LittleBigPlanet is a fairly lighthearted kid-friendly puzzle platformer series with unexpected discoveries that I've covered before with more to come, as the series seems to hold an unusually large number of strange secrets worth exploring. However, one of the strangest discoveries ever found was on a 2008 PlayStation 3 development kit that was dumped online in 2019, where remnants of an early prototype build of LittleBigPlanet was found and recovered. In 2020, MysteriousCube and friends found on their LittleBigPlanet discord server, Dreamiverse... ...that among the recovered files of the prototype could be found this sinister image. To date, nobody has any idea what the hell this dude was doing inside a development build of LittleBigPlanet... ...but it definitely seems a bit too graphic for anything that made it in the final game. Even if this was intended for something else entirely, what in the bloody hell was that supposed to be? I'm not sure I even want to know... Black Mesa. Black Mesa is the commercial remake of the original Half-Life, originally released on Steam early access in 2015 with a full release in 2020. Many consider the game the superior version of Half-Life, with countless improvements and incredible attention to detail to the original game. However, one detail in Black Mesa that wasn't in the original game exists on the other side of that turret gun in the ceiling... ...as if you were to remove the gun from the ceiling, behind it on the danger decal would be, well... nothing. However, if you were to look in the alpha channel of the danger decal's texture, it would reveal in that spot... Eeewww. This hideous revulsion is actually Tarman from the ‘80s cult classic zombie movie Return of the Living Dead. Ugh, it looks even worse in motion. Why he's hidden here in Black Mesa? Can't tell you on that one. Something even more horrific than this also lies in the game, as on a random texture of a cardboard box can be found a hidden image of Mr. Six from the Six Flags commercial. Great... Guess this guy is going to start showing back up in my nightmares again. Grounded. Thanks to the people down below for submitting this mystery through oddheader.com. Grounded is essentially the Honey I Shrunk the Kids survival game, where the player must survive the backyard as the size of an ant that was released on Xbox One Series X and Windows for early access in 2020. Players found that if they got out of the map of the game, they could find this shed which lacked collision at the bottom and going through the shed, they would see this. I have no idea what that's supposed to be, but clearly it's wearing a chef's hat. A potato maybe? And that's not the only odd thing that can be found out of bounds, as in a particularly hard to reach spot in this rock wall can be found a lab door that can't be accessed unless you manage to glitch around it. Inside is a giant monitor with buttons that don't appear to do anything... ...and a giant killer blueberry. Which seems a bit out of place from everything else we know of the game so far. But while this discovery may just be content we'll see utilized further in development... Pretty sure this dude was never supposed to be here. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Dantheman joined my discord server and talked about how he found an easter egg that's never been documented in Modern Warfare 3 where a cigar can be found out of bounds on one of the maps, as well as unusual image of bear that could be seen at a certain angle. While most were skeptical of the discovery, Zarpozs on my server talked further with Dantheman to try to determine where exactly the discovery would have been, determining it was likely in the map Mission. After 20 minutes of fumbling around on the map with the spectator cam... Zarpozs flew into this random building and found entry into an empty room that couldn't normally be accessed. Zarpozs noticed there was smoke accumulating on the other side of the room. And sure enough, when he angled the camera just right, not only did a bear appear, but it also appears to be a ballerina. Obviously this raises a number of questions, like what the hell this represents and why it was hidden so well, given that it took so many years to find. Needless to say, this one definitely gives me paws. Apex Legends. Thanks to Sly for submitting me this mystery on my discord server. Throughout the game, players have a one in 500 chance to collect an heirloom from a loot box... ...which when held will occasionally trigger a secret animation depending on the character. For instance, with the character Mirage, occasionally with the heirloom, he'll hit someone with a pork chop. Dataminers looking through the files where Mirage’s secret animations were stored, however, managed to find this file among the other assets for the secret animations in the game. The image is pretty clearly thought to be Mirage among his family, but it's still unclear what the secret animation associated with the image would actually look like. To this day the animation still remains unseen and unfound... Believed by many to be an ultra-rare animation that still hasn't been triggered in the game. I can only imagine the animation will manage to be a little more sentimental than this... Bloodrayne: Terminal Cut. Thanks to Kuest for submitting this through oddheader.com. Bloodrayne is definitely a game that isn't coy with the suggestive, as redheaded vampire Rayne was even the first video game character to ever appear in Playboy in 2004. However, thanks to Kuest crawling through the files of the recently released Bloodrayne: Terminal Cut, for some reason there appears to have been added images to the files that are spicier than anything else that appears in the game... Well, obviously I'm not going to be able to show you this whole image. Instead, here's a kid friendly recreation of the image... Uh, yeah... This is actually a lot more awkward than I thought it'd be... The Last of Us. You may have recently seen a highly covered easter egg, supposedly found after seven years in The Last of Us, where at the beginning of the game as Sarah, if you were to stand on the last step of the staircase, quit to the main menu, reload the game, and then went back to the bedroom, you would see an ant projected on the television instead of the normal static. The ant is actually an upside-down still from the BBC documentary about an ant-eating fungus that inspired the infected in the game. Now this was covered everywhere from IGN to The Gamer, and not only is it not new—Captain Eggcellent covered it over six months ago— but also the developer who programmed the sequence, Kurt Margenau retweeted the IGN tweet and said: “As the one who scripted this sequence, sounds like a bug to be honest.” Well, it certainly looks like a bug. Kurt Margenau went on: “I could be misremembering seven years ago, but I think the flip book of the ant was like a default shader test thing and it appearing is probably me not initializing something correctly. Or it was intentional and I don't remember. I'm old now.” Well, I guess there's a small chance that IGN and the gang didn't get it completely wrong and it could still be an easter egg. But if you want to see a list of confirmed recently discovered easter eggs that weren't found for years, I'll just leave this video, right here. Law and Order II: Double or Nothing. 2003’s Law and Order: Double or Nothing is one of many games based on the hugely successful TV show... ...which is why there didn't seem to be anything unusual about this scene. Fast forward four years later, and suddenly the game was met with a storm of controversy and even getting pulled from store shelves. As it turned out, this image in the background was an actual photo of the child abduction of James Bulger in 1993, whose mother was outraged to find out was actually used in the game. Legacy Interactive, who both developed and published the game, quickly apologized and patched the image out of the game... ...but not before every distributor decided not to carry the title. Legacy Interactive stated “This is the first time we knew anything about it. Otherwise we would have never put it out.” Either way, considering it took four years to find, I'm sure the developers never thought anyone would notice they used an image of such a heinous crime. Yikes. Va-11 Hall-a: Cyberpunk Bartender Action. Thanks to Luke for submitting this mystery through oddheader.com. 2016’s Va-11 Hall-a is a 2D cyberpunk game where the game’s plot changes based on the types of drinks you make the clientele at the eponymous Va-11 Hall-a bar, said to be a cross between a visual novel and a bartending simulator. However, inside the files of the game is a folder titled “answer” ...and inside is a file titled “Her”... ...which is a strange 3D image that doesn't look anything like the game... ...of a woman on an empty street with a mysterious figure in the distance. Nowhere does this appear anywhere in the final game and nor does anybody know who “her” is supposed to be. The developer was tweeted about it on Twitter with someone assuming it was meant for a teaser, but the developer replied: “People keep finding these images in the game’s folder and we have no idea why. Might be spywares.” Right... For some reason I'm not buying that... Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl. Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl is a first-person-shooter survival-horror series set after a fictional second nuclear explosion at the site of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. Despite coming out in 2007, Stalker was originally announced as far back as 2000, with multitudes of unfinished builds of the game being leaked online before the game released, with some that the developers even released themselves. One unfinished build of Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl that leaked online to note is build 749, the earliest known prototype of the game to exist. It's pretty certain that build 749 is a version of the developer probably didn't want anyone to play as for some reason the loading screens were a rather full-on image of a woman... Well... Once again, I'm going to have to go back to my YouTube friendly demonstration... Basically, she's like this. What am I doing with my life? And if you want to attract a woman like Barbie, you might want to be like Ken and check out Manscaped. Thanks again to Manscaped for being an awesome supporter of the channel again. Manscaped's hooked me up with a bunch of tools from their performance package kit, and it's all been awesome. The Lawnmower 3.0 remains their flagship product by being waterproof and safe in the shower. I've personally never gotten a nik or cut using this thing, which is likely thanks to the advanced skin safe technology made to do exactly that. If you want to be even more devoid of hair like Ken here, there's now the Weed Wacker nose and hair trimmer, which has the same amazing quality of the Lawnmower 3.0. And they even sent the awesome Sheers 2.0 Luxury Nail Kit, which like the rest of the Manscaped's products is of an extremely impressive quality. I can't recommend these products enough. And for a limited time, they're throwing in The Shed travel bag and the Manscaped anti-chafing boxer briefs.

My girlfriend always mentions this bug/easter egg from the Sims 1 that she came across when she was young that scared her quite a bit. Basically she recalls seeing a very scary face icon that isn't the upside down face glitch (which on its own is pretty scary) along with maybe a scary noise, and it basically broke a whole plot of land in her game, because every time she would even mouse over this plot in the upper right hand corner of the map, the game would completely freeze. We've tried googling it and we've found a few posts that seem to reference people remembering it, but it doesn't even seem to be a graphic we can find on the cutting room floor.
Here's a thread on reddit that describes a similar phenomenon, possibly the same thing she experienced. https://www.reddit.com/r/thesims/comments/aqumhc/unsolved_creepy_sims_1_glitch/
She doesn't remember what triggered it, but she does remember she only had the 'hot date' expansion.
Ayee my submission got into the video!
Yayyyyy
so... are we getting links for those bloodrayne and s.t.a.l.k.e.r ones?
Love the video man!! Great work as always Oddheader. Loving the music
What the fuck is that thumbnail
Dang thought my submission would get in for sure
I love the vid, great as always, Odd!
But I gotta ask, is there any way you can up your vocals in the mix or make them clearer in future videos? It'd make the dialogue a bit more accessible
Anyone have the bloodrayne ones?
