Every dwarf, every dwarven man, women, and child, that comes to our forts will die there; it's truly sad when you think about it. And we ask our selves, why? Why do we push forward, knowing this fate, that we are destined for failure? Because, this game grasps the concept of mortality. Some games you can never lose, but we all stop eventually, causing a 'death' to those game's 'worlds'. Dwarf Fortress gives us a definite end, knowing that we will leave that world eventually, and move on to more.

I would love some adult targeted cartoons that aren't comedies. I imagine it'd fail horribly though; getting everyone, from the producers to the marketers to the writers on board with a completely serious cartoon is a long shot. Not to mention they'd all have to be competent in the first place. Avatar has gotten closest in recent memory, but of course it's on a kid's station and is marketed to kids.
I dont think that's true at all. There been several drama cartons, though they so far have been action oriented.
The major issue is that in the US, animation is consider a genre (what the fuck?) and for kids.
 Brad Bird had a small rant on the Incredibles commentary about this. It was pretty interesting.

Yea, I concur that the ice bag refers to Episode 5. The hand refers to the Manuals, I think. I also think the question mark refers to the Mystery Shack.

Lets see...
The series of symbols under the konami code, and to the right of the tree. I'm super sure that they're alcehmical symbols. The Circle with the Dot is for gold.

There some binary in the top lefthand corner.

The binary might translate to something, but it's only a byte and a half long. That's less that one letter in any recent convention (which are two bytes unless you want less than 256 total glyphs). So if it is anything, it's not a word.

Reading it top-down (which organizes it into nybbles): 626 decimal, 272 hex.

This seems to be the net consensus on that page. I've seen a few that basically say the same things anyway. I hope there's some meaning to the unlabeled bits, since they seem mysterious and interesting.

Stan can't have two symbols on the wheel. The Claw may represent the lodge that Gruncle is part of.

I concur that the shooting star and the tree are the main characters.

I dont think the heart means emo teen. Its a stiched heart. So it was a broken heart at one point.

The heart is the symbol on Robbie's hoodie.

But yeah, that one didn't do too good of a job on the symbols surrounding the pyramid, I mostly linked it for the stuff outside.

Has Stan's tattoo been fully revealed yet?

Seems like a Thing of Relevance.

To exist or not exist, that is the query. For whether it is more optimal of the CPU to endure the viruses and spam of outragous fortune, or to something something something.

One of the cryptograms was something like "HAVE YOU SEEN STAN'S TATTOO?" so it's certainly relevant, but as far as I know, we've only seen that bit.

So, this is the "first" version of GF's intro. Originally made for some MTV show, supposedly. I think I like it better:

(GF's finalized theme for reference)

There's actually ANOTHER known proto-intro theme:

In reality there were likely dozens of proto-intro themes.

The one issue with the whole mystery aspect of Gravity Falls is that they... kinda already discovered something that is kinda tough to beat.
