Wow, that's some pretty obscure content for a front page yahoo story.

I still think Sonic looks like he's giving the finger in sonic 3.

Banjo Kazooie is packed full of 'em. They might have gone over a lot of Americans heads but there's quite apparant to us. For example Mumbo says "OO Ma Naka" A 'knacker' is a term for term for testicles in the UK. So somebody who says "ooh, my knackers" is exclaiming that his testicles hurt. So every time Mumbo transforms Banjo he's actually complaining about testicular pain.

There's a Game Grumps episode with Grant Kirkhope and he goes into a lot of the inside jokes contained within the games he worked on on the N64. It's a very good episode. Plus Grant is just a legend in general.

You'll have to search on youtube yourself. I'm at work and youtube is blocked. Game Grumps Grant Kirkhope should get you the right video. You'll know it's the right video because it has Grant Kirkhope in it.

Having played this on the PS2, I'm diving into Psychonauts again on the Xbox. Loving the strangeness "Tim Burton" look in the game. Anyways, in the Milkman level you pass by Spys disguised as Sewer workers. One makes a comment about a babe with big breasts. Funny since its a Spy trying to hide in his disguise portraying a stereotype in construction workers.
