"Mystery of the SiIcret Gunner - A SiIvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis Side Story" is a high quality lore video and a side story for The SilvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis.
Like "Comeback Crisis: The Lost Rip" and "Unusual Circumstances", it is a Nutshackwoodman34 story. It is based on the "FOOLS" branch of The Susie ARG, though many steps differ in execution from the actual ARG, including the ending.
Plot summary[]
Reader is at home doing nothing in particular when Jerome comes home. He asks Reader if he had seen SiIvaGunner doing strange things, to which Reader replies that he hadn't watched the channel in a while and asks if they still uploaded "grand dad", "snow halation", or "dva" rips. Jerome reminds Reader about their prior adventure with Wood Man (which Reader had forgotten about), and mentions that SiIvaGunner had announced a new SiIva Direct, scheduled to happen as they were speaking.
Reader and Jerome then move to their couch, turning on the Direct as it is about to start. As the Direct proceeds to announce "Blueberry Pie Day", "Gabe Newell Funeral Event", and "Cereal Day", a message from Chuck Norris interrupts the Direct to say a URL, which Reader tells Jerome to write down. After this, Reader asks Jerome what he thinks the URL means, to which Jerome suggests that it could be an alternate reality game.
Reader proceeds to go upstairs to enter the URL into his computer, finding Max Profitt Haltmann's website and recalling his adventures with him. Jerome suggests that the website is where the "Haltmann's Archives" are stored, which Reader wants to watch to catch up on SiIvaGunner.
After reading every prior "Haltmann's Archives" file, Reader and Jerome begin reading the newest one, but instead see an image that says "illucidity activated". After making a few remarks about its appearance and pondering its existence, Jerome suggests that the image might contain a secret. Reader and Jerome then use their special secret decoding program to decode the image, followed by using Reader's phone's "x-ray app" to discover the message "you must play wordle..." written with bones.
Upon the discovery of the message, Reader is confused by what Wordle is, with Jerome mentioning his coworker talking about it. They then look it up and discover the website "playwordlefree.highquality.rip", to which they conclude that they need to record a "let's play" of the game. After a bit of discussion on how to play, Reader and Jerome guess the words "cows" and "minecraft", which works. Reader then renders their video and emails it to Haltmann's address (which they guessed to be "rippapalooza@siivagunner.net") before he and Jerome go to bed.
When Reader wakes up, he discovers a response to his email not from Haltmann but from Inspector Gadget, causing him to scream and wake up Jerome, who asks him what happened. Upon learning that Inspector Gadget replied, Jerome expresses mild displeasure before joining Reader in watching what Inspector Gadget had sent: a "let's play" video of a really old version of Minecraft. After discovering that the video was over 4 hours long, Reader and Jerome decide that they don't want to watch it and are mad that Inspector Gadget responded to their "let's play" video with a worse one. After this, Jerome goes to work and Reader decides to watch videos on Vimeo.
While watching Vimeo, Reader discovers that SiIvaGunner also had a channel there, and finds a video on the channel called "hurt.ogg" featuring Ogg (who Reader recognizes as someone he knew in 3rd grade) and Inspector Gadget singing a cover of "Hurt" by Johnny Cash, dedicating the song to Jerome. Reader concludes that Haltmann set up the video to get Jerome to forgive Inspector Gadget, and calls Jerome to come home and watch the video. Upon coming home and seeing the video, Jerome cries tears of joy and hugs Reader as well, before returning to work.
Reader then discovers a new video on the Vimeo channel, surprising him as he had thought the alternate reality game was over. Theorizing that Haltmann prepared several "redemption" videos for them, he clicks on the video (which was a Super Smash Brothers replay of Cloud and Captain Falcon) and gets angrier as he watches and re-watches it, commenting that the people playing the game sucked. When Jerome returns home later, Reader shows him the video, which confuses him due to how the players were moving. Reader then comes to the conclusion that he and Jerome should play the game and recreate the exact movements themselves to perhaps unlock a secret file. Reader and Jerome then proceed to play the game over the next 2 weeks (restarting whenever they made a mistake) before finally getting the file, which Reader takes a picture of and decodes via his computer, his decoder program, and his x-ray app, resulting in an MP3 file.
Upon playing the file, Reader recognizes the melody as famous console startups from his past, but notes that it sounded odd. Jerome recognizes the instruments as the "Buddy Holly" soundfont, after which a door appears in Reader's bedroom. Reader opens the door and finds a blue-colored world, with four figures in the distance that Jerome identifies as the members of Weezer. Reader briefly goes back to grab all of the consoles from his past, but returns to see the fourth member had changed to Squidward.
Reader hands Rivers Cuomo his Texas Instruments calculator and asks Cuomo to follow him, but Cuomo tells him that they can't leave the blue world. In response, Reader comes up with an idea to disguise the members, which they are excited by. However, upon exiting the blue world, the members freeze in place, becoming blue and immobile. After this, the Eiffel Tower suddenly appears from the blue world and accuses Reader and Jerome of taking Weezer, with Reader insisting that they ran out themselves. After explaining that they needed Weezer to proceed in the ARG, the Eiffel Tower, upon the mention of SiIvaGunner, agrees to help Reader and Jerome (briefly bemoaning Weezer dissolving into a blue puddle) by offering to dressing up as memes for them. The Eiffel Tower splits itself into three, but then Reader quickly summarizes over what happened afterwards in the narration, mentioning a Pastebin link, how Weezer held the consoles and sang the link, and how it was recorded and they got the code from the replay.
Reader and Jerome type the Pastebin link into the computer and get a blank page, with Reader mad that they killed Weezer just for this. Jerome thinks the page is still loading, but later goes to restart the router when it wasn't the case. When the page still does not load, Jerome calls their ISP, who says they could fix it in 3 years. Unwilling to wait that long, Reader tries to call his friend Repair Man the Woodman, but gets sent to voicemail. Reader asks Jerome how to get in contact with Repair Man the Woodman, but Jerome does not know how or who he is. Jerome mentions that his friend Mario Ramirez might know, but when they call him, his girlfriend Monika picks up instead.
Monika reveals that Mario passed away, but tells Reader and Jerome of someone who could get in contact with Repair Man the Woodman when she is asked. Upon writing down the phone number, Reader recognizes it as Wood Man's Skype number, with him and Jerome then heading to McDonald's to use the free Wi-Fi to call him.
Reader and Jerome attempt to call Wood Man but he is not online. Jerome asks Reader is he knows anyone else who could get in contact with Wood Man, after which Reader lists off a long series of names before finally setting on Mario. Reader and Jerome then attempt to call Mario on Skype but he is also not online. Jerome mentions that he knows someone who could get in contact with Mario, after which Reader guesses who it could be before Jerome reveals that the person is Monika.
Reader and Jerome contact Monika again, where she mentions again that Mario had passed away and emails them his autopsy report. After realizing that neither of them knew how to read an autopsy report, Jerome mentions that they would need a lawyer. Upon this revelation, Reader concludes that they would have to talk to Phoenix Wright, which they then do by opening a portal to SiIvaGunner's world that had been gifted to them by Wood Man.
Reader and Jerome visit Phoenix Wright in solitary confinement, but he is not happy to see them. Phoenix refuses to help Reader and Jerome after what they did to him but Reader insists that they were not at that trial. Phoenix then specifically mentions Jerome being there, to which Jerome also denies that he was there. When Phoenix expresses confusion at this fact, mentioning that Jerome was the judge at the trial, Jerome explains that he doesn't have a law degree or a a coat and gavel, and thus couldn't have been a judge. Phoenix then apologizes, noting that it was hard for him in solitary confinement and that he misses his best friend and actual brother Mario, who he plans to spend one more moment with when he gets out.
Reader begins to cry due to his knowledge of Mario's death, and reveals this fact to Phoenix, who expresses shock and disbelief. Reader then reveals to Phoenix that Jerome is holding Mario's autopsy report, which Phoenix begs to read. After contemplating whether to let Phoenix read the autopsy report, Reader hands it to him, who begins reading it in tears but then expresses confusion, revealing to Reader and Jerome that the autopsy report is actually a YouTube link.
Upon this discovery, Reader and Jerome go home to watch the video on Jerome's phone, which featured a purple character that Reader believed was Grand Dad and Jerome believed to be Luigi. To resolve the dispute, Jerome tries to look up a picture of Mario but instead keeps finding the "RedRewards" image. After initially believing that Jerome had run out of data, Reader comes to the conclusion that the image was part of the ARG. After thinking about it for a while, Reader and Jerome conclude that the red image was like red mist, which was like "Halloween Spirit", before dapping each other for coming up with this conclusion.
After feeling satisfied with their conclusion, Reader and Jerome return to their YouTube television and express surprise at finding a new episode of The SilvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis, specifically Episode 11. After pondering where the episode came from (and seeing that it had released 10 years ago), Reader concludes that it was the ARG's reward and begins watching it with Jerome. At the same time, Reader and Jerome go to the latter's phone and see the "RedRewards" image again, realizing that they hadn't done anything with their clue and that there had to be more secrets.
Reader notices stars on the image, which he and Jerome didn't know what to do with, so they retrace their steps and redo the entire ARG, paying closer attention to what they did. After reaching the image again, Reader and Jerome are clued into watching another Inspector Gadget video, which they do not want to watch. Instead, Reader and Jerome decide to try every combination of letters and websites, landing on the correct combination of "youtube.com" as the secret webpage.
Reader and Jerome find Mario's actual autopsy report on the secret webpage, confusing them as they had expected a YouTube link. After Reader mentions again that he and Jerome didn't know how to read autopsy reports, Jerome realizes that Mario isn't dead and wouldn't have an autopsy report. Reader and Jerome then go to McDonald's to call Monika again, who mentions that Mario is out of town. From this revelation, Reader concludes that Mario was not dead yet and that the next step was to wait until Mario's funeral.
Reader and Jerome proceed to sit on the couch and wait for Mario's funeral for years, during which their router is fixed after the third year. On the fifth year, a rabbit guy (later identified as Naxx Guyfieri) knocks on the door, who Reader and Jerome do not recognize. Naxx introduces himself as the rabbit king, lord and master of "Easter Spirit". He then mentions that Reader and Jerome are taking too long to solve the ARG but before he can finish, Jerome kills him. After this, Reader and Jerome proceed to kill Naxx in various ways every 3 days for several months, never letting him finish explaining why he was there. After another 5 years, Jerome realizes that maybe Naxx just wanted to talk to them, so they finally allow him to speak. Naxx explains that he was there to help them finish the ARG, but Reader and Jerome tune him out from boredom, eventually concluding that Naxx needs to die.
After Naxx finishes explaining, he asks Reader and Jerome if they understood. Instead, Reader and Jerome proceed to power up with "Fool's Spirit" and summon their Stands "Beader" and "Berome", before blasting Naxx with rainbow beams. After this, Reader and Jerome conclude that they had won the ARG, with the credits rolling.
After the credits roll, the video seemingly ends, but Reader proceeds to narrate this fake "video ending", revealing he and Jerome had been watching Episode 11 of The SilvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis up until now. Reader expresses disappointment at the video and at it being the ARG's reward. Jerome agrees and uses language that Reader did not expect from him. Reader then says that he never watched SiIvaGunner again, for real this time, with Reader and Jerome also throwing out their YouTube television.

["Bonus 1" from Touch Detective plays in the background.] Reader: I was at home doing nothing in particular. Yet another wednesday. I had just come home from school where i was doing nothing in particular. That's when my best bro and actual brother jerome came home from his third job. ["Bonus 2" from Touch Detective plays in the background.] Jerome: Dialogue ["Countdown - SiIvaGunner: King for Another Day" plays in the background.] Reader: And Jerome told me that siivagunner had just announced a new siivagunner direct. Well i figured that was a great way to start watching the channel again so i asked jerome when it was coming out? He said it was happening RIGHT NOW! And i was so excited that i screamed! It had been 5 years since i had watched siivagunner and i was remembering all the good times i had watching those epic rips! We sat down on the couch together and I turned on our brand new youtube television that could watch youtube right on the tv. Isn't that novel? Not that xbox tomfoolery, or amazon fire stick crud, i mean an honest to god real life actual real deal friggin youtube television. ["YouTube Premiere Countdown Fusion Collab" plays in the background, with a crudely drawn version of said video shown as well.] Chuck Norris: Hello everyone I am chuck norris, Reader: said chuck norris scarily. Chuck Norris: You must go to haltmann's website. Here is your first clue on how to find it: Reader: and then he said the url for a website which I screamed at jerome to write it down because surely this must be important. [The on-screen text proceeds to misspell "extreme speedliness" several times, with the audio and visuals distorting alongside it and briefly changing the speaker name from "Reader" to "Thanos Reader".] Rivers Cuomo: oh yknow i would. I would yknow. But we arent allowed in the not blue world anymore. We kind of have to stay here. Reader: I was shocked. When did weezer get sent to blue world forever? This would make things harder for us to enact haltmanns grand plan. But then, i had an idea. We can disguise you! And the weezers were so excited to dress up in costumes, that they ran out of the door immediately but as they entered the world of the living, they froze in place and they turned blue and immobile. The weezered had become blue statues. I was so scared. Had we doomed weezer? To an eternal life of statue blue? Jerome was shocked. Did we just... doom weezer? To an eternal life of statue blue? He asked. ["Glass Joe's Intro" from Punch-Out plays in the background.] Eiffel Tower: WHY DID YOU TAKE WEEZER!!!!!!!!!!! ["Blue (Da Ba Dee)" by Eiffel 65 plays in the background.] Reader: I was so scared. We didnt take weezer! They ran out on their own! And eiffel tower said Eiffel Tower: this will not abide. Reader: I told him we needed weezers help to solve the siivagunner direct alternate reality game. And Eiffel tower said Eiffel Tower: whoah. Siivagunner? I love siivagunner. Grand dad is my favorite rip. Reader: Just then, weezer dissolved into the floor as a blue puddle. Eiffel Tower: Oh great Reader: eiffel tower said. Eiffel Tower: Oh great now weezer is a puddle. Look what you did. Reader: And I said well maybe you can help instead since youre from the blue world too. The eiffel tower said ["Class Select Theme (MvM Version) (BLU Version) - Team Fortress 2" plays in the background.] Eiffel Tower: i sure can! Reader: And the eiffel tower said Eiffel Tower: i will dress up as whatever you want me to. I heard what you said to weezer when you said that. Reader: I said well i think maybe we need 3 people at least. There are some cool memes i needed you to dress up as and i think they need to be 3 people. The eiffel tower said Eiffel Tower: watch this. Reader: And then he split into 3 smaller eiffel towers. Holy cow i said, this could just in fact work!! And some other stuff happened and i dont know the eiffel tower bit got old and we eventually we got a pastebin link or something we put it in my computer and the eiffel tower went home too i guess. Uh and it turns out weezer held all the old consoles before they turned blue and became a puddle and then like, they had the consoles they sang out the pastebin link. Uuuhhhh and then me and jerome, dude we like we would never even would've noticed because it happened so fast but, as it turns out i left fraps running AND we were able to watch the replay and get the code. So that happened that way and then we moved on. ["Sunny Breeze" from Snood plays in the background.] Monika: Oh repair man? You know him? Yeah i dont have his number but i can get you in contact with someone who might. [An original arrangement using the "Pops" pre-programmed rhythm of a Casio SK-1 keyboard is played in the background.] Reader: Ok sweet i said and i got jerome to write down the phone number she gave me. I put it into my phone and my phone recognized it... it was WOODMANS skype number! How did monika know woodman? Thats really cool! Jerome sighed and grabbed his laptop and said come on lets drive to mcdonalds. We need to use their free wifi to call woodman. So we drove very safely to mcdonalds and set up the laptop but when we opened skype woodman was offline. ["Synth Popular" by Jacob Kandlaker plays in the background.] Phoenix: I will never help you. Reader: His eyes were red and bloody, almost as bloody as felix's eyes were all those years ago or maybe even grand dads eyes. I shivered looking at him because he was so scary. I almost ran away screaming but i stood my ground. I would not let this worthless criminal scare me away. Phoenix: After what YOU did to me- Reader: I stopped him there. What are you talking about? We werent even at that court trial. Phoenix said Phoenix: yeah well, He was there Reader: and he pointed at jerome. And jerome said what? Ive never even met you. And phoenix said Phoenix: what? Werent you the judge at that trial? Reader: Jerome said i dont even have a law degree how could i be a judge? If i was a judge i could read this autopsy. And id have a coat and a gavel. Do i look like i have a coat and a gavel to you? And phoenix said Phoenix: well i guess not. Sorry. Its just been so hard for me here in solitary confinement. It feels like just yesterday i was frollicking in the fields with my best bro and actual brother mario... i miss him so much! I would do anything to spend just one more moment with him and tell him i love him and goodbye. At least Ill still have a chance once i get out. Reader: I started crying because this was so sad... i knew who mario was. And mario was dead. I said dude... i have a best bro and actual brother too! And hes here with me and he is holding an autopsy report. And i hate to tell you but i know mario. And he is dead. Phoenix looked so shocked. Phoenix: What! How do you know! My best bro and actual brother mario... he CANT BE DEAD!!!!! Reader: And i said but dude. Thats actually what were here for. Hes dead. And we have his autopsy report RIGHT HERE. and i pointed at jerome who was holding it. He begged and pleaded with us to let him read it. ["Better Call Saul (Alternate Version) - Breaking Bad: Criminal Elements" plays in the background.] Phoenix: This... isnt an autopsy report. Reader: He said. And i said what? But monika said it was. Phoenix: No man this is like. This is a youtube link. Reader: I gasped and I looked at jerome. ["Bob-omb Battlefield" from Super Mario 64 plays in the background.] Naxx Guyfieri: first of all i have a name? Naxx Guyfieri, you ought to know it. Im sure youve heard my music. Reader: Me and jerome looked at eachother and shrugged our shoulders. We had no clue who this was. This made the rabbit look even peeveder. Naxx Guyfieri: Really? Reader: He said. Naxx Guyfieri: Ok well anyway thats not the point. The point is, im the rabbit king, lord and master of EASTER SPIRIT. and basically youre taking way too long to solve this alternate reality game so im here to get you two to- Reader: and then i screamed. JEROME HES HERE TO GET US!!!!! And jerome screamed too and he ran to grab the shot gun out of the secret shotgun hiding location and then he ran back into the room and shot and killed the rabbit guy. ["Sweet Little Dead Bunny (OST Version) - Doom" plays in the background.] Naxx Guyfieri: Listen man I just want to help you two solve the- Reader: and then jerome blew his brains out with the shotgun. ["Gentle Breeze" from Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 plays in the background.] Naxx Guyfieri: PLEASE DONT SHOOT ME. Reader: the rabbit guy said, and i said why would we shoot you? You wanted to talk to us didnt you? And the rabbit guy, shaking, said Naxx Guyfieri: uhhh yeah? Um. i wanted to help you finish the alternate reality game. Reader: And me and jerome looked at eachother with excitement on our faces. THIS was the next secret clue to solving the siivagunner direct alternate reality game!!! ["Dramatic "Scenes from a Postcard" - Touch Detective 2½" plays in the background.] Naxx Guyfieri: OK did you understand all of that? Reader: The rabbit guy asked. But me and jerome had had enough already. ["Mega Move" from Captain N: The Game Master plays in the background.] Naxx Guyfieri: What the fuck? What spirit? I handle easter spirit guys. Were you even paying attention? Reader: The rabbit guy said. And we began to power up like in dragon ball. With the jagged white lines around us, all like goku does. Goku is so cool. And using our insane powers of FOOLS SPIRIT, we summoned our STANDS like in GOKU anime. Our stands were BEADER AND BEROME and together the four of us shot rainbow beams from super metroid like from the super nintendo entertainment system out of the palms of our hands and destroyed the rabbit guy forever. No easter spirit could bring him back from what we did to him. ["Dixie Beat (PAL Version) - Donkey Kong Country 3" plays in the background.] |

History[]
This rip was originally titled "Mystery of the SiIcret Gunner - A SilvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis Side Story" with a lowercase L in SiIvaGunner.[1] It was renamed to use an uppercase i in February 2025.
Fanfiction.net version[]
Like the other Nutshackwoodman34 videos, this rip's story was posted to FanFiction.net as "Mystery of the SiIcret Gunner - A SiIvaGunner Fan Fiction" on the Nutshackwoodman34 Fanfiction.net account shortly after its premiere. Both versions have roughly the same contents, with a few notable differences:
- The formatting and sentence structure differs slightly throughout both versions of the story.
- All URLs are omitted in the Fanfiction.net version.
- The "extreme speedliness" segment is truncated heavily in the Fanfiction.net version.
- Reader's "Clover badge" tangent is not present in the Fanfiction.net version.
- "Miivagunner" is instead referred to as "Miivasunner" in the Fanfiction.net version.
- The Fanfiction.net version adds a tangent where Reader and Jerome express their opinions on Gadget Week, which is not present in the YouTube version:
I was so mad too. I dont even like inspector gadget jerome said and i said i know you dont and jerome said hes not even funny you know and i said i thought the event was funny and jerome said it just went on for so long and they kept doing it and i said but i mean it was kind of cool and jerome says it went on for like 2 weeks and then they made like a garfield video or something and i just thought it was too long and i really just dont think they should have done it and then to make it worse they did it again but didnt even commit to the bit? I mean they threw in avgn and nostalgia critic too and its like ok so theres a new bit this time ok i get it fine but then they barely even reference avgn it really just becomes the gadget and nostalgia critic show and its like what why avgn rules yknow like i just dont know what they were thinking. But if you like it thats chill.
- Reader's remark about not liking Vimeo is not present in the Fanfiction.net version.
- When Reader is listing off names at the McDonald's, the line "Or noaka?" is added between Ray William Johnson and Angry Joe in the Fanfiction.net version.
ARG[]
In the reviews of the FanFiction.net post of the aforementioned video's story is one by the user "noaka" (which also was the only review at the time of the aforementioned video's upload) that reads:
- hey have you guys seen this? /2iP8-S0LEbs
Using the provided string as a YouTube video ID leads to the final reward of this branch, "Holiday Spirit [FILE-INT-FOOLS] - Haltmann's Archives".
Trivia[]
- This rip's role as the reward of the FOOLS branch of The Susie ARG is a reference to "Unusual Circumstances", which was originally uploaded as part of April Fools' Day 2019.
- The full cover by Ogg and Inspector Gadget of the Johnny Cash cover of "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails was later uploaded on its own as the rip "hurt.ogg - Minecraft Education".
- The one featured in the video uses the rip "Dire, Dire Docks (OST Mix) - Super Mario 64" as the backing track, while the standalone version uses a different backing track with elements of the aforementioned rip.
