I thought that you guys would enjoy an old fashioned video game easter egg hunt, so I gathered the ten craziest easter eggs in video games!
========================================================
1. The Witcher II|Assasins Creed Fail.
So you've all heard of the Witcher, and you've all heard of Assassins Creed, but does anything seem off in Assassins Creed? Exactly, the Witcher II points this out somewhere in the tutorial. If you walk out of the main area off to a bale of hay, you will see a dead person in a familiar white robe, the joke explains how you can’t jump from any height into a bale of hay and live, which is something you can do in every Assassins Creed.
Total Fail.
2. Grand Theft Auto 5|The Ghost
Grand Theft Auto is full of hilarious easter eggs, including some referencing there previous games, but one of them is just mysterious and scary enough to make the cut; the ghost easter egg. The Ghost can be found at night between 23:00 - 00:00 on Mt. Gordo north of the lighthouse. She'll disappear when you approach her. The name "Jock" is written in blood next to her. If you search the internet for the "Who Killed Lenora Johnson?" (Lenora's murder being the reason for the Letter Scraps collectibles), a page has another murder mystery titled "Blood on the Rocks." The article tells that the ghost is Jolene Cranley-Evans and that her husband is suspected of pushing her off the cliff. Her husband, Jock Cranley, later moved to Los Santos to become a famous stunt man and is currently running for governor of San Andreas. He is referenced during one of Trevor's Strangers and Freaks missions. During this mission you must steal celebrity items for a man named Nigel. When Trevor encounters Nigel, Nigel mistakes him for Jock and does so until Nigel's missions with Trevor ends.
The Ghost is located off the East Coast of San Andreas near the El Gordo Lighthouse.
3. Fallout 3|The Future Predicted With Numbers
I don't know a lot about this easter egg, I barely knew which fallout it was, but if you kill this DJ in one mission and go near the radio station, you will heard numbers coming from said station. Fallout 3, like Skyrim, is a vast open world role playing game, and as such, there are still things that many people have yet to discover. One thing that has allegedly been discovered however is that there is something in the game that may predict the future.
The story goes that the game predicts the future of the real world, using Morse code and hidden messages within the game’s radio station. There are stations that broadcast nothing but Morse code, but some claim that you can hear a DJ on the station pumping out phrases as “The Queen has died today. The world mourns, as on days like these we are all Brits” and “I can’t believe Britney’s actually won an Oscar!” These phrases are followed by a series of numbers in Morse Code that can be interpreted as dates and times. 04: 02 March 19, 2014 for the former, 21:33 February 27, 2023 for the latter. Bethdesa, the company that designed the game, denies that these cryptic radio stations exist. Other claims in the game include the 2010 BP oil spill: “Nine-four-five-four-two-zero-two-zero-one-zero. Accident in the gulf; several dead. Oil spill apparently averted.” The discoverer realized this was the BP explosion and the erroneous day-one assessment that the well was not leaking. The game also references the death of Gary Coleman - “one-two-five-five-two-eight-two-zero-one-zero. What you talkin’ ‘bout? You’ll be missed.” - The game was released a full year before Gary Coleman’s death. Spooky huh? This is still seen as another video game hoax, but is a very interesting one. The vague nature of messages such as the following will ensure that one will be around for some time. “I can’t believe they've actually done it. Not long left. They were warned, but they just had to keep pushing the boundaries of science. The noise. I can’t take the noise anymore. And the light, dear God! The universe is slowly unraveling around us. I’m not going to wait for death. I have a pistol in the attic.”
To this day we don't know if it was luck, or they actually knew this.
4. Batman: Arkham City|Scarecrow's Boat
!Warning Contains Spoilers!
We can piece together the fact that batman Arkham knight is going to revolve around scarecrow for multiple reasons, 1. at the end of Arkham Asylum, you see a crate of titan formula that scarecrow hand then grabs, 2. If you take out your cryptographic sequencer and listen to some broadcasts you can hear numbers, but you have to shift those numbers up by 3 and convert them into letters, they then say stuff like "I will come back", "Destruction for Gotham City", and "Look out batman", really creepy.
The important thing about this easter egg though is the boat. If you head by the west coast of Arkham City by the Water and Power Plant, you will see a small wooden raft. If you get on top of it and take out your cryptographic sequencer and enter the code "City Of Terror" The hatch will open and once you jump in it; you go in first-person mode. If you look around you see tanks of his famous fear gas and cockroaches. Once you get to the end of the boat you see a supposedly deceased man tied up in a chair.
Zoom in on him (RB); he will wail and scare the living crap out of you.
5. Payday: No Mercy|Left 4 Dead Witch Jumpscare
Payday makes a tribute to Left4Dead by adding the Witch (don't startle the witch) in a room in which you can look into during the mission “No Mercy” (which is a mission only able to be done in the PC version). If you get too close, she jumpscares you:
This one speaks for itself...
