In Japan, blood type is akin to astrology. It's a disproved science, but it still suggests temperament. If I remember correctly, O suggests a jerk/loner type.

You get 10 praise in Okami for blooming a dead patch in Agata Forest, inside the tree on the hill with the cave that leads to Shinshu Field

This is the only Praise in the game that doesn't have an animation showing you getting the Praise bubbles

Civ's Ghandi was an aggressive dick by mistake. Aggression levels are coded to be between 0 and 255, and India would sometimes be given a 0. Ghandi was programmed to be -1 from whatever the game set to him because pacifism or something, which rolled over into aggression level 255.

Then it reached meme status and the programmers have indulged it since

Genocide/Cyber City was meant to be a one-act zone after Metropolis Zone in Sonic 2. The level map and music track were completed, but the art assets weren't, so the zone was scrapped. The level map was retooled to use Metropolis Zone's assets and became Metropolis Act 3, while the music was used for Casino Night in 2-player mode. The WIP art assets were later incorporated in the design of the Sonic Spinball level The Machine.

In Pokmon Rumble Blast Pichu deals more damage than other electric Pokmon of similar level, including it's evolutions.

In Borderlands 3, Go to the skills page in your menu, press the button to switch to your inventory, pause before it can load the inventory. The little Echo protection of your character should still be floating in front of you (only tested on PS4). You can spawn multiple of these and they keep the guns/skin/head they had when you spawned them. Moze can make mini Iron Bears by pausing while going from inventory to skills, but only while in the real Iron Bear. Unfortunately, only the person who spawned the projections can see them.

Not quite. It was originally set to one, and a certain event would cause it to reduce by two. That's what caused it to roll over back to 255

There is also an unused Magicka Potion item with a similarly styled unique model and texture also with no use, value, or weight but as far as I am aware it isnt actually located anywhere in-game except the testing hall. I theorize that they were planned to be fillable at the Blood Fountains and Magicka Fountains found in Oblivion gates to take those effects with you, but there are no unused scripts or notes to indicate this.

Development on Splinter Cell Conviction was almost entirely devoted to figuring out how to get the player character to organically interact with items. That is, without preset animations, magically teleporting items, or needing to cancel the animation of whatever else you might be doing.

By the time it was figured out, the new direction of the series was so poorly received (it was shaping up to be a modern-day AssCreed) that they just scrapped most of the assets.

I have to wonder if they put that new tech in AssCreed from then on.

Halo was an incredibly popular gaming franchise with several tie-in novels.

But having a tie-in novels doesn't mean your game will be important or remembered. As shown by the novel Brute Force: Betrayals for forgotten hyped Xbox exclusive Brute Force.

The Fire Temple from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time used to have a theme that had Muslim chanting in it:

https://youtu.be/5blHw6C4Ax4

But then in later copies of OoT they altered the song to remove the chanting:

https://youtu.be/dZSi6FdBnlQ

Only the earliest N64 cartridges of OoT have the muslim chanting in it. Later runs of OoT cartridges, and any port of OoT, from the GC one onward, have had the non-chanting version of the Fire Temple theme.

Why Nintendo changed it? From what I gather it's simply because it clashed with some "no religion" policy they had or still have I would guess, and I guess Nintendo didn't realize the chanting was actual Muslim chanting when they originally added it to the Fire Temple (The chanting was from an open sound library and not composed by Nintendo themselves, which is why they didn't know before using it).

Yeah I remember when the shelf labels for PS1 games at the major retailers used to say PSX. Afterall, at the time it was just "Playstation." There were no 2, 3, 4 to differentiate it from. First time I remember anyone swapping over to "PS1" was with after the release of the PS2, with the release of the PS One, which was more or less the slim version if you will. I think it also had an attachable screen but I might be misremembering.

Of course they later reused the PSX acronym for a separate device, so it confuses a lot of people in hindsight so I stick with PS1.
