Video Game Easter Eggs

[@mog398]

Man in hay cart should be an overused video game easter egg of the week at this point

[@CaptainEggcellent]

What do we think guys, do we agree?

[@JJGaming2010]

Eh, idk about that. I would say the Eagle scream on top of a tower is used way more

[@logannsif]

I agree 100%. The bodies, and the eagles cry are overused. Hidden blades, Templars, apple of eden, etc. There's many other things they could use as references instead 🤷‍♂️

[@jokerofspades-xt3bs]

Yeah I would say it counts as overused at this point

[@mycomnithegreat434]

Yeah, the eagle scream vantage point and the body in/near hay is overused

[@A__random__nerd]

In west of loathing, you can go to the circus and find a clown selling balloons. When asking the clown how do they float, he will something along the lines of we all float around here.

[@jokerofspades-xt3bs]

This needs to be in the next video. Because its west of loathing

[@A__random__nerd]

@@jokerofspades-xt3bs yes

[@casonbarrett2886]

He already did this one ( I love spreading misinformation on the internet)

[@BladeMorningstarOfficial]

You’ll float too😂

[@freaker7100]

1:30 The CS2 map that you showed is a reference to "Villa del Balbianello", which is the place where the Star Wars scene you showed before was captured on tape.

[@CyanPowerRanger]

Also the rest of the page shows that it's the script for the scene it's just worn away - you can't make out sentences but it's clearly a call and response script

[@vasconcelos7356]

"This line is gonna make us millions Hayden" gave me a genuine laugh ngl

[@prophet1546]

bingo, was gonna say. Thats the place he said it.

[@SAVANTI711]

2:24 It's just making a reference to the Joke of a Achilles Heel or Achilles Tendon. No Family Guy foolery here.

[@Ninja_v2]

well references are still a type of easter egg in games just not as easily spotted as actual easter eggs, if something is referencing something maybe a funny qoute or maybe a scene from a movie, it is still classfied as a reference/easter egg

[@SAVANTI711]

@@Ninja_v2 No it's literally simple. It's just referencing something similar such as, I took an arrow to the knee, but instead it's just an actual joke about anatomy.

[@jamesmurray2690]

In Lego Marvel Superheroes 2 if you have Doctor Strange in your duo, he will occasionally say something like “Is that a kind of magic?”, which is obviously a Queen reference…..and yes, it is Queen this time not Europe! 😜🤣🤣

[@HeshDawgHeshPlays]

A cool detail / easter egg I just noticed today is that on Clash of Clans, I had a P.E.K.K.A in my army camp. When I looked back it was walking around my base chasing a butterfly. Then the butterfly despawns and it returned to the campsite. I don’t know how common this is but it was something cool the devs added.

[@orkon642]

If you are looking for a gold mine of easter eggs and references, Enter the Gungeon is full of both.

[@bosch_doc]

Been featured multiple times already.

[@CyberKnight1]

2:20 I'm going with "reading too much into this". Seems like a fairly nondescript way to hold your leg after being injured, and it's no more a reference to Family Guy than any other depiction of someone hurting their leg. I mean, it's not _impossible_ that the developer was thinking of this scene when animating the Achilles statue, but it seems to me more coincidental than referential. 🤷‍♂

[@Ninja_v2]

really it is a full on reference to Achilles' heel being that statue is of Achilles that plus the flavor text does mean the downfall and weakness References in video games are still a type of easter egg in the sense you still have to look and hunt for them also it is no Family Guy shiz lol

[@TheMeteoDragoon]

The name in for the nurse in that's not my neighbor is also a Silent Hill reference. The track Sun from Silent Hill 3's Soundtrack name drops both Xuchilbara (The Red God) and Lobsel Vith (the Yellow God).

[@steven-i6j]

7:39 Im not sure if they are but to me these spirit's look like BT's from Death Stranding.

[@omppul]

I wouldn't even call them easter eggs in the "that's not my neighbor" but just references, since they're not exactly hidden and they're accessible to everyone to see

[@hey.whataboutme8744]

I would argue that they are Easter eggs given that the neighbors you get through each playthrough is purely by random chance, so you have a chance of never physically seen them at all

[@Rouge_7]

Thank you so much for finding these Easter Eggs. My son keeps asking me why your videos are so short and I had to tell him that it takes quite an effort to find all the Easter Eggs you find and most people can't find them nearly as well as you do. I told him to find the Easter Eggs that you have already found and after a couple of hours he came back and told me, " I see what you meant, Dad".

[@JetDa_Plane]

In Goat Sim 3, you can find lots of references in the cosmetics. (I don't know if you've already talked about them yet or not) Like one of the hats is a helmet that lets you control a person and do something. The thing that is a reference is the name of the hat is "Saving Private Brian" and so many more. Some you have to unlock, others you can buy.

[@epantaleaorama]

Could the statue’s Goat Simulator Easter Egg be a reference to “Achilles’ Tendon”…? 🤣🤣🤣

[@D_YellowMadness]

In a way. The Achille's tendon is called that because of an old story about Achilles. If I remember it right, he was dipped in special water to make him invincible but the person who dipped him was holding him by the heel so his heel was still vulnerable, leading him to eventually be killed by an injury to the heel. That's also where the phrase "Achilles' heel" comes from.

[@renurius8126]

Stop it. I leave my clothes on the bathroom floor too😂😂

[@silassaw1774]

In that's not my neighbour nightmare mode, there's also two characters that live together. Teutates taranis and ah puch xilbalbá are reference to joey jordison and Paul Gray from slipknot, rest their souls

[@S.O.S_Beetlez]

Honestly at 2:10 I thought it was a reference to Greek mythology in which you are headbutting Achilles in his leg and then when grabbing his leg it looks like he's actually grabbing his Achilles tendon lol! Maybe knowing something about Greek mythology has helped me lol!!

[@S.O.S_Beetlez]

I just realized that what he's standing on actually says his name 😅

[@CobraDBlade]

On the Phasmophobia easter egg, those three paintings you get the color sequence from are three sea shells, which is a reference in itself to the three sea shells in the early 90s action movie Demolition Man.

[@jokerofspades-xt3bs]

Now this isn't an easter egg but more of a cool detail. In Streets of Rogue your goal is to get to the end and become the new mayor by obtaining the mayors hat, there are many ways to obtain this hat and the ending text will actually reflect that. If you kill the mayor it will say "And so, the Mayor died a horrific death, thus making it impossible to govern with any degree of competence." If you knock out the mayor it will say "And so, the Mayor slept peacefully on the ground while their position was usurped by a newcomer." If you threaten the mayor for the hat it will say "And so, the great and all-powerful Mayor succumbed to a threat from some random person they had just met five seconds earlier." If you just ask for the hat and he gives it to you it says "And so, the Mayor managed to lose every single ounce of power after handing their hat to some random person off the street who "seemed pretty cool"." And if you win an election it will say "And so, the Mayor was defeated after a long and arduous election process, and ended up being a surprisingly good sport about it." There are more ways then just these but the ones I have listed are all the ones available for all playable characters.

[@gamingpi1181]

In Bloodborne, in the hunters dream you can find a book called "How to pick up fair maidens" I know it's not that impressive but it's funny to find it in Bloodborne

[@galaxygamer247]

Thanks Captain Eggcellent for the Lord of the Rings easter egg I had no idea that was even there

[@OhNoTheFace]

The silent hill nurse symbols are found on the save points in said games :O

[@markwolfe8537]

Not my neighbor when the guy talks to you, he almost reminds me of the back rooms, character, or among us a character and there’s also in Warcraft, there’s Robert Williamson and some other stuff too in there

[@ZombifiedBuizel]

5:08 Those symbols are part of the Halo of the Sun which is a big thing in Silent Hill.

[@Kiyaa930]

Been subscribed to you for soooo long. Your channel is gold, thank you!

[@linasavvidou993]

in 2:01 it is an Easter egg because Achiles had a weakness at his heel and that the reason he died in the trojan war

[@SweatySheets]

He's asking specifically about the pose, if it is in reference to Family Guy, which I do believe it is

[@erdek5_327]

In Infamous second son, if you use the smoke ability and try the smoke bomb on water ( like the founten next to the space needle) the bomb wont explode because its in water. Love this detail

[@StevenBTW]

The reason the Star Wars quote is there in Counter Strike, is actually because its the exact place the map takes place in the Movie

[@jude7225]

6:20 On that last one...I'd have to imagine that those three shells are also another reference to the "overused easter egg" of the 3 shells in the bathroom gag from Demolition Man?

[@Sporgus4854]

Fun fact: in cult of the lamb if you kill sozo ( the mushroom guy) and butcher them some cool attention to detail will happen

[@Andreixianlinog-yn3wk]

What details?

[@Radio_Demon1927]

I don't wanna kill Sozo, I love him

[@TreatMySoul]

0:25 I'm just gonna pretend I didn't hear that

[@ors98]

The star wars Easter egg is there because the map references the actual place in Italy where they shot the scene for the film.

[@user-ql7nc6sh5j]

I’m thinking this is a reference to achilles heel ? 2:26

[@goldenfreddy3806]

Idk if he mentioned it but in That's not my neighbour the youngboys (idk how to spell it) are dressed as slipknot members in the nightmare mode. Its a fun little detail :)

[@schattenschuetze2867]

2:28 I dont think so, because Achilles is holding his Heel and not his Knee

[@swag4jag559]

Now I feel like the Phasmophobia Easter egg is a double reference, because of the three colored shells, referencing Demolition Man Also the lady at 4:49 looks an awful lot like Sadako (The Ring girl)

[@Franic19]

I'd say the Achilles one is just a reference to the "Achilles heel" injury, which also makes more sense because he's clutching where the Achilles heel actually is.

[@kylehyde89]

"This will be my last suicide squad easter egg" Does another 🤣

[@Dremag_Gaming]

3:00 Blizzard also revisited the TMNT later on in the Legion version of Dalaran (and you can get a pet) and in the War Within in which you can find them after Dalaran's fall and reunite them with the rat and get another pet in which it'll wear a headband that'll change coloring each time you summon it. (The Legion turtle pet is called "Young Mutant Warturtle" which could also be a reference to Wartortle from Pokemon)

[@arandomfatbloke3352]

3:17 In WoW, close to the area of your overused video game easter egg of the week, there's a shark called Segacedi swimming around in a pool of water. It's supposed to be a twin reference to both the Sega CD and the game Sewer Shark, but could also be interpreted as an easter egg to a Game Shark as well, but that might be stretching it slightly. It's still within The Underbelly of Dalaran, just north of your location. Not overused, but it's a nice little find.

[@thebluepelican1]

In That's Not My Neighbor you can be approached by a clown that gives you a paper talking about a clown, referencing the "This Man" phenomenon where many people claimed to see the same man in their dreams. (Idk if he's talked about this before)

[@SzandorQuinn]

I don't know if you've covered it before, but there's a really nice detail regarding idle animations in CODE VEIN. If you leave your character idle for about 2 minutes in a bed, they will begin falling asleep, closing their eyes and leaning their head to their left. At around 7 minutes or so left idle, they will turn onto their left side. Pressing the cancel button from there, your character will get up, and stretch once they've gotten out of bed. It's a small thing that most players probably wouldn't notice, and it's great that Bandai Namco went out of their way to include it.

[@bayareasportsfan04]

It's worth noting too, for the Phasmo one, you unlock a pretty cool profile picture for your character

[@thedragonborn2135]

The Phasmophobia Easter Egg with the ghost is probably a reference to the classic Ghost buster movies

[@abiubunifu8308]

most likely those ghosts visible in the lighthouse are the ghosts haunting us the player. its seen numerous times through UV in the lobby that there are messages like "We're still here" and whatnot, implying each time we do an investigation the ghosts follow us back to the lobby

[@TeaTimeAllTheTime3721]

If that sound effect of Achilles wincing when you stood on the shield wasn't added in post, then yes that would be the Peter reference.

[@johnmacdonald812]

I've got an Easter egg in hitman 3. Dunno if you've covered it before, but if you have agent 47 stand on any bathroom scales, it shows 47.0 as his weight.

[@chancetaylor9207]

So I found a little fun detail in Batman Arkham City, when first finding Joker in the steel mill after fighting Mr. Hammer, you can use the detective mode right before you trigger the cutscene and see Joker still has a calm heartbeat as well as Harley.

[@saneradium]

In goat simulator 3, near road that leads to downtown, there’s a basketball court. If you manage to lick a basketball and headbutt it into a goal, golden text stating “KOBEEE” will appear at the bottom of the screen. The trick is to do it just in front of the half court line. It’s kind of tough

[@darklight62802]

I smile everytime I hear the dramatic "overused video game easter egg of the week:

[@djennyclaus7703]

4:22, did you that in that's not my neighbor lore, Afton play a part in it? It's in a secret coded letter (watch Game Theory for it)

[@Radio_Demon1927]

I love game theory, I miss MatPat sometimes

[@helper_games]

There is another interesting easter egg in this game and they all take place during chesters quiz, there's a reference to the "meaning of the universe" joke, hairest military soldier being a real monkey (i think?) and there is 1 more i can't quite remember

[@insecdroid]

I’ve played too much WoW. As soon as I saw the Dalaran Sewers I knew exactly what Easter Egg you were covering.

[@XdeathXasXitXisX]

So happy that "Did you know?" is back!! 🎉🎉

[@FineAddition2005]

1:33 I imagine they included it, because the map looks very similar to Naboo.

[@Fellgaming2006]

not my neighbor has another reference that was on screen but not mentioned. one the residents in nightmare mode is named yog-sothoth which is a reference to the elder thing god from the cthulhu mythos.

[@MaxWeb2599]

The Achilleus pose doesn't fit much. Peter holding both hands at his leg while the statue has only one hand on his foot, plus he only holding it gently while Peter grabs it more. But even if it's not a family guy reference it's still an Achilleus one.(maybe pet cemetery)

[@SweatySheets]

Do references have to be exact carbon copies?

[@MaxWeb2599]

@@SweatySheets not necessarily, I mean the wow one missed the masks, pizza and the fighting training but still it's obviously tmnt. That doesn't mean that a single turtle is a tmnt reference either. Just because someone hurted his leg, foot, etc. And is laying on the ground doesn't make it automatically a family guy reference.

[@SweatySheets]

@@MaxWeb2599 this is true, but in this particular instance, wouldn't Achilles be destroyed by his heel, not rendered to a man holding his booboo on the ground? It was his heel that got him killed, assuming I'm remembering that story correctly, he's just injured in this video

[@MaxWeb2599]

@@SweatySheets Do references have to be exact carbon copies? 😅

[@SweatySheets]

@@MaxWeb2599 it's not an exact carbon copy in that case, he's getting destroyed from a headbutt to the heal. It was an arrow that caught him and killed him. It makes more the developers would but their twist on the family guy joke, even the writes of family guy did when they made Lois do the exact same scene a bit later, except she hurt her breast instead of a knee. Same way Shark Tale references The Godfather, even tho it's about fish, and fish related

[@JohnicTheHedgehog]

In Lego Star Wars:the skywalker saga, during a cutscene in episode 5 C-3PO will get a mop onto his head which is a reference to spaceballs a parody of Star Wars in which 3po is replaced by a character named dot-matrix who was made after a photo of C-3PO with a wig.

[@kouroshsohrabi6394]

Hey Cap! I’m playing Far Cry 6 and in the mission “Undercover Stud” where you escort Captain Diaz, at some point the game wants us to take cover under a bridge and Dani (the main character) says “I guess this is what trolls feel like”. I feel like that’s a nod to The Witcher 3 with the troll missions or something along those lines.

[@fishtripper]

The green t-rex might be a reference to toy story 3 when they go into the incinerator that looks like a volcano

[@ForgivingVermin]

In Far cry 6 When you have a choice to kill McKay If you wait for awhile he'll talk about stuff on his radio

[@worldbiggestfan1]

1:58 no only the statue falls down but the scream that has been used is the same scream from the Star Wars series the clone wars

[@excable1319]

In the division 1 you can find Jonathan Pinkman and William White on a rooftop when u use an ECHO, they are found on a rooftop in the middle of Clinton

[@cindyskullz]

I believe there’s a neat detail in Little Kitty, Big City. Occasionally if you get close to the people walking around they will sneeze. I take that to mean they could be allergic to cats.

[@rustythomas6982]

oh my gosh!!! I suggested the W. Afton and his nightmare variant to you a while ago. I don't know if I was the reason this eater egg was put on this channel or if it was something else. however it happened I love that it's on here now.

Thank you!

[@JohnfoxyakaJEH]

The new phasmaphobia map I think is also a reference to a real haunted place

[@NatSpectrum]

I could've sworn I heard Achilles make the "hhhhhhng, aaaahh" sound just then, but it's a bit difficult to hear in the video. If he does make that sound, that definitely ties it closer to the Family Guy scene.

[@TheMrJizzus]

Achilles easter egg references a character from a book written over 2000 years ago, I think that is flexing much more than peter griffin

[@savagecabbage6.0]

In mt. Olympus there is a cave (I THINK it is on the opposite side of the Roman city I could be wrong), there is an office in the cave where you can find wilson

Since the Deluxe Remaster is coming out soon, in Dead Rising 1, if you are able to kill 53,594 zombies, you get a Mega Buster from the Mega Man games. You can also find a Mega Man outfit in the game. Similarly, in Dead Rising 2 Off the Record, you can find a Protoman outfit and weapon, also from the Mega Man games.

Hey captain Idk if this was covered before but in another crab’s treasure near the end of the game if you get attached to the magnet your compass gets glitched It’s more of a detail than an easter egg but i think it’s a lil cool

[@jpnf007]

Well in the beginning of the footage for that's not my neighbour you showed Izanami japanese goddess of death, Yog Sothoth an outer god and Quachil Uttaus a great old one both from H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos.

[@mairaineplayzgames2205]

the pose achilleas looks nothing like the "peter griffin hurt his leg" scene

[@cthulusleeps8671]

In that's not my neighbor there is a character named Yog Sothoth which is an outer god made by H.P. Lovecraft

[@sirmoze3970]

The last easter egg was, atleast in my eyes a great easter egg of death stranding bc the poses of the dead are way to similar and some even have the ,,rope,, attached to them

[@1caboose1]

Don't hurt your back reaching for the family reference. Not the same pose.

[@clarence7701]

1:50 this refers to the greek mythology where ehe story goes that his mother, Thetis, made him invulnerable by dipping him in the River Styx while he was still an infant. The problem was that she held him by the heels, which were not wetted; this remained a vulnerable part of his anatomy

[@kruk2538]

In "lego marvel superheroes" the first one there is a side mission on the helicarrier where a s.h.i.e.l.d. agent was requested by Nick Fury ( played by Samuel L. Jackson in MCU) to get snakes of the helicarrier and also the agent quots famous modified line from "snakes on the plane".

[@saneradium]

In the beginning of the new GS3 dlc, the announcer says that the temp is 20.5556° C. In Fahrenheit, which is used in my country, that number is 69. This is because haha funny

[@PaperGzz]

That last easter egg could be reference to hades from the movie hercules

[@Ninja_v2]

That goat simulator part is more of a reference then a easter egg but it can be classified as such so it more refers to the reference of Achilles' heel witch in terms means a fall of a hero and the vulnerability and weakness that can lead to someones downfall, so to break it down, you are attacking the heel - that heel needs healing = Achilles' heel, The fall of a Hero = the vulnerability and weakness to someones downfall, so there you have it, a nice and fun reference/easter egg and to say this, if anyway every replies to this saying that all this is greek to them, I will already have a snazzy comeback, sometimes you really need to relaxs and say hestika

[@b1ackant]

It's a ref to when Anderson silva broke his leg

[@ashleighgaweda7529]

More of a hidden detail for Lego Marvel Superheroes 2 than an easter egg, but if you revisit NPCs you've helped and been rewarded with a gold brick for doing so, they'll remember you, like the cowboy in the Old West behind some storefronts who's building a crane. It might be debatable that it's "hidden" as the hints during loading screens tell you to do this, but nobody's forcing you to read the hints!

[@Daniel_Coffman]

The pattern in the Nurse's ID is indeed a reference to the Silent Hill series. It's the inside pattern of the Halo of the Sun, the signature symbol of The Order that represents aspects of their God. The Order is a religious organization/cult that is behind a lot of what goes on in Silent Hill.

[@MrBatmax67]

In Lego Avengers, when you're walking around Manhattan and walk into NPCs, they'll say "Hey I'm Walking Here." It happens pretty often so I'm unsure if it can be considered an easter egg

[@FriendlyCloaker]

There's 2 more neighbours in TNMN which are references to Slipknot members, Joey Jordison and Paul Gray. I think the creator put them in as a tribute.
