The messed up thing about the Mirror's Edge reference is that leaving your shoes on the edge of a roof is something Japanese people sometimes do when committing suicide. Combine that with the fact that she's half Asian & you can hear her breathing & it seems like you're hearing her ghost.

He meant obvious as in blatant, easy to find references

Another easter egg with Mr. Bubbles, that first noise he makes sounds identical to Sloth from the Goonies when he yells "hey you guys"

[@DRTrev-ov2nx]

So I found a Easter egg in castle crashers and it is found when you gi into the space ship and after you destroy the green light field Then go left and you can find the game dev's in pods while in the spaceship.

[@jacksondavenport9296]

I found one in ghostrunner where if you kill the enemies and go to the elevator but not go up and instead walk past all the locked down doors the citizens will talk about what is happening/what the boss fight is like

[@sebwoodall7659]

At 7:20 minutes isnt it a reference to James Bond villians? Persian cat and Nehru jacket are both from the villian Blofeld. And underwater base like in the spy who loved me.

[@makeme7261]

For the Skyrim Easter egg there's a Nuka cola that can make you pass out and turn up somewhere random on the map, that's one of the locations you teleport too

[@JackMeoff2112]

Maneater easter egg references Dr. No from the James Bond films, who also had an underwater evil base.

My first thought was Dr Evil.. XD

Mr. Bubbles also says the line from the Goonies

[@HelterSeltzer_the_one]

It was probably done in this channel but I actually like the Peashooter plushie on a bed in Mass Effect Andromeda. Also, Far Cry Primal, a quest where you help someone get feathers to fly, ending in a botched leap of faith. Double reference to Assassin's Creed. Collecting the feathers from AC2, and the leap of faith.

[@beanos7450]

Do you know what I love about this Chanel... is that he doesn’t have a stupid “what is up guys it’s me” or “hey sparkle human followers” just straight into the Easter eggs

[@D_YellowMadness]

I always disliked "What's up" intros in particular because starting a video with a question the viewers can't answer doesn't make sense so it's basically just noise.

[@rh33cymcgeegee80]

Underwater lair is a ref to the Bond film You Only Live Twice. The villain lives in a similar underwater base, wears a Nehru jacket and has a Persian cat

[@dylangiroux7197]

I think borderlands 2's Minecraft Easter egg was their most interesting one. It was well hidden and you literally had to mine blocks to get in AND there was a chance you could get a Minecraft inspired weapon or outfit!

The last one is more of a reference to Minecraft dungeons as it also contains missions that have secret areas that may spawn in a level.

[@SixTheCoffeeAddict]

Hey Captian I think I got a video game detail for you. In jedi fallen order you break your lightsaber during the main mission and you cannot turn it on until later in the game. If you use one of the benches scattered around the world (or in the mantis) you usually turn on the lightsaber after you exit the bench but since it is broken it does not work. I know this detail may seem small but it took me 4 play throughs of the game to find it so maybe others have not heard of it or seen it.

[@karman9518]

Captain Egg: “Only 1 reference per franchise”. Also Captain Egg: “Next Easter egg also comes form the portal series”

[@G.A.N.]

that was pretty nice video, a lot of content in fair short video, going though the content at perfect pace!

[@keeganlafferty1395]

here's another Easter egg from Torchlight 2, after beating bloatfang if you follow a path opposite to the boss reward chest you can find Claptrap who will reward you with either a nut or a bolt which serves as a socketable

[@dakotafogarty5901]

Borderlands 2 has a similar cave in the area that is available once the city becomes airborne. In addition to creepers and mine able blocks there's a sniper rifle that shoots the minecraft arrows.

[@devincollar4335]

In Duke Nukem Forever I believe there is a reference to spartan armor from Halo. In Division 2 (Coney Island carnival mission) just before you exit the haunted house there is a crate with a typewriter, knife, and a green herb on it. Obviously a safe room from Resident Evil!

I don’t know if you have covered this but in GTA V, when you go under the highway tunnel under the military base with a waypoint set (I think it can be anywhere but I’m not sure) the waypoint guide will disappear like it loses signal. I’m not sure if this always happens but I noticed it happen to a streamer DarkViperAU a couple of times (you may have to play around with it). Great video 👍

In Injustice 2, Harley Quinn is voiced by Tara Strong. Harley's hyaenas, Bud and Lou, have pink and green fur. This is a reference to Fairly Odd parents' Cosmo and Wanda. Tara voiced Timmy Turner. Additionally, there are two Marvel references. In an intro with Bizarro and Atom, Bizarro will ask if Atom is "Part man, part ant". Reference to Ant Man and how similar the two characters are. Powergirl will also say in an intro/clash "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry". Reference to the Hulk.

[@alphabetsoup1149]

At 3:55 i thought the reference was that mr bubbles’ first noise sounded like “Hey you guys!” from the goonies

In Forza Horizon 4, there are these things known as Barn Finds, which are classic cars left in derelict condition that you can restore. One of these cars is a red 1983 Audi Quattro, that when you find it, it has a police light on top and is riddled with bullet holes. I believe that this is a reference to the BBC TV show Ashes to Ashes, and the car driven by Philip Glenister’s character Gene Hunt.

The guy you shot at in the Haydee easteregg reminded me of the regenerator (?) from, was it resident evil?

[@MrWebby93]

I woukd say the Maneater easter egg was more a Bond reference, Stromberg built a underwater base in TSWLM, a nehru jacket was worn by Kamal Khan in Octopussy, and Blofeld famously had a persian cat as a pet across multiple films. But it also looks more like Subnautica. Confusing.

[@Sether]

9:15 another cool detail about that location is if your character passes out(I believe after drinking a certain item?) there's a chance you'll respawn and wake up in that cart

[@LeG-qo8vt]
