Weird Stuff Hackers Found Inside Video Game Code

Fortnite's Developers' Boobalicious Lie

Despite being a game where dozens of people fight until there's only one left dancing atop a pile corpses, Fortnite is somehow regarded as a kid-friendly game. But, a 2018 update made a few fans question that when it introduced Calamity, a Cowgirl character whose model featured some surprisingly realistic boob physics.

Some fans were quick to point out the strangeness of one female character being portrayed with such "realism" on the breast department, while others probably wanted the devs to make sure other female models got upgraded  -- for equality, we're sure. It didn't pan out, and the jiggly boob physics were quickly patched out. Epic games tried to shrug off the whole debacle as an embarrassing and "unintended" mistake, and while it's nice of a big company to not blame it on a single employee who "went rogue out of nowhere" for once, "unintended" seems like a stretch.

Making something that looks great in a game is not an easy task. So If a pair of boobs jiggle realistically in a game, that's because either a person, or a bunch of 'em worked hard (or at least semi-hard) to code them to move like that. To lay the non-mystery to rest, hackers data-mined the hell out of the pre-patched version of the game and found lines of code with names such as "Breast Physics", which developers probably typed in by accident. With their penises.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Fans Solve Its Greatest Mysteries

When not messing with its own developers with fun practical jokes like devastating overtime, Rockstar Games is famous for messing with players. In Red Dead Redemption 2 they teased everyone with the existence of a legendary catfish, sending us on an impossible quest to catch it until we were screaming, "-- from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee," at our TV. Is this another version of GTA: San Andreas' Bigfoot situation, where lots of players claimed for years to have seen the beast, but only had piss poor recordings to show as proof?

SpongeBob's Thirsty And Mr. Huggles Will Kill You And Your Parents

In the eyes of Internet memers, the cast of SpongeBob SquarePants is no less Internet royalty than America's royal family, the cast of Tiger King. Images such as Handsome Squidward have become a mainstay in the collective Netconscious. And if you think that's verging on too much, then you'll be glad no dank memer has gotten a hold of what we're about to throw at you, possible future memelord.

Thirsty players dig into depths of FFXV to find weird nudes

In the real world, Shiva is one of Hinduism's main deities. In the Final Fantasy series, however, Shiva is rebranded as a hot spirit waifu players can summon to get help in their quest for cyber arousal ... and for defeating monsters too ... we guess. Final Fantasy at some point features Shiva as a gigantic statue that players can only see from a distance and at a specific angle.

But players felt such a spiritual connection to the scantily clad deity that they started an out of bounds pilgrimage to find and worship her ... ass.

And yeah, they succeeded.

Half-Life 2 Featured Child Slaves

Half-Life 2 shows you the day-to-day lives of city17's inhabitants, a bunch of poor souls forced into curfew by a force of mysterious alien overlords called the Combine. Unfortunately the story rings a few bells, but here's hoping Half-Life 2's parallels with real-life stop there. Because, in the game, the curfew is followed by mass forced infertility that renders the world childless. It wasn't always like that though. It used to be even bleaker.

Hackers managed to look into old source code for the game, and found an entire area called the Combine Factories. This area is composed of unseen and ultra creepy facilities such as a crematorium, whose workforce is composed entirely of child slaves.

The children don't feature death animations, which comes as a relief until you notice that the combine would surely use the children's apparent immortality to create the first everlasting workforce.

Though they were to play only a background role in the game, the children models are chillingly realistic.

There's even concept art featuring children working in a desolate facility, in case making it prettier will help you feeling better.
