Yeah we all know what a fan's mind can come up with if something is left un-explained or ambiguous...
So what's the most outlandish fan theory you've heard?

There are a lot of conspiracy theories just on this forum :P

Like this more recent one; it's because Bethesda is racist and hate asians they haven't announced any release date for Dawnguard for the PS3, which is an asian console.

Most theories where characters are said to be homosixual for the tiniest nuances in their behavior. Also, ones where people theorize about features of characters that wear masks/helmets/face coverings of some kind.

They're not lore-based theories or anything, but I find them all hilarious. Ones like "Master Chief is gay and has a mustache." Why?

The Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas myths. Bigfoot and Leatherface being the big ones.

Real or fake, it was fun to go "myth hunting" :tongue:

Theories about Portal are my favorite. They're pretty intricate.

And usually hilarious.

Hrm....this could be true actually, because they've shown the same disrepect to the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race :o BETHESDA ARE OFFICIALLY RACIST! :ahhh:

Alternatively, its because Bethesda/Zenimax are bastards who accepted a bribe from Microsoft to release it on their console first.

This has been going on for a long time. There is a reason why Bethesda never intended to include a human race with asian features.

Yes, some people do think that the town of Silent Hill is being controlled by a dog.

That aside... I have a strong belief in the idea that Mario is a drug addict who does tons of shrooms.

Someone on a forum I used to go to called Vizzed thought the Final Fantasy series was made because someone on their deathbed wanted a fantasy game made... Shadow the Hedgehog dating Sonic... I only used to support that shipping for teh lulz.
Bugsy being a girl. Sorry, that gym leader is so a guy. I checked... his chest!

Also, every single James Sunderland/Pyramid Head shipping fanfic. Oh god... That scarred me for life.

I've made two theories for Assassins Creed, which I would actually love to discuss with you people. Spoilers up ahead, so keep scrolling if you care.

The first theory came when I was watching Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which by the way is a very good movie and does not deserve the amount of bad critic that it gets. There is one part where Indiana is talking about the legendary city of Akator, more commonly known as El Dorado. It was rumored to be made of gold, which Indi later points out is another world for treasure in the Mayan world. Akator was also rumored to be very highly ahed of its time, having aqueducts and all other sorts of technology thousands of years before it should have.

Considering in Assassins Creed 3 that it has been confirmed we will be going to the Carribean, I wouldn't be surprised if one of the temples left behind by the Ones whom Came Before was actually Akator. It would be an amazing way to end Connor's perspective: A giant race through the jungles of South America to reach Akator before the Templars do. There are several other factors that can help confirm my theory, but I will leave it at that.

Theory number two is a lot more simpler. While watching Soul Eater, the legendary sword of Excalibur was brought up. It was mentioned that the sword was fabled to allow the one that it chose (what else in this series choses who can wield its abilities?) to teleport, and grant them angelic wings. My theory for that is that Excalibur is actually one of the Pieces of Eden. While I doubt it will be featured in AC 3, I can easily see a later title in the franchise set in medieval Europe in which the Templar are seeking the blade.

Share your thoughts, please!

As ridiculous as the fridge scene was, it's not any worse than him surviving a fall out of an airplane using a inflatable raft, or clinging onto a submarine as it sailed across the ocean for several hours.

Only thing I can honestly see the people having a reason to complain about for the movie is that the violence was slightly toned down... that is, til you get to the part with the ants.

But back to the theories! We can debate the movie over PM's if you want, or have Epicfail make a thread.
