Maybe an easter egg (and maybe spoiler alert) : In Ghost of Tsushima, in the Ikishima DLC at the end of the epilogue if you bow after tenzo said his farewell he'll notice it and say something like "A samurai bowing before a pirate ? I've seen it all" (Paraphrasing in another language is hard) I don't know if the reaction is In any way different if you don't bow tho so not sure of this easter egg.

11:23 behind the shed, the face peeking over the log is a historical reference that was also an ode to the Brothers in Arms games. "Killroy was here" was a collectable you could find in certain missions in Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway. Historically, United States servicemen who would draw the picture and the text "Kilroy was here" on the walls and other places where they were stationed, encamped, or visited.

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Where the hell is that fourth BiA game, you Gearbox degenerates?!

Kilroy was probably the worlds first meme

[@Urboyyycarlos]

When I was a kid playing on my mom's iPad I collected all the "Killroy was here" tags on Brothers in Arms 2.

[@pixelics3711]

Are we allowed to include easter eggs/references from Lego games? If so: In LEGO Indiana Jones on the second level "Into the Mountains" after jumping down a cliff and trapped behind a wall of ice you can find a very clear reference to the scene from Star Wars where Luke Skywalker is frozen to the ceiling while upside down.

[@IncogNeyo]

sadly its not really an easter egg its how you unlock han solo there's 4 more

[@michaelandreipalon359]

But it is a reference, so...

[@pixelics3711]

That's why i was sceptical because in just about every Lego game theres a reference to others At the end of the first mission cutscene Indiana pulls out C-3PO's head to give to the guy The games are literally filled with references and easter eggs so i was just checking :)

At this point, putting "IT" easter eggs in games, is just making fun of the games that use them way to often.....right?

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Still, video game devs need to watch more great movies, particularly older ones... I might recommend the Dollars trilogy, Akira Kurosawa's classics like Ran, Rashomon, and Throne of Blood, and Charlie Chaplin's films.

Found a easter egg not so long ago. I was playing a game called coffee talk and one of the main dialogue was a reference to assassins creed, talking about making a leap of faith and not seeing any hey stacks to land into.

In for honor, my favorite April fools was the year before last. Everyone was tiny! But the weapons were normal size. Looked hilarious. This isn’t April fools but on May 4th one year they made everyones weapons like lightsabers. Wish they did it every year

I don't know if you have covered this detail, but I found that in Little Nightmares 2, if you take the heart from the teacher when you're sneaking behind the jars on a desk, she will bend over and look for it. Very minor detail but something I noticed on my first playthrough

In mass effect 1 after completing the task for sha'ira she will say some words about shepard. If you select a less grateful dialogue an intimate scene will start which has a reference to Titanic

[@contentcreations6810]

Good ideas to come

[@LadyBern]

I don't blame Leo for still being angry at Vincent's betrayal. Guy acts like your friend, helps you escape prison, meet your family, you meet his, then you both get the S.o.b. who set you up and got your colleague killed just to find out it was all so he could get revenge then send you back as if all of that meant nothing and you're disposable. I'd be bitter too

[@michaelandreipalon359]

And then the creators of that game hurt us more with It Takes Two's elephant... bastards.

[@annafranks8082]

Captain egg please add the gorge toy Easter egg from subnatica it is found on the autos (big ship) in cabin 1 in a locker or is a reference to natural selection 2. Also thank you so much for being my favorite you-tuber, it would make my entire year if I was in one of your videos. Continue to make people happy!!!!

[@swag4jag559]

Personally, out of all of these, I feel like The For Honor one is my favorite. I also feel like it’s better than the rabbids one. Why? There’s just something about swinging foam swords at rubber toy soldiers with a Bennie Hill track that’s so funny

[@charlie_3187]

I found a detail in little nightmares I can’t remember if you’ve shown it before but if you use Six’s lighter and tan she covers the flame with her hand to make sure it doesn’t go out

YO! JAK! Bro, I remember owning Jak and Daxter, and then owning Ratchet and clank on the PlayStation 2. Man, those games were really similar. It was like, whenever I played Ratchet and Clank, I wanted to play Jak and Daxter and vice versa. Really nice they added their brother-game that hasn’t been mentioned in quite some time.

I do not know if you have ever covered it before but in Apex legends go to the tower on the left as soon as you exit the spawn point on the firing range.

In alien isolation, after you get launched into space with the xenomorph, and when you enter Seegson Synthetics, you can find a deceased man at the desk with a rolled up newspaper down his throat, which is a reference to the original alien movie, where Ash, a synthetic, try to off Ripley by shoving a newspaper down her throat.
