What's the Ocarina of Time one all about?

Christmas Nights did some stuff on certain non-December days.  Halloween for example.  I think.  Clearly not unanticipated by Sonic Team, given that they coded the pumpkin heads or whatever, but I don't think there will be many other examples if we just stick to unplanned oddities.  The infamous Donkey Kong kill screen perhaps.

MGS3? The End. Does that count? Although I think that's more to do with non-game time.

It was just a part of the game. Really good stuff. Love Kojima and his weird shit. Can't remember if MGS 4 had anything like that.

Back in the times of 8 bit computers, leaving a game on pause for more than 5 minutes or so was always a gamble. It would sometimes just freeze and you'd have to spend 15 minutes reloading it.

To get the 1 Week Survivor achievement in Dead Rising I had to leave my 360 on for like 24 hours+, as you needed to rack up something like 14 hours consecutive play time in a game mode that doesn't let you save to get the achievement. You can pause the game, but obviously that stops the timer. I had to leave the machine on overnight when I got tired. I was bricking it the next morning, expecting to wake up and find it had RROD'd during the night.

@Roujin: I did something similar with Senko no Ronde. You had to clock up a lot of hours of play to get an achievement. I didn't get it by the time I got bored of the game, so I resorted to keeping it on while I was at work.

That's more an easter egg than weird shit like the codec call telling you to have a break. The Sol gun was the only thing remotely insane about the game not counting the triple shark jumping plot.

Love that fourth wall breaking stuff. It is one of the few things in games that hasn't been used to cliche point.

4 is mostly awful though.

I've been playing 4 as a shooter, fuck stealth.

theres loads of hidden and funny coecs in mgs4.

It's clear i've forgotten a few of them due to my vitriol of the game and the fact I last played it years ago, but they're all fucking shit nor that fun to listen to. In MGS 3, you had unique radio chit-chat with SIGINT for practically each and every weapon in the game if you had it equipped. I fucking loved that detail.

The conversations with Paramedic about Japanese cinema then having interjections from Zero about his love of James Bond are some of my favourite aside moments in Snake Eater. Yes you get silly conversations from Rose and Otacon in MGS 4 but it feels exceptionally laboured and shit.

Like they just thought "HO YEAH this would be a good time for a funny codec call." Fuck off Konami and let Kojima breathe.

MGS 4 is arbitrary nonsense and Rose is an annoying slag.

hahahaha, 
one of the family line had to come good eventually.  

oh and agree with previous opinion too, mgs4 is the bollox.

Just some celebration of MGS 3 radio chit-chat going on.

I guess you meant MGS 3. And yes, it is. I've yet to play the HD collection to my shame. How does Peace Walker and Portable Ops play in relation to the others?

i did indeed.
not tried portable ops but peace walker is amazingly good.
might get portable ops and peace walker psp for vita.

hd collection is great and everyone should own it.

I'm sure I've left my 360 on for an achievement in something but I can't remember what it was.
