My friends, sometimes a small detail in a video game can reach across decades and franchises, sitting quietly in plain sight, waiting for someone to notice. And that's what a viewer by the name of MattSwizzle brought to my attention today...

Today, we look at a handful of Easter eggs and secrets from the N64 era, and one discovery that extends well beyond it. Ponder a strange connection between the Nintendo 64's James Bond universe and one of the most celebrated shooters of the modern era, a thread left unexamined for nearly eighteen years.

After that, we settle into a couple of bonus codes that, while perhaps known to a few, deserve a warmer spotlight than they have received. Diddy Kong Racing and NBA Courtside both carry a quiet charm in their secrets, and you know, I think they are worth revisiting together.

Thanks to my guy MattSwizzle for the Valentin discovery, and bringing it to my attention!
