Regarding the No Man's Sky "mystery," I honestly see that one as a bit of a non-entry. Speaking as somebody who plays the game regularly, the Anomalous Number Station is just one of SEVERAL space anomalies that don't actually do anything and never have. Which in themselves are one of several random objects in the game that never served any real purpose beyond worldbuilding. My takeaway is that it's either just that, worldbuilding, or a feature that's only been partially implemented such as the Station Core. (Which actually has associated items given to you during expeditions that ALSO currently serve no purpose)
Yep. Tons of these things and whichever thing you get be it a giant space worm, a listening post or a destroyed freighter, there are many mysteries in the infinite.
Apparently, converting the numbers from the Anomalous Numbers Stations can be converted to hexadecimal codes, which can then be used on the Galactic Atlas site and converted to system coordinates. Has anyone found anything specific that they lead to? Nah. CAN they lead somewhere given some screwing around? Sure. In my opinion it's a good way to try and get you outside your comfort zone, I tend to stick to a cluster of systems and this would be a great way to get to a whole new part of a galaxy to explore.
Interesting. Do these lead to like.. valid systems in the portal network, or does it act like it does when you punch in a random address? Cause a portal will always take you SOMEWHERE, regardless of what you give it. It will however give you an error before doing so.
@@TheBeaverhouse I can't say for sure whether it leads to valid addresses or it just gives you the approximate address, I haven't tried it for myself. Next time I find a numbers station I'll try to remember to come back and let you know.

The pool of forgetfulness was most likely gonna be for resetting all your stats. In Morrowind Multiplayer Nerevarine Prophecies they made it into a working reset tool.
His explanation was actually most likely spot on. We know for sure there was going to be more branching plots that would have lead to multiple possible endings, including and especially joining up directly with the baddies, all of which was cut. We know also that Sixth house cultists are brainwashed and insane, and everything involving Dagoth Ur ties directly into dream, hallucination, and/or memories of past lives, all of which leads to the pretty obvious conclusion that the pool was something the player would use as a Sixth house cultist and is just another piece of cut content. I expect that Dagoth Ur would want the possible Nerevarine to sever any dreamsleeve connection to their past self and the pool's purpose was to allow the player to choose for sure that they were not the hero, which is in keeping with the game's theme of the interplay of fate and choice and history.
10:57 The author said that the book is named Ring due to way it spreads. Ring is not only the name of the virus. In the novel, the original film, and the remake, there were various things the word Ring related to. The phone "rings" for example. It seems pretty obvious that the silver ring is a joke. Especially since the description says it's Sadako's Ring.
I would've said that if you didn't... It seems 'The Ring' actually is a reference to a bunch of things related to the case: the small group of people involved, the sunbeam through the well's cover, and, specially, the phone's ring sound.
@@fatalfelix6807 Yep, I'm almost certain that's where the devs were trying to go with this. It's actually kind of cool that they tried to work in the later stages of the author's work in the Ring universe but it was too obscure for most people to get the reference.
People were disappointed the mystery box contained warm socks, but just think about it. In a post apocalyptic world, they probably rely on fire for warmth, and fire as a heat source isn't exactly something you can just carry around anywhere. A pair of warm socks would be a godsend for situation where you're trapped in a snowy tundra where the cold penetrates your boots. You can't run and you can barely walk if you have frostbiten feet, so warm socks become as underrated as toilet paper or glasses cleaning solution in an apocalypse.
As an elder scrolls turbonerd, I can all but guess the meaning of the Pool Of Forgetfulness. Early in develop of Morrowind, House Dagoth was actually a joinable faction. You could become a dreamer and fight the tribunal and the empire, rather than work to unite Morrowind and stop Dagoth Ur. Given the constraints of the time period of the game's development, this was ultimately scrapped because of the logistics of having such a dramatically branching storyline. That said, there are a number of quests, interactions, dialogue, and even bits of code that serve as hints towards this early vision of the game. Most theorists believe the Pool of Forgetfulness was part of this early design (given Sharapli's location, ease of access, and the lack of high leveled 6th House agents like Ghouls or Vampires) where you would join the 6th House. Which would make sense that, as an early House Dagoth quest, it would have been one of the first things made before the plans were scrapped. Plus, people have asked Michael Kirkbride (the guy responsible for Morrowind's lore and much of its writings), and he doesn't remember. So lol.
I found the halo reach elites having organs and flesh as a texture on top of the first person lower body model. I was exited and was eager to get it out there....took me months to get a TH-camrs attention to make the vid so it could be on TH-cam.
I have a theory for the buttons in the UBFunky game. It's just a tracker that developers like to have in their games, even if it's pointless. Kind of like how Dark Souls 2 has a global counter for deaths in the game and how websites used to have a tracker of how many "hits" they had. So it's likely just a thing the developers wanted to see, like "How many people would push this pointless button?" and then smile when they see the button has been pressed billions of times by millions of players.
DS2s global death count did have a purpose though, the team who made the game were obsessed with how hard Dark Souls was. And they wanted a way for people to see the gimmick of death. (I love ds2 btw, this isnt hate)
I love how oddheader, guru, captain eggcellent and a few others have kept the actual interesting parts of Easter eggs on TH-cam alive I swear like 9-10 years ago Easter egg scene on TH-cam was nothing the way they made it.
Death Stranding is about beings passing into our world from a place called the beach, whilst the main character is trying to prevent an extinction level event, whilst trying to subdue said entities. This is probably the simplest way I can explain the story, without spoiling it too much.
@@oniinu Yeah. They’re nothing like the movies though and border more on sci-fi thrillers than classic horror. Heck, the Ring novel doesn’t even have Sadako coming out of the TV like the movies do. They’re quite good though!
5:30 Wait… Horizon Zero Dawn is _one_ of your favorite recent games about a post apocalyptic Western United States where society has fallen and become overrrun by sentient robot beasts? Can you tell me what your top 5 are in that genre?
I think the wedding ring is a story related Easter egg, signifying that he was going to propose to the MC but was murdered in the elaborate cover up involving the ring virus.
That kinda makes sense, but why would the item description say it belongs to Sadako? I remember reading the game adheres to the sequel books (which apparently go way off the rails), so maybe it's related to the book story somehow?
woah, I didn't expect to be mentioned in an Oddheader video (about the HLA thing). Thanks for bringing attention to it! That radio is still one of my most thought about mysteries to this day, as a long time Half Life fan
The panties you can find, in cave story actually unlock a mode where you can play as Curly Brace rather then Quote. In the steam version at least. I think it even gives you an achievement.
I just looked it up, and apparently the panties don't do anything in the original game or Cave Story 3D, and only unlock Curly as a playable character in Cave Story+ and the Wiiware and 3DS ports
About the Golden Owl one: In the book being referenced, isn't finding the golden owl the objective? I'm pretty sure that means there is no other step in the game. The owl statue was the reward. Not sure why you'd think finding the owl statue would be the start of a scavenger hunt. That would be the exact opposite of what it's referencing.
Morrowind modder here; the pool of forgetfulness is just something we kinda never pay attention to. It's been used in a few quest mods but no attempt to look into its actual purpose has been made because there isn't much to go on. It's not mentioned in dialogue or any books, though there is evidence to suggest the player would have the opportunity to join the Sixth House so it might have been related to that.
As a professional game dev myself, the radio thing is intriguing but the programming isn’t that weird. The only thing that raises an alarm for me is the use of the word “secret” to mark the event data. My guess is that it might be a leftover of a test feature. But weighted randomness is common when you’re showing an item from a list of random assets. You want to show the best takes more often. But even then, a feature goes through multiple iterations and you might end up with a system that’s no longer needed for the feature (e.g. weighted randomness)...and might just use it for the heck of it anyway. As for the game crashing when you take a radio somewhere else...I’ve seen that a lot. That’s probably a feature with faulty wiring for the dependencies. Probably something that didn’t come up in testing, or was in the backlog and I’d imagine there to be a lot more important bugs to fix near release. P.s. great stuff!
I adored UB Funkeys and remembered wondering about those buttons too! There was also a semi easter egg/cheat that would allow you to gain UB Funkeys in-game that you never purchased from a store. I only know this from this one gate in one of the worlds that required a absurd about of Funkeys to open. You had to lick any one of the smaller UB Funkeys that you had and place back on the larger base one. It gave me a headache and a strong metal taste in my mouth but eventually it really *worked*
@@WhenDidTH-camAddThisFeature Can't argue with that! No literally I can't, I sucked on an electrical cable when I was like 5 or 6 years old. I still remember the whole thing, My eyes shot back and forth (left and right) and everything flashed white for a second. It was crazy but I'm lucky to be alive with all the dumb stuff I've done haha
I think this Ring game is based on a Japan only novel from the franchise, where the curse is spread through a video game. So it's way more true to the source material than it seems.
I found the Pool of Forgetfulness like a third of the way through my first playthrough and could never figure out what it was for, glad I wasn't the only one haha
Yeah, that's the ultimate takeaway here. If he's truly found a way to prevent something from being datamined by experienced people actively trying to datamine it, then I'm sure a lot of companies would be interested in paying good money for that method. He's full of shit and it's a surprise people didn't instantly write this off as a hoax as soon as he said it.
As for the no Man's sky update. At this point I think the only way to tell if the anomalies are worth anything is to go to all 255 galaxies get the numbers for each one of them and then try to figure out if they mean anything. I know that sounds tedious but to me it sounds kind of fun
@@AxelAvalonXIII94 I'll share what I had found last week: While pulse driving, I had found one of those Civilization Shelter Pods, a pretty common anomaly encounter that doesn't really do anything besides give you some Portal glyph codes. Now, what was strange about this specific pod was that it had an entry point, similar to a space station's or the Nexus', that I was able to fly into. (My game instantly froze and crashed shortly after my ship had initiated the landing sequence.) I assume that it's just an unfinished function for the Station Override item.
I love your videos. They're creepy without giving me nightmares. I also love video games and think these mysteries are pretty cool. Solved or unsolved. Keep up the good work Oddheader!
Pretty sure the warm socks only serve the purpose of messing with you, you go through all that work just for a pair of socks and of course the devs will have fun watching players run around trying to find some big easter egg that probably doesn't even exist
I ran into one of those bizarre number stations in No Man's Sky myself but like everyone else had no clue what its for! After some thought I believe its more of a nod to the lore. I dont want to spoil anything so all I'll say is I think its meant to be a way to send messages between Atlas and an important being to The Atlas, which is why there is never a reply. It only sends out a coded message. I dont think there will ever actually be something we do with it. Puzzles like that haven't ever been in No Man's Sky. Regardless, I'm assuming people have already bugged Sean Murray about it on Twitter? In case y'all didn't know, the emojis he uses in some of his Tweets have ended up being clues. If you see someone asking him about the number stations, take note if he replies with an emoji!
Okay for number 3 at the end with Curly's panties, it's meant to be a joke for the Japanese however on remastered (PC and everything else but 3DS to my knowledge) it lets you play a new game file AS Curly Brace. It adds a little extra dialogue where Quote wouldn't say anything and we'd just assume, and it's merely just for role reversal sake then. But for original and 3D it's just Japanese humor.
To be fair if you read the Ring Trilogy novel, The Ring is definitely a memetic death matrix thing that is also a virus. SPOILERS AHEAD. Although the novel describes Ring/Sadako as a virus, it spreads itself through media; the tapes and according to the sequel Spiral, the first novel "Ring" **and** all subsequent Ring adaptations. It is not the curse that killed people, but if I recall correctly a cardiac arrest where they found a lump of ring shaped tumor in the heart system. I don't know the plot of the game version of The Ring, but Sadako died after being r*p*d by a doctor / scientist who had smallpox and dumped into a well, where her vengeful psychic spirit, love for media / theatre, and the smallpox virus combined into a memetic virus. So maybe the ring is kept by the scientist responsible for the creation of Sadako?
I’m sure somebody already mentioned this but, that fleshy wad from the Accounting game looks a lot like the big fleshy wad from the Inside game. Great content as always. Love your channel.
The first easter egg immediately made me think about bloodborne. That fleshy gray body on the ground looks a lot like Kos, and the baby carriage which featured a lot in the game. No idea what it could mean though.
seeing U.B. Funkeys pop up on my screen was like getting hit by train. that just unlocked memories i havent had in more than a decade. i wanted those toys SO BAD.
The Accounting Plus creature is called “mother” it is related/inspired by the beached thing KOS from PS4 game Bloodborne. Also not sure if they were joking but Tree Guy and the Mother are the parents of King of VR.
Interestingly, the reason there's a baby carriage and the battery takes you to the main menu is because Kos is a mother whose baby (Orphan of Kos) crawls out of her to fight the player. Defeating the Orphan destroys the Hunter's Nightmare (the setting of the DLC) because it was created in the process of its inhabitants doing crazy shit to Kos. By taking the battery out, you take out what's powering the Nightmare. (BONUS: Throwing the seed in the planter is reminiscent of an Amygdala carrying you and dropping you into the Nightmare to begin the DLC) None of this has anything to do with Accounting, but Bloodborne is just an amazing game. Would love it if more games referenced FromSoft games besides the obvious bonfire.
@@iriswinter Mergo's carriage too! Though, I feel the Accounting easter egg is definitely pointing to Orphan of Kos, but yes babies are indeed a running theme in FromSoft games
The HL:A radios could be a nod to a similar mystery from HL2, that being the strange unplugged television in the chapter "Anticitizen One", that shows the G-Man standing on a rowboat with a crow on his shoulder, all while dissonant music plays. You'll hear the music first, and when you find the television, it turns off almost as soon as you see it. If you hang around it for too long, it explodes.
I've always been afraid to sell the warm socks in HZD just in case they actually did something. Good to know I'm not the only one who's clueless about what that might be. XD
The reason I like these videos is because they take me back to when I was around ten years and would get freaked out and horrified by glitches or other strange things in games.
I'm sure someone probably already pointed out that the place you get teleported to after planting the seed in Accounting, is a reference to LISA: THE PAINFUL. the flesh blob is one of the joy consuming mutants of the game and the baby carriage references the beginning of the game. The setting it takes place is the post-apocalyptic world of the game.
The accounting+ one is actually terrifying. I played it. The ambience is this ominous sea sound mixed with crying in a White Sea. The mass in the corner is so scary because you don’t know what it is. Yet, it’s very alive and breathing, and it becomes clear that it’s fucking aware of you once you pick up the “baby”. Wait… Oh… It’s the Orphan of Kos, isn’t it?
Maybe the warm socks isn't for death stranding, maybe you need to do something in death stranding to make the warm socks do the thing on their own game 🤷🏻♂️ kind of like how the banjo kazooie and follow game were to affect one another by quickly switching cartridges. But ultimately didn't go through because of hardware limitations
@@UserUser-lh7hs it's about the ice key and something else, I'm sure there are lots of videos covering it. It's been forever since I was active in the banjo community
@@UserUser-lh7hs Stop 'n' Swop! I don't have any videos on hand, but: The idea was originally that you would hot swap game cartridges so the data persisting in the N64 RAM could be read and used by the other game, but what caused it to be scrapped is likely a hardware revision made to the N64 during development that would have cleared the RAM too quickly to be practical. Banjo-Kazooie contained six eggs and an ice key, and you would have been able to transfer those items to Banjo-Tooie and Donkey Kong 64. In the final version of Tooie, though, you just get eggs and the key in-game; and the key was scrapped entirely from DK64, with only a text string and unused level warp to suggest Stop 'n' Swop was ever planned for it to begin with. The Xbox Live Arcade version of the BK games kind of brings the idea back, with collecting the items in Banjo-Kazooie unlocking the items in Tooie and unlocking some parts in Nuts & Bolts. But unsurprisingly it's not quite as spectacular as the original concept.
Interesting thought. I've come to think it's just a Horizon thing, though. In the Frozen Wilds a mercahnt also gives you a Lone Sock, so socks might have become an inside joke due to the Decima engine being used for the grand task of displaying Norman Reedus' bare feet. If that's the case, I'd like to see the sock joke return in Forbidden West.
ODDHEADER SIR PLEASE I ALMOST CRIED IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR YEARS TO FIGURE OUT A GAME ONLY TO BE GRACED BY U.B FUNKEYS IN THIS VIDEO, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW COMPLETE I FEEL! WE USED TO OWN LIKE ALOT OF THE FIGURINES AND GAME AND OH MY GOD THANK YOU
the numbers from the number station in NMS I thought were supposed to be the numerical values of the portal glyphs, but Ive never attempted to translate
Omg i have those ub funkies on my desk, and for the longest time i could never remember what they were called or how i even got them, i am so happy that you mentioned them 🙏🙏
There is a game called: INFRA ,it has tons of cool Easter eggs and unsolved mysteries. It is an excellent game, highly underated, it should be featured in one of this episodes.
I recently started playing Road 96. During one "level", I was with Alex in a restaurant. We went behind it into this smaller building. I was looking through one of the cardboard boxes and spotted a picture that looked eerily similar to he late Budd Dwyer. I googled it, and it is in fact Budd Dwyer. Has anyone else spotted this?
1:54 Looks like a Bloodborne reference. The two final bosses from the base game and the dlc. The baby carriage is Mergo, the final required boss in the base game is Mergo's wet nurse, who scoops his baby carriage into her robes. the lump on the floor is Kosm, a Great One who was slaughtered by the hunters of old and cursed them to experience an eternal nightmare, the final boss of the dlc being her child, the orphan of kos.
Interesting thing for those who dont know: the panties in Cave Story were actually given a purpose in Cave Story+. They unlock Curly Story, a retelling of the game but Curly and the protagonist are swapped. Dont know why they existed in the original release though, it's probably just a joke. Also, another item exists like that, if you sleep in the bed in Chako's House after interacting with her lit fireplace, you get her lipstick. Odd, but funny.
It was just an easter egg in the original lol. The joke about the lipstick is that the mimiga slept with you. Kinda dirty easter egg for a kids game lol
curly's panties has no use in the original release of cave story but in cave story plus, it unlocks a mode where you play as curly brace instead of quote
Something I find interesting with the Pool of Forgetfulness is that in the Elder Scrolls, water either is memories, or that memories take the form of water, or maybe the ocean is filled with memories... It's a bit unclear, but regardless, memory is directly linked with water. So a source of water that is linked to forgetfulness -- which I assume means that drinking or bathing in the water causes one to lose memories -- is certainly an interesting concept.
I remember when I used to watch TatsTopsVideos with similar stuff about this. Been watching OddHeader for a few years now cuz of this crazy stuff. I told a friend about the glitched version of the orc from Shadow of War and he thought that was reaaaaal trippy. And he played that game religiously! Good video, Odd!
Has anyone considered the Half-Life Alyx secret to be a cryptographic secret? It's believable to me that "A14", "D7", "B4" can be part of a hexadecimal string, the most common format for storing these
I think it's a type of UTF encoding, however "A14" throws that for a loop sort of. In the transcriptions of the synthy_ID files, there are simple patterns being repeated if you plot the alphabet out. Some examples: synthy_01 ("SW TX UY"): Each first character moves 4 characters to the right (if S = W then V = Z for example). synthy_02 ("SPTQU"): The pattern is Left 3, Right 4. (Continuing this pattern leads to R as it is 3 Left from the letter U). I'll edit this post if I find anything, but I'm only going off an old Reddit post as the game itself makes me puke (motion sickness, I'd probably like the game). Edit: Think I figured it out. If you keep going with this pattern of logic you will get an instruction... or at least, a button.
@@rollanddev Not necessarily, A14 is a perfectly valid hexadecimal representation of a 12 bit number: A 1 4 = 1010 0001 0100 Combining the 3 constant sequences we get 28 bits of information total, which while uncommon in cryptography is seen in DES, which uses 2 28 bit keys individually as the basis of a key rotation schedule implementation. To be clear I highly doubt that's what's going on here, just wanted to point out it is not entirely outside the realm of possibility
Wow, I never knew the radio in Half-Life: Alyx was so complex. I always thought the only interesting thing about it was the creepy radio song that was first featured in HL2.
Curly's panties in the original Cave Story are just a fun little easter egg. In Cave Story +, it enables you to play as Curly Brace, one of the main protagonists of the game.

@@fatalfelix6807 Yep, I'm almost certain that's where the devs were trying to go with this. It's actually kind of cool that they tried to work in the later stages of the author's work in the Ring universe but it was too obscure for most people to get the reference.
"I can fix her"
"That's my ring for the marriage"
People were disappointed the mystery box contained warm socks, but just think about it. In a post apocalyptic world, they probably rely on fire for warmth, and fire as a heat source isn't exactly something you can just carry around anywhere. A pair of warm socks would be a godsend for situation where you're trapped in a snowy tundra where the cold penetrates your boots. You can't run and you can barely walk if you have frostbiten feet, so warm socks become as underrated as toilet paper or glasses cleaning solution in an apocalypse.
reminds me ofthe quote "home is warm socks" I forgot who said that
As an elder scrolls turbonerd, I can all but guess the meaning of the Pool Of Forgetfulness.
Early in develop of Morrowind, House Dagoth was actually a joinable faction. You could become a dreamer and fight the tribunal and the empire, rather than work to unite Morrowind and stop Dagoth Ur. Given the constraints of the time period of the game's development, this was ultimately scrapped because of the logistics of having such a dramatically branching storyline.
That said, there are a number of quests, interactions, dialogue, and even bits of code that serve as hints towards this early vision of the game. Most theorists believe the Pool of Forgetfulness was part of this early design (given Sharapli's location, ease of access, and the lack of high leveled 6th House agents like Ghouls or Vampires) where you would join the 6th House. Which would make sense that, as an early House Dagoth quest, it would have been one of the first things made before the plans were scrapped.
Plus, people have asked Michael Kirkbride (the guy responsible for Morrowind's lore and much of its writings), and he doesn't remember. So lol.
Thanks for the info!

I have a theory for the buttons in the UBFunky game.
It's just a tracker that developers like to have in their games, even if it's pointless. Kind of like how Dark Souls 2 has a global counter for deaths in the game and how websites used to have a tracker of how many "hits" they had.
So it's likely just a thing the developers wanted to see, like "How many people would push this pointless button?" and then smile when they see the button has been pressed billions of times by millions of players.
But why make it per person then?
@@hoodedman6579 useless button pressing leaderboards ?
@@__sweatbobatea__uwu8156 Maybe? It might be interesting (or sad) to see what's the largest amount of times anyone pushed 'em.
DS2s global death count did have a purpose though, the team who made the game were obsessed with how hard Dark Souls was. And they wanted a way for people to see the gimmick of death. (I love ds2 btw, this isnt hate)
it probably was intended to do something originally but then whatever it was intended to do got scrapped or never happened.

Death Stranding is about beings passing into our world from a place called the beach, whilst the main character is trying to prevent an extinction level event, whilst trying to subdue said entities. This is probably the simplest way I can explain the story, without spoiling it too much.

The panties you can find, in cave story actually unlock a mode where you can play as Curly Brace rather then Quote. In the steam version at least. I think it even gives you an achievement.

About the Golden Owl one:
In the book being referenced, isn't finding the golden owl the objective?
I'm pretty sure that means there is no other step in the game. The owl statue was the reward. Not sure why you'd think finding the owl statue would be the start of a scavenger hunt. That would be the exact opposite of what it's referencing.

Morrowind modder here; the pool of forgetfulness is just something we kinda never pay attention to.
It's been used in a few quest mods but no attempt to look into its actual purpose has been made because there isn't much to go on.
It's not mentioned in dialogue or any books, though there is evidence to suggest the player would have the opportunity to join the Sixth House so it might have been related to that.

As a professional game dev myself, the radio thing is intriguing but the programming isn’t that weird. The only thing that raises an alarm for me is the use of the word “secret” to mark the event data. My guess is that it might be a leftover of a test feature. But weighted randomness is common when you’re showing an item from a list of random assets. You want to show the best takes more often.
But even then, a feature goes through multiple iterations and you might end up with a system that’s no longer needed for the feature (e.g. weighted randomness)...and might just use it for the heck of it anyway.
As for the game crashing when you take a radio somewhere else...I’ve seen that a lot. That’s probably a feature with faulty wiring for the dependencies. Probably something that didn’t come up in testing, or was in the backlog and I’d imagine there to be a lot more important bugs to fix near release.
P.s. great stuff!

I adored UB Funkeys and remembered wondering about those buttons too! There was also a semi easter egg/cheat that would allow you to gain UB Funkeys in-game that you never purchased from a store. I only know this from this one gate in one of the worlds that required a absurd about of Funkeys to open.
You had to lick any one of the smaller UB Funkeys that you had and place back on the larger base one.

I think this Ring game is based on a Japan only novel from the franchise, where the curse is spread through a video game. So it's way more true to the source material than it seems.

I'll share what I had found last week:
While pulse driving, I had found one of those Civilization Shelter Pods, a pretty common anomaly encounter that doesn't really do anything besides give you some Portal glyph codes. Now, what was strange about this specific pod was that it had an entry point, similar to a space station's or the Nexus', that I was able to fly into.
(My game instantly froze and crashed shortly after my ship had initiated the landing sequence.)
I assume that it's just an unfinished function for the Station Override item.

Pretty sure the warm socks only serve the purpose of messing with you, you go through all that work just for a pair of socks and of course the devs will have fun watching players run around trying to find some big easter egg that probably doesn't even exist
I ran into one of those bizarre number stations in No Man's Sky myself but like everyone else had no clue what its for! After some thought I believe its more of a nod to the lore. I dont want to spoil anything so all I'll say is I think its meant to be a way to send messages between Atlas and an important being to The Atlas, which is why there is never a reply. It only sends out a coded message. I dont think there will ever actually be something we do with it. Puzzles like that haven't ever been in No Man's Sky.
Regardless, I'm assuming people have already bugged Sean Murray about it on Twitter? In case y'all didn't know, the emojis he uses in some of his Tweets have ended up being clues. If you see someone asking him about the number stations, take note if he replies with an emoji!
Your facemask is AMAZING and I NEED one!
Okay for number 3 at the end with Curly's panties, it's meant to be a joke for the Japanese however on remastered (PC and everything else but 3DS to my knowledge) it lets you play a new game file AS Curly Brace. It adds a little extra dialogue where Quote wouldn't say anything and we'd just assume, and it's merely just for role reversal sake then. But for original and 3D it's just Japanese humor.
New Oddheader means its gonna be a damn good day!
To be fair if you read the Ring Trilogy novel, The Ring is definitely a memetic death matrix thing that is also a virus.
SPOILERS AHEAD.
Although the novel describes Ring/Sadako as a virus, it spreads itself through media; the tapes and according to the sequel Spiral, the first novel "Ring" **and** all subsequent Ring adaptations. It is not the curse that killed people, but if I recall correctly a cardiac arrest where they found a lump of ring shaped tumor in the heart system.
I don't know the plot of the game version of The Ring, but Sadako died after being r*p*d by a doctor / scientist who had smallpox and dumped into a well, where her vengeful psychic spirit, love for media / theatre, and the smallpox virus combined into a memetic virus.
So maybe the ring is kept by the scientist responsible for the creation of Sadako?
I've had Cave Story + for a while now and I had no idea that Beast Fang existed.

I’m sure somebody already mentioned this but, that fleshy wad from the Accounting game looks a lot like the big fleshy wad from the Inside game. Great content as always. Love your channel.
The first easter egg immediately made me think about bloodborne. That fleshy gray body on the ground looks a lot like Kos, and the baby carriage which featured a lot in the game.
No idea what it could mean though.
Same
exactly what I was about to say
Kosm*
yea, it's totally a Bloodborne reference
@@MinoriGaming But only some say Kosm
seeing U.B. Funkeys pop up on my screen was like getting hit by train. that just unlocked memories i havent had in more than a decade. i wanted those toys SO BAD.
The Accounting Plus creature is called “mother” it is related/inspired by the beached thing KOS from PS4 game Bloodborne. Also not sure if they were joking but Tree Guy and the Mother are the parents of King of VR.
Interestingly, the reason there's a baby carriage and the battery takes you to the main menu is because Kos is a mother whose baby (Orphan of Kos) crawls out of her to fight the player. Defeating the Orphan destroys the Hunter's Nightmare (the setting of the DLC) because it was created in the process of its inhabitants doing crazy shit to Kos. By taking the battery out, you take out what's powering the Nightmare. (BONUS: Throwing the seed in the planter is reminiscent of an Amygdala carrying you and dropping you into the Nightmare to begin the DLC)
None of this has anything to do with Accounting, but Bloodborne is just an amazing game. Would love it if more games referenced FromSoft games besides the obvious bonfire.
I came here to see if anyone else realized this part was referencing Bloodborne. The baby carriage is seen several times in BB too
@@iriswinter Mergo's carriage too! Though, I feel the Accounting easter egg is definitely pointing to Orphan of Kos, but yes babies are indeed a running theme in FromSoft games
was looking for anyone else who noticed this,somehow very few people did even though its so blatant
Would be nice if I was good at soul's type games. I couldn't even beat the damn cleric beast.
The HL:A radios could be a nod to a similar mystery from HL2, that being the strange unplugged television in the chapter "Anticitizen One", that shows the G-Man standing on a rowboat with a crow on his shoulder, all while dissonant music plays.
You'll hear the music first, and when you find the television, it turns off almost as soon as you see it. If you hang around it for too long, it explodes.

The Pool of Forgetfulness is more than likely a joke. They kept forgetting to finish the asset so they kept it how it was and called it a cheeky name
I'm sure someone probably already pointed out that the place you get teleported to after planting the seed in Accounting, is a reference to LISA: THE PAINFUL. the flesh blob is one of the joy consuming mutants of the game and the baby carriage references the beginning of the game. The setting it takes place is the post-apocalyptic world of the game.

@@UserUser-lh7hs Stop 'n' Swop! I don't have any videos on hand, but: The idea was originally that you would hot swap game cartridges so the data persisting in the N64 RAM could be read and used by the other game, but what caused it to be scrapped is likely a hardware revision made to the N64 during development that would have cleared the RAM too quickly to be practical. Banjo-Kazooie contained six eggs and an ice key, and you would have been able to transfer those items to Banjo-Tooie and Donkey Kong 64. In the final version of Tooie, though, you just get eggs and the key in-game; and the key was scrapped entirely from DK64, with only a text string and unused level warp to suggest Stop 'n' Swop was ever planned for it to begin with.
The Xbox Live Arcade version of the BK games kind of brings the idea back, with collecting the items in Banjo-Kazooie unlocking the items in Tooie and unlocking some parts in Nuts & Bolts. But unsurprisingly it's not quite as spectacular as the original concept.
Interesting thought. I've come to think it's just a Horizon thing, though. In the Frozen Wilds a mercahnt also gives you a Lone Sock, so socks might have become an inside joke due to the Decima engine being used for the grand task of displaying Norman Reedus' bare feet. If that's the case, I'd like to see the sock joke return in Forbidden West.

Something I find interesting with the Pool of Forgetfulness is that in the Elder Scrolls, water either is memories, or that memories take the form of water, or maybe the ocean is filled with memories... It's a bit unclear, but regardless, memory is directly linked with water.
So a source of water that is linked to forgetfulness -- which I assume means that drinking or bathing in the water causes one to lose memories -- is certainly an interesting concept.
It’s forgetfulness because that water was designed to not use a lot of memory (this is just a guess, idrkj

Has anyone considered the Half-Life Alyx secret to be a cryptographic secret? It's believable to me that "A14", "D7", "B4" can be part of a hexadecimal string, the most common format for storing these
There must be an file in the game that when you search in that hexadecimal thing it shows a clue or something like that
Thought of the same thing
I think it's a type of UTF encoding, however "A14" throws that for a loop sort of.
In the transcriptions of the synthy_ID files, there are simple patterns being repeated if you plot the alphabet out. Some examples:
synthy_01 ("SW TX UY"): Each first character moves 4 characters to the right (if S = W then V = Z for example).
synthy_02 ("SPTQU"): The pattern is Left 3, Right 4. (Continuing this pattern leads to R as it is 3 Left from the letter U).
I'll edit this post if I find anything, but I'm only going off an old Reddit post as the game itself makes me puke (motion sickness, I'd probably like the game).
Edit: Think I figured it out. If you keep going with this pattern of logic you will get an instruction... or at least, a button.
"A14" breaks that hypothesis pretty hard. 14 is "E" in hex, not "14".
@@rollanddev Not necessarily, A14 is a perfectly valid hexadecimal representation of a 12 bit number:
A 1 4
= 1010 0001 0100
Combining the 3 constant sequences we get 28 bits of information total, which while uncommon in cryptography is seen in DES, which uses 2 28 bit keys individually as the basis of a key rotation schedule implementation.
To be clear I highly doubt that's what's going on here, just wanted to point out it is not entirely outside the realm of possibility
