Sometimes we come across something in a video
game that makes you think... 'Uhh...' 'I think I'm going to take a break from video
games for a while.' Thanks to the many mysteries and discoveries
sent to me from the last videos in this series... Today we’re diving into the top ten strangest
mysteries and discoveries in video games that still remain unsolved to this day... Part 3. Borderlands. Only a few days ago, DaxMarko came to me on
my Discord server with a hair-raising claim of something he found on the PC version of
the original Borderlands. Normally, during the game’s startup a distinctive
ambience of wind, music and sound can be heard on the game's opening screen, which
doesn’t last remarkably long before ceasing on the main menu screen. Dax launched Borderlands from the desktop,
when decided he was going to check his Discord messages before becoming too distracted, so
he alt-tabbed to the desktop and switched over to Discord. Surprisingly, he noted that the audio from
the game’s startup continued to play while he checked his messages, instead of the audio
suspending as he normally assumed would happen when minimizing a game. After a while the music finally faded to a
close, allowing Dax to finally get some peace and mind while he checked his messages in
silence. [moaning] Of course, that didn’t last long, as suddenly
a completely inexplicable, unworldly audio began to emit from the minimized Borderlands
application. When Dax first told me of this, I really had
my doubts, but with the help of my friend Synchronized Churro Ensemble, we sure enough
found to our absolute surprise that we could replicate the audio discovery ourselves every
time. ...And you can see here that the audio is
broadcasting directly from the Borderlands app. Curiously enough, if you switch back over to Borderlands, the strange moaning appears to switch over to a completely different audio file. What?
[background ambience] Nowhere does this audio appear to show up
anywhere else in the game, nor could we find any other mention of this online, and it even
appears according to The Cutting Room Floor that the audio from the game has yet to be
ripped and fully documented. So, if anyone has the tools to do so and wants
to take time to check out that audio file for a clue, you’d be saving us all from
being alone at night wondering what the hell any of this is supposed to mean. [moaning] In Cold Blood. I love this mystery thanks to BrotherBox’s
incredible research that he made on my Discord server. In Cold Blood is a now obscure attempt by Revolution
Software to break out of their point and click comfort of their hit Broken Sword series, trying their hand at an action espionage third-person game. Results were.. mixed. BrotherBox noticed at this point in the story,
when you retrieve data off of this corpse, you receive the chemical compound for blue
tri-nepheline on your PDA. BrotherBox quickly felt that the “compound”
looked suspicious, having a hunch it may have actually been hexadecimal, and used a hex
decoder to unhexlify it.. confusingly, revealing the message: “Congratulations to the ex.." [glitch noises] - as the rest of the message trails off into seemingly indecipherable nonsense. Brotherbox sent a message to Revolution Software
themselves and in return received this response back: “In Cold Blood was made quite a while ago,
and regrettably, a lot of the team are no longer working with Revolution, so we had to ask
around where we could try to get an answer for you. Regrettably, though, we're not sure what the
message was supposed to say. And we believe it may be an Easter Egg that a
scripter put in the game and didn't make a note of. We can keep investigating, but it may prove
extremely difficult to track down an answer!” First of all, huge props to Revolution for
getting back to us so quickly! Except now we’re stuck with a mystery on
our hands even they can't answer! Well, hopefully, this one isn’t completely
lost to time and space, as maybe we’re just failing to decipher the code’s second half,
so hopefully, someone out there is willing to give it a go. Cause uh... we’d like to have a solved mystery
update video one day, wouldn't we? [explosion sound] Silent Hill 3. Thanks to Sputnik who submitted this mystery
through oddheader.com, who explains it's an obscure one even for the most hardcore Silent
Hill fans. Only in this room, at this location in the
Alternative Hilltop Center, during extremely rare and unknown circumstances, the normally
silent Insane Cancer creature in this room will randomly start speaking in a Japanese
voice to the player! What? [Japanese speaking] And this is the English version! Then at complete random, Heather [female Japanese voice]
will even start responding in Japanese herself! Even stranger, if the player were to hit the
Insane Cancer with the maul during this state, you can hear a completely [high-pitched screaming]
off-tone, ridiculous sounding scream! What exactly triggers the random dialogue has been greatly contested among those who’ve encountered it. Though Sputnik claims they only ever got it
to trigger during Hard Mode while wearing the Princess Heart costume obtainable after beating the game once and then entering PrincessHeart into the costume typewriter - although Sputnik
admits others claim to have heard it in other locations without the costume… ...though this has never been confirmed. All of this is especially confusing because
while the game was made in Japan, both versions of the game use the same English-speaking
voices... ...which is highly reminiscent of another rare
audio occurrence in Silent Hill 2, where an especially unsettling, out-of-place whisper
can sometimes be heard when entering Room 209. [indecipherable whispering] Excuse me for
a second, cause I just pissed myself. No one to this date has ever figured out what
the audio actually says, though many Silent Hill theorists are convinced that beginning
part of the audio says ‘See my dead wife and come home, do some laundry…’ which
would almost make some sense with the narrative, though barely. To make things even stranger, Silent Hill’s
Japanese translator, Jeremy Blaustein - who worked closely with the original team - said
in an interview with Game Set Watch that he claimed he didn’t remember anybody scripting
or recording this audio at all, suggesting it was a warmup take by a voice-actor
that somehow ended up in the scene, though noted that would be odd considering the Japanese
sound team would have had no way of knowing what was being said if it was actually recorded
in English, as most suspect. Whether or not either of these horrifying
audio messages were actually intentional has been highly contested... and how to replicate
both sets of voices to trigger every time, still remains a mystery. Though really it’s hard to get a straight
answer on anything when it comes to Silent Hill. Tak and the Power of Juju. Tak and the Power of Juju, if you may remember,
was a property pushed for many years by Nickelodeon, first as an overlooked platforming game before
later becoming a mostly-overlooked animated tv-show. Despite this, longtime Tak fan Floating22
still remembers a discovery he found when he was a kid that torments him to this day...
submitting it to my website oddheader.com. Floating was at this spot on Old Volcano Island
in Chicken Island West, when he accidentally fell off this cliff into the water, where
you’re normally not supposed to go as a jellyfish will instantly kill you. Instead, he noticed this hidden cave area
inside the bottom of the cliffside that seemingly had nothing to do with the game. Inside, he found a blurry portrait image of… I think a monkey… I don't know, it kind of looks like a dog
from the way it's sitting… ...and underneath it a set of indecipherable numbers. Hmm… more codes. Interestingly, after uploading the discovery
for me to see, Floating found they weren't the only person who’s been pondering the
existence of what they call the “monkey shrine” as a handful of other players have
also found themselves going ape over the existence of the room. I also noticed on TCRF there was a description
of an obscured easter egg on the to-do list, but couldn’t find any hints of what that
was referring to. It’s still a mystery as to what the significance
of the monkey shrine is supposed to be and also why so many people have been playing
Tak and the Power of Juju lately. Far Cry 5. Far Cry 5 is the fastest selling and perhaps
most controversial Far Cry title to date, in which players assume the role of the Deputy,
who comes to Hope County, Montana to take down preacher Joseph Seed, who’s also a doomsday
cult leader who uses coercion and malevolence to keep the county under his control.
[explosion sounds] Hauntingly, shortly after release, redditor
Colby_Klaus found that if you drive to a particular fixed region of the map while listening to
the gospel or classic rock station in your vehicle, and waited in a spot for an extended
period of time, you would eventually hear a rather ominous radio transmission bleeding
through the static. [creepy radio static] The Far Cry subreddit tore this discovery
apart, finding several locations across the map where more mysterious transmissions could
be intercepted. Some players have even claimed to hear the
words “someone" "help me" "they will get me" and "a gun.” With some players noting the locations of
the transmissions appear to match X’s on maps found throughout the game. Many believe it’s somehow connected to a
rumored big foot discovery still yet to be found, or at least connected to a random telephone
that unexplainably plays a random audio of a weeping woman. [woman crying] "Mmhmm.. that's not creepy." Unfortunately, as of this video, Ubisoft has
never confirmed the meaning of the mysterious sinister recordings, though if nothing else
it’s definitely scary as [bleep]. Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition. Thanks to W The Gamer who also shared this
interesting discovery with me on my Discord server. In Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition, on the map
San Diego... If you were to go fairly out of your way of the intended course... You could find this mysterious and misplaced
Dodge Viper off the track that appears even if you set
the race traffic to off. Stranger yet, if you drive over this way and
activate the ninth checkpoint on the track... ...the dodge viper will suddenly take off from
its idle position, flying downward at full speed in a set direction. Looks like the race is on! Let's do this! I feel the need.. the need - - oh wait, this is Midnight Club. Strangely, the viper unexplainably veers off
in a seemingly predetermined trajectory a– HOLY [bleep]!
[motor vehicle collision noises] ...it crashes head first into the
baseball stadium. From there, players have failed to ever figure
out its purpose or anything further involved with the mysterious viper. I certainly hope it’s not a developer reference
or a memorial as some player’s have suggested, ‘cause damn… that would be pretty dark.. SpongeBob: Truth or Square. Thanks to Salfongames who submitted to me
this mystery again through oddheader.com. Salfon told me he was playing the game when
he found a glitch that allowed him to slip the camera out of bounds of SpongeBob’s
home, where he claims to have found a mysterious code sitting out in the empty abyss around
the environment. Sure enough, once I got the damn free
look tool to work with me on the Wii dolphin emulator - some reason this game's a huge
pain in the ass with it - turned out that Salfon’s claims were true. Initially I thought, maybe the numbers were
supposed to be spawned in elsewhere, but I truly couldn’t find anywhere in sight where
the numbers could possibly belong. Additionally, the selection of numbers is
confusing, what would these have ever even been used for? And why are the numbers fully
rendered 3D, yet the letter B is a 2D flat texture? I’m definitely suspecting it to be another
code if anyone’s willing to crack it, though I’m truly at a lost at how anyone was ever
intended to ever see this. I wonder what it is with so many Nickelodeon
games with unusual out of bounds discoveries, especially being the second one on this list,
though I’m not sure if either of them approach the horror sitting just out of sight in Attack
of the Toybots. Persona 3 Portable. Two months ago a redditor by the name pldtofficial
made a frightening discovery in Persona 3 portable. Normally, Persona 3 takes place over the course
of several months of the year 2009, with the calendar date progressing as you further through
the adventure. However, pldtofficial made the decision to
hack the game and teleport to a date that didn’t exist in the game, when suddenly
he was greeted by these… [lots of layered panicked Japanese female whispers and cries] ...completely horrifying voices and whispers. [more Japanese voices]
What the [bleep]? No one knows what the meaning of the mysterious
audio is supposed to be, as the audio doesn’t Resistance 3. While riding the boat in Chapter 5 slowly
down the Mississippi river in between killing swarms of aliens, players found they if looked
into this window at just the right angle as they ride pass, they could snag a very brief
glimpse of a mysterious figure standing ominously behind the shattered window, watching you
as you slowly sail by in the distance. This is one of those moments where I really
wish we had a noclip to get closer look, but unfortunately as a PS3 game it’s going to
be a long before anybody figures out how to do that, unless somebody figures out a glitch
to get out of the boat first, which I tried to absolutely no avail. Well I found a video of two players that managed
to get out of that boat, but they had no idea how they did it, so that didn't really help. ...I don't think they knew to look for this creep
either. Without being able to get a closer look, I’m
50/50 spilt between this being an easter egg or some sort of unintentional placeholder
model. Regardless, I’m going to guess it’s at
least someone’s dad considering how many commenters on this channel have seemed to
met such a fate with their father. Happy belated Father's Day everyone. If you enjoyed this video and want to see
