Well, I was needing to restructure my OP anyhow, and was getting too lazy to ever get around to it.

Now I have incentive to do so. Anyone wanna come up with stuff I should include in my new OP?


I was about to suggest copying and pasting the material from the OP into your new one anyway, but yeah, this might be a good point to structure the clues better and more thoroughly.

Even though it's not thorough, I think it'd be wise to include the twenty-minute video at the very top of the post---to give newcomers something convincing and easy to digest at first.

Sorry I'm just in shock, I feel like a tornado ripped my home apart.

@Ownaholic

It seems like he forces himself to look at TIM when he says "you"

Right...Well. I'm going to go ahead and re-post what I just wrote five seconds ago. You guys are focusing on the last topic instead of evidence. xD

I just realized something very small, but interesting.
This one really does fit the bill of "grasping at straws", but it's interesting nonetheless.

When Anderson says "He's controlling you!", he actually looks at Shepard. Shepard is not shown on-screen, but he is standing behind TIM during this scene, at a closer-to-the-camera angle, which is where Anderson is looking.
37:10
Watch Anderson's eyes. He doesn't look at TIM. He looks at Shepard.If he was looking at TIM, his eyes would be slightly off to the right. But he's looking right over TIM's left shoulder.
His eyes connect DIRECTLY with where Shepard is standing.


But he does talk to TIM.  Anderson tells TIM "You're indoctrinated", so why would he not look at TIM?  I guess though, now that I think about it, he could possibly be talking to Shepard, not TIM, and we all just assumed he's talking to TIM...

Indeed, the thread didn't seem that crazy, deteriorating into madness was one of its regular cycles :/, mayble Priestly agreed Byne needed to update the front page so he switched to another troll account shut'r down to be rebuilt better and stronger. >:)

Or you could post that guys 1 hour and 30 minute "summary" of IT and pick it apart for what he got right and what he got wrong...

i always figured he was looking at the screen, pratically looking to the player.
*3:00 am and i see anderson look at me saying i'm indocrinated* kinda creepy as i was very sleepy at the time

Here's some stuff:

How does anyone live through this without armor and a helmet?

Also, the white light "dream transition effect is very telling that the ending could be a combination of a dream and being somehow mentally linked to some reaper somehow.

Man, what exactly happened there? What was the problem???

I was in the middle of posting, and then suddenly it wouldn't let me post it...

We'd better stay on-topic, I guess (even it didn't seem like we were that far off topic).


We seemed to be more on-topic than we usually were during our off-topic sessions.

Minus the last two or three pages...
anyway, the comparison shot with the tree before/after getting hit.

The eyes
The shadows
maybe the foliage stuff

I can't see why the fade to white should be included as it's just that: a standard fade to white.

Yeah, it's very strange. I've analyzed every frame of that segment. He never locks eyes with TIM during that statement. Not once.

By the way, I'm "that guy" who made the hour and 20 minute documentary you referenced earlier. =]

A fade to white in a manner which is only seen in the dreams, Geth consensus, and ending.

 I hope this doesn't get a lot of hate sent my way, but I totally understand why the last thread was locked down. The off topic posts were starting to greatly out number the on topic ones, so much so that I was checking in less and less. Truthfully, I think it because we've examined IDT to death, and part of me suspects that there won't be much to discuss until the DLC comes out.

But you never know, obviously. ;)

Why would they make us suffer months before revealing IT to be correct. Why not just come out and admit it. I'll happily await the ending, if they can mercifully end speculations

... and perhaps screen captures of the codex entries that reference things like the shadows and humming.

Seriously, you're that guy!?!  Nice job!  Honestly, that must have been quite the undertaking.  Must've taken a lot of time and effort.

And, really, excellent job for the most part, although I do disagree with a few of your points.

It's a dream transition effect that only happens during the dreams, the geth consensus and the end. It signifies when you're shifting "from one reality to another"

It's in the Geth consensus that you learn that the machine uses your memories to interpret things, the white light is an additional link between these three things.

Sorry, you made me laugh, you don't reveal something that is inherently deception, which is what indoctrination is about, but at a more fundamental level you don't publicly announce a major spoiler.

Yessir, that be me. =] (Notice the signature, the Clever Noob ad)
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. =]
I'm totally open to constructive criticisms too. I never expected every single person to agree with every single point, just wanted to present all of the evidence I knew about at that time in one fell swoop. I also have a radio interview coming tomorrow about the video. If you have any questions you'd like me to answer during the interview, you can post them here. But hurry, the cutoff is today.

Anywho, I just find this scene to be very very strange. The fact that Anderson doesn't look at TIM, but instead is looking straight at the camera (and Shepard's point of view is our camera at that point), shows that he's actually trying to talk to Shepard.

Thanks, Byne... I feel kinda guilty right now...
