[Gruntness5]

[thecooldude9999]

It's linux there are several Linux command and you can dial up to dreamland or login as other users

[SinSlayne]

I wouldn't even respond to these trolls and haters.

[Kael522vids]

U can do the same thing on PS3!

[595o]

I wonder if there's also the game "Bureaucracy".

[Qb0b7982]

[DynamiteKiwi]

[oj43085]

those commands are unix =)

[TheDeathCrawler]

@sharingan1995 stop putting xD in what you type you fucking faggot. That shit is stupid grow the fuck up shit dick

[streetsk8ter80]

the files that end in .snd plays music

[Drewsph100]

You can hold in the space bar.

[SharinganSX1995]

Ok dude, your not telling me you find this out on your own, you looked it up just as everyone else xD.... don't talk in your vid like you discovered it all by yourself

[phreakindee]

@SharinganSX1995 You are correct, I am not telling you I found this out on my own. I said "this is something completely awesome that I discovered" and that can be taken how you did, or that I discovered that you can access those games. Did I say I found it all by myself? Nope. Discovery takes place in all sorts of ways, including seeing a blog post about it and trying it myself. I guess you'd have wanted me to say "I discovered that this is something you can do"

[SharinganSX1995]

@phreakindee Yea well, i just tought it sounded like you said you found out about this, like you were the source of this and i had this tought of.... NO WAY xD but anyway what you said in your reply is correct but i like the video though, don't see me as a hater now ;)

[Mr534Ice]

@SharinganSX1995 fagot

[rednight2476]

[nwing2008]

*subscribes*

[MagikGimp]

Crazy awesomeness, mind blown

[HardWarUK]

@phreakindee, getting breathless over the geekiness is now called a "gamegasm" - which is used when open and old game box you own and getting misty eyed over the huge manual and poster or whatever, or in your case, going back over 20 years in your gaming history! :)

I say this has someone who own the Infocom Collection, that has all 30 infocom adventures with the manuals, extras and hint books! It was released about a decade ago and I snapped it up! :) I also have big box Suspended and Deadline

[phreakindee]

@HardWarUK Gamegasm certain applies as a term for this. What's the term for intense jealousy of your complete Infocom Collection? Very nice, been looking out for those collections the company released. I only have Zork in the box.

[HardWarUK]

@phreakindee I believe there is a version where the manuals and hint books are just pdf's that can be bought quite cheap on ebay, amazon, etc. And to add to your pain, I also have the full box Sherlock Holmes adventure and still have the key fob that came it in my pocket, a decade old and still perfect condition. You didn't get rubbish from Infocom....!!!!

[isorSOT]

@HardWarUK wtf?!

[DIGFOOL]

thumbs up if the music at 7:55 scared the shit out of you. >.<

[DreamTheater911]

@DIGFOOL fuck yer

[DreamTheater911]

@DIGFOOL fuck yes. It scared me too.. hahah :P

[DIGFOOL]

@DreamTheater911 oh, I thought you said "fuck you" never mind.

[Flalaski]

did you ever play MUD? or MUD2? (Multi User Dungeon)

[phreakindee]

@Flalaski Don't think so, though I've some text-based multi-user "door games" like Legend of the Red Dragon / Green Dragon... but from what I understand those are a bit different? In any case, I love me some interactive fiction.

[Rudyauto]

That is freakin cool. I recently beat the damn game and didnt know you could do that!

[robertsd247]

LGR...hit up google and type in "man" and one of those commands. For example, the "cat" displays the contents of a file. So when you did a "cat" and one of those .snd files, it played the sounds. You can also cat those .txt file you saw. It looks like a cross between DOS/Unix.

Also try, "df -h", "ifconfig", "route", "cd /etc" and then do a "dir" or "ls" just to see.

[Darkfire889]

i love how you got so into the computer

[kidsuper123]

American zombies at the Pentagon :D

[xananadu]

dude is this real? lmao on pc version too? thats awesome man, thanks lgr

[Hergonan]

Sup dawg, we heard you liked games so we put 2 games in your game

[ViktorBluhme]

Press SPACE a lot of times on PC

[phreakindee]

@MrKaelstrom 60 bucks is a small price to pay for Infocom goodness on a modern machine, haha! Now where's my Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Planetfall... in CoD: Even Moderner Warfare, perhaps?

[2301bigbubba]

ps3movies(dot)ign.com/ps3/text­/article/108/1081856/README(do­t)txt

not trying to spam or anything just cant place direct urls

[niceandgames]

Oh man, thanks for showing this! What cool easter eggs! I used to play Zork way back when on my Atari 800XL, until the disk crapped out for who knows why. I find it hilarious and awesome that it is in Black Ops. lol

[phreakindee]

@niceandgames Hehe, it is hilarious indeed. As you can tell in the video I was totally geeking out over this. I mean, it's sad since I own a boxed original of Zork, but this is just rad. Totally worth the cost of admission.

[Jontman42]

Still seriously that is making it even harder for me to resist spending another 60€ on a CoD game... Gah I think I'll have to get it >_<

[Jontman42]

Could all the text files and things be some background story about the zombie mod? Or even the title screen, why exactly are you sitting there.. And what if the creepy guy is a zombie? And you would be the the only survivor of the whatever-facility you are in because you were chained there? What if there's a whole game hidden in the title screen like that? o_o So many questions... Or I just have a wild imagination.

[4chanisfunny]

@Jontman42 SPOILER

That man is Hudson, your CIA handler. He is trying to extract information from you because you shot Steiner. bad guys going to release NOVA gas on the US, gas that kills people before they hit the ground. You have the ability to decode the numbers, which hold the location of the site where they will launch the gas.

The txt files are easter eggs and such basically giving background story. Also logging in as presidents nets you information - JFK gets a message with a "or else

[KrazyKupo]

A game with Zork in it and also the chance to play as Kennedy during a zombie invasion. This game calls to me.

[Thizz18N]

My computer sounds like it's farting and gargling little metal pieces. Yaay

[nephildevil]

mini emulated *nix system with ZORK in there :o thats an amazing easter egg!

[tombert256]

COD Black Ops would be even more rad if you could do IPX gaming to other computers.

[Saxonation]

I came in here thinking "This isn't like LGR to review something others are already covering" but then I got to the system part and my mind was blown. Thank you man

[adamzwakk]

You can press Spacebar in the PC version too to get out of the chair.

[vwestlife]

Beware of the grue!

[TheNews1990]

kinda like "i made a game with zombies in it"

[tecno40]

i think you're exposed to guess who wrote the letters

[tecno40]

you're having too much fun with that

[phreakindee]

@tecno40 Undoubtedly :)

[Bradowns12]

@phreakindee go to gamespot.com

[commodore256]

Awesome!

[Bikeman1010]

Plugged in my Unicomp clicky USB keyboard, just like the old days ahhhh ; )

[Bikeman1010]

Just plugged in my Unicomp clicky keyboard, just like the old days ; )

[Bikeman1010]

Works in XBOX just plug in a USB keyboard!

[Joeyboots80]

Are these easter eggs in the Wii version as well?

[WalkAroundDude]

Try deleting the harddrive!

[newR4Zi3L]

I will buy CODBO to play ZORK ! :D

[cjgreenwood]

Some of the files said "redacted".

Try decoding them???

[cjgreenwood]

This is so fucking COOL!!!

[Bikeman1010]

Yea Unix shell! Or at least the $ sign is from Unix.  I'm on my Macbook and just to double check I opened terminal and surely enough there is the $ sign. Weird how in the game though is runs just like dos (which I know and prefer BTW) Great Easter egg!!

[Robloxian182]

@dennisnedry graphics dont matter, as long as you can tell whats from what XD

[shaurz]

Looks more like a Unix shell.

[n4ndude]

OMG. It's just awesome. Thanks for the review

[Murdock13]

Nice Easter Egg review, thanks. :)  So glad I subbed.

[taragwendolyn]

Not sure if that's DOS... the prompt was $, which I don't remember ever from DOS... I do remember from *nix though. :) That may also explain why you had to log in, on the screen (well, was done for you), and why rlogin was available... all *nix things. Worth seeing if "ls" works in place of "dir" :)

Reminds me of the pearl of bashing from NWN: Hordes of the Underdark, lol. I fell out of my chair laughing at that one. :)

[phreakindee]

@taragwendolyn Yup, it's got some *nix stuff in there for sure. I was trying to think of what it looked like but hey, I know DOS and CP/M so I see some DOS and CP/M. Funny how that works. It's an interesting mashup, I'm just happy to see something like this in such a high-profile modern game.

[kickflipjr]

cool easter eggs!

[uzimonkey]

Who would have thought they'd release Zork for the PS3. Does the "put bag in bag" trick work? How about putting things in the boat, then deflating the boat? I think Zork was the first game I really glitched in order to beat.

[FloppyFormatFrenzy]

I don't know what it is, but the idea of using a computer within a game is neat. I remember playing VTMB, and it had a console that was specific to doing things in the game. Looking at this game compared to VTMB, I would have to say that VTMB's console was very shallow, purposefully, and there's a lot of easter egg opportunities by having a disk operating system full of hidden information within files, and the only requirement is having to know how to use DOS or Unix.

[FloppyFormatFrenzy]

@FloppyFormatFrenzy The only thing I wonder is if they implemented all of the commands internally or if they're piping the commands from the hard disk which may mean that everything is accessible from within the game's directory; most likely than not, it's simply compiled apart of the main game.

[X3CuT1oNR]

I loved DeadOps Arcade....ZombieTV!

[extralargetuna]

yes third view, i get here early for some reason.
