Interesting easter eggs in games

Tetsuya Nomura and the other creative directors being Tin Pin Masters in TWEWY was one of my favourites. XD
Also Zidane looking at a huge bladed weapon in ... I think Lindblum: "I remember a guy with Spiky hair who used this." Then at the end, "no cloud or squall shall hinder us!" I thought that was a nice touch. Those are the only ones I can remember though.
Also, to the dude that posted the Halo3 RvB easter egg. Thank you, I was laughing for like 30 seconds straight. Love those guys XDDD

In Left 4 Dead while playing as Zoey, very occasionally when you look at one of the messages on the wall that says "God is dead," Zoey will say "Oh no! The zombies killed god!"
Wrong! I remember those! I was actually gonna mention them, but you beat me to it. Go you! XD The Ewok was in level 4, and Max's face was in level...uh, 8, I think. It's been a while.Calax said:
Anyway! Sorry if this gets spammy, I love Easter eggs. XD;
Near the end of the Sierra game "Torin's Passage", you end up in a room full of green crystals with various people frozen inside them. One of those people is Tomoe Hotaru, the civilian alter ego of Sailor Saturn (from the anime "Sailor Moon", for those of you unfamiliar with the character).
In "Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos", clicking on the large bushes that are scattered around the forest areas will sometimes elicit the message, "Is that a Pseudobushia Hugiflora?" from one of the characters in your party. This is a reference to "The Legend of Kyrandia", an earlier Westwood game and the first game in the Kyrandia series, in which a large bush called the Pseudobushia Hugiflora grants you a very useful ability.
And that's not the only Kyrandia reference in this game. In the Urbish Mines, you can pick up a note that reads "Piscata Rosea 4 4 5". Near the end of "Kyrandia", you can pick up a fish from a castle bedroom that is referred to in your inventory as a Piscata Rosea. Now, what does Piscata Rosea mean? Why..."Red Herring", of course.
Speaking of red herrings, early in "Sanitarium", you find yourself in a nearly-abandoned village. One of the houses has a large sign on its roof with a red fish painted on it. If you go into the house and poke around, Max will come out a few seconds later and say, "Crap, I was sure there'd be something interesting in there."
In "Silent Hill 3", if you investigate the toilets in a bathroom, and if you have "Silent Hill 2" data on your memory card, Heather will turn to the camera, give you a disgusted look, and go, "What kind of sick person would do that kind of thing?" Referring, of course, to James and his penchant for sticking his bare hand into disgusting clogged toilets. >_<
Okay, last one, I swear! In "The Longest Journey", there's an important inventory item: a talking toy monkey called Constable Guybrush. This is actually a double reference; first there's the obvious one to Monkey Island, and if you examine it, April will warn against calling the Constable a monkey, which is a reference to the Librarian in the Discworld books, who is an orangutan and hates being called a monkey. And continuing with the LucasArts references, you later end up in a part of the city where there are two streets called Calavera St. and Threadbare St. (Grim Fandango and Loom, respectively). ...Plus, I'm not totally sure about this, but I think Constable Guybrush is voiced by Earl Boen, who did the voice of LeChuck in the Monkey Island games.
DUDE! How did I miss that one?!Anarchemitis said:
Also, in Half-Life 2, at various points you can see Gman. I think he follows Gordon(duh.)
Some of my favorites: When you go into Kleiner's lab, go to the table with the hula dancer toy. Wait for Barney to turn the monitor on, and if you use the 'use' button to cycle through, you can see him standing in front of a fence. He'll walk away pretty quick, but he's there.
Also, when you first enter the underground railroad, the Vortigaunt in the container thing will be powering up a TV. If you look at it before it stops, Gman is right there.
Then, in Water Hazard near the beginning...There's a building on the right side of the river...If you save around here, and then quit, the main menu's background will show the building...But anyway, he'll be just standing there on the bridge.
Yeah, he's everywhere, and it kind of creeps me out. =P
In the beta version of Left 4 Dead there is a cereal box with an image of a character from Team Fortress 2 in a fingerine form. Although on the box it says "Collect all 10!"
A few from Guild Wars:
In the endgame area of Nightfall, The Domain of Anguish, there's an endboss type enemy called "The Darkness." When you cctrl +click on him to call your target, your character will say: "I'm attacking the darkness!"
There's also a quest you can do whose reward is an ogre slaying knife, which has +9 against ogres
I shouldn't have to say what these are both from

Because knowledge of his existence comes so naturally for me, I've never considered Gman an easter-egg before.Crazzee said:
Once you get the Airboat Gun in Water Hazard, he appears once more on a rail bridge before a fork in the canal. [The canal dictates you go left, and the right path is blocked with a metrocop in it.] The next sighting is on a platform at the Sunset Dam after the Helicopter battle. The platform is marked 'Observation'.
He next appears in the rail yard beyond the snipers behind several wrecked cars. Without Noclip, it is incredibly difficult to see him.
I don't consider him an Easter Egg, but the fact that you can see him all throughout the game could be called one.Anarchemitis said:
I loved the Fable one, where you could hit the bricks in order to spell the Door's name, HITS, but you can spell SHIT instead and two Balverines start to attack you, and the door goes "Awww, shit!"
My favourite is the GOW Corpser though. I actually laughed so hard.
