I am aware of the 100% completion UFO that appears, but the things in the boxes in the mural found at the base of the mountains as well as several markings found around the map that appear similar have absolutely no relation to the UFO.
The golden warthog from halo 2 should've been on here. I remember trying pointless shit in private lobbies for hours with my friends to try to unlock it. Then the developers put it in the anniversary addition, smart asses
Luckky - Herobrine was nothing but a hoax but still has a fandom, if you look closely at certain MC posters, he's a cameo, thus making heroine true but not as you'd think, he is indeed a player but.....idk there truly is a Herobrine account but it could be nothing more than a person with a hacked client
I once had a friend (we're not friends anymore) that was completely absessed with Herobrine from Minecraft and would say how Herobrine came into his world and possessed him and forced him to come into other people's world and build shrine to Herobrine
+Scizor The Slenderdemon he did I'm not lying he would always join my world or one of our friends but if it was in survival he wouldn't even bother he'd only join if it was set to creative and start spamming out these "shrines" of Herobrine non stop and every time I told him to stop he'd freak out so one day I kicked him and unfriended him on the spot
San Andreas was going to have Bigfoot, but they cut him out, it was a hidden joke by the developer and when the rest had heard about it, they took him out. GTA have a lot of rumours yeah, but they aren't real....a lot of them just aren't how games work and others have unconvincing reasoning. RockStar don't dispel them because there's no point, you don't see them come true, they are not true. And those that are...aren't very exciting anyway. All you do is look into the code, if it it ain't there, it ain't true. They could also code that Pokemon one if they wanted...easily, nothing creepy, just lines of commands.
I got mew by not going through the cruise ship coming back with a super ball after defeating the gym leaders and there you go to the back of the pick up. and mew will appear. you can only catch him with the super ball... i cannot believe this has been forgotten to the next generation of Pokemon trainers...
Wait. Your comment had 9 words. The first sentence had three (including the number 3). 9/3=3. There are three different "3"'s in your comment: the three words of the first sentence, the 3 in the first sentence, and the 9/3. You know what this means? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, SO GET OVER IT! WE ARE NEVER GETTING HALF LIFE THREE!
If developers don't get lazy they make Half Life 3 some time later when cash from Half Life 1 and Half Life 2 dry out and people still want Half Life 3
There was no Cow level in Diablo 1 BUT in Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 there is: In Diablo 1 and Hellfire there was no Cow level just hoax about it in a Diablo 1 there was hoax by players that if you click on cows and do some things Cow level would open, and in Hellfire developers reacted to that hoax and made new character who would say "moo i said moo" to mock hoaxers. There is Cow level in Diablo 2 and Lord of Destruction, i can post screenshots of it. In Diablo 2 you need to complete difficulty to unlock Cow level, beat Diablo, get Wirts wooden leg from Tristram ruins from same difficulty that you have completed, go to Rogue encampment (act one town) put Wirts leg in Horadric cube with tome of town portal and click transmute, and you have red portal to Cow level, but if you kill Cow King in it you can not open portal again in same difficulty until you open portal to Cow level in other difficulty. In Lord of Destruction you need to finish difficulty by defeating Baal and you can open portal same way as in Diablo 2 . But in some patch Blizzard really nerfed experience and drops from cows in Cow level. In Diablo 3 at least in some events there was a Cow level , you had to kill cow (enemy) and portal opened to Cow level . I been in few different "secret" levels in Diablo 3 like Teddy bear level (childish drawings and toy enemies) (event), Cow level (event) , Greeds level with lots of gold and few others levels.
I am sure most people know this already but Mew itself was a joke upon completion of red and blue they realized there was enough memory to add a single pokemon but no way to make it catchable until some geniuses figured out the glitch that let you without the event... using the poketrainer fly before combat exploit
In the original version of Elite (the space trading game) there was supposedly huge ships which were far more powerful and faster than any others within the game. You had to travel a vast distance to find them. These ships were even mentioned guidebooks to the game. But it turned out that it was originally a hoax printed in one of the computer game magazines at the time.
the thing with hero brine is that the update notes used to say "removed herobrine" for a very long time. before the notes said it many thought it was a new version of the steve mob that used to spawn in the alpha or early beta, can't remember for sure.
The Golden Eye one was planned to be part of the game, you could find the piccies of the different bonds using a game genie - you couldn't play as them though.
I spent ages as a kid believing the Mirage hoax for Frontier Elite II. I was so upset when I realised that I'd been had by the official strategy guide!
I'm super sad that Dark Souls 1 isn't on this list, they had the pendant in the game and one of the devs stated that no one had found it's secret when the item clearly states it is 100% useless, think it stuck for nearly a year if not longer before they finally said "ha, it was really useless from the start"
+Vipox There is no research, a lot of gaming rumours, like them all in general are a load of nonsense. All you do is look into the game's code, if the command isn't there, neither is the rumour.
Ermac from Mortal Kombat started as a hoax. It was based on a piece of code in the character select screen of MK2, that read "ErMac" (which is short for Error Macro), and people seriously believed it was the name of a character that you could unlock. Of course, it wasn't. Boon and Tobias included the character in later installations of the game after fans started filling their mailboxes with requests.
Mew IS accessible through a glitch in all of the old games. Red, Blue, and Yellow. Just get to Cerulean City and catch Abra, save a could steps above the man in the grass to the left of the Bridge where you fought your rival and walk toward the man. As soon as you get within his sight you pause really fast, it should work, but if it didn't reset and try again, then go to Abra and teleport back to the Pokemon center in town. As soon as you walk back up toward the bridge, MEW will appear there to battle you. You can catch it and train it to your hearts content. A glitch is not a cheat. It's a legit way to get Mew.
I remember when I was into Driver 2 for PS1, there was this cheat code going around the internet that you could use guns. Of course, Tanner's shadow shows him duel wielding guns, while there were none in his actual hands, so, of course, I thought that maybe there was some truth to this. No matter how many times I tried that cheat code, I couldn't get it to work. To tell you the truth, I'm not sure what I was expecting with that code. It's not like you could harm the pedestrians in any way, just scare them as they ran for a bit.
speaking of #8, there's another Fallout-related hoax you guys forgot to include= Fallout 3's Numbers' Station! all the steps required to make it work are false, as Killing Three-Dog after said steps results in perpetual emnity with The Brotherhood Of Steel, rendering "Galaxy News Radio" (the mission) failed and the game unwinnable, ESPECIALLY if you got the Broken Steel and Operation: Anchorage DLCs!
The Werewolf in Red Dead Redemption. A rumour/internet urban legend that went on from 2010 to 2012. Apparently, there was a Werewolf roaming around in the Tall Trees area of the map. It was difficult to find, but some players said they had seen it and pictures of it existed. These accounts were false however and the pictures photoshopped, and it soon became clear that there was no such thing. Or was there?
THERE IS NO COW LEVEL!! A hoax that was popular when I was growing up was from Diablo 1. The theory was that you could summon a portal in town to a secret location where you would tip over cows. In order to do this, a player had to kill every single monster on every single level of the game, then defeat Diablo. This was a long and tedious task to say the least....and I fell for it. It turns out it wasn't real. Funny enough, the developers at Blizzard payed homage to this hoax by making an actual cow level in Diablo 2!
*VIDEO POSTER; Forgot the worst of them all.* Nintendo's very first pokemon game. The game that made gameboy popular. A cheat was released that if you spoke to an NPC 10,000 times something crazy would happen. _(I don't remember what it was, look it up yourself.)_ Mashing the A key doing nothing enjoyable on the game for days on end. You had to do it manually. No scripts or rapid fires were possible at the time of original old school black and white gameboy release. After the first couple of hours you lost count. If you pushed the A key when the special dialogue came up you'd miss out. So you couldn't look away after you lost count.
The Halo REACH helmet "GDR" or "BOB" whatever it is called, the teddy bear helmet was such troll. Bungie even showed it off in a video. People still think it's in the game.....
Lol. Just stick to hard raids. You will get them. But yes holy fuck. People would convince other players to fuck around for hours like nutjobs......and we all totally jumped to the VoG cave.
Jesse Davis Ikr or in vog noone die kill all oracles and jump on all the platforms to get an 100% exotic chest with at least 2 or more exotics in it xD it was so stupid and people believed that shit XD
All Bonds is available with a Game Shark. They were available in the multiplayer select screen. Also with the Game Shark, it is revealed that the 24th cheat was Line Mode. Everything is white in Line Mode with black lines outlining all the objects. After playing it for a bit, it's easy to see why they removed it.
In Battlezone you just fought other tanks - no aliens. It was an early true 3D gameworld with wireframe models, like the original Elite on the Commodore 64.
At least Minecraft has a sense of humor. For every update, there's a list of things the update does. At the end of the list is always "Removed Herobrine". Nice... ;)
There are glitches for saving Aerith & catching Mew (via flying to an island nonetheless). Via mods, some of these "hoaxes" can come true, such as playing as Luigi in Mario 64, Pokemon Creepy Black as a hack, & the aforementioned saving Aerith & catching Mew.
The Sonic in Smash Bros wasn't on the 64, it was Melee where the rumor escalated. It was about 2 years into the fact that SEGA no longer had a console.
When I was younger I was playing Mario Kart when I fell off the track and into a pipe. I entered the pipe and got sent to Rainbow Road. I told everyone about it, but then realised it was a dream...
I'm sorry, but this list is incorrect. You were able to catch Mew in Pokemon Red, and Blue for Gameboy Color. You were able to unlock all the different actors who played the role of James Bond in 007 Goldeneye as well. 👍
the secret stairway on the earth level in the original FF. I spent hours trying to find it as an adult, convinced I used it as a child. I swear I even remember round about where it is and where it takes you too. And yet no luck.
The all bond mode from Goldeneye is actually a real thing but its only unlockable through hacking, the assets are all already there and just never got used.
You could actually glitch it to make it so that she is still alive and there is even some areas that she has blank dialog form when they where not sure if they wanted to kill her off.
There was a way to get Mew. You had to hit fly just as a certain trainer started to walk towards you, Fly to lavander Town and then walk out of town. you would get attacked by a lvl 5 Mew.
By the way; there is a game you can play for free in your browser that's like Battlezone (7:15) if you like the old school 3D games. Look up "Tank Hunter", it's by a guy named Ben Librojo.
Cry Potato Neither of the methods I know are mods. The Mew Glitch has been well documented for years, and keeping Aeris alive is possible on a PS1 or an emulator, using the game Saga Frontier. Do a bit of searching.
Mew in the Truck, and Big Foot in San Andreas were the main 2 that got me. I dunno how much time I spent looking for Big Foot in SA. I remember Survivor 2299. Seemed obviously fake to me, but it was still interesting. I miss rumors like this. You really don't get them anymore. With the internet and how quickly people can take apart a game to find out what's actually there or not, rumors like Big Foot die quickly. Personally I love rumors. Hunting for Big Foot was some of the most fun I had in San Andreas. Even if I never found anything, just the fact that there MIGHT have been something, was fun. I wish things like that could still happen. Especially in open world games. Rumors like that in Fallout 4 would be great.
What about the pendant from Dark Souls? I mean seriously, that made people spend hundreds of hours searching far and wide for something to happen while the pendant was in the inventory, since one of the games developers told there was something secret about the pendant. but then it was revealed that it does absolutely nothing.
well you can't save her but you can glitch her into the game... she doesn't say anything but she'll still be in your party... what's weird is that after a certain time when you pass a river she'll say * I'm sick of this * then continues saying nothing.
Herobrine isn't exactly notches brother. The is believed to be a hacker that enters peoples minecraft worlds and griefs them. So he is basically a glorified griefer. After he was sighted people ruined the story with wierd claims like that he is notches brother. Even though notch didnt have a brother he did have a sister (side note)
Herobrine is real. He's not Notch's brother of course but he was originally supposed to be a NPC like the villagers but be like, and look like Steve . The coding went wrong and Notch thought he removed him but didnt. Several people made up fake sightings and then several other people made up stories for him, but he was nothing more than a glitched NPC that had a messed up code to kill the player.
For the Sonic and Tails in Smash bit, are you sure you're not referring to the rumor in Melee? I've never heard of them being rumored for the original.
I got Trolled by my cousin.. saying If I shoot long enough the Computer thing in Dino Crisis 2 it would drop all the weapons, But afterwards they didn't live long to troll around. >:3
...Where in the world is that Pokémon Black rumor from? The one I heard about growing up was a Japan only game that had you start as normal until Nugget Bridge, where you would be recruited into Team Rocket via a dialogue box that kept recurring until you hit 'yes'. The game then proceeded like normal except for reporting to the base each time you acquired a Badge (as you were to infiltrate and run the Elite Four [so that Giovanni can take the mantle for himself then you foil his plan by beating him after the Champion battle]) and some mission dialogue that requested you to catch certain Pokémon before obtaining your next badge (and failure to do so got you berated whilst success granted you praise). Obviously this was not true, but it would have been awesome and equally as terrifying as having aid cursed Pokémon, as both leave you feeling drained and helpless. ...What is it with Pokémon hoaxes and the feeling of abandonment, hopelessness, and depression? Were we that starved for something dark, or was it caused by the not-so-hidden horrors that were behind some of the Pokémon descriptions? Is it a symptom of the nearly unobtainable completion task that we Americans forced upon ourselves via marketing campaign, or was it stemming from a general bleakness that seemed to emanate from the 90's time period after the hippie dream was lost in a sea of business and bureaucracy (70's) and the business mogul dream was washed away by the self-detrimental shark vs. sheep mentality of the business world that caused its own collapse (80's), leaving a lost, confused, and hopeless generation that was berated by society and the former generation alike for not being able to immediately wash away the failures of the past, thus constantly being judged and criticized by those unable to accept their own failures and projecting their own confusion and disdain on the victims of circumstance and time? Either way, there is no denying that the Pokémon games brought us to interesting places growing up.
In Pokemon Red and Blue, you could get Mew by flying to that old man, declining his story, then flying to Cinnabar Island, walking directly right and then surf up and down the very edge of the water. You know, do that 7th or 9th item multiplication glitch, can´t remember exactly how it worked. You could get Mew as well as Missingno, the latter completely fucking up your game for good.
+Jeremy J. It's actually less complex than that. Hell, you don't even need to be that far along in the game to get - not just one, but TWO Mew! You need to have an Abra in the party to use the glitch, however, so GL with that :p Anywho, with Abra in the party, you have to activate the glitch by going past Nugget Bridge and hanging a left, just above the patch of grass by the water. SAVE. Walk down and press Start as soon as you see a trainer and Teleport back to Cerulean City. Your Start button will stop functioning, this is the indicator that you have successfully activated the glitch. Enter the Gym, and beat the first trainer in the water. Head back up towards Nugget Bridge - your Start menu will pop up, exit it, and a battle will start - it's a Lv.7 Mew! For the second Mew, repeat the first 3 steps, but head back up Nugget Bridge and face off against the kid with the Slowpoke. Teleport back once he's beat, then repeat the last step - another Lv.7 Mew! Go nuts with 2 Mew in the party :D
I can't tell you how much time me and my friends used to spend either in gta trying to solve a new internet mystery on gta VC or SA. Or trying to get that damn 24th cheat opened.
Rockstar is on the list twice, yet no mention of the Mortal Kombat nude code rumor? Countless hours spent on playgrounds talking about it, someone always seemed to have a brother or cousin who knew the code. And back then the internet wasn't really a thing. We didn't have google search.
This guy can't tell the difference between a hoax and a creepypasta.
Ikr
Mark T. Wolffe this is hoax rumor at first, and then it become the creepypasta (if it's about herobrine)
The hoax for GTA V was that heists would be available on release. Man they got us good.
TubFullOfWater omg. Dead.
the mew one can be done on red and blue but not with the truck, no trade or cheats needed
right?! 20 years later and I just figured it out haha
I came across it a few years ago.
The Mount Chiliad Mystery has to be one of the biggest developer created trolls out there.
How so? It's a proven easter egg.
What about it is proven. There is still so much evidence that makes no sense.
Jackson Larson
? It's literally just clues that tell you to come back when you've 100% the game to see the UFO...
I am aware of the 100% completion UFO that appears, but the things in the boxes in the mural found at the base of the mountains as well as several markings found around the map that appear similar have absolutely no relation to the UFO.
Jackson Larson
They do though, go to the myths wiki it should explain it.
Even thou Bigfoot wasn't in San Andreas I still used to love searching up videos looking for him usually with the xfiles music
+Mr Handy Conservation Society The times. Well now we got the Jetpack in GTA 5. But the bigfoot was more interesting
The golden warthog from halo 2 should've been on here. I remember trying pointless shit in private lobbies for hours with my friends to try to unlock it.
Then the developers put it in the anniversary addition, smart asses
"Herobrine is just a re texture of the original skin" THAT'S WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WANTS YOU TO THINK!
#BushDoneBrussels
+Tiki Torchs no a couple of dork guys photo shopped into a vid and then he be came herobrine
+thatguy53 have you guys evr seen the first sighting xD!?!?!? you guys aren't real mc players.
+Xpert Gamer01 Didn't a hacker add him in and then he got fined or am I wrong (I don't play mc)
Luckky - Herobrine was nothing but a hoax but still has a fandom, if you look closely at certain MC posters, he's a cameo, thus making heroine true but not as you'd think, he is indeed a player but.....idk there truly is a Herobrine account but it could be nothing more than a person with a hacked client

San Andreas was going to have Bigfoot, but they cut him out, it was a hidden joke by the developer and when the rest had heard about it, they took him out.

They could also code that Pokemon one if they wanted...easily, nothing creepy, just lines of commands.
I'm gonna say that EGM is now defunct because of their...ahem..."review" of Aliens: Colonial Marines
"California landscape in San Andreas"
Dude, "San Andreas" is the state. Only Vice City takes place in a real state, and that state is Florida.
you forgot the half life 3 hoax
everyone knows valve cant count to 3
ha ha

old joke is bad
+brdn in haunted mansion no humor is no fun

its just that that joke is over used and is now annoying instead of being funny
I'm gonna correct you: It was about Super Smash Bros. Melee, not the original Super Smash Bros
Agreed i still have the issue
i was just going to type that.
alas mostlikely aerith did live until cloud drowned her.
you didn't say what the GTA rumour was, just that there was some
+Leafy is beefy, He truly is. HISSSSSSSS REPTILIAN BROTHERHOOD LEAF A LIKE
+Abraham Arvizu Chavoya fuck off thats old
+Bradley Groves Wait... is that the fucking hoax?
+Bradley Groves There were so many rumors floating around those goddamn games that listing them off would require a whole separate video.
+Cygnus' Edge That's right. From underground crocodiles, bigfoots, to secret vehicles and jetpacks
biggest hoax I fell for was that the new call of Duty with have the spark of the first 5
biggest hoax you fell for is that call of duty was ever a good game.
What is the music playing in the background? It's freaking awesome!
you can actually get mew with a glitch. look it up its pretty cool.
by doing basically the same thing you do for the unlimited items glitch
I got mew by not going through the cruise ship coming back with a super ball after defeating the gym leaders and there you go to the back of the pick up. and mew will appear. you can only catch him with the super ball... i cannot believe this has been forgotten to the next generation of Pokemon trainers...
Jesse James I did it I got my Yoshi to level onehundred then I fought ridly on planet galifry in the constlation of castobrus
Did Samus get you on the planet Namek? That's where I gave up.
Half Life 3. Nothing else needs to be said.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, SO GET OVER IT! WE ARE NEVER GETTING HALF LIFE THREE!
If developers don't get lazy they make Half Life 3 some time later when cash from Half Life 1 and Half Life 2 dry out and people still want Half Life 3
where is the secret cow level in diablo 1?
lol
it is real only in bestseller series
+Arron White No, it's real in Diablo 2.
thereisnocowlevel LOL
There was no Cow level in Diablo 1 BUT in Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 there is:

this arcade I used to go to. every April 1st they'd put up a custom made polybus cabinet with a sign saying "out of order till further inspection"
Nice list, but let me add the Pendant from Dark Souls ^^
Pokémon Black wasn't a hoax, it was a hack someone made and released
Leighton Petty after the creation of the hoax -.-
I am sure most people know this already but Mew itself was a joke upon completion of red and blue they realized there was enough memory to add a single pokemon but no way to make it catchable until some geniuses figured out the glitch that let you without the event... using the poketrainer fly before combat exploit
it wasnt a hack or hoax,it was a creepypasta story

Thargoids. They were in the game.
No not the Thargoids, which were an alien race. There was a mythical spaceship that was huge, etc., but apparently was a hoax.
Mew doesn't show up with the truck, but der are indeed two glitches, that actually work to get Mew quite early in Red, Blue or Yellow
FYI, Sonic was actually planned to be in Melee, but it never happened due to time constraints on the game
I swear this commentator is on every list channel
It's kinda hard for hoaxes to "troll me to no end" when I've only played 4 games on the list and never heard of the hoaxes besides Herobrine
Remember 12 year old me frantically looking for sasquatch in San Andreas, only to find a creepy ghost that fleshed up on a rock.
Freaked me right out.
the thing with hero brine is that the update notes used to say "removed herobrine" for a very long time. before the notes said it many thought it was a new version of the steve mob that used to spawn in the alpha or early beta, can't remember for sure.
battle zone was actually about killing hover tanks on the moon, us vs ussr.
it was a game on the pc. it was pretty fucking awesome.
The Golden Eye one was planned to be part of the game, you could find the piccies of the different bonds using a game genie - you couldn't play as them though.

you guys need to do more research
+Vipox There is no research, a lot of gaming rumours, like them all in general are a load of nonsense. All you do is look into the game's code, if the command isn't there, neither is the rumour.
+Amaranthus616 they got the pokemon rumor wrong. the rumor was you had to push the truck. that is it.

An unusual is when the game enters a secret mode full of the mercs having gay sex.

IF HEROBRINE IS A HOAX WHAT THE HELL WAS THE WHITE-EYED STEVE I ENCOUNTERED ON SINGLE PLAYER
THERE IS NO COW LEVEL!!
A hoax that was popular when I was growing up was from Diablo 1. The theory was that you could summon a portal in town to a secret location where you would tip over cows. In order to do this, a player had to kill every single monster on every single level of the game, then defeat Diablo. This was a long and tedious task to say the least....and I fell for it. It turns out it wasn't real. Funny enough, the developers at Blizzard payed homage to this hoax by making an actual cow level in Diablo 2!
*VIDEO POSTER; Forgot the worst of them all.*
Nintendo's very first pokemon game. The game that made gameboy popular. A cheat was released that if you spoke to an NPC 10,000 times something crazy would happen.
_(I don't remember what it was, look it up yourself.)_
Mashing the A key doing nothing enjoyable on the game for days on end.
You had to do it manually. No scripts or rapid fires were possible at the time of original old school black and white gameboy release.
After the first couple of hours you lost count.
If you pushed the A key when the special dialogue came up you'd miss out. So you couldn't look away after you lost count.
That Pokemon black one is bringing back some bad creepypasta memories.
The Halo REACH helmet "GDR" or "BOB" whatever it is called, the teddy bear helmet was such troll. Bungie even showed it off in a video. People still think it's in the game.....
Biggest hoaxes: literally all stories someone told you to get exotics in destiny...
so true
Lol. Just stick to hard raids. You will get them. But yes holy fuck. People would convince other players to fuck around for hours like nutjobs......and we all totally jumped to the VoG cave.
Jesse Davis Ikr or in vog noone die kill all oracles and jump on all the platforms to get an 100% exotic chest with at least 2 or more exotics in it xD it was so stupid and people believed that shit XD
Jesse Davis or the worst one was go to gate lord before atheon get a shield and run back out and SOMEWHERE in vog theres an exotic chest xD
exotic chest* forgot that last bit
All Bonds is available with a Game Shark. They were available in the multiplayer select screen. Also with the Game Shark, it is revealed that the 24th cheat was Line Mode. Everything is white in Line Mode with black lines outlining all the objects. After playing it for a bit, it's easy to see why they removed it.
In Battlezone you just fought other tanks - no aliens. It was an early true 3D gameworld with wireframe models, like the original Elite on the Commodore 64.
At least Minecraft has a sense of humor. For every update, there's a list of things the update does. At the end of the list is always "Removed Herobrine". Nice... ;)
You could get mew through another glitch too, not only with through event.
There are glitches for saving Aerith & catching Mew (via flying to an island nonetheless). Via mods, some of these "hoaxes" can come true, such as playing as Luigi in Mario 64, Pokemon Creepy Black as a hack, & the aforementioned saving Aerith & catching Mew.
the greatest troll job in FFVII isn't saving Aeris. it's losing all your data because your game got corrupted when switching disks.
The Sonic in Smash Bros wasn't on the 64, it was Melee where the rumor escalated. It was about 2 years into the fact that SEGA no longer had a console.
When I was younger I was playing Mario Kart when I fell off the track and into a pipe. I entered the pipe and got sent to Rainbow Road. I told everyone about it, but then realised it was a dream...
Nice Kenshi music :)
I'm sorry, but this list is incorrect. You were able to catch Mew in Pokemon Red, and Blue for Gameboy Color. You were able to unlock all the different actors who played the role of James Bond in 007 Goldeneye as well. 👍
the secret stairway on the earth level in the original FF. I spent hours trying to find it as an adult, convinced I used it as a child. I swear I even remember round about where it is and where it takes you too. And yet no luck.
The all bond mode from Goldeneye is actually a real thing but its only unlockable through hacking, the assets are all already there and just never got used.
Survivor2299 i never believed because one of the first supposed trailers for Fallout 4 looked exactly like a Fallout NV mod.
You could actually glitch it to make it so that she is still alive and there is even some areas that she has blank dialog form when they where not sure if they wanted to kill her off.
There was a way to get Mew. You had to hit fly just as a certain trainer started to walk towards you, Fly to lavander Town and then walk out of town. you would get attacked by a lvl 5 Mew.
also the Pokemon black thing was a creepy pasta not a hoax.
By the way; there is a game you can play for free in your browser that's like Battlezone (7:15) if you like the old school 3D games. Look up "Tank Hunter", it's by a guy named Ben Librojo.
Keeping Aeris alive and getting Mew are actually entirely possible.
+blainyrules YES YES THEY TOTALLY ARE!!!!
MODS REALLY WORK!
Cry Potato
Neither of the methods I know are mods. The Mew Glitch has been well documented for years, and keeping Aeris alive is possible on a PS1 or an emulator, using the game Saga Frontier. Do a bit of searching.
Mew in the Truck, and Big Foot in San Andreas were the main 2 that got me. I dunno how much time I spent looking for Big Foot in SA.
I remember Survivor 2299. Seemed obviously fake to me, but it was still interesting.
I miss rumors like this. You really don't get them anymore. With the internet and how quickly people can take apart a game to find out what's actually there or not, rumors like Big Foot die quickly. Personally I love rumors. Hunting for Big Foot was some of the most fun I had in San Andreas. Even if I never found anything, just the fact that there MIGHT have been something, was fun. I wish things like that could still happen. Especially in open world games. Rumors like that in Fallout 4 would be great.
5:45 uh oh here comes a army of little angry 7, 6 and 8 year olds.
What about the pendant from Dark Souls? I mean seriously, that made people spend hundreds of hours searching far and wide for something to happen while the pendant was in the inventory, since one of the games developers told there was something secret about the pendant. but then it was revealed that it does absolutely nothing.
well you can't save her but you can glitch her into the game... she doesn't say anything but she'll still be in your party... what's weird is that after a certain time when you pass a river she'll say * I'm sick of this * then continues saying nothing.
I only learned one thing from this. I learned that sonics hands are the biggest part of how body.
"L is Real is 2401" was also in Ocarina of Time.
So they were just a texture.
To correct on Smash Bros, it was Melee that had the fake rumor.
Herobrine isn't exactly notches brother. The is believed to be a hacker that enters peoples minecraft worlds and griefs them. So he is basically a glorified griefer. After he was sighted people ruined the story with wierd claims like that he is notches brother. Even though notch didnt have a brother he did have a sister (side note)
According to a TH-camr that I watch said that it is possible to catch Mew through manipulation of the code
naaaah you're just changing the in game code to catch somthing thats totaly legit
Triforce - tons of damage
Herobrine is real. He's not Notch's brother of course but he was originally supposed to be a NPC like the villagers but be like, and look like Steve . The coding went wrong and Notch thought he removed him but didnt. Several people made up fake sightings and then several other people made up stories for him, but he was nothing more than a glitched NPC that had a messed up code to kill the player.
nope he's never been in the game all the videos that show him are modded
No he was real in one of the pre-releases
For the Sonic and Tails in Smash bit, are you sure you're not referring to the rumor in Melee? I've never heard of them being rumored for the original.
That Pokémon 'hoax' is actually a creepypasta...
+GamingBolt You can play as luigi on Super Mario 64 DS. You unlock him at the Boo haunted mansion.
Trolls. Trolls never change.
Aeris wasn't killed by the impalement, she drowned to death. Sephiroth severed her spine from the waist down, which is not fatal unless left untreated
Cloud dropping her in the lake didn't help
Herobrine used to be real in the oldest patches of the game as a kind of miniboss mob kinda thing.
All EGM's came out 2 months before the "month" on the cover, for some reason. So all the April Fools ones came out in Feb. from what I remember.
Aahhhhh the good days of 2011 when people were scared of herobrine.
Vault Boy agreed.
I actually have spent nearly two hours finding Bigfoot in San Andreas.
*filthy frank talking* you got pranked.
So Notch's brother was named as Hero of the sea/ Hero of salt? I'm sure that nobody smart enough would believe that.
I got Trolled by my cousin.. saying If I shoot long enough the Computer thing in Dino Crisis 2 it would drop all the weapons, But afterwards they didn't live long to troll around. >:3
One of the biggest hoaxes I fell for was the golden warthog in the halo franchise.
Wait.... People thought Fallout 4 was going to release on my birthday?! I mean if it did I would be fucking ecstatic.
the rumored method of mew was fake but you can manipulate the game to make mew an encounter.
one hoax i remember hearing is Dr. Boskonovich being playable in Tekken tag tournament
...Where in the world is that Pokémon Black rumor from? The one I heard about growing up was a Japan only game that had you start as normal until Nugget Bridge, where you would be recruited into Team Rocket via a dialogue box that kept recurring until you hit 'yes'. The game then proceeded like normal except for reporting to the base each time you acquired a Badge (as you were to infiltrate and run the Elite Four [so that Giovanni can take the mantle for himself then you foil his plan by beating him after the Champion battle]) and some mission dialogue that requested you to catch certain Pokémon before obtaining your next badge (and failure to do so got you berated whilst success granted you praise).
Obviously this was not true, but it would have been awesome and equally as terrifying as having aid cursed Pokémon, as both leave you feeling drained and helpless.
...What is it with Pokémon hoaxes and the feeling of abandonment, hopelessness, and depression? Were we that starved for something dark, or was it caused by the not-so-hidden horrors that were behind some of the Pokémon descriptions? Is it a symptom of the nearly unobtainable completion task that we Americans forced upon ourselves via marketing campaign, or was it stemming from a general bleakness that seemed to emanate from the 90's time period after the hippie dream was lost in a sea of business and bureaucracy (70's) and the business mogul dream was washed away by the self-detrimental shark vs. sheep mentality of the business world that caused its own collapse (80's), leaving a lost, confused, and hopeless generation that was berated by society and the former generation alike for not being able to immediately wash away the failures of the past, thus constantly being judged and criticized by those unable to accept their own failures and projecting their own confusion and disdain on the victims of circumstance and time? Either way, there is no denying that the Pokémon games brought us to interesting places growing up.
In Pokemon Red and Blue, you could get Mew by flying to that old man, declining his story, then flying to Cinnabar Island, walking directly right and then surf up and down the very edge of the water. You know, do that 7th or 9th item multiplication glitch, can´t remember exactly how it worked.
You could get Mew as well as Missingno, the latter completely fucking up your game for good.
+Jeremy J. It's actually less complex than that. Hell, you don't even need to be that far along in the game to get - not just one, but TWO Mew! You need to have an Abra in the party to use the glitch, however, so GL with that :p
Anywho, with Abra in the party, you have to activate the glitch by going past Nugget Bridge and hanging a left, just above the patch of grass by the water.
SAVE.
Walk down and press Start as soon as you see a trainer and Teleport back to Cerulean City. Your Start button will stop functioning, this is the indicator that you have successfully activated the glitch.
Enter the Gym, and beat the first trainer in the water.
Head back up towards Nugget Bridge - your Start menu will pop up, exit it, and a battle will start - it's a Lv.7 Mew!
For the second Mew, repeat the first 3 steps, but head back up Nugget Bridge and face off against the kid with the Slowpoke. Teleport back once he's beat, then repeat the last step - another Lv.7 Mew!
Go nuts with 2 Mew in the party :D
UBE_Chief Thanks man! But to me, that looks WAY more complex than my version :-|
Jeremy J. True, my bad ^^;
But hey, once you get that glitch down, it's possible to get most, if not ALL 151 Pokemon from it :D
I always though herobrine being real was just some really dumb stuff...
mew truck BETTER be on here it's the most popular one of all time
1:29 good
7 counts as a myth, not a hoax.
I can't tell you how much time me and my friends used to spend either in gta trying to solve a new internet mystery on gta VC or SA. Or trying to get that damn 24th cheat opened.
Same use to look for Bigfoot with my friend after the game came out
The time spent I could have got something done looking for Slendy in GTA 5
Rockstar is on the list twice, yet no mention of the Mortal Kombat nude code rumor? Countless hours spent on playgrounds talking about it, someone always seemed to have a brother or cousin who knew the code. And back then the internet wasn't really a thing. We didn't have google search.
I don't know if I've seen a single video on this channel that didn't get something wrong
Lol, at least Rockstar added Big Foot to GTA V :D
Awesome Gaming Bros. have you done the mission before? it's just a guy in a Bigfoot suit not sorry.
MEEM MEEM Ikr
