Found anything cool while playing games?
Stumbled on a little Easter egg, or hidden message you want to share?
Well this is the thread for all your ArticUNO shenanigans, and all your Bioshock 2 Goatse messages.

Let's start it off with the famous:

..Because i don't know any others.

I just discovered a thing

TomGuycott

Guycott

the Japanese equivalent of that is 'Gaikotto', which is a 'cool-sounding' version of 'Gaikotsu'

Gaikotsu means 'Skeleton' in Japanese

Not an intentional secret, but I think it counts.

Kirby does a small dance when you leave the game paused for a while in Kirby's Dreamland. Pretty fun secret.

Kakariko village in ocarina of time has a BILINGUAL BONUS of a name

I'll be spelling this wrong, but in French the noise cockerels are meant to make is cocorico
MIND
BLOWN

(In Japanese apparently it's ko-ke-kok-koo, if you're that interested)

Most languages have variations on these sounds really. Except english. Where it's Cock a doodle doo, because we're idiots.

if you flip mario's "m" upside down it's a "w" and spells "wario"!

Killing the Death in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow gives you 4444 exp. points

4 is the number of the death in Japan

welp

also since we're talking about deaths, I remember talking with Shawn via MSN, and he said his name would be something like 'Shion' in Japanese

And I replied it could mean 'death sound' ('shi' and 'on', respectively)






Lavender Town's name in Japanese is Shion Town

I am the only person who gives a fuck about this (but I've spoilered in case any other Dragon Age nerds are lurking, I guess)

Regarding the quest "Asunder":

Spoiler

You end up piecing together a body, you find various parts of it all over the place, and when you reassemble it, it turns out to be a lich called Gaxkang. There's an almost identical quest in Baldur's Gate 2, where the lich's name is Kanggax instead.

ALSO: the dirty pantaloons. They're a reference to the bronze / gold / silver pantaloons you can find in Baldur's Gate 1 and 2.
The pantaloons in BG are kind of a big secret in and of themselves.
If you pick up all 3 pairs of pantaloons, you get a mech suit. With a grenade launcher. Seriously.
This, as a secret, is massive, because it spans two games. Four if you count the expansions (throne of bhaal is pretty separate to Shadows of Amn, anyway).

and if you try to flip Luigi's "l" upside down it won't spell Waluigi, but it does happen to be a greek letter.

League of Legends (online game) uses a variation on the Konami code to bypass server unavailability. Useful if server is full.
