"The most referenced videogame code of all time, 0451."

Konami Code: "Am I a joke to you?!"

[HopeNewDay]

Imagine waking up one morning and you are being mentioned and referenced because someone found some obscure easter egg in a project you worked on many many years ago

[usgovernment]

Imagine your GF's name is Lauren and you tell her to boot up Halo 3 and follow the instructions for the "Happy Birthday Lauren" Easter egg. She'd think you were a time traveler and a game developer.

Anyone ever play a game and guess whether it's gonna be Jake or Falcon before clicking?

This is what I loved about Halo Skulls. They functioned similar to easter eggs, tucked away in the corners of the maps, but also functioned as gameplay modifiers. I wish ANY dev would do something similar, maybe the weird bones of a giant creature or something that can unlock cheats/modfiers, and if you find them all you unlock some secret fight or optional boss.

I thought the beating heart in the statue of happiness in GTA 4 was really good

[CaptainEggcellent]

No links in the description btw guys. Just a heads up, I’m sure it’s a mistake

[tank]

I somehow found the ant picture in The Last of Us when the game was brand new and didn't even realize it was an Easter egg

[anayalator]

I appreciate you guys uploading everyday.

Him: Isn't that nice?
Zombie: YEEAAH!!

[myoptikx]

The fact that Jake felt the need to explain the Uncle Sam reference makes me feel sad and old.

I think the Futurama Golden egg should’ve been up here. Took 17 years for an entire community of gamers to try every random thing they could think of just to activate it. Only Easter egg I’d actively check in on from time to time to see if the community was any closer and cheers 🍻 they figured it!

this only took so long to "discover" because most of us didnt have the internet back in the day, but I remember seeing this back when I first played the game.

[IstayBn]

The tribute to the devs family is one of my favorite types. In Apex legends the second map (World's Edge I believe) There used to be a tribute to one of the devs dogs who passed away during the making of the map. I loved finding that, and died multiple times spending time with the puppers.

Shout out to channel Captain Eggcellent who recently posted most of these. They also go through the trouble of replicating how to find hidden secrets and details.

My favorite Easter Egg that had practical purposes - the original Star Wars Rogue Squadron on N64 & the hidden Naboo Starfighter.

Phantom Menace released in theaters 6 months after the game was already out, and maybe a couple months after that, it was discovered they hid away a secret Naboo Starfighter in the game that you could actually pilot!

I don't remember exactly how long after release it was discovered, but it was a big deal back in that era's internet, and it was so cool to find new content tucked away in a game you already owned!

[-pauI-]

this guy doesnt know the definition of infamous lmao

[wolffe]

It seems like half the video was almost ripped word for word from Captain Eggcellent

[AnimalDelos]

I feel like I discovered the cordyceps ant on accident when the game first came out on PS3... but never really thought anything of it so never mentioned it/screenshotted it/etc... (I think it was cause I went to bedroom, went downstairs, ended up triggering something like cutscene was like "ah shoot I don't think I saw everything yet" and quit out and reloaded... and then yeah... lol)

21:03 "dropped this code out of nowhere"
Brother thats essentially the Konami Code😂
Still impressive it went undiscovered for so long!
