The Daedric quest 'A Night to Remember' has the Dragonborn wake up after a blackout night with the Daedric Prince Sanguine, then retrace their steps across Skyrim to fix the chaos they caused, mirroring the plot of the 2009 comedy The Hangover beat for beat.
Numbani's payload didn't always go to a museum for mystery cargo — it used to be the Doomfist gauntlet itself, headed to an exhibit dedicated to the three men who'd worn it over the years. The cargo got swapped out later, likely because the gauntlet ended up back in the hands of the third Doomfist, Akande Ogundimu.
Dragonwilds wasn't thrown together to chase the survival-crafting trend overnight. According to a Jagex developer answering community questions on Discord, work on the game actually began in 2022, years before players ever heard about it.
Almost everything on screen that isn't CGI, from weapons to prosthetics to miniature sets, came out of Weta Workshop. It was a level of practical craftsmanship film hadn't really attempted at that scale before, and it changed how fantasy movies got made afterward.
The 30 audio logs scattered around Mombasa Streets weren't just an in-game collectible. Studio Fourth Wall built Sadie's Story as a companion alternate reality experience on Bungie.net, complete with the same illustrated slideshows, so fans could follow Sadie's side of the invasion outside the game entirely.

Near Braithwaite Manor there's a chained-shut outhouse that's easy to walk straight past. Get close enough and you'll hear a woman inside muttering gibberish to herself. Switch to first-person and peer through the gaps and she might just lunge at you. The game never tells you what, exactly, she is.
The name of the Flood's central intelligence wasn't lifted from any existing mythology, it was coined by Bungie staff writer Jaime Griesemer specifically for the character. The Gravemind is voiced throughout the trilogy by actor Dee Bradley Baker, known for his extensive voice work across animation and games.
While he was still playing Walter White on Breaking Bad, Bryan Cranston actually auditioned for the role of Jerry Smith. He lost out to Chris Parnell, which honestly feels like the universe course-correcting, because it's very hard to imagine Heisenberg's voice coming out of Rick and Morty's most useless dad.
The AC/DC track blasting as Tony makes his grand entrance at the Stark Expo is 'Shoot to Thrill,' and Marvel brought it back two years later for the moment Tony faces off with Loki in his tower during The Avengers.
