Gaming's hidden messages

Grant kids to hell, read into the Bungie logo and become Death - destroyer of grammar

Words: Justin Towell, GamesRadar UK

That kind of obsessive search for hidden meaning can obviously be a lot of fun for the developers. We can just imagine the Bungie guys sitting around a monitor and laughing hysterically as people find meaning in deliberate gibberish. The same goes for Naughty Dog, who put a message in Spanish on a tombstone in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune (as reported by Kotaku). When translated, this Spanish message reportedly reads:

“If you are reading this grave, you're a huge nerd. Please get a life and a girlfriend.”

Harsh, but funny.

 Above: It could have said "I buried Paul" or something.

Don't forget the sign found at the UNLV level in rainbow 6 vegas. Found in the "quad" it says emo kids suck.

You forgot Portal (or this was written before the release of the Orange Box - meh.)the messages written on the walls:

Because I could not stop for death,
he kindly stopped for me.
The cube had food, and maybe ammo,
and Immortality.

Not in anger, not in wrath,
The REAPER came today.
An ANGEL visited this gray path,
and took the cube away.

What about in Final Fantasy I and II Dawn of Souls on GBA? In FFI, there's a Tombstone somewhere that says "Here Lies Link" Final Fantasy Characters killed Link? GASP!

hyperboy  - 6 months 21 days ago

for a village. i thought the sonic one was gonna be a screamer or the first one.

Thank god. No screamer. But another one about halo 3. Who could ever forget the backwards auido files when you would look at a terminal! There classic, and anyone can hear 'em. Oh, BTW, where is the optimus prime door.
midgiemelendez  - 5 months 19 days ago 
maybe the halo 3 thing said "CHANGE" huh? Obama, change we can believe in
(or something like that)

Don't put the subtitles under the audio clips! It enhances pareidolia.

lol, Real mature GTA XD
Funny though - I've palyed AC a hell of a lot of times and I never came across a door like that; or I just didn't notice it, better go play it again just for shits and giggles

also, could've sworn it says CAR in the Bungie logo, everything else doesn't look remotely close to letters
