That Mario Galaxy one is actually 'chill your blood' creepy. That's on the same level as the suicide midget in the Wizard of Oz.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Cool list.

I didn't know about the Galaxy 2 thing. That's really odd.

I love lists like this.
I found the GlaDOS one particularly interesting, it seems to make a lot of sense.
The Braid one reminds me of an old Stargate episode.

Very interesting, I love this kind of stuff.

And screw you for linking Cracked, there goes any semblance of productivity for the next few hours...
