10 Game Discoveries Never Meant to Be Found - Part V 

Being able to use the repair tool on the Penguins in Battlefield is obviously a reference to how birds are a government conspiracy and are actually recon drones.

The Pathfinder line, "I'm just a robot standing in front of a loser, asking them to die" might be a direct reference to Notting Hill's iconic quote : "I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her." I've never played Apex Legends, but a lovable robot misquoting a chick-flick seems pretty in character.

Using the repair tool on penguins is actually a real life thing. I work as a full time penguin repair man. Most of my work is using the repair tool to repair penguins who have fallen foul to sharks. A few blasts of the repair tool and the penguins are as good as new. The repair tool doesn’t work on Seals incase anyone was wondering. The downside of my job, is you can’t drink coke on the job, or the polar bears hassle you until you hand it all over and don’t even bother bringing Pepsi to work, as that really angers said Polar Bears.

Not a developer on Paper Mario or with nintendo, but know enough about dev to be able to tell you what's going on at 4:30 So part of the development process typically involves modifying an existing game to prototype and iterate ideas before forking off into an entirely new build. Examples of this would be Animal Crossing New Horizons which started it's life as an internal mod for Animal Crossing New Leaf (See The Cutting Room Floor for more info on this). What has specifically happened herre is likely that this is a modified build of paper marior for prototyping an idea for an entirely different game started after the expected releases. Then a request was likely made for a build to be packaged and set for localisation for the subsequent korean release. The inclusion of all the pre-release assets are likely because a development build was packaged. Release builds have less assets despite coming later, because they have all these assets stripped out, but release builds do not replace development builds, they are just what gets released. Modifications for subsequent titles in the series (or entirely new IPs using the engine) would then be done in the development build. The reason those assets have creation dates *after* the release date is because they were as mentioned likely experimenting with ideas for another title in paper mario's engine with those assets, then when localisation required a build for a korean release, the development build was packaged and sent, and since localisers would be editing strings rather than the bulk of assets, these would have all been left in and slipped past build testing due to the mistake. TLDR: Cats are likely an abandoned or unreleased game being prototyped in paper mario's engine via modifying the dev build of paper mario.

The cry of fear one caught me so off guard, I was almost in tears. Funniest thing i've seen on this whole channel

Honestly this has to be the best series on this channel! Always learn something new about my favorite game's and brings me happiness knowing "Hey I played that game!" And just never knowing a secret within that game. Brings some closure lol

Haha, the way you showed it made it funnier. Thank you for featuring Cry of Fear in your video! /Andreas

One of the best Easter Egg Hunters and revealers out there

The Pathfinder line is a reference to a quote from Notting Hill. "I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her."

I actually half-performed the infinite world easter egg as a kid by taking out the disc while it was loading. I thought the easter egg was just the fact that the sky would turn dark though. I never stayed on that screen long enough to get the falling korrins.

The part about the microwave at 10:23 is incorrect. The microwave was accidentally invented in the 1940s by an engineer named Percy Spencer. When testing a new system called the magnetron (the thing in microwaves that create the 'microwave' to cook the food), he realized that it had melted a chocolate bar that was in his pocket. The thing with the hamsters did happen but the technology already existed during that time.

8:12 Into the default Windows background void you drop, a terrible fatality

The console destruction hurts me but I’m amazed by how often it happens. This episode is very good man, a lot of good finds!

6:24 For anyone who didn't already know, the Pathfinder dialogue is almost certainly a reference to a scene from the movie _Notting Hill (1999),_ wherein a character says, "I'm [also] just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her."

3:35 "smile and wave boys, smile and wave"

That one song that’s not meant to be found is the song “Gandi- Mexico City “ 🥶🥶🥶

Having those cats in a paper Mario game would be pretty cool actually. I love the clashing of paper craft/art styles and I’d love to see more things like that

That damn Cry Of Fear easter egg got me good XD. Oh and as for the white cube In Spider Man? (That’s his web box lol) Sometimes models In games have a cube Inside them, this Is one of those times, Spider Man has a white cube Inside him (which Is a separate model), and the model of Spider Man failed to load, causing In only the white cube to appear.

Those always amaze me, I wonder how many old-school games that didn't became mainstream still have hidden easter eggs

Missed opportunity with the segue at 11:59 to say "Speaking of balls: Dragon Ball Z"

A whole Zero Dawn playthrough with that duck model would be pretty funny AND awesome!

Learning about the Cry of Fear texture just makes me love the game so much more

That Pathfinder voice line is actually pretty creepy.

i love this guy, he doesnt follow mainstream, he shares things people mostly dont know, and he is just overall a really good commentary channel.

i believe the pathfinder voice line was a place holder sound for pathfinder when he doesn't have the set path of voice, he was trying to use a voice line called "mirage a trois" which is not even pathfinder's voice line

What the hell does Oddheader have against innocent Sony consoles?!

2:58 chill bro LMAO

This channel is honestly like a comfort blanket, but like a really high quality one that you look forward coming home to

2:16 Oh damn! This reminds me of Metal Gear Solid 2's theater mode where you could play a select few cutscenes from the game but replace the characters. You could have MGS1 Ocelot talking with a random guard or something. Wish more games would have modes like this... Imagine a Final Fantasy with that feature. 9:27 "Strangely enough, sales for Nocturne have skyrocketed at an alarming rate!"

If you eject the disc while on the loading screen you'll have the same effect for DBZ! Also works on the loading screen with the cybamen from Tenkaishi, if you go long enough you get a red cybaman, then eventually a blue.

1:00 I thiiink Duckman is a placeholder file to test pseudophysics on the character. The hair is fully modeled, and the rest are blatant "REPLACE THIS" textures.

I don't know why but Oddheader calling a goose a duck really got me.

I’m happy to watch your videos every single time. Please stop destroying game consoles 😬

Imagine being feared by most men…only to get beat by a flying piece of Tofu

Man these videos are like a big part of my childhood and you’re STILL making them years later, keep up the good work man.

Yo! Nice to see my suggestion got in! I remember finding out the Korin deal back on my broken PS2 that would give up loading randomlyu

This has to be my favorite game mystery type channel, I'm so glad you posted again!

The cat stuff from Super Paper Mario is super interesting to me. Makes me wonder what was going on with the cats and more contrasting art-styles.

3:41 It's a robot penguin!

Your shoutout to Cassie was hella wholesome

Leaving a second comment - I’m guessing the unused backstories from Mortal Kombat 4 might been, in an original plan - They might have been making fun of the cry of people against the controversy of violence in video games, ala friendships in 2 and 3

The entire Pathfinder "Quip wheel" in #6 is actually Mirage's quip wheel (a different character). Either he modded the game to do that, or it's glitched, because 1 character cannot have the quips of another. There was a bug recently where, after respawning from the dropship, you'd be a different character than the one you started as. Perhaps this "discovery" would be repeatable if (as possibly shown in this case) your quips don't update with your character. Meaning, start the game as Mirage and have the "Mirage a trios" quip bound, die, respawn as Pathfinder, and select the Mirage a trios quip, somehow linking to this unique pathfinder line?

12:32 god, the nostalgia. this scared the shit out of me as a kid

I think the reason why those cats are only found in the Korean release of Soup Pap was because since it released so late, Intelligent Systems didn't have the build that they usually gave to translators on hand anymore. So they gave the latest build they had to them.

I wasn't expecting to see Tom Scott in an oddheader video but I'm glad to have lived in the universe that had this scenario written down

I can't quite remember what movie it is, but the Pathfinder quote is a reference to a movie with Sandra Bullock. The original quote was something like "I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her." or something like that.

One of the best Easter Egg Hunters and revealers out there I swear!

Thanks for the videos Oddheader, Slippy , and Cassie! Always happy to see a video in the feed!👌

On the topic of cry of fear and Biden Easter eggs, there is also a cube hidden in the files of the game with a texture of Joe Biden on it simply named "Biden cube". It is never seen in-game and has an scuffed animation of it spinning a little bit. I guess one of the devs either didn't like Biden or just thought it was funny to put him in. Probably some kind of inside joke

11:28

Waking up to an upload from this channel is like waking up to a steaming thanksgiving turkey delivered straight to your room.

5:51 Based Pathfinder

Oh it’s a bangin ass day when Odd comes around with another video

1:43 tofu man!!

10:00 Wormrat seems strange, but those are clearly guinea pigs, not hamsters... and that is probably why there is a cooked texture for one. Guinea pigs where originally a species, that we still don't really know where it came from, that in places like Peru are used as a food animal. It seems gross and mean, but we do the same thing to rabbits, so a small rabbit-like creature that can be cooked up and eaten like you would a rabbit or a small bird like a pheasent, makes sense. So no, likely not a reference to hamster in a microwave, it is literally just a BBQ'd Guinea pig.

What i love about this channel that he really digs up stuff that you never heard about before Other easter eggs appear in countless of videos making it less feel like an Underground secret

Oh! I've heard that Pathfinder line before! My friends are really into Apex Legends so I'll play with them or watch pretty frequently. I hear it randomly and I'm pretty sure it's a placeholder voice line when another cannot load. It's not a select able choice in the menu.

you should tweet at matt mercer about the pathfinder audio, given he's the voice actor. im sure he'd be happy to answer whatever questions you have.

the mortal kombat 4 joke "character backround stories" is quite humourus seeing the characters backstories parodied. :)

This man be single-handedly increasing retro console prices

Pathfinder voice line might be a leftover from his original concept. He was meant to be a mass-murderer lol.

I think I enjoy this channel so much because it feels like it could be a show on G4 (complimentary) and gives me a lot of nostalgia

Watching oddheader's videos feels like a christmas gift

I find myself checking the channel to see if theres a new video out, more often than I should. Always a rad day when a new vid finally pops up.

LMAO 😂 2:31

Running over that playstation breaks my heart but oddheader uploaded a new video

Oddheader, you're the only channel I *IMMEDIATELY* watch new vids for. Your videos are awesome dude, cheers.

I look forward to every video you post in this series. Keep up the great work.

lowkey you're the one youtuber I still get excited about when I get a discord/youtube notification about uploading. Keep it up!

hurts my soul everytime I see a content creator destroying things for a joke =[. Other than that great stuff as always.

I always feel excited when I see a new oddheader video and I have no idea why

idk why but oddheader is the anti-chills

Uploaded at the perfect time. Needed a video to watch with my meal

Destroying a retro-consol is a C-move!

When you make a bunch of duck jokes but it's actually a goose lmao

props to oddheader for breaking all of his consoles

That Super Paper Mario thing is so wild. I wonder if it was a new game? It kind of reminds of how Spyro a Hero's Tail has assets from a Harry Potter game.

Every time oddheader makes a new video has to be the highlight of my day

2:25 i could totally see Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man acting like this

I love these. My curiosity was piqued when you mentioned Super Paper Mario.

I have a feeling this channel may actually have some influence on keeping easter eggs popular in games, despite intense deadlines typical of the industry. So much fun to see what people come up with, that Duck character skin is hilarious!

cry of fear also has an easter egg where typing something in the dev console during one of the boss fights turns it into joe biden

Slippy slides and Odd Header was suppose to been a thing! 🔥🔥🔥

Always a happy day when the Odd-Tv-Head posts~

Even if it was broken seeing that PS1 get ran over with a lawn mower hurts my soul.

I hope there's always new content for this series, love getting to know about more hidden stuff ^-^

I can't wait to see what the NORTH Korean version of Super Paper Mario has!

Oh yeah I have heard of the Mortal Kombat 4 bio screens or whatever you call them. Apparently those things were planned but ultimately scrapped due to some reasons I don't exactly remember but one of them was that the character descriptions were a bit too comical and made no sense at all. They probably ran out of ideas and time too fast to fully edit them and thus scrapped them. I've read it on an article on the cutting room floor I believe, so I highly suggest looking it up there as well, to get a more accurate explanation than what I'm providing here.

FWIW, Duckman was a cartoon in the 90s where the title character was voiced by the guy who played George Costanza, best known these days for being in several memes.

2:15 damn I mean funny glitch

Gotta respect how this man never clickbaits

I love this channel. I love retro games and they make up 90% of my game time. Learning all these easter eggs from old games is great.

dude I love your videos. And Its a tradition for me to watch your new video every month

No, microwave ovens were invented when some radiation testing was going on at Raytheon and one of the workers noticed that the chocolate in his pocket had melted.

This is literally my favorite channel on YT. Every video is so good!

This might be stretching it, but the duckman skin from 'Horizon: Zero Dawn' could possibly be a reference to the 90's animated tv show 'Duckman', which was about an anthropomorphic duck detective. It explains the legacy character part on the sandwich board.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND ALL THE WORK YOU PUT INTO THEM!

Telling the developers about a secret is like reminding the teacher about homework

The fact that a lawn mower managed to destroy a gaming console is impressive and scary at the same time.

"Piece Of Tofu Man." funniest thing i have ever seen
