a game perspective - why a Travel and Tourism bureau would have 1) hired a company not from Milwaukee, 2) put credits on the end which are obviously linked to real people and actors which were traceable, and 3) allowed it to be so obviously filmed in NYC.)

It's not perfect, but it's late at night and all I had to work from were some blurry caps of YouTube vids. Wink I'll revise it once some better images are out there.

Now, print, color and share your work!


you are my favorite. Very Happy

Awesome, Big T!

I notice that on the note, it looks like it was originally 414-668-8417, then an 8 is written over the the second 6, making it 414-688-8417.

Maybe try the alternate number tomorrow? It's late on the east coast now.



I tried it - number doesn't exist, I'm afraid.

Perhaps we're looking at it the wrong way. Maybe this map isn't telling us what is flooded, but what was overrun with Godseed Fragments.

So technically, the green bits could still be the affected areas, but since it's not a flood, it loosens restrictions (flooded areas unintuitive, non-green areas where water should be).


The map transposing is all a crap shoot in my mind. Maybe the map means something but I was just toying with as to what.


Agreed.

Especially seeing as it is a map of ancient Earth (or near enough - there are some differences) Smile

 		UWM Post
In my earlier post, I was mentioning the misspelling in the credits regarding the UWM post.

I was not attempting to point to the Post as a possible in-game element, but that the misspelling was there, and there are a lot of them scattered throughout the video.

I'm in total agreement that the Post is legit, and was in existence LONG before the game.

Off topic... but this reminded me of a line from the 40 Year Old Virgin:

"You've gotta wait till the seed grows into a plant. Then you've gotta f--- the plant. "

 		map
hey guys, lurking milwaukee expat here (probably register soon)...

i agree that the map needs to be seen as almost completely amorphous until we have a solid reason to believe otherwise. originally, i was looking at the map as green being water, then tan being water... but as the point has been raised, this could be some other statisical or political map altogether.

could someone post the text from the map scene alongside the map? perhaps we're missing some clue in the words.

Probably a trout and we're probably way past this but hey, it was bugging me lol.

This will turn into the Cloverfield, "Hey, guys, you can flip those pictures around" post.

 		I'm curious about whether the disaster zones / missing cities is in the US only, or if it applies to other parts of the world too. I'm tempted to try and talk to Mike tonight and see if I can get some information about the UK and Europe... depending on what comes of that, might be interesting to try and find out about other parts of the world too. Is this a global disaster or is it limited to the US?

I couldn't tell in the youtube video, but in the high definition video, during the instructional video for teens, there is sort of an RPG style fight when the godseed fragments meet the group of teens. Rebreathers appear above two of the teens heads and they both take 100 damage, the one without the rebreather received 299, so I'm guessing that perhaps the godseed fragments are harmful if inhaled.

Also, in the slides, the slide in which it was speculated that it looked like water surging down a hallway, is definitely what we thought.

This image is also quite odd;

You can see through the upper part of the wall. Notice how the windows are still intact, but you can see the support beams towards the top of the wall, almost like the windows/paneling are transparent.


This looks like a double exposure or that the image is projected onto the wall.

I don't know what you mean by that... But the whole time throughout 38 pages it's been mentioned these things are 'more into' teenagers, than adults.

In that photo w/ Nanny at the radio or w/e it was; the words "Sneet Sneet" had to be flipped upside down to get that. - I'm saying if they were flipped back to front it would spell out "Teens. Teens." Not Sneet. Sneet. - Which is more relevant and would make a little more sense. See below.



Edit: Infact the pic itself is labeled teensupsidedown
