The Rarest Bird Nest Got Broken by Accident

There's a wonky-looking bird nest that's one of the rarest items in the game, and it can't even be obtained normally anymore since the trade route for it got discontinued back in 2016. Years later Jagex tried to give it a proper high alchemy value and instead accidentally updated its x-rotation, so now it just spins weirdly in your inventory.

Firefly's Prison Break, in the Background

Keep an eye on the newspaper clippings scattered through the Medical Facility and you'll spot one with the headline 'Firefly Escapes Gotham On High Alert.' He never shows up in person, but it's a fun way of hinting that the rest of Gotham's rogues' gallery is still out there causing chaos.

Black Ops 4 Was the First Mainline Game With No Single-Player Campaign

For the first time in the franchise's history, Black Ops 4 shipped without a traditional story campaign at all, putting everything into Multiplayer, Zombies, and a brand new battle royale mode instead. It was a genuinely risky move for a series that had built its reputation on cinematic single-player set pieces.

'Puny God' Is a Twist on an Old Hulk Line

Hulk's iconic put down of Loki wasn't invented for the film. In the comics the Hulk's usual go-to insult is 'puny humans', so swapping it to 'puny god' for a literal god was a small tweak that turned into one of the most quoted lines in the entire MCU.

The Nose Removal Is The One CGI Cheat

Almost everything about the Ghoul's look is done practically with prosthetics, but there's one exception. Goggins' nose is digitally removed in post-production, since that was the one detail the team couldn't quite pull off convincingly with makeup alone while still letting him act naturally under the rest of the prosthetic work.

A Real Chemistry Professor Checked the Scripts

To keep the cooking scenes from being total nonsense, the writers brought in Dr. Donna Nelson, a chemistry professor from the University of Oklahoma, to review scripts and make sure the science held up.

Torbjörn's Ultimate Is a WoW Callback

Torbjörn's ultimate ability is called Molten Core, which is a direct nod to one of the most famous raid dungeons in World of Warcraft. Small detail, but it's the kind of thing that makes long-time Blizzard fans grin when they finally clock it.

Vi's 'Cupcake' Line Was There From the First Draft

The moment Vi tells Caitlyn 'you're hot, cupcake' wasn't a late addition, it was in the scripts from the very beginning. The writers fought to keep that line in specifically because it's one of the only times either woman says out loud that she's attracted to the other, rather than leaving it all to subtext.

Vander Was Warwick All Along

That fan theory going around since season one turned out to be spot on. Singed brings Vander back from the brink after his fight with Silco by turning him into Warwick, the feral beast champion. According to the animation team, the idea that Vander's stubborn resilience would eventually make him into Warwick was baked into the character from the very start of the show.

Nearly 9 Million Copies by Year's End

By December 2016, just seven months after launch, Sony reported the game had sold through more than 8.7 million copies worldwide, folding in physical, digital, and console bundle sales.
