Gilligan's Original Pitch Was "Mr. Chips Into Scarface"
When Vince Gilligan was shopping the idea around, he summed up the entire concept in one line: a mild-mannered chemistry teacher turning into Scarface. Somehow that tiny pitch became one of the most acclaimed shows of the century.
Martinet's Second Role
Not content with one cameo, Charles Martinet also voices Mario and Luigi's dad in the film. It's a much more disguised performance than his Giuseppe cameo, so most people miss it completely on their first watch.
Built Across Six Studios at Once
Just how big a production was Revelations? Big enough that Ubisoft had six different studios working on it simultaneously, a scale that dwarfed anything the series had attempted before it.
There's a Secret Crypt Nobody Sends You To
South of the Derelict Manor waypoint in Ashwold Cemetery, there's a cracked stone wall that looks like nothing until you get close and see a prompt to 'Enter Hidden Crypt.' It's not tied to any quest, it's just a fully unmarked mini-dungeon with elite enemies guarding a loot chest for anyone curious enough to poke at the scenery.
The Heart of Liberty City
There's a hidden chamber inside the Statue of Happiness that most players never find, and honestly it's not exactly signposted - there's literally a sign at the base that says 'No Hidden Content This Way,' which is Rockstar being cheeky. Steal a helicopter, land on the upper platform of the pedestal, and climb a ladder up through the statue's body. What's waiting for you is a huge, slowly beating heart wrapped in chains. Nobody's ever officially explained what it's supposed to mean, it's just there for the people determined enough to go looking.

That quiet, chilling shot of Coulson finding Mjolnir in the New Mexico crater wasn't shot specifically for Iron Man 2 at all, it was actually filmed on the set of Thor and directed by Kenneth Branagh, not Jon Favreau.
A Million Copies in Ten Weeks
Drake's Fortune sold over a million copies within just ten weeks of hitting shelves, quickly earning it a place in the European Platinum Range of best-selling titles and proving Naughty Dog's gamble on a brand new IP had paid off.
The Vault 75 UFO Crash
Head to Vault 75 and you can trigger one of the game's hidden UFO encounters, complete with an alien crash site to fight through. Win the scrap and you'll walk away with an alien blaster pistol, easily one of the most satisfying secret weapons to stumble across in the Commonwealth.
