7 Urban Legends We Believed for Way Too Long

Ways to save Aeris, fix cartridges, get Lara's clothes off and find Bigfoots in San Andreas are just some of the video game urban legends we believed when we were kids, back when bigger kids could convince us they were true because they had uncles who worked at Nintendo. Take a watch, share the urban legends you believed for way too long, and subscribe for a video like this every Thursday: www.tinyurl.com/SubToOxbox
History will remember 1996 as the year that gave us Dolly the cloned sheep, Tupac Shakur album All Eyez On Me, the launch of the first Tomb Raider game and, a few days after that, the first time someone wondered if they could take Lara Croft's clothes off. Spoiler: you couldn't.
Rumours spread in playground whispers of the holy grail of a secret Tomb Raider nude cheat: an arcane sequence of button presses that would whip those adventuring hotpants off faster than Lara on laundry day.
It didn't help that a fake nude cheat was published in nineties gaming mags as an April Fool's Day joke, spreading yet more unverifiable misinformation.
Even further back in the mists of time, when videogames came on cartridges, they would occasionally freeze or crash. Being tiny children with no concept of how games were produced, how cartridges worked, what a cartridge was, or how to put our shoes on properly, we instantly knew how to fix a duff cartridge: blow on the little metal bits inside to remove the bad juju or dust or whatever.
Despite this being universally acknowledged as truth by anyone who owned a cartridge-based system, it turns out in the cold light of 2017 that, the moisture in your breath could actually corrode and contaminate the connectors that allowed your console to read cartridges.
In instances where you'd blown on a cartridge and it had started working again, what most likely happened was apparently just the action of taking the cartridge out of the machine and putting it back in again setting things right. Next you'll be telling me Smarties didn't come in different flavours according to their colour.
That's to say nothing of tales of Minecraft's resident ghost Herobrine, how to unlock the precious gore in Mortal Kombat on the SNES, or how to save nice nurse Lisa Garland from her fate in Silent Hill.

The sadder thing was there actually was a trick to glitching the game to be able to catch a Mew that was actually easier. Had one for a while then made the mistake of transferring it to my Crystal cart which had notoriously rubbish internal batteries. Had every pokemon except Celebi on that at level 55-60 Every. Single.

[@sam2dc]

The tomb raider thing is semi-real, if you had a fake copy of the game you could make her naked. I was friends with this kid from Thailand and all his PS1 games were just burnt CD-roms, I mean the kid had "Thrill Kill" before it became a wu tang clan game and that confused the hell out of me. Anyway he sticks in tomb raider and enters the code clothes come off/become skin coloured. So for years people have said it's fake and it's sort of been gas lighting me, I confirmed with himit was not official and a fan made patch.. So yeah real/fake it was possible

feeling alive The game had odd mechanics regarding how sounds travelled. For example, when you’re in your room at the bar in Armadillo, you could very clearly hear people talking in the poker room downstairs. Like VERY clearly, like they’re in the same room with you.

[@MHurley21]

Glad to find someone else mentioning this. If memory serves, Lisa was murdered by Doctor Kaufmann for learning too much about the cult and his white claudia side business. The Lisa Harry meets is another manifestation of Alessa's psyche like every other monster in the game. Because Lisa was friendly and caring towards Alessa, she came back as an ordinary sane human, until she learned about her own true nature anyway. Lisa got the one-up on Kauffman in the good ending, though.

[@mikelarrutiromero9430]

Edit: I already found some information I forgot about which makes my idea less solid, Lisa was addicted to PTV (which is _made_ from White Claudia, forgot that too.) herself, which is probably why she was trusted around Alessa in the first place.

@@MHurley21 Maibe I'm mixing this with Spiderman 2099's story but. Wasn't Lisa get her drugs given once she starts working with Alesa? So that way she can't quit her job or she wouldn't be able to get white Claudia from Kauffman and Dahlia. In the videotape she keeps saying about the wounds that disgust her and make her throw up and later on adds, "I need drugs" Besides, in the intro cutscene of silent hill, the one with the music before the menu, Lisa is seen arguing with Kauffman and walking away while he is trying to hold her back. Maybe you are right and she dumped the drugs and wanted to quit and talk to the police about what was going on in the basement of the hospital, making Kauffman scared and choosing to murder her and keep his secrets safe.

It has been confirmed it was planned for him to be in it.

[@josevitorcalfa2]

About Lisa Garland, i'm not sure, but if I'm not mistaken, she was already dead a few years. The Lisa we know is nothing more than a manifestation of Alessa Guillespe's memory of her.

[@VentusFury]

Jose Vitor Calfa kind of, also its supposed to be a showing that the games plot drug (white claudia) kills if used too much like an OD

[@ZeldaTheSwordsman]

A nice vid, though you neglected to mention a few things: * The "Ambulance Ending" as a separate myth from saving Lisa * Nintendo being responsible for the "blowing on cartridges" idea. Back when the NES first launched, there was an unfortunate rare instance of Nintendo QC fail brought about by a combination of the rush and Nintendo having to redesign the FamiCom to look like a VCR to get American retailers to actually stock it: Several units in the original 1985 wave shipped with defective pin 72-pin connectors (an untried component developed for the redesign. My best guess as to why Nintendo changed the connector in the first placewould be: to frustrate bootleggers). When people called and complained about their games not working reliably, Nintendo's customer service initially blamed the problem on dusty cartridge contacts and advised people to blow them clean, which most people did with their mouths since compressed air cans (the _proper_ tool for blowing dust out of electronics) weren't as common around the house at the time. ** By the way, if you're going to blow dust out with your mouth. swallow as much of the moisture in your mouth as possible and keep your mouth distant from the object so that remaining moisture can dissipate.

What about pressing A stops long loading times. That’s right. I can lie about things not being true as well

[@rafaelsean8114]

You guys forget Half-Life 3

[@TheChabowski]

Half-Life 3 was pretty good, but it wasn't as good as Kingdoms of Amalur 2.

[@elcactusdelamuerte506]

The source code for this video says that if you like, comment, and subscribe, spin three times while holding your nose, put your left hand in, listen to Jane's wisdom on physics, and lick your Switch cards in order of release date, that Andy will dress up as Bigfoot in a future video

[@srivastava767]

I am sorry I don't have any switch cards, will PS2 memory cards work?

FF7 is still, to this day, one of my all time favorites!! Aeris dying still makes me angry even though I’ve played that game more than once!

"On mature reflection!" Wonderful! "In hind sight," is probably my most frequently spoken phrase. I'm rolling that into my vocabulary. Thanks! Oh. And while I'm here... Big fan. Probably seen every video on both channels. Cheers from Canada.

[@shamrockbrine268]

When he said "can't be saved?! Give me a moment to compose myself..." an ad popped up for me

[@SirRoderickThunderbottom]

what about the oh so many hours we all spent trying to find the mew that could be found under the truck next to the S.S. Anne in the first generation Pokemon games? requiring us to get the HM01 Cut from a link trade to progress through the campaign so we could return to the ship before she leaves with the HM for Surf and using the HM for Strength on the truck from the right angle at the right time of day while we never fought a select number of trainers that could be encountered in the game beforehand.....

[@NattalaChao]

Yeah surprised that one wasn't in this. It's made even better by the fact that there is a way to get Mew in Red and Blue and the list of steps to do it is even crazier than the myth was.

[@ISerathI]

Legend says that if you click "like" forty-five times in less than 10 seconds, you'll unlock the "Haunted Lara Croft Doll That Haunts Oxtra" secret watching mode. My uncle who works at Outside Xbox said so.

[@zapruderofficial69]

I always thought that Lisa was another Silent Hill demon that tried to trick him and that's why she had all the blood falling down her head and walked towards him.

[@nightcoresisters4820]

Omg at the start of the video talking about Aeris and Luke being like "can't be saved... give me a minute to compose myself" and I get a well timed advert. xD

[@WBWhiting]

In the original Pokemon Red/ Blue, you can unlock super secret pokemon by beating the Elite Four 150 times. Super trustworthy, I heard it from a college student.

[@SilentLegion96]

I heard something similar except it's 152 times because there were 151 pokemon at the time. The super ultra secret 152th pokemon!

[@EyeDewDie]

152nd*

[@ORIGINALFBI]

WBWhiting Who worked at Nintendo?

[@GG-dt5hh]

Surf, cut the tyres, strength the car. Shove it. You know what I'm talking about. Need I say more?

[@edenem]

Did you know in almost every update notes in Minecraft it had 'Herobrine removed' Freaky

[@umcThunder72]

Eden Thompson actually it was only one time and it was a joke he has said this several times

[@normalhuman9878]

You can’t remove Herobrine

[@thatkatkrazykid4742]

Eden Thompson It’s a joke

[@Wandergirl108]

Herobrine cannot be removed, for He was never coded. He is not what you think. Years ago, He chose me as one of His disciples, a Herobrinist; He reached out to me, and told me the truth. The world of Minecraft is His, not yours, and yet you destroy and kill whatever you lay your eyes on when you invade His land. You think such cruelty will go unpunished? You will never know success in Minecraft so long as the guardian sees your callousness. Herobrine is the guardian. He is watching you, judging you, always. Be cautious what you do in Minecraft, lest you incur His wrath.

[@LadyOnikara]

@@Wandergirl108 Cool! You know how long I have been looking for another disciple of Herobrine? I've had to hide out pretending I was worshipping Link instead!

[@TheDreamMachina]

I like the cheeky humor on your channel.

[@RIPjkripper]

OMG try to keep a straight face during Jane's monologue. Impossible!

[@VcArena]

Damm Sheng long. I remember reading this in the store as a kid and being rushed by my mother to put the magazine down, totally missing that it was a joke. I got real good at sf 2

[@erickienitz1490]

When I was a kid in the '80s and got a Sega Master System, the first time a cartridge failed I remember we (my Dad and Uncle and myself) tried the puff of air method. Then, both being engineers (my uncle yes, an actual NASA rocket engineer) it just devolved into them trying different sh*t. When woes continued we actually ended up calling Sega and they said, "Use a pencil eraser on the contacts." I still do that to this day. Gets 'em squeaky clean, and you can do it on the contacts in the system slot itself. Drawback: When you get a cartridge shipped f*cked from the factory it never occurred to anyone to just return it for a new one - instead we'd spend literally hours trying to make it work. It wasn't until years later it hit me that we could have gone back to Toys 'R Us and got our money back, at least, or a different game. Engineers man....

[@TheTrueArkher]

When I was six a kid at school told me you could get togepi in red/blue if you beat the elite four with zero healing items.

[@kyleengelmann4192]

urg... ugh... don't unlock the bigfoot mode... urg... I think i'm gonna be sick

[@Intr0vertical]

I always believed that there was a hidden passage in the first Halo under the bridge on the second mission I killed myself so much trying to get to that 2nd bridge and when I got lucky and did reach it I shot that mountain so many times trying to get some passage to open. :(

[@captainknuckles875]

"Basically unplayable piano" i have you know i spent 10 minutes and came up with a sick ass tone. It was hard to pry myself from that piano because every minute that went by was another minute that was put into my ever evolving list of notes that went together. I had more fun with that than the game itself.

[@dant3l0k18]

omg... rofl, didn't know i wasn't subbed yet... been watching outsidexbox for about 2 years now. SUBBED.

[@unkiestbob]

I agree with all of these except for the one about blowing into cartridges. THAT DID WORK!!!

[@Tehsetup99]

shadow of the colossus guys! come on, I didn't even play the game and I'm still invested in finding the 17th colossus

[@calahketts1345]

[@Golden_Spider666]

My uncle actually did work at activision. I remember vividly me working on something during a get together that I now recognize as the beginnings of Destiny. Getting. Video games for my birthday and Christmas from him was awesome

[@timfaulkner7097]

What about the 10 million urban legends on how to unlock the Recon armour in Halo 3?

[@sirbillius]

I don't blow into my cartridge I used a small compressed air canister. like the ones used for computers.

[@lifeincolour09]

That's smart but I bet you didn't do that as a kid. I'm not sure those canisters even existed back then.

[@xpeachypixie]

lifeincolour09 those canisters have existed since canisters existed.... Compressed air is used for more than just blowing dust out of electronics.

[@timmyteaches7663]

lifeincolour09 lmfao.. compressed air cans were patented in 1932... don't say dumb shit unless you're prepared to look really really foolish.

[@shiawasim6142]

That first one hit me in the feels.

[@weregretohio7728]

They say Mew's still under the truck to this day. And you can get the Ice Key in Banjo Kazooie. And the Triforce in Ocarina of Time.

[@elifittz]

One of my favorite urban legends was in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Apparently if you levitated high enough into the sky you'd see dragons flying around. We only had to wait 2 games later for actual dragons to be in the game.

[@Juice1945]

What about the rumor that you can use the light saber in republic commando on the assault ship

[@sassytorchic47]

Funny how my video decided to load when you started saying 'freeze up and crash on you for no reason' 😂 incredible timing youtube well done! 😂 Btw i rember doing # 5 lol 😂 only i did it to blow away dust most times haha i also used a cotten swab with acahool to clean up the inside just in case haha i still have em today and they work just fine lmao

[@AbsolXGuardian]

I think the "get dust out of cartridge" thing is a natural instinct, because I did that with my DS cartridges (although I shook rather than blew on them) without any external knowledge.

[@Tannerj50]

you know , with how successful the game cube remakes of resident evil and metal gear solid twin snakes , i'm surprised a remake of the original silent hill wasn't planned, it would of had my money
