Random gaming trivia

[orangebandguy]

Do you know of any bugs, glitches easter eggs or secrets within a game? Or any kind of mistake made by the programmers.Feel free to share them.

For instance, in MOH:Frontline if you fire the emplaced machine gun and pause the game sometimes spent cartriges will be spinning in the air suspended in the pause screen.

Or that in GTA Vice City if you jump into the nearest window to the news helicopter pad you will find a chocolate easter egg on a podium.

In Team Fortress 2's Meet the Scout the RED team are attacking out of the BLU base.

So lets hear them.

Well...not really a secret but i only found out recently that...Ray Liotta, Dennis Hopper and William Fichtner do voice work in Vice City.

But anyway! In Half Life 2 during the Black Mesa East part when you talking to Eli theres a bookshelf and on that bookshelf theres a book named LOST.

The woman who voices GlaDos is also a voice actress in all the other Valve games in the Orange Box.

Charles The Plant from Morrowind was a nice one. And M'Aiq of course.
The GetALife skyscraper from GTA IV is a classic.

ohhh I got tons of these!


In Sly 3: Honour Among Thieves are two references in the opening cutscene of Peril Down Under.
While the gang are playing a game, a small portrait of a furry Carmen Sandiego is next to Sly. And the more obvious reference is when Murray carries his mentor through the swamps being a visual homage to Luke's training with Yoda in Empire Strikes Back.

In Final Fantasy IX, there's quite a few references to some of the past games and one from Monty Python.
One of the beginning fights with Steiner has him saying "Bah! Merely a flesh wound!"
As for Final Fantasy references there's Zidane's comment about "a guy with spiky hair wielding something like this" when examining the swords in Lindblum's weapons store.
One of Freya's most powerful weapons is called Kain's Lance.
And Zidane once says to Dagger "Nothing can stop us, no Cloud nor Squall!"

The ambassador from TF2 looks alot like the handcannon from RE4, without the engraving.

 

[coldwarkid]

In the game MadWorld, Greg Proops voices the announcer Howard "Buckshot" Holmes.

That makes for good times.

Also, I've just noticed it's completely irrelevant!

The ambassador from TF2 looks alot like the handcannon from RE4, without the engraving.

I think thats cause they're both based on the Smith & Wesson Model 500.

In Abstergo labs in Assassins Creed, I managed to jump onto Vidic's table by rapidly pressing the B button near it. I can't do it any more though

You can find the corpses of Indiana Jones and Luke Skywalker in Morrowind and Tribunal, respectively.

The final battle with Kefka in FF6 is a direct reference to Divine Comedy. And I don't mean when you fight just his god form, I'm talking about that monstrous tower thing you fight before him.

In Mega Man X you can get a haduken or however you spell it.

Vagrant Story is set in or some place around Ivalice

The guy who voices Marcus Fenix is Bender from Futurama. That one dumbfounded me the first time I heard it.

In Earthbound (Mother 2) you can walk northward in Fourside near the bar that brings you to Moonside and read a small note in front of the abandoned building that gives you a clear hint that team APE is hard at work on Earthbound 2 (Mother 3)

Dragonite's stats are superior to that of Moltres.

Shuckle has the highest defense stat of any Pokemon.

In the early development, Master Chief can use a normal sword.
