I never realized Tails' name was a play on words until now. But I never actually paid much attention to those details either while I was growing up. MINDBLOWN
If you replay the story knowing this it becomes fairly obvious. Harley Quinn very early on says something along the lines of ‘mister J you look amazing, oh, that’s not you is it’ at then if you deceptive mode in any confrontations with clayface joker. He has no skeleton
I always thought it was Miles "Tails" Power my entire life. Almost 25 years old and playing the game since i was 7 and i learned today that it is Prower. Woahhh
Second Sight is still the best twist I've ever experienced in a video game. It's also nearly unknown, so I actually have occasional opportunities to talk about it to people who don't know it.
I remember distinctly being floored while playing Tales of the Abyss when you find out that Van (the main protag’s mentor) is the main antagonist. Mind you, there were much bigger plot twists in the entire game, but this man had you blow up an entire city, and I still didn’t figure it out until they literally officially reveal it in game ;u;
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, when everything finally falls into place in the final chapter. So much foreshadowing, but due to the excellent storywriting (from the people behind Phoenix Wright) it's reveal is mindblowing. Honestly one of the most charming and underrated games for the Ninty DS.
I remember when I was back tracking through the mansion in Resident Evil 7 and I found the Grandma just hanging out underneath the house in a crawl space. She was still sitting in her wheel chair....
Rich to be fair, I've never made that connection on Miles 'Tails' Prower being a play on words for Miles per hour. Probably would have gone my whole life without knowing that piece of trivia so thank you. Mind blown
In response to Rach's entry, it's even worse that... (Spoilers ahead) Kaede was actually FRAMED by the mastermind, who seemingly had an airtight alibi during that case, but could still be found out early because of their Ultimate Talent (Since the mastermind in the previous games originally had a fashion-based talent and so does the third game's mastermind), their general behavior, and the trope in the main games of mysteriously escaping through a bathroom (Although the second game's potential iteration might not be a reference to that)
Atleast you figured out that "Miles Prower" bit on your own... I never did, someone explained it to me, and i was like "oooooooooooooooooooh i'm stupid as hell".
Great Stuff, I also recently found out about the meaning of Tails name. Don’t feel bad. There are definitely gaming moments that made me feel stupid. Those moments were puzzle games, such as Zelda when the answer was simply a practical solution, I don’t recall which one, but spending any longer than a minute on a Zelda puzzle when the answer is basic means that overthink is a thing, and it’s a bad thing.
To answer the question posed by the title: I was staring at the thumbnail for probably a full minute before I read the name aloud enough times for it to click. ".................OH, MY GOD."
The biggest video game revelation that made me feel stupid was the fact that there was actually a questline for umbra in elder scrolls oblivion (and apparently in morrowind too). I basically stumbled on it by accident, it was right outside the starting area of the game inside of a ruin named Vin Diesel. I mean how could I see that and not want to check it out. I thought maybe some Riddick or fast and furious easter egg but no I found umbra. I knew who it was because I had also happened to stumble across umbra back in morrowind. So, every playthrough in oblivion I would just go and grab umbra at level one and have the best sword in the game and a full set of ebony armor. It wasn't until last year though, that I found out umbra was part of a quest for one of the deadric princes (I think it was clavicus vile). I had just never really bothered finding all the shrines (got every achievement btw so they obviously weren't that important), so I had no idea that umbra was anything other than a really good sword and like I said, apparently there a quest to get it in morrowind too but to this day I've never found that. just found the guy wielding it while flying over a mountain to get to another town. Saw him down there in full ebony armor and I was like "Gee what a great set of armor that's mine now" and got umbra to boot.
Ash to 1-up on you about Bioshock Infinite cause its my favorite game and series of all time and its was in the Burial at Sea Part 2 DLC and when you find out that Elizabeth figured out and told Atlas about the trigger phase "Would You Kindly".... After that i literally had to stand up, walk out the room and told my playstation that i needed a minute to process that!
Also, Jules, talking about Second Sight, made by the people who WENT ON to make Timesplitters? Timesplitters 1 came out in 2000, and Timesplitters 2 came out in 2002. Second Sight came out in 2004.
@@gryphman It's actually like this in Japanese pronunciation: Miles Prower: マイルス・パーワー (Mairusu Paawaa) Miles per hour: マイルス・パー・アワー (mairusu paa awaa) The pun's no more or less obvious either way.
Mine is the revelation that in Dragon Age: Inquisition, (SPOILERS) Solas is the Dread Wolf. If you were paying attention, there were many clues looking at you in the face, but no, I was slapped right in the face with that revelation.
Always knew it was miles per hour, but I am old enough and was sad enough to read the inlay sleeve you got with the old mega drive games while I eagerly had to wait to be able to play it on the families only tv in the front room 😂
You know what happens when you pull back one of those springy wall-mounted door stops? My brain made that sound when the dual plot twists of BioShock hit, especially the Atlas/Fontaine revelation. Even by then I'd played video games long enough to never trust the first NPC I met in the game but I was so distracted by the ruined beauty of Rapture and the enormous personality of Andrew Ryan to be even a little suspicious.
A sleeper agent is what you're thinking of with Lucy, I think. Where they think they're a spy for one side, but they're actually a spy for the other and don't know it.
Deadly Premonition's last twist made me feel like a big ol' dummy. I pegged George as The Raincoat Killer, especially after I saw his license plate (HesThe1) and how Becky panicked when she saw realized you were a detective (cops and law enforcement freaked her out a bit too much), but Kayson? Nope. And the game pretty much screamed it at you. The opening Red Room sequence had you look at a map of the USA and had all of those Kayson dolls all over it. And "F...K...in the coffee". He was tied into so much; sleeping with Diane, who was waaaaay outta his league, being friends with the twins, and so much more.
Mine was Star Ocean: Till The End of Time Like Jules, the mid game twist didn't make me feel stupid for not seeing it coming, more I just never would have even considered it. It was my first experience with a game making me question practically everything that had happened in the story
I'm going with the second zero escape game, when you find out that sigma is actually his old self AND zero but you don't know about it because of the shifting. It was brilliant and when I replayed the game I noticed that there are some tiny clues. BTW Scott, I'm happy to hear you're playing kh3 but if you only played the first one no wonder you don't understand the story. The first game is the less important story wise. To get most of what's happening one have to play at least kh2, chain of memories and birth by sleep. You will still miss some plot points but nothing that you can't put together with a bit of logic.
Mine was completing final fantasy 9 and 10 without realising there's abilities and sphere grid. Doing 9 was fine but 10 took soooo long to finish..... Derp
I made it all the way to the final boss of 8 as a kid without using the junction system. Still to this day don't know how I did but after actually paying attention to the tutorial and doing it I felt sooooo dumb
Rich basically just taught me something. That being said, the only Sonic game I ever played was the first for the Sega Genesis. And even then, collectively I've only ever played it for less than two hours.
In the first AC series, you can see the emails shared between Lucy and her fellow Templars and Assassin's but you'd have to be pretty focused to notice something was off.
I thi k that's a major issue with the assassins creed games. If you're a completions everything makes perfect sense and it's a logical easy to follow story. If you're someone who only does the main story then you miss out on so many little details that set up the story of future games.
I also have no idea whats going on in kingdom hearts it's up there with metal gear solid and final fantasy in terms of having so much damn lore. bruh the Desmond killing Lucy baffled me for so long as a kid, that entire animus thing made me feel slow honestly.
Legacy of Kain Defiance: Raziel shares his soul with the Soul Reaver, that's why he was able to weild its spiritual form. And when he 'dies', gut wrenching moment. He's actually just become one with himself, as the Soul Reaver!
The end of black ops 3 campaign is to this day one of the smartest plot twists ever written by man and it flies straight over everyones head its so smart and subtle. pure genius
I'm suprised no one has mentioned Pokemon. How certain Pokemon evolve by trade. Like Ghost wasnt super effective against Psychic in Gen 1. Or Ice types only resist itself. List can go on tbh.
Mine would have to be... Final Fantasy XII. (12) When you figure out that Vayne Solidor is doing everything in the game to simply tell the gods to go F- themselves and that man will no longer be their puppets.
I’m honestly shocked nobody knew about Tails, when right before the title screen in sonic 2 it literally shows his name in quotes. But if you knew the name in quotes meant it was a nickname you should’ve caught on to it right away. It made me chuckle when I first seen it years ago lol
General Shepherd turning on you in Mw2... Biggest plot twist/shock of my life... And I caught my mum having an affair, to be fair I should have seen both coming.
15:30 She was a Templar Sleeper Cell. Basically it takes a codeword or a special event for her to turn from the Assassins to a Templar, you just make it sound like it makes no sense.
far cry 4 ending................ when Pagan Mei told me to recall his words and i realized that all those things i did for almost 10 hours were unnecessary and that made me felt stupid. (Yep it was plot twist and it was supposed to be that way but still.... Really..... I did all that when all i had to do was wait)
Resi 7, right when you first find Mia there’s a photograph of Gran with the virus written on the back. They tell you in the very beginning who and what she is, but you don’t know what any of it means until the second play through.
I'm like Josh in that I always get caught by plot twists, both in games and in movies. I'm just not one of those people who is always trying to get ahead of what I watch.
Josh, did you just MIB memory wipe your mind of the caves section? Or the boat flashback as Mia? Pretty sure its spelt out on screen in a note you could pick up None the less a fun list everyone. Thanks for the Friday cheer.
Finding out the shadow guy in Prince of Persia was actually you was pretty cool. Especially how they approached you doing things to help you past self.
I was today years old when I learned about Tails' name.
Same here
That is not a way to say that thing.
I don't understand how so many people didn't know. I mean, it's literally in the game.
Me to 🙈🙈🙈
Omg my revelation of the day, thank you 😂😂😂
I never realized Tails' name was a play on words until now. But I never actually paid much attention to those details either while I was growing up. MINDBLOWN
Yeah see we aren’t the only ones
Rich mate...I did not know that.....(*whispers*) - mind blown
my exact sentiment
Batman:Arkham City. I really thought that Joker was cured until it was revealed that it was Clayface.
Ah I remember that, got me good
If you replay the story knowing this it becomes fairly obvious. Harley Quinn very early on says something along the lines of ‘mister J you look amazing, oh, that’s not you is it’ at then if you deceptive mode in any confrontations with clayface joker. He has no skeleton
I was today years old when I realized that Tails name was a play on words for Miles Per Hour 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
I always thought it was Miles "Tails" Power my entire life. Almost 25 years old and playing the game since i was 7 and i learned today that it is Prower. Woahhh
Don't feel bad Rich, I didn't know that about Tails either...
0:58 you play as a grill. 😂
Second Sight is still the best twist I've ever experienced in a video game. It's also nearly unknown, so I actually have occasional opportunities to talk about it to people who don't know it.
Good to hear Rach likes Danganronpa! It's one of my favorite series of all time. I'm a massive fan
When Danganronpa FINALLY gets talked about!
The only game revelation that made me feel stupid was Batman Arkham Knight. I heard he was a new villain and ran with it... it was so obvious 🤦🏾♂️
I habe no intention on playing it so.who.was the villain
@@angelganon8213 Jason Todd, the second Robin.
I know right lol anyone who has read the comics knew right out the gate who he was lol still good game though
I remember distinctly being floored while playing Tales of the Abyss when you find out that Van (the main protag’s mentor) is the main antagonist.
Mind you, there were much bigger plot twists in the entire game, but this man had you blow up an entire city, and I still didn’t figure it out until they literally officially reveal it in game ;u;
"No, my grill!" Lmao yes I love it
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, when everything finally falls into place in the final chapter. So much foreshadowing, but due to the excellent storywriting (from the people behind Phoenix Wright) it's reveal is mindblowing.
Honestly one of the most charming and underrated games for the Ninty DS.
I remember when I was back tracking through the mansion in Resident Evil 7 and I found the Grandma just hanging out underneath the house in a crawl space. She was still sitting in her wheel chair....

In response to Rach's entry, it's even worse that... (Spoilers ahead)
Kaede was actually FRAMED by the mastermind, who seemingly had an airtight alibi during that case, but could still be found out early because of their Ultimate Talent (Since the mastermind in the previous games originally had a fashion-based talent and so does the third game's mastermind), their general behavior, and the trope in the main games of mysteriously escaping through a bathroom (Although the second game's potential iteration might not be a reference to that)
Atleast you figured out that "Miles Prower" bit on your own... I never did, someone explained it to me, and i was like "oooooooooooooooooooh i'm stupid as hell".
That Tails fact just blew my mind.
Don't feel bad Rich... I was today years old when I had that same revelation... Thank you for enlightening me.
Great Stuff, I also recently found out about the meaning of Tails name. Don’t feel bad.
There are definitely gaming moments that made me feel stupid. Those moments were puzzle games, such as Zelda when the answer was simply a practical solution, I don’t recall which one, but spending any longer than a minute on a Zelda puzzle when the answer is basic means that overthink is a thing, and it’s a bad thing.

XD I was laughing the whole time he was talking about Tails' name. The intro makes sense now.
The Tails gag is even more obvious if you think about how a Japanese person would say his name. Prower would be pronounced "Pu Row Ah."
@@gryphman It's actually like this in Japanese pronunciation:
Miles Prower: マイルス・パーワー (Mairusu Paawaa)
Miles per hour: マイルス・パー・アワー (mairusu paa awaa)
The pun's no more or less obvious either way.
Mine is the revelation that in Dragon Age: Inquisition, (SPOILERS) Solas is the Dread Wolf. If you were paying attention, there were many clues looking at you in the face, but no, I was slapped right in the face with that revelation.
I was spoiled with it by choice in a way. But it makes his romance more tragic.
I like how you said spoilers, but you didn't give the game you were spoiling before the warning, which almost makes it useless. Nice try tho.
@@trexxis812 What do you mean by "nice try"?
He said it before the name, because once you know who he's talking about it's already kind of spoiled for you. So yeah, he did it right.
@@snootycapybara3683 Thank you, for not being an idiot.
My biggest moment is when I saw the MGS2 final codec call before the credits become real fucking life
Miles Prower… Miles Per Hour…😮😮😮 Been playing that game since 1992… here it is 2023 and I’ve never caught that.
Always knew it was miles per hour, but I am old enough and was sad enough to read the inlay sleeve you got with the old mega drive games while I eagerly had to wait to be able to play it on the families only tv in the front room 😂
Don't feel bad, Rich. I didn't get that until it was pointed out in the Tails vs. Luigi Death Battle. I didn't even see it on my own.
Rach is so adorable. I just adore her enthusiasm and obvious love of games. Seeing her in a video always makes me happy. :)

The miles per hour thing was also a recent revelation for me too, bud.
Ash description of BioShock Infinite
is so bad that it's funny
Dont worry Rich, today was the day I learned about tails' name.
The ending of spec ops the line that was a serious mindf***
Ya but man that one has no way of you knowing until the end really. They story is very airtight and nice. Based on a book.
Deadly Premonition's last twist made me feel like a big ol' dummy.

You're not alone Rich, I'm 28 and before this video I had never made that connection.
Second Sight!!! Oh man I forgot about that game! I loved making things move when guards were around and they freaked out thinking it was a ghost.
Mine was Star Ocean: Till The End of Time

The most exciting part of this video for me was probably the Cancer Bats T-Shirt. Not that it was a bad video, but Cancer Bats is fucking awesome.
I did not know that about Tails Rich Hutson. I'm 32.
Kingdom Hearts 3 made me more confused than the Gamestop employee with the Ma'am person
the twist for Braid was quite good
I probably should've known about who Revan was in KOTOR. Loved that twist. Be well ☕
Blew my teenage mind, that did. Never saw it coming.
No KOTOR? That Revan reveal was wild!
....I never realized that about Tails' name like legit

Nice Taggart reference, Rach. :-)
Miles Prowler... Miles per hour... I feel stupid too Rich lol

Rime was a game that threw me off guard, I was sad the rest of the day after I finished played it
as literally a genesis baby... the tails revelation just stunned me lol. i... i feel... so stupid
The assassins creed thing with Lucy being killed drove me nuts. Hated that.
That kratos son was Loki when it was in my face the whole dam time
the miles name thing blew my freaking mind.
KotOR, finding out you were Revan. There were some obvious clues but I missed them and was shocked that you were this big baddie!

I sympathise with Scott on Kingdom Hearts.
Not sure if it was from the cartoon back in the 90s or the game but I knew about tails for a while now
15:30 She was a Templar Sleeper Cell. Basically it takes a codeword or a special event for her to turn from the Assassins to a Templar, you just make it sound like it makes no sense.
Now we got to make Scott play Dragon Grandpa
Tails was a huge revelation for me too! You’re not alone 😂😂😂
Mine would be Zero Escape: VLR. Not gonna spoil anything, but my first time playing, I must have missed every single sign for all the twists.
