18 Months On, Grand Theft Auto V's Mount Chiliad Mystery Remains Unsolved

Posted by timothy on Tuesday February 24, 2015 @05:15AM from the your-sense-of-profundity-may-vary dept.

An anonymous reader writes One of GTA V's juiciest easter eggs is one that gamers have still yet to crack: the symbols on San Andreas' huge mountain that seem to suggest a jetpack is buried somewhere within it. As the game's PC launch — and presumable final uncovering as modders raid the game's code — nears, a new article looks at the lengths conspiracy theorists have gone in a bid to locate it, waiting entire in-game lunar cycles at points of interest on the map, trying to complete the game without killing anybody and even attempting to trigger earthquakes in Los Santos. Will it all have been for nothing?

I'm guessing that the ampersand is counted as a single character by the javascript that prevents you over filling the input box but once sent to the server it is expanded to its HTML entity (&) and the title loses 4 characters from the end (either it's truncated in code or the database field isn't big enough)
