Worf Voices the Super Mutant

Michael Dorn, best known for playing Worf, returns as the super mutant Marcus, a character he'd already voiced back in Fallout 2. It's a nice bit of continuity for long-time fans, bringing back the same actor for a character who'd been off-screen since the second game in the series.

Niko's Digital Footprint in Los Santos

Years later and hundreds of miles away, Niko's still floating around the GTA universe. If you look closely at Jimmy's laptop in GTA V, he's got Niko Bellic's LifeInvader profile pulled up, complete with Roman on his friends list. Jimmy also seems to be following Burger Shot on the page, which plays as a cheeky nod to how eating burgers was how you healed up back in Liberty City.

Here's Johnny

Rename a Vindicator 'Johnny' and it stops caring about teams entirely, turning hostile toward every other mob in the game except Ghasts and fellow illagers. It's a direct nod to Jack Nicholson's iconic 'Here's Johnny!' moment from The Shining, and once that name tag goes on there's no calming him back down.

Skyrim's Own Headless Horseman

A rare wandering NPC known as the Headless Horseman roams Skyrim's roads at night, a reference to Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. He's easy to miss since most players fast-travel rather than ride the roads, but following him leads to a decent reward.

The 'Lesser' Evils Aren't Actually One Family

Unlike Diablo, Mephisto and Baal, who consider themselves true brothers, the four Lesser Evils split into two separate pairs. Andariel and Duriel call each other twins, while Belial and Azmodan see themselves as siblings, and that lack of unity is a big part of why the Lesser Evils struggled to team up against the Three.

V.A.T.S. Was Inspired by Burnout

The Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System, V.A.T.S., reportedly took its slow-motion, cinematic inspiration from the Crash Mode replays in the racing game Burnout, just swapping crumpled cars for dismembered limbs.

The Wilderness Used to Be Somebody's Empire

Long before it was the lawless PvP zone everyone avoids, the land now called the Wilderness was actually the heart of Zaros's empire, a stretch of Forinthry that spread across huge parts of the map. It only became the wasteland it is today after Zamorak overthrew him and tore the whole region apart in the fighting that followed.

Sophie Turner Adopted Lady's Actor

When Sansa's direwolf Lady was put down in season one, it wasn't just a sad moment for viewers. Sophie Turner had grown so attached to the dog playing her, a Northern Inuit named Zunni, that once filming wrapped she found out Zunni was up for adoption and took her home for good.

Backyard Wrestling Is an Actual Confirmed Activity

Alongside more expected pastimes like basketball, mini golf, scuba diving and kayaking, footage has confirmed a genuinely odd one: backyard wrestling complete with WWE-style finishing moves, plus base jumping and stock car racing for anyone who wants a bit more adrenaline.

Walton Goggins Sat In The Chair For Five Hours A Day

Turning into the Ghoul wasn't a quick job, at least not at first. Walton Goggins originally spent up to five hours in makeup every single day to become the character, with prosthetics designer Jake Garber gradually whittling that process down over time as they both got more efficient at it.
