8:44 I see a reference not only to the lord of the rings but also to the terminator. If you look at the lower left corner you will see a familiar hand sticking out of the lava

[@WolfiesHub]

And Invader Zim, Gir is on the robot assembly line

[@avramnovorra]

Good eye!

[@Xanaxlite]

@@WolfiesHub hey mate look at Gir on the assembly line and to the top right of him you can see a robot head from a familiar futuristic show

[@tonypeppermint5329]

Nice.

[@grahamcrosbie2255]

@@WolfiesHub Wall-E also appears on the same assembly line later

[@melonuke3730]

Starting off in the crysis easter egg, I was thinking "oh boy, another Star Wars reference" so it made me pretty happy to see Scrat. Also cause I love Ice Age

[@Mememaster-og6pz]

Same

[@tonypeppermint5329]

I hope for more Ice Age Easter Eggs.

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Yeah, great movie, with at least two good sequels. And then it slumped hard. Stupid unnecessary followups.

[@Thwipy]

Yeah I thought a wampa was about to appear or maybe Luke’s lightsaber stuck in the ice

[@thatcokestuff]

Exactly what I thought too

[@grummdoesstuff2983]

At 8:50, you can also see GIR, the robot companion to Zim from Invader Zim, on the conveyor belt in the top left. Not a movie detail, but one from a show.

[@grummdoesstuff2983]

@@R0etepet0et say it again, make it more likely that he’ll see it.

[@liseannlopez8414]

There’s also a Bender head above & to the right of that conveyor belt!

[@fullbatteries1335]

And a Mouser from TMNT right before it.

[@pacifistminigun3987]

I noticed it looked familiar, but i thought it was just the robot design

[@michaelaguilera6946]

And on the bottom left corner of the map you can see the Terminator hand from Terminator 2’s ending

[@nuv2987]

7:40 there’s also an Easter egg (dunno if you covered it yet) referencing this in Mortal Kombst 11. If terminator and Jacqui Briggs fight he’ll say he accomplished his mission after jacqui asks “is it true that sub zero’s now plain zero”

[@Demon666x3]

How Micheal Vs Jason hasn't been an actual movie yet I'll never know.

[@JoeyA1]

they would be unstoppable if they teamed up

[@nigeldean3726]

@@JoeyA1 vs. Implies against each other

[@JONINXBOX]

The ending would have to be like the ending of Death becomes her… 😂

[@ToxicQueen2787]

Because Jason would absolutely destroy Myers and this is why Freddy is the better combatant and not Myers

[@michaw.2168]

Yeah about that game. How is she holding that flashlight 💣🔦💣

[@danaondrackova3431]

I love how you get silent to wait for the easteregg to be visible. I like to guess it myself and its so fun :-) also 9:05 everyone watches Golum but misses that thumbs up sticking from the molten iron on the left :D

[@armandoroman5790]

Is it just me or is that gir from "invader zim" on the belt on the top left in the same clip

[@Daniel-nn8mr]

Well he has to go silent to show it off. It's kinda obvious.

[@PillarOfCats101]

@@armandoroman5790 Yeah I noticed gir too.

[@danaondrackova3431]

@@Daniel-nn8mr well he does not need to get silent, but its a nice touch to let us focus outselves. I just point out his nice video editing

[@sinanerenerk]

8:45 if you look closely to the left side of the screen, inside the silo (or probably a smelter) you can see the famous thumbs up from the movie Terminator 2

[@King-ic1mk]

He did that already

[@sinanerenerk]

@@King-ic1mk oh I missed that, thanks :)

[@Officer1774]

Not an Easter egg, but I was replaying Astros Playroom on PS5, and in the main hub, after you punch other Astros and they start following you, when you start to enter a new level, like Cooling Springs, if you turn around and look at them, they'll start waving bye excitedly. I probably didn't explain it correct and it may not be that big, but it's a detail I liked.

[@King-ic1mk]

Thats not a thing at all

[@mr.r5207]

Big detail

[@Officer1774]

@@King-ic1mk oh okay I must've been blind while playing the game thanks for clearing that up.

@@quinnybinny4983 there robots just use the reprogramming excuse you just knocked there circuits out of place

[@Breadman64]

The Friday the 13th reference goes even deeper. The model of Jason is from Friday the Thirteenth The Game (I think) and the sound that plays when you see him in that clip (not the Halloween theme) is also featured in Friday the Thirteenth The Game.

[@bioshockgamer13]

I wouldn't be surprised if Michael Myers was ripped from DBD.

[@subjectdelta4758]

There’s a Ghostface “Easter egg” in one of the Hitman games. I don’t remember which one exactly but there’s a level where you can disguise yourself as the villain of an author’s book which resembles Ghostface.

[@rozasupreme]

In the Ghostbusters game, if you keep checking the answering machine between levels, eventually one message will say "Who Busts the Ghostbusters?" a reference to Watchmen

[@tanixproductions6169]

The OG back again with another batch of Easter eggs

[@aaronzombieslaya_yt6464]

The hallway fight sequence in sifu isn't only referencing the scene in old boy but its also referring to the hallway fight scene in a movie called the raid

[@justinmark8653]

8:46 there’s also Gir from Invader Zim, terminator hand in lava, and bender’s head in between claws

[@karahime0723]

Been a while since I've checked your vids, sorry bout that. But few seconds in and the nostalgia and love of your tone is just kicking in immediately, thanks for stayin' active!

[@wexer9350]

I came for The Punisher, I'm surprised no one even mentioned him.

[@outerheavengaming6196]

I was thinking the exact same thing lol I saw the thumbnail and was like "no fkn way is Jonny b Punisher in a game and I missed it"

[@dE4tH6666]

At 10:27 I thought it was a reference to that one scene from daredevil since you were using punisher

[@Austin0247]

I don't know if this has been covered, but in Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, if you shoot an enemy in certain spots (for example, the foot) they recoil and start to lift their leg that was shot up.

[@QubertTakesWs]

Im pretty sure at 5:22, when you died in Sunset Overdrive, you ragdolled, and you could here the flatline sound from either garrys mod or half life, especially since you ragdolled like in garrys mod!

[@alpha-tomahawk532]

Because... Flatlining is a real thing?

[@maxmayfire9958]

The chalkboard door made me think of that one drake and josh episode in the treehouse 😂

[@swinaecologist9610]

That was a magic marker door but yeah still funny 🤣🤣🤣

[@christopherhodge2267]

The tower defense game had a reference to Terminator also. A thumbs up can be seen in the molten steel off to the left.

[@brenolk4642]

It’s been a long while since we had an It, Back to the Future, and Titanic Easter Egg in a single game

[@randomretroplays3123]

I'm a huge Tim burton fan so I knew instantly what the chalk door was. It's a really cool Easter egg. Love your content 👍⭐💯

[@PillarOfCats101]

[@deadpoolnerd]

Seeing that ending one really makes me realize how interesting classic slasher could translate to a good videogame. Nightmare on Elm Street maybe a survival type game trying to keep your character awake long enough to learn the origins of Freddy and how to defeat him, if you daze out or run out of energy and sleep you go into the combat against Freddy in dream warrior sequences. Or just as well with Hellbound, someone opens the box so it's your character vs deadites trying to close it and send them back. A fun royal esque crossover have all the classic slashers together on a map and the goal is to become the most feared so it's how many kills and how many gruesome scary kills to win.

[@gusthechicken4747]

@@Slimmdy how did you know?!??!?

[@The_f4113m]

Ice age was one of my favorite movie when I 12 and I can't believe it's been 20 years since it was released

[@LDZombie]

at 8:53 there is also Ger (i think thats how you spell his name) on the little conveyer belt in the top left corner, its a reference to Invader Zim a popular cartoon in the 90s/early 2000s. Its a great show from my childhood and i would know that plucky lil taco loving robot anywhere!

[@LDZombie]

oh and i just seen this one but in the bottom left of the same part there is also a thumbs up in the pool of lava, pretty sure from memory thats from terminator but not sure what one (never really got into those movies)

[@BViperThomas]

In the "Gollum" Easter egg, there's also another one. Right to the left of it, there's a vat of lava with a hand sticking out with a thumbs up. That's a Terminator reference. That's kinda cool too!

[@anbucoleson]

Let’s gooo a new video thanks for uploading man I hope u have a good day

[@mesza4962]

In Kingdom Rush Vengeance, if you looked in the opposite corner of the Golum easter egg, there is a slight chance that on the conveyor belt Gir from Invade Zim will appear. It actually happens in this video. Keep a look out for the robot with the big blue eyes

[@bread2368]

I love how for the shrek reference in serious Sam… they just write “Somebody…” I legit expected someone to pop out of the outhouse for a sec

[@jackcutter2]

8:53 I noticed the little robot dude from Invader Zim in the top left. GIR

[@shanedawndusk3290]

R. Balboa having slurred speech is also brilliantly hilarious

[@ayrtonoliver2874]

8:59 On the left of the screen, in those lave crates, is that a hand I see? Maybe a reference to terminator? Maybe?

[@voreio]

at 8:51 you can also see Grr from Invader Zim on the conveyor belt top left as well as the robot’s head from futurama at the top

[@antomie]

That chalk door also reminds me of pan's labyrinth. Ophelia had a book as well.

[@husnainnaeem553]

Daaaammmm that is really some Aewsome and Amazing Easter Eggs I have seen 🤟🏿🤟🏻🤟

[@freedomturtle2445]

at 8:56 in the top left corner of the screen near where the money and other things are there is a conveyor belt and on that belt is a blue eyed robot named GIR from the 2001 show Invader Zim!

[@bluesteel1664]

"Tower defense games have close to no Easter eggs" TDS Retired/Walt White Cowboy skin: "Am I a joke to you?"

I like that ending theme, it's sick

[@LittleBitRusty]

In the "Kingdom Rush Vengeance" footage, you can see GIR from Invader Zim on the robot making machine

[@gamalielcovarrubias2757]

During 9:06 I noticed that there's a thumbs up on the left side in one of the little lava pits being a reference to terminators scene when he goes in the lava

[@Pandabro2010]

Also at 8:51 if you look at the robots being made you can see a robot with big blue eyes. I think that is a EE to the series Invader ZIM

[@INF_Marson]

Bro ur my fav easter eggs KZbinr 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@hadenwhitaker4788]

In kingdom rush vengeance at 8:51 if you look in the back ground where the robots on the conver belt you can see gir from Invader Zim

Best video captain eggcellent!👍☺

[@Gigadenny]

Beta tested in Fallout 76, can confirm that it wasn’t there and only came in around the wastelanders update.

[@rockero1313]

I think the Borderlands games have tons and some of the best Movies and Pop Culture Easter Eggs in all games. here are some I remember right now. B1: the body of "Bruce Maclane" (Bruce Willis + John Maclane) "Mad Mel" (Mad Max + Mel Gibson) Skagzilla and Mothrakk Bpre-seq: an area with a black monolith that when you touch it you see a vision of space and a baby and other crazy stuff 2 robots, 1 golden and tall and the other short and white a gun named "E-GUN" that shoots a laser stream B2: There's a random box with a head inside a lot of guns have movie quotes in the description B3: more movie quotes in guns

[@jimjam1004]

In kingdom rush vengeance in the clock work factory there’s a thumbs up in the lava from terminator 2 judgement day

[@cplmilcicnick2859]

8:53 i am not sure if you covered this but on the factory thing conveyor belt you can find gir from the show invader zim.

[@solarboxin]

At 8:55 if you look at the conveyor belt in the background,you can see Gir from Invader Zim

[@Tucher97]

9:10 so I see plenty of references such as teh thumbs up in the lava from terminator 2, bender's head from futurama, the robot from invader zim on teh assembly line along wiht Wall-e from Wall-e, also teh orc there is a semi clear reference to grom hellscream from warcraft 3, more so in warcraft 3 grom flies a purple banner. Hecka little before that there was the warcraft 3's orc's barracks.

[@mattmurphy8942]

We yell out “2319” when ever something bad happens at my work, it’s actually pretty funny.

Special Easter egg There’s a 100% chance of me liking this video

[@Le_Purple_Troll]

In the kingdom rush easter egg i saw a hand that was doing a thumbs up in the lava pit wich is an easter egg to the iron giant

[@StylishRuffianSlayerW.Crowbar]

In kingdom rush vengeance you can also see a thumbs up coming out of the lava a reference to terminator

[@_Moss_]

Not sure if anyone has said this but when he's talking about the Shrek reference the mission names is 'Roadsides Picnic' and that's a reference to a popular book that inspired the Metro and S.T.A.L.K.E.R series

[@Cat-grf]

5:07 I also think it's a reference to the Fallout's loading screen

[@blacktemplar1139]

Funfact, the original Kingdom Rush has a lot of references, like saving Freedo, which is a Star Wars reference

[@chelsiewicklander2760]

Theres also a reference to bender from Future Rama it's on one of the floaty things

[@sicklyaura9228]

Ok, that one with Cloverfield Lane is the first time I've ever seen it referenced. I watched it a few years ago and I knew it looked familiar, just couldn't put my finger on it

[@Drog2099]

76: *shows chalk door* Me: *has seen Beetlejuice way too many times* Is... Is that Beetlejuice???

[@K4TSam]

at 8:50 i can spot 2 other easter eggs, on one of the molten iron vats there's the terminator thumbs up, and on the assembly line above theres a small robot that looks like that one character from invader Zim (i don't know the name, never watched the show)

[@gr8ghostly133]

7:49 was funny. "try saying that time 5 fast"

Chivalry 2 Easter egg is if you get your arm chopped off, a message will pop up saying “tis but a scratch” referencing Monty pithon and the holy grail

[@sad_scythe-4434]

On kingdom rush vengeance on the conveyor belt at the top I saw the little robot from invader zim enter the florpus

[@ZombieBrofist13]

So I found another back to the futer Easter egg in a game that I don't think you covered, it's on steam call The coin game, when the person that drop you off at the arcade if you watch the car leave it takes off like the bttf car

[@avramnovorra]

Seeing the Punisher as a skin to Sifu is hella cool, even if i dont play it myself

[@michaelandreipalon359]

The 2004 video game by Volition better be rereleased these days.

[@Chris-es7jq]

In 7:25 I realized that Jacqueline Briggs from MK XI does this reference when fighting The Terminator.

[@deadpoolnerd]

The Scrat easter egg was a surprise. I thought for sure it'd be a Star Wars easter egg, like a disembodied arm or a lightsaber.

[@TotallyNotaOuterGod]

Not sure if it's something already known but on the my precious easter egg the machine in the back with the robots has grr from zim on it

[@r1ghttwixie675]

I watched the move with the cyberpunk movie pretty good

There's a ton of pop culture references in Borderlands 3. There's a Sniper Rifle thats description says "she's gone from suck to blow." Witch is a reference to Spaceballs And there's even a SpongeBob Refrence

[@TheNeonMullet]

When showing off the gollum reference you can also see Gir from invader zim on the top conveyer belt

[@TheNeonMullet]

Theres also bender’s head top of the screen

[@royf241]

In Fallout: New Vegas with the Wild Wasteland perk, the giant rats in Broc Flower Cave will be named "Rodents of Unusual Size", a reference to the movie The Princess Bride, where the giant rats in the Fire Swamp are called "ROUS", or "Rodents of Unusual Size".

[@chelsiewicklander2760]

In the video at 8:52 there is a terminator reference in one of the lava tanks

[@chelsiewicklander2760]

there is also another reference to Planet Zim on the Conveyer belt it's the little robot

[@evaldasjonaitis3524]

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy also has Running man Easter egg if you try to interact with boombox in the kitchen in the flashback scene star lord's mother will say "do not touch the dial" (I'm probably butchering it) the line from the Running man. It's a stretch but it's "back to the future" Easter egg too. That line was said by singers Frank Zappa's son, there is Frank Zappa monument in Lithuania and "Back to the future" director's Robert Zemeckis father is from Lithuania. I know this because I'm from Lithuania

[@Dragonstorm1234]

Hannibal lecter was NOT first seen in silence of the lambs, but manhunters, he was played by Brian Cox

[@bitchboy_snieder]

8:53 is that the robot from invader Zim in the background on the conveyor belt

[@ahmarani4419]

I just love when u say : …… you can find this

[@MsBlackdeath13]

I think the Stranger Things Easter egg is also a reference to the fact that Robert Englund (who also played Freddy Krueger), plays a character in Stranger Things.

[@Cowboyinow2]

On the kingdoms vengeance there was the guy from invader zum on the conveyer belt

[@Lostxfame]

"Gir" from invader Zim was in the top left on the belt in that tower defense game. at least I think it was Gir.

8:52 there is also a terminator reference on the left

[@freddiepflueger5320]

Also, Don't know if you saw this, In Vengeance in the lava pool on the left, the thumbs up with the black gloves is a reference to the terminators death in Terminator 2: Judgment Day
