But the most utterly insane, balls-deep in stupid theory is this one:
That is some seriously bullshit stuff, man.
The only thing is, no one seems to have put some of the puzzle games, as well as that new one with the samurai stuff in it, into any of the current timelines.
I suspect that once they come out, we'll be able to shove them into at least one of the many, many, MANY gaps that perfectly explain each timeline.
