The Batman one also wasn't discovered, it was a dev who shared it online after Arkham City already having been announced.

A lot of people forget that Brutal Legend had probably the most misleading marketing of any major game up until that point. It was an era where you had to rely entirely on magazines and journalist websites to describe games to you, and whatever small trailers they decided to give these outlets. Up until release it was marketed as a Zelda knockoff with a metal skin, and indeed that's pretty much what the first hour is. About a third of the way through the game you find out it's more akin to Pikmin/RTS, which wasn't shown or talked about _at all_ leading up to its release.

The Thor Hammer Easter Egg in BO2 also had a reward, which was unlimited explosives for the rest of the mission

The tune to activate the t-rex easter egg is "The Entertainer" most known fragment.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="383">6:23</a> Don't know if this was intentional or a well placed but there was a ad right after he said "This will happen"

@Captain Eggcellent For the Last of Us Easter egg, That's an upside down screen shot of a bullet ant affected with the cordycepts fungus in an episode of BBC's Planet Earth. It was the very inspiration of the infected in this game. KZfaq Channel: Playstation Video: Grounded: The Making of Last of Us Time Stamp: <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="807">13:27</a> (mentions of inspiration from BBC Planet Earth) KZfaq Channel: BBC Earth Video: Attack of the Killer Fungi | Planet Earth | BBC Earth Time Stamp: <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="23">0:23</a>-<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="24">0:24</a> (screen shot in those frames that was used in the easter egg) I recalled Neil Druckmann mentioning this in the making of and i recognized that ant still as it seemed awfully familiar. lol I hope that brings this easter egg to total light. If already explained somewhere, whooops I didnt know.

can you imagine how many of this easter egg's people found & thought it was nothing new & forgot about until years later on. until someone brought it up years later on

The fact that the hammer in bo2 says you're not worthy makes me believe there is some sort of events you can do to be deemed worthy

How’d you not mention the secret Super Punch Out Vs mode that took like 30 years to discover

You can find that exact same picture of the spider man devs in the first mission of the game in an identical looking asset on a rooftop.

The black ops 2 Easter egg also gives you infinite ammo for the crossbow.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="86">1:26</a> Why is the picture in the Reddit post different from the one you found? Did they include a different picture depending on what console you played it on or something?

Definitely discovered the spiderman EE 22 years ago as a kid who had nothing better to do.

I found the batman one naturally in my run, its one of those things i think about so often because i had no clue what i was seeing until the devs revealed it existed

I always love seeing you mentioned about the Last of Us easter eggs, because when I first saw the post by IGN (or from another source, probably a guy from Twitter, as they tends to take sources from social medias), I always felt weird how wild it feels when they told it, while us being confused because some of us had been seeing it in your channel like a year before they covered it

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="70">1:10</a> I remember finding this as a kid. thought it was neat and left it at that

Seeing the playstation Spider Man game takes me back. I replayed that game so many times.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="651">10:51</a> It's the _Cordyceps_ fungus. Quadriceps is a muscle-the big one on the front of your leg, opposite the hamstring. Jsyk 🙃 *Edit:* In the game, the infection is called "Cordyceps Brain Infection (CBI)" in a collectible medical pamphlet. So it is confirmed that the apocalypse is canonically caused by Cordyceps. The Last of Us pt. 1, "Museum" section of the third chapter, "The Outskirts." "The Cordyceps mushroom is a parasitic fungi that can take over a host's mind and alter its behavior. Until recently it has only affected insects and some arthropods. A new species has emerged with he ability to target human hosts." ~ Centers for Disease Control [In Universe] I haven't watched the HBO Max series yet personally, but I've also heard that they've expanded upon this explanation in the diegesis of the franchise. Anyways, it's obviously still not confirmed that *this* is the explanation for the ant TV easter egg. But it's worth mentioning that the Cordyceps connection is confirmed.

More entries like this please? Or maybe shortest Easter egg discoveries?

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="152">2:32</a> this zombies easter egg was only found because a modder decompiled the game and found the steps to the easter egg there. then did it in game and found them. He is the same modder who found the very hard to do easter egg in BO4's werewolf map about vases. I don't remember this one all that much

The thing with the BO2 ee, It would give you unlimited ammo for the titus gun that you use in that level

not sure if its a manddela effect, but i swear i saw that batman room when i was hunting riddler trophies back on x360 around its release

I'm pretty sure it was discovered that you don't actually need to do any of those steps for the last of us easter egg. You just need to get far enough in the prologue then reload the save. That is assuming it is an easter egg in the first place, the game director indicated it was a default shader test that get triggered by a bug rather than being an intentionally place thing.

GOW3 predict Eren's final form. 😂

Why the spiderman has a big head in the video? <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="54">0:54</a>

Did not know the Spider-man easter egg was that unknown. I've discovered it ages ago (like I was 12/3-ish? Am 33 now.) But I'm not one to make videos of anything or stuff like that either. Nor did I manage to figure out what triggered it, but I do feel it was time sensitive. Considering where it is at.

Brutal Legend is a metal game That's why it didn't 'take off' I feel But I absolutely loved it growing up

"EE that take years to find" "this one was found in less than a year, but it was so cool i had to include it" whats the point then?

The Hit & Run Easter Egg definitely didn't take 16 years to discover. It just took that long to be reported.

That Futurama Easter Egg is so in line with the show itself.

For the Batman Easter egg, what I heard was the devs were shocked nobody found it, so they told people how to find it. Not sure if true, but that’s also why it was so soon

I love you so much for including Brutal Legend. I actually found that easter egg id say late 2010’s when I fell in love with the game.

I’ve found the Spiderman one like 19 years ago back before twitter or reddit was a thing

my favorite was the Naboo Starfighter cheat in Rogue Squadron that managed to elude everyone until after Ep 1 was released. Devs would've been in huge trouble otherwise

Thanks for the video. It was really good.

I remember I got my first job at 16 working at Arby's. I applied for the job solely to purchase my first ps3 and to get Arkham Asylum! And I got Platinum on that game! One of the few I've ever tried to get.

Slippy Slides explained 3 years ago that the ant from "the last of us" is most likely a placeholder or shader test image

When i was 6. My unle and aunt came to visit from america, they brought us each a gameboy and a ps1 and a bag of video games and one of those games was spider-man. I remember coming across that picture of the dev team but was too young to understand what it was, i just thought it was creepy and forget it until today when youtube algorithm decided to explain to me what that picture was lmao

didn't you already made this video a couple of years back?

You would of never even thought of some of the things that you would have to do to trigger some of these easter eggs its crazy

For the Brutal Legend one, this has to be related to a similar easter egg in Psychonaughts. Both are games by Double Fine. Random picture of a girl that Google says is the girlfriend of a developer that worked on the game, Fred Selker. Might still be more instances of this not found yet in some of their other games.

We need a remake or remaster of the ps1 Spiderman games

Funny thing about the last easter egg was that it was actually known about for a very long time. people had been able to see it by looking trough the wall. But it wasnt until very much later the actual trigger mechanism to acces the easter egg was found.

I remember finding the picture on Spiderman when I was a kid and literally thought nothing of it and never shared about it considering I was a child and didn't know about easter eggs and such.

Those steps in TLOU are unnecessary. All I found necessary to trip it is witness the explosion, then save and quit at the bottom of the stairs.

That Spider-Man Easter egg had a completely different imagine in the forum you referenced to the one you got.

I love looking around games to see if i can find secrets and collectibles

I quickly wanna send out a little piece of dialogue I found on Titanfall 2, in the ‘into the abyss’ mission if you jump into the water at the start, right at the start, this dialogue will come up: BT: “Be careful, Pilot.” And you have the option of saying 2 things, one I forgot the other is “jump in, the water’s fine!”

The fact it took so long for the Black Ops II Thor Hammer discovery that it could be picked up makes me wonder if in a few years time it'll be re-discovered again when someone finds out that you can become 'Worthy'.

No way. I knew about the photo on Brutal Legend, but didnt know it was that hidden

I remember watching your other video about the ant zombie on Joel Miller's TV -- Yeah, people aren't working with the source material, they fib for some "Stem" authorship of what they saw in your video, only to be the type of author that has another actual King Author.

I LOVE these videos. But I imagine it keeps getting harder and harder to make them

Rdr2 still manages to suprise players to this day... It was released in 2018

I played brutal legend for a good time (ever since I was 13 I'm 28 now) it's cool to see all those year's it have one

Im not a plants vs zombies guy but i am a pianists and the sequence played,was the first Part of "the entertainer" by scott joplin

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="484">8:04</a> i feel like there’s gotta be a way to become worthy to pick it up

As a Metalhead I love Brutal Legend 🤘 Do you know any other Easter eggs?

I can’t believe that Thor’s hammer actually had more to it in BO2.

Spider man EE is probably on a timer since it’s on a time trial map

I didn’t know there was a futurama game that looks so fun 😮

Just to add to the Plants vs Zombies Battle for Neighborville easter egg, the same dinosaur fossil can be found buried in the yard during the intro levels from Plants vs Zombies 2: It's about time.

Man was honestly kinda hoping the WaveRace easter egg involved a hidden sea monster like in Splashdown.

I only just realised Marcus phoenix is the same voice actor as bender how did that take me so long to notice

"and that's what today's video is about" yeah no fkn sh*t ... we can read the fkn title before we see the video xDD

Watching this again to offset the gamer*nx video, really appreciate all the work you put into your videos unlike some others... You're always fantastic to watch and incredibly entertaining!

Venom scared me as a kid in that Spiderman game

That BO2 easter egg makes me so happy

This video should be titled “Easter eggs that everyone has heard of 100 times” lol

I remember finding the dev team picture in spider-man when I was just 4. I’m 27 now. I didn’t know what I was doing back then and was confused to why I was looking at a photo of group of people in this random spot.

i loved the ps1 spider-man game

I'm curious did anybody else notice that the dev picture he references for the Spider-Man easter egg is not the same picture that he caught in gameplay????

As soon as I saw the COD zombies one.... the first thing i said was they definitely decompiled the code

I'm still impressed by the water simulation in wave race. Even today, water effects are usually an afterthought and don't even look this good. Idk, maybe it's just me.

They might've just programmed Homer to track the beat of the music currently playing so if something like lag or pausing too much caused the the music to desync with him him, he'd adjust, even if they expected it to always be the same music. Similarly, in Undertale & Undertale Yellow, if you do pretty specific things in situations where music is slowed down, you can hear music slowed down that normally wouldn't be playing at the time anyway. Like if you're doing a genocide run in Undertale Yellow & you leave Mo's room & come back, he won't be there because he already left but if you go back in, his theme will start playing again for some reason but it'll be slowed down. I always find that kind of thing neat though.

You don’t need to change the piano sound in pvz to get the Dino to appear, and the notes you play are the beginning of The Entertainer by Scott joplin. If you play it with normal piano you actually hear more of the song when the Dino appears. Such a specifically weird EE

I was just about to say no one just “randomly” found that Easter egg on eisendrache

Best easter egg channal

im pretty sure there is an easter egg/ secret in BO2 Zombies Transit map that still has not been discovered 12 years later. Stated by a dev.

loved playing simpsons hit n run

I believe that exact same photo in Brutal Legend was used as an easter egg in the black velvetopia or Lungfisholpolis level of Psychonauts. Iirc it is also one you have to turn the camera around to see the woman. Both done by Double Fine so not a huge leap

I bet a decent amount of these have actually been found by other people who just never posted online about it

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="485">8:05</a> maybe you gotta go through the level more and then maybe pick it up. I have a feeling there’s more to it. Cuz you can customize your inventory yk.

I thought everyone knew about the gears of war one. My buddy showed me that 2012-2013 ish

I saw the Last of Us one the day the game came out. Didn't know it was supposed to be an Easter egg. I don't remember going back to the main menu either. I just remember going into Joel's room and that was the image on the television. I don't remember seeing the live news feed either, so maybe it glitched?

I generally have easter eggs in my games and a lot of them haven't been found... There are ones in Jungle & Urban Strike that I don't think people have found, as well as in Strider 2014.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="87">1:27</a> he may have discussed the location.. but the picture found is a different one.. surprised you didnt mention that

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="642">10:42</a> I didn't know it was an Easter egg but I didn't do all them steps. I went akf and when i came back that picture was on the TV.

The first time i played gears 3 me and a buddy did couch co-op and he spotted one of the coins. We figured it out and shot all the coins and did the easter egg. Im surprised so many people had no idea.

Commenting before I watch if the Arkham asylum Easter egg is shown imma tweak, I’m tweakinggg😭😭👽

brutal legends is top 5 for me

Just seen a clip from brutal lengends love that game man😂

Best easter egg Hunter (lets everyone know about the Easter eggs we would otherwise never know)

like, how do people even find these? do they just spend days/weeks of their lives roaming around aimlessly and trying everything until something just.. works? 😂😂

The die eisendrach Easter egg was only for his wife (for either her birthday or Valentine’s Day I think, I’m pretty sure Valentine’s Day) that’s why it’s so complicated and random, so no normal player would come across it

The hit and run one might be a glitch. I can totally see the developers making something to animate to a music track automatically rather than doing it manually

as a fan of hit and run its a great game and the futurerama game is so much fun too

The ant image in the last of us has a mushroom coming out of its head…which is the final stage of that ants life with that fungus, it doesn’t need to be confirm or denied when it literally is what you said it was lol

Will you be worthy of thors hammer if you complete all campaign challenges on veteran?

OMFG I found the spider man thing YEAARS ago as a child and never though anything of it. wooow. Sad day. xD

Funfact about Futurama they have find the easter egg very soon by clipping through with the camera and many thought was an unfinished easter egg
