Interesting easter eggs in games

In fable 2 if you read the description for "Swarthy Revenge Indigo Dye" it says something like this (quoting from memory, so it's not going to be exact):

"This is indigo of the rare Montoya genus. You have crushed its flowers. Prepare to dye."

I like the one in Legend of Zelda: OoT where, when you get into the castle courtyard and shoot one of the paintings in the window, someone will throw a bomb at you.

Also, can someone explain the hidden cow level from Diablo? I never understood what it was and I'm curious.

Apparently, someone got the idea that the cow NPCs in one level of Diablo meant that there was a hidden cow level. This blew up into a frenzy and apparently caused Blizzard enough grief that they added a secret cow level to Diablo II. They also made the instant-win cheat in Starcraft read "there is no cow level".

Saints Row 2 had the most epic easter egg of all. In the ocean there is a giant easter bunny.

In fable 2, behind a demon door you can find Terry Cotter's Army...which is made of a ceramic material.

I don't think you can destroy them though.

In Bioshock, there is a pacman easter egg.
It is a wheel of cheese, with a chunk of it missing, and three holes in the ground.

Any one in the MGS (lots) or the silent hill series (again lots)

The Insomniac Museum, anyone?

I remember that Leisure suit Larry: "Love for sail" had a lot of funny easter eggs.. lol..
Don't know if i should elaborate seeing as the game is sexplicit, and some people somehow find titts offensive.. ehhem..

System Shock 2 for the Macarena-Droid and the Basketball.

In Fallout 2 you come across the bridge of death from Monty Pythons Holy Grail, and you have to answer the questions correctly. That one was great.
Also, when you come across that time-portal thing from an early episode of Star Trek and you accidentally break the water chip in Vault 13, thus causing the events from Fallout.

And Duke Nukem 3D is littered with so many 90's references. My favorite reference, although not from the 90's, was at the end of the first level in the fourth act where you walk down the hallway and all the different doors open automatically and you go down an elevator hidden in a telephone booth. Get Smart reference, yay!

Did you try asking a question back at him?
His robes are equal to combat armor, and I got him at a reaaalllllyyyy early time so I was ahead of the game for about four towns.

In Crysis 2 when your running through the frozen cave thing, if you take the sort of higher route you come across a rat with an acorn frozen in a wall of ice (Ice Age)

 

[anarchist225]

in halo PC, if you do it right, and kill one of the bridge personell on the Pillar of Auttumn, there is a way to see a heart made out of blood splatters on the ceiling, and an "M" in bullet holes inside it

The insane amounts of awesome easter eggs and pop culture references in WoW. Quests named "Yormuttar (big worm thingy) is so fat", the little flok of creatures from Bambi (followed by brutally slaughtering them), and that's just WotLK.
I also really lolled at the first Far Cry, I sneaked in an office building and overheard a conversation between 2 guards, talking about a memo about new fronts for TPS reports. The Office awesomeness.

What is the most random and fun easter egg you have found in a game?

For me it is this...

While playing Fallout 3 I stubled across a computer in the museum of technology that had I note from a guy that was comprised of lyrics by industrial band Fear Factory, and the fictional scientist's name was B.Bell.. the name of the singer in said band.

Obviously this is only really exciting to people who are fans of the band but I thought it was really cool.

Thats awesome. What song was it?

In Shadow of the Colossus there is the ending beach of ICO, no watermelons there
And of course Insomniac museum in Ratchet & Clank 2-3

Still my fave is, after completing fallout 2, going to the chapel in new reno and you get given the Prima or whatever official guide, if you read it it maxes all your skills to 300%.

I thought that was very cool

The fallout series were the best for eggs though, and i see its not just me that has fond memories I also remember the whale, the bridge of death, along with the pitch black bit with the deathclaws and so many more.

I did.
And He exploded.
And it was great.
