In fact, Jack's truest evil wasn't attempting to condemn the world to darkness, but instead condemning it to listening to Weaver via a one way medieval walkie talkie that you couldn't mute.

Im be mad if Maiq the Liar isn't present He's not in the video :( Maiq the Liar's every word is a joke about the choices made in the development of Skyrim. Like, he'll tell you not to worry about where the snow falls, because snow clips through roofs. He'll mention having an ancestor also called Maiq the Liar to explain why he looks different in all the Elder Scrolls games. He talks about how people in Skyrim are better looking, etc.

[@SevCaswell]

Not just Skyrim, Maiq or his ancestors have been around since chapter 3 Morrowind.

Although that was answered in the Pokemon Origins anime. In said anime, Red reports to a hospital after learning that Blue got into a bike accident. How did Blue injure himself, you ask? He tried to ride a bike indoors and possibly collided with every bit of furniture in the house.

As I played a Wizard in Fable, I was much more prone to hearing "Hero, your will energy is low; watch that"

Actually, Fable 2 had TWO references to the Guildmaster's constant refrain. In the town of Bloodstone, there's a potion shop called "Your Health is Low."

One more thing about Max Payne. In Max Payne 2, the Noir guy (a TV series following events of the first game) has a line where he says, "I was speaking metaphors. I had a permanent grimace on my face."

I like monkey island the joke of Stan. His jacket is a recurring visual gag seen throughout the series. Whenever Stan flails his arms around hysterically the check-pattern on his jacket remains stationary. This was originally because of technical restrictions but has since become a standard part of his appearance.

"Allan, please add more details" easter egg is really hilarious! I saw that note in Sapienza level but I didn't understand what does it mean. It's even funnier to learn the meaning behind this not now, months after I finished Hitman 2. Should I go download it from Steam again?🤔

I really liked the Dragon Age health poultice easter egg from Origins/Inquisition. In the first game you use health "poultices" to restore your health, but you drink them as if they're potions In Inquisition, Bull mentions that their party healer, "Stitches", makes great health potions that taste terrible. He replies "That's because it's a poultice, ser. You're not supposed to drink it." Hearing Iron Bull's sweet sweet voice call attention to it made it so much more wonderful.

[@elementalsgami1]

Let's not forget Square Enix. The game calls Squall the best looking guy at the party despite the low-poly face. Square tweeted a picture from the remake showing the same scene and zooming in to Squall's now remade face.

But the briefcase wasn't a bug It was working as intended, with unexpected consequences Every thrown item in the game is homing, but the briefcase was slower than the rest (Probably because it was filled with legal documents)

Max Payne 2 also had an in-game television show, "Dick Justice", in which the main character is a send-up of everything silly or campy about Max Payne 1. Along with other jokes, it includes the line "I had a permanent, constipated grimace on my face."

[@janna-renee]

I think it's in Max Payne 2 where Max is going mostly door-to-door in an apartment building, tracking down a lead, before bullets fill the air. An old lady answers the door and asks, "Would you like some prune juice, sonny? You look a bit pinched." Fucking L-O-L 🤣

The classic Max Payne face also appears as a classic skin in Max Payne 3, where you can use it in the various single player modes (except, unfortunately, for the campaign, which is depressingly sad) and multiplayer modes, so, yes, you could have a full lobby of people with Max's weird looking face running about in slow-motion and diving everywhere

I don't remember the guild master in Fable being that annoying, I mostly remember it for the ingenious Boast system, being a property magnate and how awesome my character looked in white with the blue will lines flowing through him. Lionhead studios sure made some interesting games, I'd thought a new Black & White game would have been a brilliant VR title and I was rather excited to see Fable Legends, it just seems such a waste of all those ideas. But then again I think that every time Blizzard wastes a brilliant IP on a multiplayer game.
