Description:

<s.t>Jman: "OK WTF???? big WTF here guys. first off, sorry for the necro. second; turns out OP was really onto something here, not even kidding. this isn't a joke so I was searching through the graffiti textures because I was making a level for my mod when I noticed that there was only one umbrella man graffiti in my files, which was weird because I remembered searching for the dark variant last year because of this thread but I eventually found the file on an old machine of mine, and holy smokes it actually exists, it's called decalgraffiti308b. thing is I wrote it off as being a mipmap error but the actual file itself is corrupt for some reason out of curiosity I dove into it with a hex editor to see if it's some kind of steam server error or something but I found there's a freakin' ASCII message embedded inside the image that says

'FOR J.J

CONSOLE: INTERLOPER

>>"UNKNOWN COMMAND: INTERLOPE

CONSOLE: GET S.INTERLOPE.PULL:27015'

this is why decalgraffiti038b is all glitchy on the bottom Sounds unbelievable enough right? well for the hell of it I decided to type these into console just like this and it actually did something. like, it actually worked seriously try it yourself it's super weird, it makes your screen flash and then sends you back to the main menu"

justinLife: "A little early for april fools? also did u really need to necro this thread or could you have just made a new post in spam for the joke :P just sayin, we should be discussin the game in these parts"

<s.t>Jman: "Because OP was right and I thought he deserved to hear me tell him I was wrong. I can make a new thread if needed but I'm super perplexed by this... I'm typing the 'get s.interlope.pull:27015' over and over and it's sending me to different maps every time I paste it. I can't control the game at all when it happens"

"Judith Mossman": "WTFFFFF I just typed this in and watched a cutscene of barney flailing around. it was super creepy. WTF WAS THAT"

4four5five: "0.0 Ok, that settles it, I'm never playing ravenholm EVER again"

justinLife: "pffft Ok, fine, I'm going to launch the game right now and if this doesn't work you guys are gonna be recieving some VERY colorful emails :)"

justinLife: "WHAT THE HELL ok it actually works this is huge. The interlope command doesn't seem to do anything but the get command does. wtf kind of easter egg is this???"

Ugrox7: "wtf it actually works."

7localsource: "OMG I JUST DID IT AND BARNEY CAME OUT OF MY SCREEN AND DRANK ALL MY MILK u guys are so gullible, why did you have to dig up some poor random thread for your dumb joke"

<s.t>Jman: "if the necro is a big deal I can make a new thread but dude this is real and it's huge it's not a joke. seriously try it yourself I have no idea how to explain this. Here's a video as proof"

|DeV1RTU0S0|x: "Wow I haven't checked here in a while but thanks for letting me know this developed what even is this? Is this actual gman lore or is this a glitch?"

Ugrox7: "I don't think this is a Gman, I don't even think this is intentional. It comes off as a weird glitch. I think what is happening here is when u type the commands in console it probably doesn't know what the message means and crashes the game back to main menu, or maybe it was an old command that ujsed to do something but now it just breaks? it's very random, I just typed it in again and it put me outside the map for a few seconds then crashed to the main menu, see my video. I can't control or anything so it was just stuck"

"Judith Mossman": "Then y is it playing cutscenes that aren't in the game like a barney death scene???"
