I get the "Halo dated memes" thing, but I really want that Chief-in-the-rock's-pose one as an emblem. Its too well made and charming for me to care about it being an old meme.

as someone who makes game assets for a lot of games, I will tell you that most artists when they make an asset have to do it quickly, and chances are they just Googled "body laying on back", found the first image they could, didnt know what it was from and used it. Especially from what I know about old Telltale, that place was a viper's pit of toxicity and artists there were frequently under the gun for unrealistic deadlines.

Sometimes I feel like devs are just leaving weird shit in the files only dataminers would find just to troll them. I know that's something I would definitely do if I were a game dev.

My thought on #4 is that the final background was locked behind 100% completion, which included the two censored backgrounds, but they didn't change the code to accommodate for this, making it unobtainable.

10:16 "Someday, someone will come here searching for a "cat" and I won't disappoint them" -The model designer, probably

About the Battle Hunter secret image, it's a dev avatar rollcall. If you read older manga you know that artists tend to have these asides at the end of volumes with these little cute or weird looking chibi characters that act as avatars for the authors, and the characters in IMAGE 22 has weird nicknames which are common in close knit groups. It's actually the devs congratulating you in a silly picture.

I imagine the Tomb Raider Legend one is from an early design document, and the imagery was so hilarious that they put it in there to look at when they were feeling frustrated.

0:59 My first thought was "this was a placeholder for when they didn't have the vehicle-riding section programmed yet' ...which definitely also counts as a dev joke

Knowing Sneak King exists, makes that seductive image more horrific.

The Sim City 4 track "Primordial Dreams" is pretty creepy. It isn't enabled by default and enabling it makes it play after you select to "Obliterate" your city. The track is an apocalyptic sounding minimal song if you can call it that. Its mostly drums and siren sounding instruments.

I loved Battle Hunter. If you popped the CD into a CD Player, you can hear music that isn't in the game.

Let me see if I can explain Battle Hunter's image 22. Now, I may be talking right out of my ass here, but judging by the names by the weird creatures in the picture, they seem to be the avatars of the game developers thanking the player for 100% the game. Game developers do this sometimes. They add and hide funny little mascots and chibified versions of themselves to reward any player persistent enough to fully complete the game. Chrono Trigger did this too in one of the endings.

When he smacked that Barbie doll down, I started howling, and Oddheader's face when did it just made it worse! Thank you for the much-needed laugh, Oddheader

It's only a matter of time for a video game data miner to find a weird hidden photo that says, "this one's for you Oddheader."

It’s always a good day when oddheader uploads

that Dread Out 2 easter egg is actually hilarious. reminds me of the thing in Splatoon 2 actually! there are these giant tank-like enemies with treads that roll around and face-plant to try and hit you, purely out of curiosity i maneuvered around to their back after the face-plant attack and they have a sticker on the bottom of them that looks to be an image of some lady undies. lol. they kept it in the DLC as well with the recolored variant of the enemy, including the sticker being recolored.

Fun fact: initial D is probably most popular in the state for their song. You know the gas song and the car song. Ironic that the only song that have in the only game is somehow the worst

3:55

a new oddheader upload is the equivalent of free food for me: i want more

While the memes may be dated, it doesn't stop me from wanting that "This is fine' Grunt emblem

I kind of want that "This is fine" Grunt as my emblem

burger king lying in a "draw me like one of your french girls" pose is the last thing I expected to find in a mid-tier shovelware educational kid's game lol

I wonder if the "I'm waiting for you" skull pic was meant to be a foreshadow easter egg for the zombies game modes to come.

Hearing about unusual discoveries in either the games themselves or in the files is always a blast to see when they're finally found. That said, there's this one easily accessible secret in a promotional Flash (R.I.P.) game for Sonic and the Black Knight Sonic Knight in Training where if you play the game and stretch the window in a Flash Player you can find three duplicates sprites of Sir Lancelot (Shadow) with one sprite actually being an unused sprite with the text "Keep this character here for Sonic Game" underneath the unused sprite duplicate of Sir Lancelot's backside that depending on how tall or short the screen is stretched vertically can only have the "Keep this character here" displayed instead of the full text. All three Knights of the Roundtable have unused angles they can be seen in in the games files, implying the original idea was something along the lines of multiple rounds with each knight changing positions instead of the usual high score simulator most official Flash games would've had back then. A really strange/odd oddity with the game that Charrii5 discovered on a stream where he played all of the officially licensed Sonic Flash games is clicking the some of buttons causes it to open up a webpage to *Neopets* of all things, but in his case he clicked the button at the very bottom of the game. Further research shows that the game was licensed by SEGA but was published on the Neopets website in February 2009 and then was removed after the promotion for Sonic and the Black Knight ended but still, Neopets is an odd choice to promote a game rated E10+. But regardless, the game suffers from the usual issues with defunct Flash games with nearly every button being labeled as "undefined", some broken code as you need to right click (or left click if you use the right mouse button) and then hit play as the game hangs on the intro sequence upon booting up in a flash player and missing video files as according to the Sonic News Network if the player got a high enough score they would unlock a (at the time) new trailer for Sonic and the Black Knight and there are two buttons that only play a repeated countdown video with nothing following it no matter how long you wait.

"Mountain Vengeance" is absolutely unplayable, no matter what controller you use. No idea what they were thinking.

Initial D having a photoshopped image of Gary Busey's face on Smeagol gives me so much life.

"They thought he would scare away women and children" Well, considering that I would rather hug Ronald McDonald and a fnaf anamatronic than be in the same room as the Burger King, I'd say they're right on the money...

10:31 is he the first or is he the first willing to admit it

Still have no idea why Tokyo Pop decided to remove Initial D's iconic techno soundtrack in favor of generic nu metal. You can't even say it was a licensing issue, because they didn't even try to match the same energy!

4:16 THE SKELETON APPEARS!!!!

4:03 The Skeleton Appears

5:27 Initial D is actually a manga and anime series foremost, the games aren't the focus at all. Also ironically, the anime is known for it's AMAZING soundtrack consisting of Eurobeat!

About the Batman image (I was actually going to send you an e-mail about this one if it wasn't shown in the video lol) that was done externally by another company and not actually Telltale. I'm pretty sure it was a Chinese company that was contracted to create art assets for the game and it may not have been widely reported the same way it was in the west.

seeing that oddheader posts is like the cherry on top of an already good day

never been so early to one of Odd's videos before - and so pleasantly surprised to see subtiltes already in place and looking great! thanks for the effort you go through to make videos accessible. another fun vid full of things I didn't already know about :) still the only channel I can reliably find new content

The limp biscuit knock off song actually brings Me a weird joy

Great video as always, but the Blasto mention unlocked an ancient memory of playing that game on a PS1 demo disc. Seeing it immediately sent me back in time, I had entirely forgotten about it (though not the other game on that demo disc, Tomba!) Thank you Odd and 1-800-POOP-NOW, you absolute kings.

Hey, Odd. Initial D was not popular due to most anime and manga fans not being interested in the manga and anime, plus the fact that the anime was distributed by TokyoPop, hence why the music in Mountain Vengeance sucks balls due to it not using Eurobeat, the very genre that the anime and the Arcade Stage series used I recommend you watch the video by Vectrex4Life on the god awful game you have on the video, as he knows more about Initial D and even has the Arcade Stage 2 cabinets.

Perfect way to start the weekend...... a little oddheader!

There's nothing like seeing an new oddheader video after a long boring day at school/work

Hey Odd, just wanted to say im always happy to see when you've posted videos cause i love them. Wasn't exactly having a good day, but seeing that you posted made my night. Keep up the great content bro. I'm always looking forward to your videos

2:51 That unlocked memories that should of never been remembered 💀

oddheader videos are like a box of broken electronics, you never know which one you're going to get

Love an oddheader video, nothing rings the nostalgia bell like you man. Happy to see you successful.

Gosh, I love your live-action bits. I adore the creativity and unique personality they inject to your content. They're what make your videos stand out to me and got me to subscribe to you versus other creators covering videogame Easter eggs, and I'm not really even a gamer. XD I just play my three titles obsessively.

11:40 That'll leave a mark

Absolutely nothing could've been better than coming home from work to an oddheader vid. Love your content so much.

I love when I see a game I’m playing through on one of your videos. Im playing through Enemy Within rn.

Cashier at toy store: Who are the Barbies for, your niece? Odd: No I need a way to illustrate inappropriate images on my RU-vid channel that won't get me demonetized. Cashier: Oh? Have a nice day sir.

Psychiatrist: “It’s okay, Gary Busey Gollum isn’t real. He can’t hurt you.” Me: 6:11 😱

Been around since the beginning of the channel, I love seeing how much you’ve grown. Keep it up man!

Oh bless oddheader, bless. You sure did pick a day I have a sinus infection and feel absolutely terrible, so thanks for raising my spirits with a release!

Oddheader you're one of the most consistently good RU-vidrs out there. Keep up the amazing work. I truly look forward to every one of your videos

Dude, I’ve always been a fan of your videos, but you’ve been dialing the humor up to 11 lately, and I LOVE it. Keep it up!

The most hype day is when oddheader uploads. Literally a holiday for me

6:50 This looks like the pillar men from jojo

Hey Oddpeople ! When I was a kid, I played all my PS2 demos and found out a clip who scares the hell out of me. I think It's not a dark secret or an easter egg, but I really want to watch it again and solve this mystery. From what I remembered, It's a sort of clip which depicts a scene between a werewolf and a red riding hood in a forest, but using strange animation 3D (the Characters and the place looks like cardboard). At some moment, the werewolf is screaming and the all forest is absorbed by him. It's not a playable demo and maybe It's just a musical clip from a grunge band because It's really dark... But I terribly want to know ! If you've got some hint or know what it is, please, help me ! 😅

You are the only RU-vidr that causes me to stop whatever I'm doing and watch the moment you upload.

seeing a notification that oddheader uploaded is the best feeling

I wouldn't mind seeing those emblems show up in Halo Infinite. I'm grasping for straws here with content for that game.

11:35 I lol'ed ^^

Always a happy day when I see a new Oddheader video in the subscription box

It’s crazy how happy I get when my special creators make new content. Thanks odd!

Woo! Thanks for putting up with my Dread Out 2 findings again! Dev's definitely knew what they were doing with that one. Don't need a freecam program to find it either but definitely difficult to notice at first.

Yes!! I love the never meant to be found or newly discovered easter egg lists. Regardless, a new oddheadder video is a reason to celebrate

4:27 COD III really predicted the skeleton appears meme

a good oddheader vid always makes my night, ty for the facts dude.

The Dreadout 2 one is hilarious, but Battle Hunter's is just sad. It just goes to show American localizers' f'ed up double standards when it comes to fanservice. Almost naked men doing sexy poses are all fine and dandy, but apparently women wearing swimsuits is crossing a line.

i have done the GXC from when it first started and I don’t really care about the prizes but some of the little indie games use have there charm and their is a pretty neat easter egg in there polybuis spinoff the easter egg is a matrix one i have never seen anyone talk about it

that song in the Initial D game was the Main Theme song for the first english release by Tokyo Pop. I remember that song and constantly sang it like it was the greatest thing I had ever head when i was around 6 or 7.

A new oddheader video! It's my favorite time of the season.

2:22 ok i think they were ment to be in game emote stickers that would go in s chat system

4:15 That actually a "The Skeleton Appears" meme.. Wow they waaaayyy ahead of its time 💀💀

Your videos are the only vids on RU-vid I honestly wait on the edge of my seat for. I love them.

Another odd header video to make this Friday perfect

The final image in Battle Hunter looks to be just some caricatures of some of the people involved in the game or maybe some of their friends, so I imagine the guy in the middle, in real life, is of actual African descent. Still, I wouldn't expect the average person in the US to put 1+1 together like that, so I could see why it would be censored.

After how many years of that King and even some weird and creepy video games, they then decided he would scare away kids? I'm pretty sure he was the reason why people gave a crap to still go there.

Man I love your content, this channel is exactly what I have wanted for so long, I love stuff like this.

its 10 pm, I'm eating kraft dinner after a long day of work while watching oddheader. Feels good

10:41 lmaoo

Such a good channel.

One of the only channels where I get excited when I see a new video

Here within a minute of the video being uploaded! it really pays to be a part of the discord!!

3:45 : The skeleton appears 💀

Burger King is the only corporation that can't do something as simple as explaining why they dropped a widely-considered-creepy mascot without insulting women in the process. And this isn't even the only time they've done it either. They "celebrated" International Women's Day by saying "Women belong in the kitchen." I'll never understand how wildly successful food companies fuck up their PR. Just show us some good food & tell us the name of your restaurant/company. It's not hard to do that without without insulting black people (Papa John's), killing gay people (Chick-Fil-A), or telling employees dressed like clowns to lie to kids about the food (McDonald's) or killing babies (Nestle) or saying water shouldn't be free (Nestle) or paying scientists to say dark chocolate helps your heart (Nestle & Hershey's) or using child slaves (Nestle, Hershey's, & Mars) or continuing to use said slaves after they're dismembered during their slave work.

Finally a new oddheader video I’ve been waiting for quite a while for a new video

Probably bot a censored image though in CoD: What is almost certainly happening is the object is slightly behind the wall and when you are far enough away with a sniper rifle scope you cause a rounding error which causes the skull poster to be drawn in the foreground because the shader cannot determine if the poster or the wall is the texture to be drawn. It is a similar effect to any other time in a game you see overlapping textures which seem to flicker due to rounding uncertainty.

11:30 That's awful! Where?!

0:54 wtf is that sht

0:00 Intro 0:26 Tomb Raider Legend 1:22 Halo Infinite 2:22 Space Camp 3:26 Call of Duty 3 4:32 Offroad Thunder 5:16 Initial D Mountain Vengeance 6:19 Battle Thunder 8:04 Batman: The Enemy Within 9:34 DreadOut 2 10:39 Blasto 11:42 Outro

Think the ‘Nerd of the Rings’ might be a reference to AVGN, I think it’s his face, does look a bit like Johnny Knoxville tbf though

I actually found the kitty thing on Dreadout 2 months ago. I mindlessly explore everything in that game aswell and have made some crazy discoveries.

Someday I'll be featured in a video of his. Mark my words.

Bro wake up new oddheader upload!

Beautiful video

The actual scary part of the batman image is, telltale games are turkish 💀

Holy crap. I played Battle Hunter growing up. I always remembered the game but could never figure out the name of it...you just solved a lifelong mystery for me. Thank you.

Amazing as always oddheader keep it up bro

Another Odd video to cure my depression and instead make me question reality
