If there are explanations for some of these easter eggs, they’re not up on purpose.
Because you’re supposed to be scared, not relieved.

So please, watch this at night, turn off all the lights, plug in your headphones and be afraid.

Super Mario 3D Land is a platform game for the Nintendo 3DS.

It features a couple of haunted house levels, so you would expect some ghosts.
Usually they look like floating popcorn, or whatever.

But in one of the levels, you can find a kind of ghost, that looks nothing like the others.
It doesn’t move and it can’t hurt you, it just stands in the background.

(upper right on the screen, next to the clock.)

What’s funny is that this is right after a flag pole, the ending of a level.
The only way to see the ghost is if you completely ignore the flagpole, as if you really weren’t supposed to find the ghost.

Pronounced: Cil (as in Silver)
le (like the French word for ‘The’: Le)
ssen (like ‘hello, sir’, now replace the r with an n. It’s not pronounced as Sin.)

It has been a great season for the 25 year old goalkeeper.

Cillessen left NEC for Ajax in 2011, where he had a rough start.
In 2 years time he played a total of 9 games (mostly cup matches.)
It wasn’t until season 2013-2014 when Jasper’s breakthrough began.
After numerous mistakes by goalkeeper Kenneth Vermeer, coach Frank de Boer finally gave Cillessen a chance in the first team and he took it with both hands.
Cillessen was no longer a benchwarmer at Ajax, and has started every league game for Ajax since.

Shortly after his breakthrough at Ajax, van Gaal selected Cillessen for the national squad, where he made his debute on June 7 2013 against Indonesia.

It even looks like Cillessen will be in first eleven of the national squad during the world cup in Brasil.
Eventhough some believe premier league goalkeepers Krul, Vorm and even Stekelenburg, deserve it more than Cillessen.

If only we had this much competition for the other positions.

Outlaws is a 1997 first person shooter game with a Wild West setting.
Not the type of game where you would expect aliens.

Just blow up the toilet and jump in the green water (alien feces?).
You will enter this a strange room, which makes you feel like you’re in a UFO.
There’s nothing in the room except a little window where you can peak through.
By the giggling sounds you hear, you probably expect to see Chip ‘n’ Dale.


Wrong.

The Game Boy Camera isn’t really a game.
It’s a camera.

You can take pictures with it and edit them.
Obviously it sucks, it’s a camera for the game boy, what did you expect.

The only reason this is still remembered by people, is because this is the reason some people have PTSD.

If you press the ‘run’ button on one of the menu screens, faces like these pop up:

Why would you do this to kids?

Another Call of Duty easter egg.
This time it’s CoD: Finest Hour, the first console installment of Call of Duty.

At some point you come across a closed door.
You can’t get inside, unless you throw 3 grenades at it.


There you go, now you’re in a creepy room.

It’s a dark room with pictures of children on the wall.
It has no ceilings, just floating candles.
You can find a nice machine gun next to a giant rat in a cage.
There’s also a little tank riding around.

But the most scariest thing in the room is probably the baby bed.
If you get near and pick up the teddy bear next to it, the ghost of a boy appears.
it gives a blank look, stands up, airwalks like MJ and disappears again.
