Half - Life 2's Biggest Unsolved Mystery Yet

[Chicken Jockey]

So, I had recently saw on Youtube there was a huge Half - life 2 mystery going on that ever since the game's release had something to do with a grafiti called "The Umbrella man" The mystery reminded me of GMod ARGs even though it has nothing to do with GMod. Here's the link to that video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImewMLwyjdE

There is another version of the grafiti used in the beginning of Ravenholm. The mystery all began back in a website called "HL2.net" which was made back in 2005/2006. There was a post talking about the mystery. If you go to the Ravenholm chapter and look to your left, You'll spot a dark alley way which you'll find the grafiti "The Umbrella Man" However you will notice some changes and differences. 1. The face is black and distorted 2. the legs are missing. However, If you go into hammer editor and load the first Ravenholm map. You can find the grafiti and you can lift it up. If you lift it up, You'll see distorted appearances. When users pulled the decal up, They noticed something strange with the decal. There was a copy from a archive website of the altered grafiti. And if inspecting the image you'll find out it is actually corrupted! You'll need to inspect it in the text editor of the image and scroll down. You will find the following text/command:

"console command: "INTERLOPE"
'Unknown Command' "INTERLOPE
console: Get s.interlope.pull:27015"

These texts are actually console commands! You must type in the word "INTERLOPE" in the console without the two marks (Sorry forgot what they're called). But it'll just say "Unknown command: Interlope" But don't assume it didn't work because it actually did. Then type in "console: Get s.interlope.pull:27015" without the two marks. And once you do, Unusual things will happen.. It'll take you to a random area on any map and your camera will shake agressively for a split second and it will quit to main menu. And you will recieve a message in the console saying: "Adminstrator: WELCOME WITH CAUTION. YOU ARE NOT WELCOMED HERE:)". Now you may be wonder, What on earth just happened?! What happened was that the text you put in generated a demo. If you don't know what a DEMO is, It is a command where it allows you to record gameplay on the console. If you load in a recorded demo it will quit to main menu once it's finished. Here are the demo commands

record test
stop
PLAYDEMO

But we know the word "GET" That is used in the command:
"Get s.interlope.pull:27015" has something to do with what generates the data in demos. And names them data.dem But what was asked the most was what is the data contained withen the files? And what is generating them? Addcording to hl2.net there is a "90%" chance of normal demos being recorded. While the 5% chance are well.. Like the typical GMod ARG. Some of the maps include files such as "Data.bsp" You can load into them. But.. Does this DEMO thing and data map work on other games such as TF2,Portal,Counter-strike? Let's find out! So, If you do this.. It pretty much works! It goes same for Half - Life 2. But in Counter Strike source, There is something a bit different. Instead of your camera shaking agressively, It just teleports you around the map really quick. And here is where stuff quickly shifts into something out of a GMod ARG. Sometimes, They appear as if they're being controlled by a VR headset user. And it is just very weird. You'll see frames of strange things in the sky, Weird sudden VR Movements. It happens very rare sometimes. Users in hl2.net calls these the "Type 5" Demos. These are the very weird ones. Such as there being a creepy Half - Life 2 demos from the coast maps.

yes it's an arg, but it's pretty convincing. I believed it was real until I read the comments and saw the VR sections. I can see how OP can believe it to be real

the VR bits didnt make it seem fake



it all seemed very genuine especially the way anomidae executed all of it

Hello. to check for the presence of an intruder, you first need to find graffiti and then bring commands. graffiti may not be due to the theory that graffiti only appears in December. by the way, the bug is not in half life 2 but in source 1.

Anomidae uses a VR mocap setup, which generally includes the HMD, controllers, and Vive trackers/other Full body tracking solutions.

You can find mentions of it in their videos.
