Amazon confirmed Fallout would return for a third season, announcing the renewal ahead of season two's launch. By that point the first two seasons had already pulled in over 100 million viewers worldwide between them, landing among the most-watched seasons in Prime Video's history.
When Fury mentions Life Model Decoys to explain away Coulson's supposed 'death', it flew right over most audiences' heads back in 2012. It's actually a proper deep cut reference to the comics, where LMDs are robotic doubles built to stand in for real people - Whedon dropped it in years before it would matter to anyone paying attention.
During the frantic final Warthog dash off the exploding Pillar of Autumn, if you're brave enough to ignore the countdown and take a detour instead, there's a hidden side room with the word REX scrawled across the walls in blood, one of the more unsettling little secrets in the game.

By May 2011, just half a year after launch, Ubisoft confirmed Brotherhood had shipped 7.2 million units, pushing the whole franchise's lifetime shipments up to around 29 million at that point.
There used to be an NPC called 'Docky' who ran a boat between Port Khazard and Brimhaven for a small fee. When RuneScape moved from Classic to RS2, Docky himself never made the transition — but strangely, his actual boat did, and it's still sitting there in the game to this day.
