Bolvar Took the Crown So Nobody Else Had To

Once Arthas finally fell at the top of Icecrown Citadel, the Scourge needed a new leader fast or it would've run completely wild across Azeroth with nobody controlling it. That job fell to Bolvar Fordragon, a human paladin badly burned in an earlier battle, who willingly took up the Helm of Domination and became the new Lich King to keep the undead in check from the shadows.

Carvings in the First Level's Trees

Right from the opening level, Sierra 117, Bungie hid a string of small carvings in the jungle's tree trunks, from an initialed love note and a date to a tiny caveman figure and even a whole hidden caveman family. They're easy to run straight past, but they were part of a much longer campaign-wide easter egg hunt players pieced together over the years.

Phil Cassidy Keeps Turning Up

Phil Cassidy, the one-armed gun nut voiced by Gary Busey, isn't just a one-off mission giver here, he's one of the more persistent faces across the whole 3D Universe, popping up again in later GTA titles set on the same timeline. For a guy who mostly just sells you weapons and blows things up, he's earned an oddly loyal following.

Germany Got a Softer Cut

The German release trimmed the blood out of the sniper mission One Shot, One Kill and dropped the arcade mode entirely. Even the on-screen word for headshot got swapped, changed from the English term to 'Volltreffer', which just means direct hit.

Toonami Quietly Un-Censored a Scene

A season three scene featuring Camie using her Quirk during the hero license exam originally aired more covered up than the manga intended. When Toonami later reran the episode, fans noticed the scene had actually been edited to show more skin than the original broadcast, undoing some of the earlier censorship.

Elon Musk Chats with Tony in Monaco

At the cocktail party before the Monaco race, Tony has a brief exchange with none other than Elon Musk playing himself, years before Musk's own public persona became so tangled up with the real-life Tony Stark comparisons.

One Actor Played Ezio His Whole Life

Roger Craig Smith voiced Ezio Auditore continuously from his teenage years at the start of Assassin's Creed II right through to his death at 65 in the short film Assassin's Creed: Embers, giving the character an unusually consistent voice across a good decade of material.

Black Ops Almost Got Custom Maps Too

Treyarch actually planned to bring the Radiant mod tools back for the original Black Ops, but the plan got scrapped partway through - only a partial set of tools ever saw the light of day, which is why Black Ops never had a proper custom map scene.

The Spidey-Sense That Foreshadows a Different Fate

Pay attention to the colours around Miles' head the very first time his spidey-sense kicks in - they're purple and green. Once Peter B. Parker finishes training him, that shifts to the usual red and blue. Purple and green just happen to be Prowler's colours, which lines up nicely with the Earth-42 ending where an un-bitten Miles becomes the Prowler instead of Spider-Man.

A Second Leak Hit Just Months Before Launch

History repeated itself in August 2026 when another alleged hacker posted gameplay clips and what looked like a full map of Leonida online, warning other publishers that nobody was safe from the same kind of breach. Fans nicknamed the whole saga the 'Cyberleek' incident.
