Rick the door technician was perfectly placed after one of the hardest mob fights in the game on Jedi gm. No rest point for your health just an onslaught of enemies and then Rick waiting for you at the end
@@MilesJ. and he actually did on my first playthrough. I got cocky because he was just a regular trooper so I missed the parry window and died because I had basically no health left
I'm willing to bet "Rick The Door Technician" was added as a placeholder for an enemy encounter initially, and the dev responsible for it forgot to replace it until someone else on the team found it and loved it, so they all decided to leave it in.
A lot of the best jokes are because of stuff like that. its always good when they roll with it so i hope that was the case but its a funny idea regardless
A few more mentions: 1. Tekken 5. In the Devil Within mini-game, there’s a wall that you can only break by firing a killer beam, and in the room behind it, which you can reach via platforms that spawn once that wall breaks, you’ll find a retro spaceship that unlocks the option to play Starblade without having to reset. 2. MediEvil, the ps4 version. Once you complete the lost souls quest, you unlock a new option in the main menu. That new option, called “Old Game”, lets you play the ps1 version of MediEvil. 3. The Last of Us part 2. On Seattle day 1 as Abby, when Manny helps her sneak out, if you’re curious enough to look around, you’ll find a bedroom, and in one of the drawers, you’ll find a note that doesn’t count towards collectibles (therefor not mandatory for the platinum), because Manny yanks it off your hand in a few seconds. It’s an erotic letter from one of the girls he banged, and his dialogue with Abby about it is hilarious. Good thing the game is M-rated, because the context of that letter is quite TMI (I looked it up, out of curiosity). 4. Uncharted 4. Naughty Dog added a trophy that pops up if you do nothing in the first 30 seconds of a certain chapter, to laugh at the demonstration they screwed up because they forgot to connect the controller.
Fun fact: Nathan McCree, sound designer and composer for Tomb Raider 2, sneaked in the sounds of the butler farting as he follows Lara around her mansion AFTER Core and Eidos had it approved by Sony, because they apparently would have been against his flatulence. That walk-in freezer must have absolutely stunk.
I doubt it would stink those fans pull all the air out of it constantly. I used to smoke weed in the walk in freezer all the time! Why?? Because it NEVER stunk
@@reptar69 Also the cold makes it smell less and causes the smoke to rise. That’s why hotter rooms will have smoke settle more easily and will smell more, think any high school sports event vs a frozen fish locker or supermarket aisle. I still remember trying to explain this to my pothead friends and the puzzled looks they gave me 😂
I genuinely love learning about secrets in games. Cyberpunks massive secret was more compelling than the main story, that’s not meant to be a slam, it’s just that good.
I feel like it’s also a joke aimed at elden ring fans since the huge meme about the tutorial boss soldier of godrick being the hardest boss in the game
I worked on Brothers in Arms and remember testing the pew pew gun relentlessly! It wasn't always a cat but I remember when they put the model in and laughing with the whole office.
I need a video series where falc does an explainer for each of these. Or any of the other times he said “there’s not enough time” or like “we’d be here all day”
Gameranx NEVER mentions the secret cow level from Diablo 2 in videos where it would fit in perfectly :( Maybe because so many people know about it... but it is still perfect for these lists hahaha
I put a dead golfer in the out of bounds area in PGA European Tour Golf (1996). I also put a land speeder and a Jawa Sandcrawler from Star Wars into Emperor: Battle For Dune in 2001.
Never mind nostalgia over games, the #1 choice gave me nostalgia for when a Google search produced results useful to the user. I'm side-eyeing you, too, Amazon.
It would’ve been extra hilarious if they also add Matt the Radar Technician with max stats in future games. (If you don’t know, that’s Kylo Ren as an undercover boss from SNL 😂)
One that should be added is the team at supercell specifically the developer team for brawl stars. The lore they added is absolutely phenomenal. Dead serious yall need to check it out
Rick the Door Technician either works for the company or was hired for a faulty door, but one thing is certain, he pissed off the developers. Made him a one hit joke.
"We wilk fight for bovine freedom with our large heads held high!" - Cows With Guns I love when developers amuse themselves with weird or stupid easter eggs. Even if sone, like the Holy Grail in Dragon Age: Inquisition, drive me crazy trying to obtain
The interesting thing about the Cyberpunk 2077 Arasaka Tower game, is the one comment I saw where someone said until Phantom Liberty came out, it might not have been an actual mystery. It was just a hexadecimal colour code the CDPR team liked to put in the game. But the gamers spent so much time trying to find the mystery, that in Phantom Liberty the devs created a mystery to go with the code. Is that true? Don't know; but it makes for one hella cool story!
I dont know if this counts but my favorite is basically just the entirety of cod zombies being a dev just pushing it in there he also put a ray gun in one of the WAW missions and almost got fired for it
In AC Origins, there's a damn comet that falls into the desert, followed by a weird puzzle to solve. Once you solve it, it's an Easter egg for FINAL FANTASY which was so absurd and hilarious to me at the same time as Bayek thought they were GODS😂 It even gives you some overpowered gear
There are so many easter eggs in jedi survivor. Theres a hidden passage way with a 3 minute long squeeze threw tunnel only to find a room with battle droids painting a wampa in the "draw me like one of your french girls" pose.
My favourite Easter eggs are when the real game becomes the Easter egg. Like Noita for example. You think the game is just a standard rogue's ke platformer with the gimmic being every pixel is animated, until you realize the levels aren't really levels and there is at least 10x more secret content then their is in the actual game. Following the game instructions is just a red herring. The real game comes when you start finding ways to break out of the game.
As to Mr. Door. It's not certain but best theory I've heard so far is basically just "Replay quantum break to get the reference" As to Rick the Door Technician... if anything I feel like he's up there with the "TRAITOR!" guy from The Force Awakens for random storm troopers who seem like they should have some epic backstory to them but seemingly don't :P
Okay you guys need to start putting the name of the game in the chapters or the description cuz i didnt know the phantom liberty one and trying to play it as blindly as possible. This applies to other List videos cuz ive had bigger stuff spoiled for me and its frustrating. I normally have these videos on in the background and cant always react fast enough when i hear the game your talking about. 😢
I hate call of duty for putting easter eggs with no clue or inclination that it extis or how to access this. The devs are like" On stage 5 wait for the little boy to cross the street. Then shoot the bird that poops next to him. After that, go to stage 7 and wait till the clock reads exactly 3:45.18. At that point stand up from your desk and do 3 counterclockwise circles and then shoot a figure 8 into the 3rd light in the hallway. Then we will give you a chicken pox grenade".
I honestly think Rick is a nod to Elden Ring's tutorial boss "soldier of God, Rick" who is one of the community's biggest memes as the strongest character in the game.
Rick the Techinician is actually a reference to a sketch that Adam Driver (Kylo Ren) did as an Undercover Boss on SNL. His name was Rick the Technician.
I bet Rick the Door Technician is itself an homage to Mysterio in Spider Man 2 for the PS2. When you confront him in a C Store he has like 6 health bars show up and, like Rick, you beat in a single punch.
I feel like rick the door technician is nod towards soldier of godrick,it must be Both have similar name , both are common fodder enemy with boss health bar , both are meme .
The Talos Principle one is exactly the same as the theater room Easter egg in Serious Sam (or Serious Sam 2 I forget) which iirc was also made by Croteam
I bet you "Rick, the Door Technician" is a reference to the Elden Ring joke, where people started calling the tutorial boss "Soldier of God, Rick", instead of "Soldier of Godrick".
Rick the Door Technician. If the developers were going for a pun with the character name, they might have wanted to try and get players to claim they "Rick Rolled" a boss or something along a similar vein.
When I worked on Teardown for Tuxedo Labs, when we were getting ready to release Part 2 to the public, I started joking on our Discord server that some of the new equipment added to the game was explosive pickles. Fast forward and there's now explosive pickles in the game proper, as well as many people have made mods that add them as well, such as the Explosive Pickle Minigun.
When i first saw Rick the Door Technician i thought "Oh no an advance trooper"! Then i got him in one hit and thought "huh that wasnt such a chore now was it".
You should do a video of top 10 or so devs who always kept updating their game and by the end of it the game was a totally different thing like dying light 1 or stardew valley!
He spoke about justice, but nobody stirred; he felt like an outcast, alone in the herd (Cow doldrums) He mooed "we must fight, escape or we'll die." Cows gathered around because the steaks were so high (Bad cow pun)
I remember having to explain what a zerg rush was after one of my classmates found it... but i never played starcraft but i was the "Video game guy".. fun.
Rick the door technician was perfectly placed after one of the hardest mob fights in the game on Jedi gm. No rest point for your health just an onslaught of enemies and then Rick waiting for you at the end
So what I’m hearing is… Rick was there to finish the job.
@@MilesJ. and he actually did on my first playthrough. I got cocky because he was just a regular trooper so I missed the parry window and died because I had basically no health left
@@Rocco049and thus his legend grows.
@@Rocco049 i laughed so hard when he showed up. cause at that point no other Trooper had a name or title
I'm willing to bet "Rick The Door Technician" was added as a placeholder for an enemy encounter initially, and the dev responsible for it forgot to replace it until someone else on the team found it and loved it, so they all decided to leave it in.
There's probably a guy named Rick at the studio's headquarters who walked into a door and he became an inside joke.
A lot of the best jokes are because of stuff like that. its always good when they roll with it so i hope that was the case but its a funny idea regardless
iis it not a reference to "Rick Soldier of god" the elden ring joke
Soldier of God, Rick
Nope, they actually just put Rick in as an intentional sort of a cop-out after a difficult segment.

it 100% is
I feel like it’s also a joke aimed at elden ring fans since the huge meme about the tutorial boss soldier of godrick being the hardest boss in the game
as a gamer i love these "easter eggs" 👍 one more reason to roam around
👍🏼
👍🏻👍🏻 Two thumbs way way up, for one of the best reasons for doing everything in a game. Including the stuff that’s was off the main path.😁
I worked on Brothers in Arms and remember testing the pew pew gun relentlessly! It wasn't always a cat but I remember when they put the model in and laughing with the whole office.
It's nice to see most of these are modern games and some developers are still out there with a goofy sense of fun
I need a video series where falc does an explainer for each of these.
Or any of the other times he said “there’s not enough time” or like “we’d be here all day”
Gameranx NEVER mentions the secret cow level from Diablo 2 in videos where it would fit in perfectly :( Maybe because so many people know about it... but it is still perfect for these lists hahaha
They’ve already included it in so many Easter egg lists. They just are choosing to not be repetitive.
@@clays4038 I have been watching so many of their lists and I have yet to see it. Maybe I am just watching the wrong videos haha
Secret?...
@Dimitar_Tsanev yes, it's called the secret cow level when you make a portal to it

They should've given Rick a 3 minute cutscene just to build him up to such immense levels.
Dope subject. I am SUCKER for small love notes by devs. Even if they mean nothing, I just like the thought. 🙏🏾😤
I just tried the Katamari Google trick, and it even works on smartphone touchscreens. Nice touch.
Cod zombies was designed for the devs as a fun break from working

Yeah they talked about that moment in a few videos 😄
from soldier of god, rick to rick the door technician....we need more rick in the soulsborne universe
There are so many easter eggs in jedi survivor. Theres a hidden passage way with a 3 minute long squeeze threw tunnel only to find a room with battle droids painting a wampa in the "draw me like one of your french girls" pose.
Surprised that in Jedi: Survivor you didn't mention the secret room where there's a Wampa posing for some droids who are drawing it.
seeing Rick the Door Technician just gave me a throwback to Mass Effect 3 and Marauder Shields
My favourite Easter eggs are when the real game becomes the Easter egg. Like Noita for example.

Rick the Door Technician is more important than any nameless trooper out there. Cheers, Rick. May your legacy outlive you.

The katamari one is great! No clue they did that. Been playing through the games this week.
i love how in the Cyberpunk Wolfenstein easter egg the background music appears to be a retro version of Johnny's theme in the base game!
Band of Brothers was such a dope show
Fun fact, I used to run the waterjet that cut the parts for the Diamond Aircraft DA-62 years ago
The thumbnail thou😂
Falcon, my bird, Rick is a reference to the SNL skit with Adam Driver as Matt the Radar Technician.
Am I the only one who thinks Rick the Door Technician is a reference to Rick, Soldier of God (i.e. Soldier of Godrick) from Elden Ring?
Yes, this has to be it
I'll bet anything "Rick the Door Technician" is in the devs head cannon is the delusional biggest baddest door tech in the Empire
Jedi Survivor also has the painting droids. You have to find the hidden room, and it is a LOOOONNNNGGGG walk to do so.
I feel like rick the door technician is nod towards soldier of godrick,it must be
Both have similar name , both are common fodder enemy with boss health bar , both are meme .
THE CYBERPUNK WOLFESTIEN THING IS SOOOO COOL, how did I not know about that???
Say what you want about Jedi Survivor, Rick the door Tech was one of the funniest random moments I’ve seen in awhile
"... punch a clock and work more than they actually should..."
As a chef, I feel that... SO much.
Maybe Rick is like Matt, the Radar Technician from SNL, secretly a Sith Lord.
I'm pretty sure Rick the Door Technician is a crack at the storm trooper who banged his head on the door in "Star Wars". 🤣
Isn't Rick a reference to the SNL skit with Adam Driver as Kylo Ren posing as Matt the radar technician?
Kylo Ren's Matt The Radar Technician from Undercover Boss has to be the reason Rick The Door Technician was added. 😆 It's just too perfect of a nod.
The Talos Principle one is exactly the same as the theater room Easter egg in Serious Sam (or Serious Sam 2 I forget) which iirc was also made by Croteam
Pretty sure the Rick the Door technician is meant to be a reference to Matt the Radar Technician from the Star Wars SNL skit of Undercover Boss.
3:16 i remember finding the gnome one in watch dog 2
I bet you "Rick, the Door Technician" is a reference to the Elden Ring joke, where people started calling the tutorial boss "Soldier of God, Rick", instead of "Soldier of Godrick".
The cows with the tommy gun and UFO are a nod to The Far Side cartoon created by Gary Larson.
I always thought Rick the door technician was a play on Matt the Radar technician from the Ky Lo Ren undercover boss sketch on SNL
You know damn well most of us went straight to the Google home page and typed "katamari". Falcon is up to Jedi mind tricks of his own.😂
Unreal 2 The Awakening is named that because it awakened something in a lot of boys playing it 😁
I like the thought that these easter eggs are from devs procrastinating their work
Rick the Door technician is a riff on Matt the Radar technician from SNL Star Wars Undercover boss
Dude, I laught so loud when I faced "Rick The Door Technician" 😂
Shitting on Google was easily the best part. Well done, Falcon. Well done.
I'm pretty sure the cat gun is from the SNL "laser cats" skit, I could be wrong though
What about google's zerg rush minigame? You have to protect the web page from invading Os. A fun starcraft reference.

Rick the Door Technician is basically an Elden Ring easter egg/joke as a reference from Rick, the Soldier of God.
Would love to see them talk about Ion Fury and how it has a reference to The Room.
I have a photo but I don't know how to share it on TH-cam.
Always makes my day to see a new gameranx video!
You should do a video of top 10 or so devs who always kept updating their game and by the end of it the game was a totally different thing like dying light 1 or stardew valley!
Google also has "Cat" and "Dog" searches that let you click in the same spot to trigger a meow or bark and paw prints where you clicked. :)
I think "Rick the Door Technician" was a joke to make fun of all the names given to background characters in Star Wars.
that KATAMARI search is hilarious!! thanks
Speaking of saved power ups: you can save multiple power ups up to the number of players (not sure about yoshi and nabbit).
Getting the scarab gun in halo 2 is a pretty legendary Easter egg
He spoke about justice, but nobody stirred; he felt like an outcast, alone in the herd (Cow doldrums)
He mooed "we must fight, escape or we'll die." Cows gathered around because the steaks were so high (Bad cow pun)
Biting the hand that feeds you is your best quality, Falcon
oh and thanks for the Alan Wake II spoiler at 5:08
Adding Todd Howard to that fucking start is one ballsy move. But I guess it just works
I love developer stuff like this. Thanks.
"Cows with Guns" by Dana Lyons, a satire/social comentary song might be the inspiration for #8
My favorite google easter eggs were 'elgoog' and 'do a barrel roll'.
Number nine is a reference to battle block theater
7:42 Oh yes I was jus... just looking at the subtitles in the game.
My favorite Google Easter egg is "zerg rush".
What about Tekken Force in Tekken 3, that was added due to the devs having some extra time and thinking it would be fun?
Great video! Love waking up to good content! Very inspiring.
that katamari mini game is so rad
I do wonder what Falcon thinks of Google. He's so subtle here 😅
Pew Pew gun looks like it's based off the SNL Laser Cat series.
God I love hearing Falcon's voice lol, it just makes my day.
I remember having to explain what a zerg rush was after one of my classmates found it... but i never played starcraft but i was the "Video game guy".. fun.
