The Truth Behind The Epsilon Program - Grand Theft Auto V

Franklin being instantly denied access to the Epsilon website based on IP address actually makes sense considering that story-wise, he comes from a black (and thus poor) neighbourhood and even speaks to Michael about his conditions growing up early in the story. Considering Epsilon is only interested in leeching rich individuals, it makes perfect sense why Franklin was denied. Trevor is also probably due to him living out in the countryside where most people ain't rich, so again - little monetary interest. Michael was the perfect target for the Epsilon Program as he was the paradigm candidate - rich middle-aged man living in a rich mansion suffering from a midlife crisis.

Fun fact about Chris Formage: although saying Fromage instead of Formage is funny, it is even better as a french canadian, where I like to say "Criss Fromage", Criss being a slur, it would most likely translate to "Fucking cheese"

There's also a deleted phone call from Trevor when Michael is running in the desert. If even Trevor says that you look ridiculous, then some signals must be pulled

"Sometimes all you need is a little faith" sounds like someone needs to make some smoke then disappear

One hour lore video from fizhy we feasting good tonight

The epsilon program is also a giant Easter Egg to Scientology

Michael questions the orders in the first couple of missions but then stops the questioning and logic halfway through. (spirits have e-mail part cracked me up) He sees more and more epsilonists every mission. He doesnt want to stick out so he starts adapting. But in the last mission Michaels insticts kick in when he sees the money. He values dollars more than so called inner peace.

The Epsilon program needs to make a return in GTA VI.

Fun Fact: The Extraterrestrial Signal Reader is actually an PKE Meter from Ghostbusters! In the movie (and game) it beeps and tells you if what you wre looking at is a supernatural object or if a supernatural entity has interacted with it, although obviously the Reader in GTA V probably just reads radio signals, considering it led Michael and Boston to an old TV

It was first introduced in San Andreas on the Entertaining America portion of WCTR when Lazlow conducted an interview with Cris (voiced in both SA and V by Fred Melamed, best known for his roles in A Serious Man and the third season of Fargo ). It was then referenced once or twice in Liberty City Stories and even further in IV both on the internet and on the radio (on the Intelligent Agenda portion of PLR, Vinewood actor Brandon Roberts yells, "Kifflom!"). Of course, V obviously features it more prominently thanks to its setting and storyline, but it's been part of the series since the 3D Era. If VI features a parody of Clearwater, Florida, then I'd totally expect to find another Epsilon center there, as in real-life Scientology maintains a large presence in Clearwater. Also, I think it should be noted that Marnie was a random character you could encounter in IV, in which she was a prostitute who was addicted to heroin. In the second encounter, Niko gives her some money to catch a train out of Liberty City. Her dark backstory helps explain why she fell into Epsilonism and is the way she is when Michael meets her in LS.

Just found this channel after recently reinstalling RDR2 and I’ve binge watched almost every rockstar video you have. Keep it up!

Remember, the first time your player dies in GTA online, Cris Formage comes down from the clouds and tells you about passive mode. Ah there you mention it right at the end.

Fun fact about the end of the mission after donating $5000, if you keep the camera facing Marnies general direction, you can go as far as you want from her and the mission wont actually end, at least not until you turn the camera away from her general direction Another fun fact, whenever you're in the FIB building, if you walk into the tvs in the building they glitch out and the screens detatch to reveal a 2nd screen underneath showing the Epsilon program so maybe the FIB is even in on the Epsilon thing too

It’s good that your getting a liveable amount of views on non rdr2 stuff. The quality of your videos are unmatched in any game really.

After all that Marnie has been through and all the progress she made in GTA 4, it’s really sad to see that she’s fallen into a cult. I hope she’ll make a reappearance in GTA 6, hopefully as a psychiatrist like she had planned.

I can't believe you made a video about the Epsilon Program that is longer than the speedrun for all Epsilon Missions.

The San Andreas Epsilon Program was hella creepy, especially that farm house with blue lights and the blue car in the desert, it was so ominous, and given it was at the time the San Andreas PC mods blew up, the mods made around the theory were so cool and still kept that unknown eerie feel

Man, people say gta5 is "empty" but I had no idea this was a thing, the gane keeps surprising me

100k for a rusty tractor is a bargain compared to GTA online prices.

I feel like I might be much more interested in a cult if its leader's name was Mister Cheese
