In Oblivion, if you join the Dark Brotherhood there is a vampire that's one of the ranking officers in the secret clubhouse. I can't remember if it's him or the leader, but one of the two have a note explaining stuff about vampires and mentions that, even though it's a common legend, vampires don't actually give a poo poo about garlic and it's a stupid way to try and protect yourself.

The vampire that's there just happens to be allergic to garlic though, so if you shove some into his pocket he gets weakened when you have to murder everyone there for the Night Mother. :3:
It's a shame you have to do that to get that awesome horse. The Dark brotherhood members in that clubhouse were one of my favourite parts of the game. That orc guy was hilarious. He doesn't give a poo poo about the weird death cult stuff ("I don't know who the Night Mother is but she pays me to kill people. My own mother should have loved me that much."), he just wants to hit people with an ax.

During the Ocelot boss fight in MGS3, if you kill his favourite animal (the Markhor), he'll get really pissed. His buddies will also laugh at you if you wear the crocodile mask or a cardboard box. When Ocelot is passed out early in the game, if you stab him non-fatally, there will be a bandage at the spot later on.

You can shoot beehives to land on top of guards.

If you look at Eva's lengthy medical history while you're escorting her, you'll see that she's had plastic surgery, a boob job, numerous electrical burns (she's forced into a relationship with a big scary dude who can shoot lightening out of his body) and proctitus. :gonk:

In MGO, if Vamp got tranquilized and you tried to use the codec, he'd say "Raiden....is so big" in his sleep.

In the Act 4 mission briefing in MGS4, Naomi hangs her necklace somewhere upstairs. If you look carefully, you'll see that she was carrying around a locket with Gray Fox's picture in it.

I love how in MGS4, you can make soldiers laugh/cry/rage/scream themselves unconscious.

One of the things I love about Everblue 2 is how there's no music underwater. All you hear is the sound of your own breathing (which sounds different once your oxygen runs low). It really makes the atmosphere tense at time, especially when you're diving in the pitch-black deep water or trying to find the exit in one of the claustrophobic shipwrecks after getting lost. The diver's heartbeat becoming audible once his health drops in half is great too.

Well, there's no music for the most part. I'd always get nervous and think that this theme (comes up about 40 seconds in) was playing when it actually wasn't.

I really love the music that plays in Bully when you're just walking around campus. Gets stuck in my head all the time.

If you get in detention enough times in that game, you get a black and white striped prisoner's outfit as a reward.
If you have Jimmy wear a silly outfit, everyone will laugh at him and he won't be able to kiss anyone.
There's a freak show at the carnival where you can bet on a midget wrestling match.
If you swim off to one of the islands near where the Prep hideout is, one of the greasers will be there in his pirate halloween costume. You can beat him up and get his outfit.
But of course, my favourite little thing in Bully is watching what happens after you spill a bunch of marbles at the entrance to the boy's dorm and pull the fire alarm.

I'd get into fights with the preps just so I could hear their theme music.

In Dragon's Dogma, there's a system where you can romance literally every NPC in the game (including little kids, Capcom didn't exactly think the whole thing through) and you might not know about it until a cutscene where the dragon kidnaps them. It'll probably be the NPC you talked to the most, like a merchant or an innkeeper. Someone decided to go with the court jester just to see how it would look and good god is it hilarious.

Dragon's Dogma is the best.

One of the little things I love about it is since you get to create both your character and main pawn, you get two people to play dress up with.
The whole pawn system is really cool. I've never seen anything like it.

For people who don't know, you can get other player's main pawns as followers and when they're outleveled, send them off with a gift (usually just some random junk in my inventory) for the person who made them.

There's a quest for killing some skeletons/zombies that gives you like 60 skulls as the reward. Then a little while later there's a quest that requires a bunch of skulls to complete. SKULLS :v:
Goddamn it, I just sold all of those skulls. :doh:

One of the more common bugs back when Skyrim was released was a dragon skeleton would sometimes refuse to disappear if it was killed in Whiterun. Nearly everyone who had that happen to them formed a bond with that loving thing.
I've played the hell out of Skyrim and I've never ever had a dragon attack a walled city. Not that I mind.

When your oxygen points in Everblue 2 go under 60 (out of 200), the diver's breathing starts sounding shallow and desperate. Which really helps the atmosphere, considering that the only time that's happened to me was when I got lost in the underwater temple/cruise ship/submarine and was desperately trying to find the exit before my oxygen ran out.

There really should be more underwater games.

The bug bosses in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate twitch after you've killed them.

The music in the Monster Hunter series only plays when the monster has spotted you. There's no music during the Khezu fight because its blind. As interesting as that gimmick is, I still hate fighting that thing.

Speaking of The Penguin, his Arkham files indicate him as a "master of hand to hand combat" but he's punked every single time he's involved in a fight. :allears:
Likewise, Hugo Strange's files say that he's in "perfect physical condition" but when Batman gets to him, he's pretty much helpless. The tapes were all great too but one of the best moments was when Strange asked Penguin whether he's heard of the term "Napoleon Complex."

A little thing I like from Metal Gear Solid 2 is one of the dumbest moments in the game. Vamp a vampiric looking character with pointed teeth and a penchant for blood is being discussed by Snake and Raiden. Snake tells Raiden about how Vamp once drank blood to survive in a collapsed building and Raiden asks if that is why he is called Vamp. Snake responds "No it's because he's bisexual" and looks at Raiden with utter disgust at his stupidity. It's the best.
There's another great part in that conversation where Snake mentions that Vamp was banging the commandant in the tanker chapter and when Raiden was like "Fortune's dad? I thought Fortune and Vamp were lovers. Ew," Snake just looks offended and says "Would it have been better if it was with her mother?"

In MGO, when the characters were tranquilized, they'd say things in their sleep. Usually it would be something they'd already said in the main game. Vamp's line, on the other hand, was about Raiden's package.

Right after you see the alien for the first time in Alien Isolation, you have to get on a tram while tense music plays. I wondered if the tense music was for nothing like before and waited around to see if the alien would actually show up and kill Ripley. It did. Another part early on, you come across a group of hostile survivors. I waited around a doorway and bonked all of them with my maintenance jack. Turns out if you leave them alive and sneak downstairs, you'll get a warning that the alien is in the area when you come back because they'll be screaming. Since I killed them all, I didn't know it was there until I peered over the ledge and saw it pacing around the lobby. Freaked me out a bit.

Children of the Nile is an awesome city builder. I liked how the noble's mansions would increase/change based on how wealthy they were and what kind of services you had available to them. Like if you had a statue maker in your city they would decorate their mansion with little statues, or if you had a Tree Seller they would get a palm grove garden.

I also liked when they threw their little parties and your generals and scribes and stuff would get invited.
Yessss, I haven't played that game in years and I feel like such an idiot for selling it. I was a pretty lovely ruler though. I only really cared about making my palace look nicer, building pyramids and giving nobles access to pet monkeys. So of course, there'd constantly be a bunch of people protesting outside of the palace.

Ten bucks on Steam. I just picked it up because I was itching for a city builder and happened across that post.
I don't have windows.

In Outlast Whistleblower, there's this one inmate in a straitjacket who slowly follows you around, telling you that he has an itch, you look silky (even though his entire face is covered in bandages) and that he needs to tell you a secret. He never tells you his secret but it made me laugh because it was just so bizarre. The fact that his speech is really muffled, like it should sound, is funny too.

There's another character, Eddie Gluskin, who pops up later and has a bunch of scabs covering his face. He does sound like it, the voice actor probably held his cheek or put some cotton balls in it. Instead of saying "I want you to have my baby," it comes out like "I want you to have my vavy." Eddie in general is a fun character because he's this really twisted Nice Guy, serial killer who preys on men (he's so delusional that he sees them as women who just need to have their "vulgar bits" cut off) because there's no women around. Right when he sees poor Waylon, the main character, he says really creepy things to him and acts like Waylon is some perfect fantasy wife who will fix all of his problems. After Eddie gets rejected, he starts calling Waylon a whore and screams about how all the inmates are ungrateful sluts.
