<br>Grand Theft Auto has easily become one of the most beloved games in the gaming world, especially since the latest installment. With its recent updates and online interactive gaming capabilities, gamers have been even more invested in the series than they ever have been before. As with many other games, players devote tons of precious hours attempting to uncover many of the hidden easter eggs and other in-game secrets... and believe me when I say that there are a lot of them in this series. This is as true of Grand Theft Auto V as it is of any of the other games in the ser<br><br> <br>Head out to Tongva Valley and you might be in for a bumpy ride, at least that's what some GTA V players think. One of the newer conspiracy theories to crop up around the game, the Tongva Triangle, which spreads across much of the Tongva Valley and cuts straight across the mysterious Fort Zancudo, is ground zero for some of the more… ambiguous anomalies in the game–the kinds of myths that turn even the most ardent believers into skeptics. Strange happenings in the Tongva Triangle include swamp monster sightings, oddly irate drivers, number stations broadcasting at odd hours and Slenderman himself, among others. While it's not unreasonable to assume that GTA V might include a downed UFO in the Tongva Triangle (it does), the presence of Slenderman, a semi-open sourced internet villain, in a Rockstar game is a little harder to swal<br><br> <br>One of the most elaborate GTA V conspiracy theories states that Michael De Santa, one of the game's three playable characters, was actually dead the whole time. Stay with me here. The theory was first put forth by Reddit user Jetpack_Jones and it all begins with a quote from the first Tract of Epsilon, the in-game cult, so you know it's gonna be good. Heavily summarized, the theory posits that a series of inconsistencies in the game hints that game does not take place in 2013… or any concrete time at all. Incorrect concert dates, references to the most recent recession and some license plates have led mystery hunters to believe that the game actually takes place in roughly 2008, but that the whole game is actually a dream of Michael's. The purpose of the dream? Perhaps to accept that he's been dead the whole t<br><br> <br>Michael is obviously a favorite character of many GTA V fans. In the final mission, players must choose whether or not to kill Michael (although he dies either way). After Michael's death when players return to his mansion, they discover that his family has moved out and if they stand in the backyard, the painting of his wife Amanda watches you. Her eyes follow your every move. But this isn't where it stops... upon entering the house (which is otherwise locked) you'll discover that the mirror in the bathroom will flicker until completely turning to black. Some players have even got videos of what is believed to be an orb in the bathroom. The creepy painting alone would have kept me out of the house, but check it out for yourself if you're feeling skepti<br> <br>Head off into the Great Chaparra mountains for an afternoon sojourn and you may happen upon a boarded-up mineshaft. Depending on which version of the game you own, you may be able to get inside–any explosive will clear the way (entering the mineshaft is only supported on the Xbox One, PS4 and PC versions of the game, while Xbox 360 and PS3 owners will find a brick wall blocking their path). A thorough exploration of the mine (as seen in this video ) leaves much to be desired. While players have reported hearing voices and footsteps in the mine, typically all that can be heard are the sounds of bats and the creak of the shaft's weathered supports. That hasn't kept GTA V 's mystery-seeking community from rampant speculation, though, as some still believe the mineshaft is haun<br><br> <br>The state of San Andreas is the biggest map that Rockstar has ever made for a game, ever. The size of Grand Theft Auto V 's map is larger than GTA IV, San Andreas, and Vice City's combined, which of course has led to all of these little secrets that are held within the game. Top that off with a full underwater ocean map and that adds even more layers to the land for you to explore. But if you take a look at the map, you'll notice the state of San Andreas is actually an island. So what would happen if you were to say, sail out to sea? What about by plane? Yeah, you're dead. If you sail out far enough, your boat will simply sink and you'll die from fatigue, while your plane engine will shut off if you fly too far away from land. If you really think about it, San Andreas is just a giant prison. A giant prison that gives you a little too much free<br><br> <br>How often does the average person use Facebook and Twitter on a daily basis? How often do you use social media? Well it turns out in the universe of Grand Theft Auto V, Suggested Browsing the answers in both real life and the game are exactly the same. All of the notable characters (playable and non playable) have their own respective Lifeinvader pages, fit with their occupations, relationship status, and online friends space. If you treat the game's social media parody like most people do in real life (you check it frequently), you'll notice your friend's Lifeinvader pages are all updated. These changes include messaging other characters in the game depending on the outcome of certain missions, or changing their current status. Turns out, everyone in Grand Theft Auto V is just like all of us. Difference is, they're all a bunch of crimin<br>
