the giant sandworm reference in Talos is a nod to Serious Sam 3: BFE. A mission near the end of the game you need to fuel up a car in order to drive across the desert, which breaks down at the start of the mission, and you have to run for your life to get inside a canyon before the giant worm eats you

[@lesbarathirdir5178]

I thought it was from Mass Effect. One of the optional side missions has Shepard and the team explore an Alliance distress signal which leads to a wrecked vehicle (similar to the Mako). Once you arrive, a isn't worm that looks similar to the one in Talos Principle 2, called a Thresher Maw, emerges from the ground and attacks you. Image for reference: take-me-to.space/0HGs6pVR.png

[@lesbarathirdir5178]

I thought the sandworm in Talos Principle 2 is a refernece to Mass Effect. One of the optional side missions in the first game has Shepard and the team explore an Alliance distress signal which leads them to a wrecked vehicle (maybe either an M-29 "Grizzly" or an M-35 "Mako"). Once you arrive, a worm that looks similar to the one in Talos Principle 2, called a Thresher Maw, emerges from the ground and attacks you. Image for reference: take-me-to.space/0HGs6pVR.png

[@shoeliver]

both are by croteam too

[@snapkid1991]

@@shoeliver it is indeed a nod to their Serious Sam 3 game.

[@ClaraTheClown76]

i was so excited to see a tremors reference man noooooo

[@manoeleduardoaraujofilho782]

I know this is an Easter Egg video, but i just saw here an amazing detail from SCP 5K. 6:30 Notice how the character you play as exercizes perfect trigger discipline, keeping his finger extended and off the trigger, only curving it when firing, but if you stop firing for a few seconds, his finger will return to an extended position.

[@OMGitsTerasu]

That is cool as hell

[@BuildingWolf100_WolfDab]

👀

[@TotalHooman]

I wish more games did that

[@khaboom282]

exactly thats what i want to say i dont know how to phrase it

[@Sgt-Wolf]

He also reloads in a realistic way by keeping the half empty mag.

[@cordisdie7622]

INSANE detail that I absolutely love on 6:30 The player char, being a trained professional does not have his finger on the trigger until he shoots and then MOVES THE FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER a few seconds after firingsince he is not planning to fire more, following one of the key rules of firearm safety "keep your finger off the trigger"

[@lilyflare2]

That poor little crab was still dancing a bit after you shot him. Dance on little man. Dance on.

[@justjacob360]

Maybe a crab rave reference??

[@BluePandaLps]

In SCP: 5K, that thing I believe is the game's rendition of SCP-173, on the other hand still trying to figure out what number the crab is lol

[@Onyx1987]

The fact the player character takes their finger off the trigger if you stop firing for long enough in that SCP game is so cool, I just noticed it in this vid! Always appreciate when devs remember to animate trigger discipline.

[@sixthaxis5236]

The sandworm at 4:55 is the sandworm in Serious Sam 3, another game made by the same devs that made Talos Principle 2

[@wolfshark6133]

get eggcelent to 1 mil NOW he deserves it

[@king_joker5366]

There was a detail within a detail in SCP 5K even though it’s small the character has his finger outside of the trigger guard every time before he shoots, and when he shoots if you don’t do a follow up shot he automatically pulls it right back out and rests his finger on the side of the gun but he will hesitate for a short second waiting for a follow-up shot

[@maidenreligion12]

Glyde the Dragon demo/prologue has a few Easter Eggs in it. The first you'll likely run into is a character by the name of Quper, a purple lightning dragon. He's a reference to Sly Cooper and is even voiced by Kevin Miller, the VA of Sly, himself. There's also another character early on at the Central Outpost that goes by Obeone, a nod to Obi-Wan Kenobi. It's a free game and roughly about 10 hours long, and has a few more easter eggs hidden in it. Plus an Overly Used Videogame Easter Egg!

[@ShyBoi04]

in goat simulator 3 multiverse of nonesense there are a lot of refrences to animal crossing, having trees with bags of money, rocks with fossils and money and patches of sand with bones and money all marked with an X. there's also a secret event where you have to pay off a house and then you get a raccoon themed outfit + ears as a nod to Tom Nook from the game

[@The_Mystical_IX]

The easter egg you covered in SCP:5K used to have only box you had to shoot and it was either above the door or in the same room. This was around the time the game had officially released onto the steam store

[@eggincorperated6437]

scp 5k reference? lets freakin gooooooo! Another fun one to cover in that game is a secret quest to save a box man and his family, as well as another secret area hidden behind a bunch of buttons that referenced a character. I dont know if the eggs are still there cause it was originally early alpha when i played

[@ECSDaemon]

Cuccoos are not simply chickens, they are chicken shaped avatars of pure hatred waiting for a reason to the hero of hyrule relentlessly no matter how small of a reason.

[@KingRabla]

I never anticipated this channel unlocking a completely forgotten childhood memory like it did. Especially it being Duke Nukem: Time to Kill. My Dad and I used to play this all the time. I can't thank you enough for bringing back that memory 🤘🏻🖤

[@BlankSpaceMonsterASMR]

6:10 that is rough around the edges? This looks more polished than most AAA games.

[@NeedBeans]

Also, it's apparently never gonna get finished. The creator and he gf stole like, all of the money that was donated to the game.

[@Raven_Yard]

@@NeedBeans I'm pretty sure that was SCP Unity, though I could be wrong and the same thing happened here too, in that case it'd be insane that it happened twice.

[@NeedBeans]

@@Raven_Yard ohhhh, ur right, mb.

[@TheSultan1470]

​@@NeedBeans Cool!

[@DannyMorrs]

1:34 is Pilgor a reference to something? I think the name might be a reference to the show Kenny vs Spenny where Kenny names his goat Pilgor, and at one point he pretends that the goat is a therapist.

[@justsayin._.]

Fun fact: Phil isn't a real doctor

[@Saavik256]

The DMC-12 is an iconic car and while it might be a smidge overused, it always make me happy when I see one in a game as an easter egg.

[@ChrisBeYT]

The new lighthouse map in phasmophobia has a nice easteregg. I won't spoil anything here but you have to do some steps

[@jman12343]

I don't care about Talos Principle as a game, but I always enjoy seeing the Easter eggs. You're an Easter egg channel, I don't care how ridiculous/personally uninteresting the games are that the eggs come from, I appreciate them all the same.

[@Thatoneguy48147]

2:34 Thank you very much Captain Eggcelent. You just made my day

[@oskarrimbe2039]

Just started playing Journey to the savage planet and there are ALOT of easter eggs. One idk how many would get but its a mary poppins reference early on where you hear the chimney sweepers song.

[@aramis4347]

Remember about that one specific easter egg in H:SR? Well, it got a continuation not too long ago Also, maybe Wuthering Waves also has an easter egg or two lying around somewhere

[@MrBounceoutboi]

Duke Nukem has different quotes for the Delorean as well. My favourite is "and here I am without my flux capacitor"

[@walteracevedo5105]

Not much of an Easter egg, but a hidden detail. In KH Melody of Memory, there's an item that allows Mickey to help you keep your rhythm. He's always dressed for battle, but when using Team Roxas, he'll wear the Hooded Robe instead.

[@GoddessWisp]

7:14 Captain Eggcellent might have forgotten to mention it or didn't mention it because it's very obvious but the Crab dancing is a reference to "Crab Rave- Noisestorm".

[@saximaphone]

For a future details video: For "The Binding of Isaac: Repentance" When in the "Downpour" and "Dross" levels, there are enemies that are invisible except for their reflections in the water. Finding the white fire and entering the mirror in "Downpour II" or "Dross II" will take you to a mirrored version of the map. Encountering the same enemies in the mirror version of the map will have them visible, but with no reflections.

[@saximaphone]

Additionally, in the Mines and Ashpit levels, the mole enemies will have their eyes open if the room is dark.

[@karpatos100]

Damn boy, i really missed the "Echo" effect of the "Over used video game easter egg of the week". Glad that it's back

[@COOL1nate]

In the driving sim game Titan Chaser (a hidden gem of a game in my opinion), there's an easter egg to something I haven't heard any other games reference before. If you go to the middle of nowhere where a lamp post is standing, the player character will comment about it and mention Aslan, referencing the first Chronicles of Narnia movie/book.

[@lennarttheelen6720]

6:34 i am very suprised to see that your character takes his finger of the trigger after shooting. I don't think i ever saw a detail like that

[@404-AnimationYT]

7:12 that sculpture is scp 173, not knowing that while playing an scp game is odd lol.

[@goldenfiberwheat238]

And the thing in front of it is the owl street art one right?

[@CaptainEggcellent]

I mean, I did say that I am way out of the loop when it comes to SCP lol

[@404-AnimationYT]

@@CaptainEggcellent lol its all good. Love the content btw!

[@somedummyonyoutube3362]

@@goldenfiberwheat238 No, 173's the one in front The crab... idk

[@Daniel_Coffman]

It doesn't look like 173 at all. Even discounting the pose it's in as sometimes things can be posed differently to be silly, the face and physique are completely different, plus it has four arms instead of just two. Is this a reboot/reimagining/redesign of the SCP Foundation and its subjects or something?

[@philledzone]

In the first of 3 parts of the Talos Principle 2 DLC, if you go left of the main middle area, before getting to the oasis area, you can find a statue and if you climb next to it you can find a hat and a whip being a reference to Indiana Jones. I also uploaded a video of it on your Discord server a while back 👍

[@garaajames]

The car you were driving in Goat Simulator made me think of Put-Put, a talking car from an old kids game.

[@FraserClarke-gm3ov]

In the first hades game when you are filling up the pact of punishment, if you continue to overfill it, lots of funny dialogue will come up underneath it.

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Gotta like those narm charmy accents in the "Dr. Pilgor" segment. Here's to hoping Time to Kill gets the polished PC port treatment. (Yay, reverb's back!) Allegedly. Now that's a word. If anyone wants more SCP stuff, I recommend The Exploring Series for the thrills and chills. Oh, and the crab could be an SCP-098. Huh. Never have I seen the Pool map since youthful forever!

[@mathewbeeson7677]

1:21 the purple car in Goat Simulator 3 looks similar to the Buggy Buggy car in Dragon Quest Builders 2

[@trevororegan9174]

Idk if you've done Sketchy's Contract at all yet in this series, but I just found a hidden Easter egg. In the main lobby area, there is a teleporter that looks like a blue telephone box. This is almost certainly a reference to the TARDIS from Doctor Who

[@ARealCupcake]

05:14 neither. That worm is called the Sandwhale and it's an enemy in Serious Sam 3. The Talos Principle was developed by the same people that made Serious Same so they have a lot of Serious Sam references in the games.

[@D_YellowMadness]

I like that the chicken sounds are the same ones as in Zelda games because they can get away with it because they're stock sounds.

[@sbickmore15]

6:40 Not really an Easter egg, but I've never seen a game include the trigger finger returning to the hold position after firing. Pretty cool.

[@randall7x245]

Captain I noticed something on the SCP game you can add it to your video game details video.. the way he removes his finger from the trigger after shooting is pretty neat. Very well trained

[@jl506]

The sandworm seems a more direct reference to "Beetlejuice" and the sand worms of Saturn.

[@KingJeans3]

7:10 The statue looks like a revised version of Peanut (SCP 173) I don't know what number the crab is, but it might be one made just for 5k

[@Ahsmic]

0:19 chickens single handedly became a raid boss see if asmongold can top this 😂

[@Trayfore.shorts]

In Tekken 8 on the arena Ortiz Farm, you can see a UFO in the background abducting animals.

[@Gaz918]

The sandworm in TP2 is the same sandworm from Serious Sam 3, since it, well, a Croteam franchise.

[@ShadowNightPack]

07:07 That "Strange thing" is Peanut, aka SCP-173

[@LegendaryG]

Idk if this was already covered, but in the Sakurajima Update for Palworld, inside the new island dungeons, there is a katana stuck in a campfire, a reference to Dark Souls. So maybe an overused videogame Easter egg of the week idea?

[@zoro4661WasTaken]

The SCP 5K easter egg is a reference to the newly redesigned SCP 173 (Peanut, lying on the floor like one of our French SCPs) and SCP-098 (the genuinely terrifying surgeon crabs that eat you alive). The way they're dancing is _probably_ a reference to the Gangnam Style music video? Could just be a crab rave thing, though.

[@beancandev7818]

Could be both, maybe?

[@zoro4661WasTaken]

@@beancandev7818 True!

[@Andrani]

The banana reference in War Thunder made me laugh because I JUST watched Spiffing Brit's video on it earlier today, BEFORE seeing this video

[@maxdabss]

when i saw the pool map from csgo, i immediately thought of pixel gun 3d since i played pixel gun wayyyyyy before i ever even knew csgo was a thing

[@brickpuncher1429]

There's a devil may cry meme reference in some hoyoverse game, I think. It's a white lawn chair at the cliff of a mountain. If you approach it, you get an achievement.

[@alperca46]

The thing in front of the dancing crab was The Peanut (SCP-173)

[@BySpye]

It's the comeback of "DID you know!?"

[@qualia8047]

The giant "sandworm" is actually called a Graboid in the Tremors movies. 🎭 (Amazing video by the way.)

[@ImEmix]

Allegedly you can't even apply the banana sticker.

[@CaptainEggcellent]

Allegedly

[@bloodyboi-eb9qo]

there's a game called Eqrn to die rogue, which is a zombie game. i don't know if you already covered this but i think the first or second world you can go in top of the rooftop and see a secret message.

[@trenpeeters8416]

hey captain i found a easter egg in vampire the masquerade: bloodhunt there is a emote called funny walk that looks like the dance toby maguier does in spider man 3

[@Wystheria]

The scp has a nice little detail, when it's no longer shooting time, trigger discipline applied

[@Maxrazi4]

Congrats on 90k!

[@StephenDurnan]

7:09 The strange thing is scp 173, the statue. It's a statue like organism that is heavily inspired by the weeping angels from dr who. If you look away, it moves

[@saneradium]

Two DLC references/ Easter eggs/ hidden details: 1: it is noted that the Temperature in the facility is 20.5556° C. In Fahrenheit, that number is 69 2: there are two ways that I have found so far that animal crossing is referenced. The stones with Xs on top can be head butted to reveal money bags and fossils that look just like the ones in AC. There are also money trees like the ones in AC.

[@CaptainEggcellent]

Are both of these from goat sim 3?

[@saneradium]

@@CaptainEggcellent Yes! They’re in the new Goat Sim 3 DLC!

[@saneradium]

@@CaptainEggcellent I also have DM’d you some other Easter eggs I don’t think you have mentioned on instagram. The High on Life one is my favorite. Edit: there is also a really cool Stray Easter egg in there and a FF7 remake hidden detail.

[@muirenkotze7744]

Have you seen the little easter egg in lies of P where you can find a reference of Pinocchio in the library in one of the book shelves. Thanks for the content!

[@Randomguy0011]

4:57 That's the Sandwhale from Serious Sam 3 BFE. It even uses the exact same model.

[@Y2Jerms]

Did you ever do the fact that pilgore is named after the goat from Kenny vs spenny?

[@sus7spike881]

Captain excellent a cool detail in a game is in the new game called Still Wales the Deep. When you pick up a lubricant can and run with it you can actually hear it rattle

[@diego63454]

In Blasphemous, if you play with the spanish dub and talk to Candelaria, there is a small chance that the phrase "y que las campanas me doblen si os he engañado alguna vez" will sing it. This is a reference to Lola Flores, a famous spanish singer

[@horrificbeauty1666]

I don't know if it count as an easter egg but in Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishment, you can disguise Sherlock to almost look like the Strange Man in RDR.

[@fabiankaiser2012]

Hey captain there's a Easter egg to Heisenberg as a mini boss In the addiction lvl in the game have a nice death and idk if u already played it but it's a cool game which might have more cool Easter eggs (and it's in game pass too)

[@marcusflatt9084]

IIRC, SCP-5000 does involve an "end of the world" scenario. Not the end of our world, mind you, but the end of a world.

[@ChargerPlays]

The thing in front of the crab in SCP: 5K Is in fact SCP-173, the first SCP ever created and the most famous SCP From the Franchise, The Crab on the other hand might be SCP-098 aka A Surgeon Crab, but that's just a hunch as there are many Crab SCP's in the SCP Foundation universe, This is some insight for you Captain and any people outside the SCP community

[@ViApp0]

It's also a crab rave reference same as the one in another crab's treasure.

[@swag4jag559]

Right now I feel like the CS2 Easter egg and Talos Principle 2 Crab Rave Easter egg is possibly the best Easter egg of 2024 (so far)

[@nickhemmers4667]

I like the cs:go 2 one since it reminded me of the c&c remakes where if you press the space bar you go back to the 1995 grafics

[@Th33anomaly]

In goat simulator 3 Multiverse of nonsense there are hundreds of Easter eggs my daughter and I found. The most notable being, a full Diablo 4 level at the end of the DLC complete with loot rarity and boss fight. Not to mention Deep Rock Galactic barrel kicking, a full DRG mining level and dwarf skins for your goat. They’re not really EEs more like references bc they’re part of the main DLC path.

[@marzialalfonzocanada888]

when I was kid I honestly thought I could ride that car on the mine area on duke nukem time to kill lol xD

[@Penguinzfromthemoon]

I just wanted to say in goat simulator 3 you can find a rift on a roof where you get sent to a mine where you can find mini Molly’s or Molly from the game deep rock galactic I don’t remember the full ester egg but that’s what I remember:)

The SCP on the floor is SCP-173, The Sculpture, from SCP: Containment Breach

Video game detail as well with scp5k. Your character practices trigger discipline. The finger moves to the side of the gun when not firing.

[@masterflubrnukt6930]

Idk if you've done this already but in Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion in you go through the oblivion portal in Kvatch and go to the left side of the big bridge down by the lava there will be a crispy corpse half in the lava with one arm missing and the other reaching out and i believe this to be a reference to the famous "death" scene of Anakin Skywalker But as I said idk/cant remember if yoive ever covered this
