I doubt it was meant to be read, normally it looks like a post-it with some notes that you can't make out unless you zoom in with a camera tool.

It's definitely a placeholder text, there are 2-3 copies of this note, they're all the same. They're in Richard's vault btw, placed on some artifacts

Or maybe it's a hint to something

Perhaps the next game will have Lara raid Walmart and Costco for that elusive zucchini bread, pasta sauce and mint syrup. DLC will probably document Lara's quest to make the perfect pickles.

The UK definitely has Costco

Rai · 12-11-16, 01:40

^ We do?

We don't have a Walmart though. Asda is a subsidiary. They probably just threw in a couple of relatively well known names.

Also pickle making can be quite therapeutic according to my mum. She used to make her own pickle and jams. Plus, you know, you can give jars of it to neighbours or even sell it.

Anyway, that's some interesting finds there, Matie. Mind you, I do question Trinity's ability to land on Yamatai when Himiko used to create storms to crash ships or planes. Perhaps she was sleeping on the job.

This was in the last game though, it's the document you get when you find all GPS caches. Nice find!

Oh I've just checked, it's really in it and I didn't remember it at all!

Oh well, it's still nice that they put it in Rise like that.

I have to say Meagan did an amazing job with the '20 Years of Tomb Raider' book. It was amazing, beautiful, I couldn't put it down. So much information that I had no idea about, i was grinning from ear to ear while reading it. Thank you Meagan

Right. I'm done. I give it a 7 out of 10.

Edit:Whoa! That post credits addition! That was interesting! OK then! My interest in the sequel is piqued already!

Is it just me or is this specific track (which like most of the good stuff is NOT in the OST) really cleverly put together?
I recently heard it whilst goofing around in the lost city post story and suddenly realized something.
I was listening to a piece of music that managed to capture the cultural essence of Greek, Mongolian and Soviet culture at the same time and make it work. And it works so well as most of the game world has been left with the mark of these 3 different cultures that have passed through over the years.

Personally barring a couple of gems I didn't think much of the soundtrack, solid but forgettable. But this one right here is absolute genius in it's subtlety.

Costco definitely is in the UK, no Walmart though. We don't use the Italian zucchini either, we use the French - courgette.

Don't say 'math' either, it's 'maths'.
