Incredible thread, Mix! Must've taken you forever to put this together! Have some [brains]

One thing, though. The bit about the UN on the edge of the comic book. What if that is a nod to ununpentium (Element 115)? That's the first thing that came to my mind.

Insane thread. The Asylum is ridiculous. ;)

Oh it did take forever! I have been working on this literally since the teaser trailers for the Resurrection DLC came out.

Good catch about the Ununpentium. I've definitely considered it before, but somehow forgot to add it into my OP. Thanks for pointing that out. I've updated the OP with that info.

YAY, its good to be back.

 

Never thought I'd be scambling to get back in to the Asylum.

 

Lets get this place up & running again, we have experiments to perform, theories to test & debate.

 

Arhh, welcome back to the original nut house.

 

Regards Alpha.

At first I thought that was it, but now I'm not even sure anymore.

I don't know if that's an N or M. 52 and/or 25 could 62 and/or 26. And I don't know if the E is and E or not.

Regardless, if these are co ordinates, they written so weirdly that I don't know how to properly write them.

52N 16E led me to Poland, 25N 4E led me to Algeria.

Found a Moon conspiracy that may be the inspiration for the giant Samantha shadow we see here.

Here's two photos of the moon's surface that were taken during the Apollo 8 mission, showing what appears to be the same exact giant figure casting a shadow

The loading screen of BO3 is not the same as BO1 so can we say that the numbers are the same ?

Do you know where those two numbers lead to (at least, I assume it are coordinates)? Also, thank you for this clear image of the Moon loading screen! I'm gonna search what Cipactli, Ehecatl, Cali, Cuetzpalin and Coatl are. It is said that these things/creatures/beings are represented in a non-visible form in the MPD.

 

Btw, @Mods. How is it possible that this "zombie asylum" category is not on the main page? It has truly beautiful topics. Why is it something different than the already existing "Asylum" category?

"Have fun with papa in Poland. Mommy will miss you but she has work to do in Dresden"

 

I've seen that line too. Was it there in the old loading screen too or is it added in the new one? Two strange things:

 

>Der Riese was located in Germany in that time, not Poland. (Poland did exist, though).

 

>Samantha's mother died immediately after Samantha was born

I think it was, it was just incredibly hard to read in the original due to quality. To me, it feels like this was just the pre-timeline era and they may have had a different story for what happened to her mother, in which she possibly dies at a later time under a different circumstance.

Some words are missing on the new loading screen compared to the old one.

WHILE THEY LAST : Full ? ?

BALLOON : Decorative ? ? ? ?

POCKET TELEPORTER : Reintegration ? ?

THUNDER GUN : Authentic thunder weapon, shoots a blast that will knock you on your ? ? ?

 

Words are easy to guess as "Batteries sold separately", but the eyes of those naturally speaking English must be better than mine.

Took a look at those numbers or "coordinates" again: 238, 189 52N X 16E and 143, 115 28N X 4E.

 

Decided to google the first set and came up with this page:

 

http://www.anycheatcodes.net/pc_games/hints/Starflight-2-12233.html

 

It's hints for a game called Starflight 2 from 1989. It seems like you explore planets and find certain futuristic items.

 

The two coordinates from this loading screen match two on the page almost exactly:

 

unknown.png

 

Both point to a Black Egg much like the one in Moon. So why the hell did they put these on the loading screen of a zombies map? Maybe the Black Egg is a nostalgic nod to this old classic and this was a hint towards that?

 

The Black Egg in the game also seems to be used as a planet bomb, like how it is used with the rockets in Moon:

Awesome find, brains for that! So that's it, the solution to this debacle I always wondered about: Why did the Black Egg destroy Earth? I've considered something emitting Vril energy, the egg perhaps carrying Maxis' soul and even a Quantum Probability Weapon. A typical case of 'the easiest answer is right': It really was a mere planet bomb. Cool find, curious if the developers have played Starflight.

 

Also notice how Focussing Stone and Rod Device are also objects mentioned in that page.

Brian Tuey tweeted out a list of his favorite games, and Starlight is at the top! This seems to be clear cut confirmation:

With all the talk about the "Black Egg" AKA "Egg of the devil' I figured this should be here. 
Thanks again @Carnage Evoker for the footage. 

 

Basically you can see how the Black Egg essentially duplicates into 3 eggs, then each one of them is entered into the each rocket. This goes in similar to Starflight, where the Black Egg is used as a "planet bomb" to destroy a planet in the last section of the game (there are also 3 Black Eggs in both Starflight and Moon). So basically one can assume the Black Eggs are critical to fracture the earth as in-game.

"Have fun with papa in Poland. Mommy will miss you but she has work to do in Dresden"

 

Allow me to add that the work in Dresden may be a reference to what's known as the Dresden Codex:  

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dresden_Codex

 

1920px-Dresden_Codex_pp.58-62_78.jpg

 

"The Dresden Codex is a Mayan book, ... The codex was rediscovered in the city of Dresden, Germany, hence the book's present name."

 

"The book suffered serious water damage during World War II... It is written in Mayan hieroglyphs and refers to an original text of some three or four hundred years earlier, describing local history and astronomical tables."

 

"The Dresden Codex contains accurate astronomical tables, which are recognized by students of the codex for its detailed Venus tables and lunar tables. The lunar series has intervals correlating with eclipses, while the Venus tables correlate with the movements of the planet Venus. The codex also contains astrological tables and ritual schedules. The religious references show in a cycle of a 260-day ritual calendar the important Maya royal events."

 

"In the codex the Maya related their 260-day calendar to celestial bodies, especially Venus and Mars."

 

 

The Dresden codex lines up the themes of Mars and Venus, Mayan and Aztec calenders and culture , eclipses etc. Some of these references are already in this thread, and another honorable mention would be Richtofen's quote from the Easter egg:   "Now to realign the antikythera mechanism. Just kidding! But it is pretty cool, look it up, I made it! Mystery Solved!"

 

On a related note, the Black ops 3 Terminal is also known as the codex. The Wikipedia page for codex put a certain focus on Mayan and Aztec codices: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codex

Two more things: This is related, showing the Flesh Eating Venus Fly Traps were ordered: 

 

 

And something that may be a new observation: 

Quote

Gamma Ray Specs

Seeing through things is simply over-rated. Use these specs to see into people’s souls. Manufactured in a small Tibetan village by mystics, the secret sources of their powers are un-revealed(?).

 

The Tibetan village in which the the mystics manufacture the Gamma Ray Specs may be a reference to Shangri-La, as the Himalayas are located in the Tibetan Plateau. Interestingly they allow to inspect into people's souls, and souls became critical to the Aether story over the years (Moon in particular, with the soul swapping and the first soul-box introduction with the MPD). This can be further supported with the village references within the concepts ideas for Shangri-La (Via https://youtu.be/OQXwojQ_i_0)
