Tiny Miniscule Details about Games that go unnoticed.

[RaffB]

Im talking about insignificant little details in games that nobody mentions or remembers.

For Example.

None of the alien species in Mass Effect have any hair...although a large yeti like krogan would have been epic.

Gears of War....Where does the fuel for the chainsaw come from?

Mass Effect.....Where are the toilets in the citadel? Also, how many different ones must there be? I would not like to follow after a krogan has done his business

Mass effect - They all seem... Human at core. Krogan are our violent nature, asari our wise/whimsical nature, Quarians our technology, Volus the greed, etc.

In reference to the bathrooms thing, there are some in the citadel (in the Dark Star lounge) but that's the only place I remember.

Man, I never thought about the hair thing. Imagine Garrus with a mullet!

Almost every game that uses vehicles as the main transport, what's fueling these vehicles?

They do? Can't remember it being mentioned in any of the games. Except for that rather lazy picture of Tali

The terminal that you can repeatedly activate in a certain races secret base in ME3 that provides hilarious results. Won't go into too much detail, but those dudes that used to eat flies and lick their eyeballs don't like you touching their stuff.

To be fair, Shep didn't have her own fecal matter analyzer. When else would she get to mess with one?

I've got nothing for the actual topic matter, the closest thing I can think of is Matriarch Benezia = Deanna Troi. And that's just a case of same actress...

The trailer for Silent Hill: Downpour that came out a year-ish ago had a Final Fantasy XIII reference in it. (On one of the TVs was showing a picture of Sazh's face, his name, and the chocobo.)

There are LOTS of things in Portal and Portal 2 you learn about just by listening to the developer's commentary. For example, in Portal 1 just as you enter GLaDOS's chamber, there is a red phone on the desk to the left of the door. This red phone was supposed to be an emergency communications system for the Aperture scientists to use if they needed to shut down GLaDOS if necessary. Though they never had a chance to outright tell this story in the game, it's still nice that they kept it in as a little embellishment on the world to make it that much deeper.
