@Wolf Bird: Best thing about the Circus of Values vending machines is if you go up to one unable to afford anything and then back out of the screen, it shouts at you "Come back when you've got some money!!" in the same tone of voice. =p
Anyway, actual misfit moment-- I'm gonna spoiler this because the game actually came out this year.
[Reveal] Spoiler:
Wolfenstein: The New Order Early in Wolfenstein: The New Order, BJ Blazkowicz gets knocked into a coma in 1946, wakes up in 1960, and finds out the world's gone to hell because Germany won World War II in 1948 . To rectify this, you're gonna have to kill a lot of bad people.
Anyway, at one point, in Resistance Headquarters, there's a dingy mattress that you can sleep on. The action command to do so has the rather curious description of "Nightmare!" Obviously, this doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the cool things you get to do in your mission to save the world, so naturally you the player are gonna try it. You hold the respective action button down for a couple seconds, you go to sleep on this dirty, disgusting mattress which is pretty much finery for most of German-occupied Poland.
When you come to, you're in a prison cell. A dead guard lies between you and the door, but there's something off about the whole thing: The cell looks more colorful than Poland did, you can hear a familiar marching song somewhere in the background, and everything seems familiar-- swastika banners, Hitler photos, the furniture, the familiar hiding spot for an MP-40 machine gun... it's like you've been here before. Hell, all of the guards look exactly alike-- janky motion when they march towards you, exact same uniform to the detail. When you shoot them, they even collapse and die with the exact same motions. The bodies are always facing away from you, no matter what angle you look at them from...
In case you're wondering, you're having a World War II flashback... and the Second World War is the famous and familiar Episode 1 Mission 1 of Wolfenstein 3D, right down to the smallest 256-color bitmapped detail. (Unfortunately, all the pickups are New Order detailed pickups, and the guards use New Order voice samples because the "Achtung!!" and death screams from 1991 were really poor-quality. But it's a nice nostalgic trip back to when computer games were truly awesome.
