jesus christ we're talking about the ubuiquity of certain voice actors and nobody mentions jennifer goddamn hale?

According to the Wikipedia entry for Goldeneye

"At one time, developers planned to implement the reloading of the weapons by the player unplugging and re-inserting the Rumble Pak on the Nintendo 64 controller, though this idea was discarded at Nintendo's behest."

[RSLYG]

This song intro similar to Punch-out

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

The thing that blows my mind is that Deputy Garcia from Reno 911 is the guy who did the voice of Rocko on Rocko's Modern Life.

OT, I know, forgive me.

 

[Sir Ilpalazzo]

This song intro similar to Punch-out

That melody is from a Japanese folk song. It didn't come from Punch-Out.

 

[Itchy//Tasty]

Ignore if this doesn't fit thread criteria, but I had a holy shit moment on God of War III today. I've played the intro events dozens of times, but never before noticed this, for some reason. The room where you fight the big centaur in the opening scenes is Ares' Tomb. Under the slightly transparent floor you can see Ares in his entirety, preserved. I caught a glimpse of it today and was like WOAH!

This is one of those things that, if you know it's there it's really obvious. Or maybe I'm just not very observant, whatever. Here's a pic:

 

[dr3upmushroom]

Wow, I've only played through the game once and I definitely did not notice that. Good catch.

 

[The Awesomest]

He's not really a voice actor. He's just some ordinary guy who is Mario sometimes.

And Luigi and Wario and Waluigi and some other guys. Also he was Vigoro in Skies of Arcadia.


Back in Old Testament time, people were not listening to God, so God talked to the only person who might listen, named Noah. He said this people are all screwed up and they don't follow him anymore, so he's going to send rainfall.

If Noah doesn't respond to what God is telling him to do, the rain will fall and he'll be destroyed by it, for not listening.

^^How Operation Rainfall got its name

 

[Roto13]

I think voicing the most popular video game character ever for 15 years (across like a hundred million games) qualifies Charles Martinet as a voice actor.

 

[Professor Beef]

Looks like ruby_onix just trolled everyone.

...at what point would one consider someone as voice actor, exactly?

 

[Teppic]

Didn't know he did Lagerfeld in Resonance of Fate.

Spoilers obviously.

Sakurai's cat is in Brawl, Pokemon Stadium 2 ice stage.

(Click for Sakurai's Twitter pics)

 

[SuperAngelo64]

Okay, the thing with Sakurai's cat is the first fact to blow my mind in this thread for awhile now.

 

[Rufus]

It's not the same cat though (ears, spot on the nose). Unless the one in the game is or was one of his other cats.

There's a plaque that reads "This is the tomb of Ares" or whatever, and the camera sweeps the floor when you read it I think.

He was also the Taco Bell Chihuahua.

 

[Izuna]

I need someone with a programmable controller.

On the Xbox 360 dashboard, if you go to the My Xbox tab, and press Left Bumper, the tab will shift left.

If you press this again, at the exact time the velocity of the tab reaches zero, it will shift further. I have managed to get it to shift left 5 times, which nearly put the My Xbox tab go off screen.

It's a 1-frame button press, and I want to make a video of this happening.

Looks like the same cat to me, just mirrored.

Portal 2 spoilers:

So you know how Wheatley just talks and talks and talks and never shuts up? It's because he's a Core and that's just the way Cores are. All of the cores talk nonstop until they're incinerated/attached to Wheatley. I knew he was chatty and I knew he was a Core but I only just now put two-and-two together.

My mind just exploded .... by the fact that you must think this is a mind blowing fact

deal with it.

I blew my friend's mind with it way back when.

...How far back?

Probably a day or two after release.

Seriously though, you guys are giving me a hard time about this? I've seen far weaker "mind blowers" in this thread.

What's more mind blowing is the fact that the border around the .gif changes colors.

 

[CaVaYeRo]

For those who actually listen to the Silent Hill OSTs might get a kick out of it, obviously. It only just occurred to me that the VA for Kusanagi and the singer of the OST tracks sounded eerily familiar.

And Shadows of the Damned! Damn it!

She's great ^^

I'm gonna go try this.

^^How Operation Rainfall got its name

I thought it was simpler than that. Just drought of games so rainfall to bring games and end drought. Sorry for further ruining the thread.

 

[Easy_D]

He also voiced Homonculus in Shadows of Destiny/Memories (PS2/PC version)

In Fallout: New Vegas, the three main factions that want to take over are Caesar's Legion, Mr. House, and the New California Republic.




California, House, and Caesar are all flavors of salad dressing.

I'm fairly sure there was a complete font for Ico floating around a few years ago where every letter consisted of horns. It's on one of my hard drives somewhere...

So I'm a little late, but I found and uploaded the Ico font file if anyone wants it. It's a TrueType font:

I stumbled on this minor (very minor!) one while replaying Super Mario Land 2, a realisation I never made at the time:

Hippo Zone - the level you play through to arrive at Space Zone - is actually directly - albeit loosely - represented on the map screen.

The start point. Notice the fact that the hippo is found atop a cliff and you travel to the right.

The end point. If you enter the upper door, you arrive in Space Zone - represented by the moon on the map. Note the curvature of the platform of the upper door, and the fact that when you arrive in Space Zone, you do so on the lower tip of the moon.
If you enter the lower one, you arrive back on the world map directly below the moon.

I thought everyone knew that. I always did think it was cool though.

Tekken 3.

Umh, yeah. The triforce is a very common clan mark in Japan.

You know, I love Myst but I never realized something... Myst...ery.

Yeah, that just blew your mind.

Probably posted before, but just in case... I was watching TV and "Conan the barbarian" was on. At the beginning of the movie a bunch of guys assault a village and kill everyone in sight but young Conan. One of those guys looks like this:

And reminded me a lot of Midna's helmet in TLOZ Twilight Princess.

They are obviously different if you put one right next to the other, but since they've used Conan's OST so much in their Zelda trailers and ads I can't help but think they took some inspiration from this movie in some ways.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

There's a replica of that helmet? OMG give it to me now!

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

The fact that this helmet exists as a thing I can buy fascinates me way more than the connection to Conan the Barbarian.
I want this thing right now. On my head. Now.

 

[MNC]

Mirror's Edge PC has some files hidden in it.

This, specifically.

What is it?

It's battlefield's main theme.

(For the unknowing, DICE worked on Mirror's Edge and makes Battlefield games as well.

I was just watching japanese tv when I saw a black guy singing this song:

And then I was like zomg, I've heard that before!:

Not shocking or a real secret but I think other ppl will find this cool as well.
