The Weird, The Funny, And The Unexpected
 
I was playing WipEouT purE this afternoon - the Omega Pack, "Burgertown" stage, to be specific - and saw this sign* in the scenery:

* Recreated, because I've yet to get a screenshot saver on the PSP.

I thought that was the last thing I'd expect to see in a futuristic racer, but sure enough, a little further down, there was a bunch of live sausages jumping up and down on either side of the track.



What's some other weird, funny, and/or unexpected things you folks have seen in games?

OK, time for a classic. Super Mario RPG:Legend of the Seven Stars. SPOILER TAGGED DESPITE IT PROBABLY NOT BEING NECCESARY! Rose Town Inn, little cute scene where Mario plays with that kid. Mario getting OHKO'd by the Mario game world equivilant of those silly little plastic Transformers missiles is just hilarious if you stop and think about it for a second.

Of course, there are much, MUCH better ones, but my memory for these things is kinda limited to about 72 hours unless it really stands out.


EDIT: Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX. A bunch of the picture thingies are awesome.

Jak 3:
"What do you think you are doing? This is no game!"
*Jak and Daxter glance towards the screen in confusion*

Kingdom Hearts II:
Tifa: "Hey, have you seen a guy with spiky hair?"
*Sora reaches up and runs his fingers over a bit of his hair*

Coach Oliander's mind in Psychonauts.

That is all that needs to be said.

The Man Festival in Shadow Hearts: Covenant.

If you've played it, you know what I'm talking about.

If not...well...google it or something. >_>;;

The Holy Bunny from Guardian's Crusade, and the subsequent request that you take the baby monster to the "Tower of God" to save the world. Definite WTF moment.

Fawful for all three of those.

As for unexpected, I'll go with something in Resident Evil 4.

At one point in the game, you come across a dead end. In this dead-end, there is an altar with a shiny thing on it. My Admiral Ackbar inside me just keeps adamantly screaming "It's a trap!"

Damn thing was an elevator. My expectations sold me out on that one.

Metal Gear Solid. Psycho Mantis's introduction.

I gotta agree. I want him in more games. Hear that, Nintendo? More Fawful.

Rockstar Games Present Table Tennis. Who would have thought?

Grim Fandango is also on the list for the Land of the Living. Weirdest thing ever!

"I HAVE FURY!"
That is one very quotable villain.

And how could you expect a fight at that point? You had recently fought Verdugo while waiting for the elevator and the two el gigantes.

I was still recovering from those when I was at that point.

What bothered me the most was when he said I was very methodical. After he said that, I realized just how anal I am while playing games. o.O

And still the best use of rumble ever.
