In Mass Effect 3, if you import a save from Mass Effect 2 in which Mordin Solus died, his role in the story is filled by another salarian scientist named Padok Wiks. This salarian has several funny lines about the plan to reverse the sterilization of the krogan race, such as, "Large and presumably irritable infants will soon follow."

[@bibbobella]

@@deadersurvival4716 I have never really understood that. I am all for giving some kids a few simple jobs, but I wouldn't ever let a bloody child look after my baby... I can't trust a 16 year old to bring their own pencils to school, how in the world could I ever trust them to look after an infant for a couple of bucks an hour. America is weird... Leave a baby outside in a stroller fully visible from the cafe' window where you are sitting and you WILL get arrested for endangering a child, but leave a child for hours with a random 15 year old that you can't even trust to make their own doctor's appointment and everything is perfectly fine!

[@deadersurvival4716]

@@bibbobella I think the point is to be able to trust them first. And, in most cases, to actually occupy the house so they can call emergency services if needed rather than watch the kid themselves. If you're leaving your kid and your house with a teenager you don't know, that's probably a bigger issue. Most people at least get to KNOW the kid first. Also, most adults (i.e. the parents themselves) can't be trusted with those things either. What are you talking about?

[@bibbobella]

@@deadersurvival4716 I am talking about American culture, and how I find it weird...what is not to understand? We don't have a "babysitter" culture here. You might have a nanny if you are some rich family with time consuming jobs, but even that is looked down upon. If you need your kids watched over, you would either have it be some trusted friend, a grandparent or something along those lines, paying an almost stranger, and especially a teenager, to keep an eye on your child would be seen as really bloody weird here.

Fun fact about Spider-Man's NPC discussions, the way they managed to make it sound like there are dozens of conversations going on around you is by having a group of the actors talk to each other while they were walking in circles around a microphone.

[@Rusty84CV]

[@DPowered2]

thats common practice but still interesting if you didn't know how they sometimes do crowd noise

[@Foxy02016]

Also a lot of the dialogue was improvised, as confirmed at a panel. One of the NPC VA’s said how they just had them riff to make the ambient conversations in New York. Thats what makes the conversations so funny

[@SolaScientia]

Both Portal games are absolutely full of hidden lines depending on what the player decides to do or not to do. You can stand around in the first puzzle Wheatley makes and refuse to solve it and he finally caves and solves it himself with some sassy dialogue. I forget how long you have to wait, but it's a decent bit of time. Oh, breaking the monitors he's on is hilarious as well.

[@MtnNerd]

I got that one because I went for a snack without pausing

[@Tyindel]

there's also a ton of dialogue of him trying to convince you to jump into the pit in the final chapter. i don't think i've heard the entire line as it goes on getting increasingly absurd as to what's in the pit. There's so many lines you can just miss altogether in a playthrough in Portal 2 although a ton of them you will hear if you go achievement hunting

[@cae2212]

There are also ways to "softlock" yourself in portal that will lead to glados commenting on it before begrudgingly getting you out of your self made prison

Deathloop has a great bit of hidden dialogue if you manage get to the very end of the game, after killing all the others, but before getting to the final showdown, you instead fall of the ramp on the way and cause yourself to re-loop, julianna will mock Colt for dying in such a stupid way.

I confess I don't remember the technique I used on this occasion, but I can confirm I didn't eat any of the skin.

[@caelreth]

In Dungeon Keeper 2, if you were playing during the night, the narrator would occasionally reference it, saying "It is the witching hour, curses are half price"(at midnight) "Are you still here? The imps were just locking up" "Surely even dungeon keepers have some sort of lair to retire to?" "You know the soft item of furniture in the next room? It has the power to restore fatigue", and, if you were playing at 5am, you got "your nocturnal endurance has earned you this hidden gameplaying tip: GO TO BED!" (Might not be 100% accurate, it was a about 20 years ago, and, as mentioned, 5am)

[@ChaosMaster130]

While not DK2, War for the Overworld also had those kind of lines. What with it being a sequel to DK2 in all but name. And having the same guy who voiced the DK2 lines say the WftO lines. I know I heard a lot of those kind of lines from all my late night playthroughs of it.

[@Blargerhonk]

This reminds me of a game that messed with your actual Windows username, or something like that. It might have just read your username, and screwed with the game if it was a certain name?

In Mass Effect 2, companion Garrus is known for calibrating. it's his Thing. whenever he doesn't have new dialog, he's Calibrating. also in his romance, he mentions a previous romance where he mentions matching "her flexibility with his reach". all the way over in Dragon Age Inquisition, Cullen - one of your Advisors, worries about calibrating some trebuchets. and your companion, Varric will comment in banter with another companion Sera, about how his previous relationship failed to work out because he lacked reach and she lacked flexibility. the first bit will happen in any playthrough, but the second... not only will you need to have accomplished Varric's personal quest to trigger that conversation, but you need to have both Varric AND Sera in your party for an extended period of time, which most players won't because they are BOTH rogues, and you only need one to pick locks.

Due to Dragon Age Inqusition only triggering banter once every 15minutes, with that timer resetting on every loading screen and pausing when you mount, pretty much any line of banter counts.

The best part is that misunderstanding "petroleum jelly" as "gasoline" because of the "petroleum" part is an actual mistake someone could make while nervous and stressed out.

[@RandomGreymane]

⁠there’s plenty of videos on it. IIRC you have to go over the top of one of the planes.

[@Alsebra]

@@RandomGreymane, just watched a quick video of it and that's exactly the same way to leap the wall and "explore" the "Wasteland" without technically leaving Megaton (since you didn't leave via a door, you're still in Megaton, even if you're far away). This is somewhat useful info to have, though, since there are times that residents of the town slip between the temporal cracks themselves and end up a good distance away from the town (this happened to me a few times with a quest target, so I had to corral them...by finding them and chasing them back to town and having them enter through the front door)...instead of taking the right turn along the wall, clear the wall (you'll likely take fall damage, but it's minor) and make for the school that's somewhere near Megaton and you'll find the townie (to get them to head back to town, though, they'll have to be aggroed so you can either have them chase you to town (if they get offensive) or chase them to town (if they flee)...either way, you'll have to wait until the town calms down to re-enter safely; there are also areas in the void that can cause you or them to get stuck on invisible geometry (or in a small hole), so it's slow going).

[@F1Krazy]

Another great one is in Sonic Heroes. In Team Chaotix's final level, there's a line early on that usually doesn't trigger because the client's introductory speech is still playing by the time you get to the trigger point. If you wait for him to finish speaking and then reach the trigger point, Charmy says something like "We'll be able to meet our client soon!" and Vector, who's already figured out that the client is actually Eggman, replies, "Riiiiiight... our client. We should probably rescue them". The fact that Vector knows and the others don't is funny enough, but Vector's delivery is absolutely priceless. I wish there was a clip of it on KZbin but I can't find one.

I'm so glad that more people are able to learn about the SotN hidden message. I was pretty sure that would be lost to time.

[@Alsebra]

The SotN message may be lesser known to the newer crop of gamers (especially those that prefer to not use physical media), but plenty of games in that era did this (I can vividly recall Skies of Arcadia and Seaman having bits like this...and I'm pretty sure Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors did it too (maybe even the similar Mobile Suit Gundam games)).

"My tummy feels funny." Honestly, most (if not all) of the RTS games of that time have hilarious lines like that. My favorites always came from Age of Empires, though...especially since the game also had "hidden" taunts/AI commands (only accessible through correct inputs on the same screen in which you entered codes); you get your usual "Yes/No" response, requests for supplies, and offensive/defensive call-outs...but then you get stuff like: "Sure, blame it on your ISP." "Ack! He rushed." "All hail king of the losers!" "Long time, no siege." "Monk! I need a monk!" "You played 2 hours to lose like this?" "Yeah, well, you should see the other guy." ...and my absolute favorite: "WOLOLO!" (yes, the monk noise)

Portal 2: There are multiple times where you hear a plethora of different lines you often miss out on because you want to finish the game.

Superhero real time tactic game Freedom Force has a level where if you explore correctly you will discover two 'goons' having an in depth conversation about particle physics, before they spot you and devolve back to 'classic gangster-isms'

[@Alsebra]

Freedom Force was a criminally underrated game, dammit...especially knowing its pedigree and where the folks behind it went from there. Most of the cast and crew were sourced from other Irrational Games (or even Looking Glass)...plenty of the voice cast was also part of the Thief series. Terri Brosius, for example, voiced Blackbird in both games...but also voiced SHODAN from System Shock; on the other hand, Stephen Russell has had an extremely long VA career...not only does he voice several characters himself (Iron Ox, Man O' War, Pinstripe, Time Master, Pan), he's voiced most of the Mr. Handies and Mr. Gutsies from the Fallout series, Fallout 3's Harold (the super mutant tree dude), and Dr. Sylvian Bellamy from Prey (among other roles)...but he's also had several main roles. He voiced approximately (well, I'm only slightly exaggerating) half the roles in Skyrim (Belethor, Mercer Frey, Madanach, Pelagius, Clavicus Vile, Barbas, Arch-Curate Vrythur, Lucan Valerius, and others), perennial favorite companion Nick Valentine from Fallout 4, Garrett from the Thief series, and Corvo Attano in Dishonored 2.

Was that a message from the Canonical Alucard?

[@docette2015]

*snrk* Those two voice actresses in Spider-Man 2 were clearly having a blast improving the world's worst nannies. You gotta love when a game encourages people to be goofy.

[@Ronrussel]

Command & Conquer Red Alert 2. During the allied mission in St Louis is a semi hidden Cutscene where the elite soldier tanya makes out with a soviet soldier, all you have to do is let the mission timer run out. Problem, the timer is *so* generous that it’s really hard, very hard to fail. Even on the subreddit to the game a majority of people don’t know it.

[@joenesvick7043]

I remember I started running in Spider-Man 2, the 2004 adaptation to Sam Raimi's film, when there was no time lime for Doctor Connor's class and Bruce Campbell as tour guide has some humorous dialogue. I kept running and he said something funny again. I imagine many would miss that, because how many people playing a Spider-Man game would just start running on the streets of New York

[@frankiejramone]

Just realized the prominent brand name for petroleum jelly rhymes with gasoline

[@jardex2275]

Yeah, and they call it Healing Jelly now.

[@marshallrobinson1019]

For me, Journeyman Project 3: Buried In Time is the record holder for hidden dialog (AI companion). To discover them, you had to have the shift key toggled while performing actions.

[@fd5934]

The best outro! If there was an outro award this would take it without a doubt. Luke and Ellen are such a brilliant duo.

[@ingramfry7179]

15:09 The hidden Castlevania music sounds like a remix of Angel Island Zone from Sonic 3. Especially the very end bit.

[@XDeminox]

Perfect Dark on the N64. You're supposed to be rescuing Carrington, but if you take your time and shoot EVERY last wine bottle in the wine cellar, you'll hear him say "act your age Joanna!"

[@Michael_Lindell]

I've heard Troy the voice actor knows a lot about Baked goods...

[@Dribbleondo]

I can Just imagine the restraint in not putting in anything from Hitman. There are some very weird NPC phonecalls in the games, man.

[@tldr7730]

Hitman is full of material for this category, many times refferring to something 47.... What struck me most, is that they altered (or even made?) an entire song played together with Silvio Caruso´s Memory Lane, beginning with "I put 47 spices in the pasta, and it still tastes like ashes in my mouth." I believed for quite some time, that this was just one of the Italopop classics; but I could not find the original. If IO Interactive did not add some more lines to an existing song.... well, then they masterfully made up a new one, that recreates perfectly the sound of 80´s Italian hits (pun intended) with instrumentation, melody, vibes, and even the singer´s voice.

[@notesonwheels]

"There is a third option, FU" is the best line in evil within 2

[@gingipride]

The delivery of Luke's "obvious" conclusion about the cartridge/cassette bit has me dying 😂

[@gwilym1991]

I'm surprised being an xbox channel none of the line from the Halo IWHBYD Skull lines made the list. My personal favourite being if you shoot the monitor in Halo 3, he may say "That hurt my feelings. Oh, my, god! I have feelings?! I'm a real boy!"

[@bellarmire]

This list could be full of lines from Hades because there's just so much dialogue from niche situations. My favourite is if you manage to die after completing a Thanatos challenge (which is only possible by standing on lava or something like that), you get unique dialogue where Thanatos is just. So disappointed in you.

[@LadyLocket]

Honestly thought you were going to reveal that the Nanny needed advice from the other one because she had no experience due to her only recently “I was working in a Bridal shop in Flushing, Queens……..”💃🏻

[@celestialstar6450]

That would be awesome! They’d have to get Fran Drescher to record it! 😂

[@Artificer1911]

Evil Within was called Psychotic Break in Japan, I believe. I wonder how that scene plays out on the Japanese version.

[@Trollkiller]

7 times games made you go out of your way to get a few lines of dialogue. Dragon age inquisition, fallout NV, fallout 4, dark souls, DS2, ds3, bloodborne, sekiro, fromsoft games etc..

[@Zooobly]

I recently learned that there is a chance to get a different voice line in Subnautica when boarding the cyclops. Instead of "Welcome aboard, Captain. All Systems online.". It will say something like "You are the best pilot on the planet.".

[@nicholascross3557]

Given you're the _only_ pilot on the planet, that's not exactly high praise...

[@lalaulaulau]

There's a hilarious exchange between two women in Kalm in final fantasy rebirth. It even turns to fisticuffs

[@MikesPortugal-zm4oy]

Would love that there were some NPC's on Spiderman that are just chatting and if you stop behind them say: "oh hey Spiderman, do you huh need something?" In case you just stay there just directly ask "huh spiderman are you OK?" and so on getting more and more weirded out by a super hero just standing next to you while you talk

[@alyindar]

The fact that Ellen didn't break into giggles during that outro is a hidden easter egg.

[@TheSpiderPan]

That's what we did in the 90s with a new game. Check it for game music hidden on extra tracks. Doom had some, Mechwarrior 2 as well.

[@Chris_Sizemore]

Redneck Rampage has a surprisingly kickass soundtrack on its CD.

[@Darkojin1]

In Metal Gear Solid 4 you can get a pretty funny loading screen message about playing for too long (unsure if it triggers for playing too long or just too late at night).

[@zephyruswind]

My favorite is still from Mass Effect 2. At the entrance area to the Citadel, there is a staff sergeant yelling at two subordinates. You have to stay there a bit and listen but you will eventually get "SIR ISAAC NEWTON IS THE DEADLIEST SON OF A ***** IN SPACE"

[@travisphipps8480]

Borderlands 2 the rat enemies when set on fire has one my top favored lines ever

[@ReverendTed]

One that's stuck with me for over two decades now is from 2000's Soldier of Fortune. In the Sudan Slaughterhouse level, you come across a latrine with a (very polygonal) "log" left by the previous occupant. If you shoot it, your character John Mullins makes a comment about the unpleasant result. "God, no amount of money is worth this smell." (At least, that's what the caption reads. The voice line omits "amount of" for some reason.)

[@Allé_Hoopa_Ring]

The tomato monologue reminds me of how in Quiplash 3 if you get the prompt "world's most boring video game" and have your response be "Quiplash", the host of the game will rant at the players

[@thebigmystery7841]

Its not a hard to miss kinda line, but it definately caught me off guard lmao; playing Game of Thrones TellTale and having this convo: You: what are you even here for? Cotter: ugh...fuckin potatoes... A choice answer you can make: You fuck potatoes?... Fucking lost my shit first time lmao

[@kaysrandomchannel4618]

That made me laugh.

[@reno_2200]

Brings back memories of the 'I would have been your daddy' skull from Halo 3

[@kryw10]

I will swear til the day I die that I heard a guard in Oblivion say to a beggar “flies, lice, AND disease? Oh, ho! I don’t think so!” (edit to add It was Wes Johnson.) I know it happened, but I’ve never seen it anywhere else on the internet. Crazy.

[@Gigawood]

Some of my favorites are Torgue lines from Borderlands 2…particularly the one where if you stand out in the open long enough, he’ll explain over the loudspeaker why his voice bleeps all the f🤬in’ time.

[@entropic-decay]

I think one of my favorite examples of this is Magicka. All the voice lines aside from narration between levels are actually in Swedish, and it just communicates what's being said via subtitles that are... let's say "tamer" than what's actually being said by the characters for example, a character whose subtitles say "By Baldr's beard!" actually says "By Baldr's balls!" if you translate the voice line

[@l0stndamned]

I assumed the gasoline thing was a reference to the psa comics that used to exist. One was about not washing clothing with gasoline.

[@katiebirdie7868]

I think it was just the voice actor riffing off of petroleum jelly vs petroleum gas, but maybe she did know about those too. Insane what people used to think was a good idea to use on/around babies! They're fragile as hell!

[@MrGlenn442]

@@katiebirdie7868 I thought it was mishearing "Vaseline" (brand of petroleum jelly and things)

[@boobah5643]

To be clear, that's "Don't wash clothing in gasoline _at home."_ Washing clothing in gasoline is also known as 'dry cleaning.'

Luke "packed with unhinged npcs chatting total nonsense to each other" ....thats just New York City on a normal day

The good dialog from Arkham City containing "Locked up tighter than my mom on prom night"

In Perfect Dark you get a secret line of Dialogue if you destroy all the wine bottles in the basement of the Carrington estate

[@AG3n3ricHuman]

"Because the NYC in which Spiderman 2 for the PS5 is set is absolutely packed with unhinged NPCs chatting total nonsense to each other..." Honestly sounds a lot like the real NYC.
