History NoodleIncident / Videogames

*** Drack's own exploits, such as killing no less than ''three'' Spectres during the Krogan Rebellions (whether separately or all at once goes unsaid), the loss of Kesh's grandmother, and the time he killed a Thresher Maw with his bare hands. In the later case, he does start recounting it... only for Peebee and Vetra to insist he skip to "the good part", namely the bit where he just says "and then I killed it with my bare hands". Please recall that the average Thresher Maw is larger than a building and immune to tank fire.

* ''VideoGame/{{Arknights}}'' has the Flame Demon Incident, which revolved around [[PlayingWithFire Ifrit]] and also heavily involved [[CombatMedic Silence]], but aside from that fact, that it took place in Rhine Lab and that it caused Saria to defect and stirred Silence to bring Ifrit to Rhodes Island, nothing much is known. Ifrit herself doesn't offer much of a starting point and her perspective doesn't really help, and Silence has been especially tight-lipped about it.
** There are many cases of vague events that are alluded in the Operators' profile as a part of the game's world-building; things like the implications that Siege is Victoria's heir-in-hiding, Mostima's disgrace that turned her into a fallen Sankta, Nightingale's captivity and her rescue by Shining and Nearl, the entire 'Kazdel matter', and the incident in Andreana's childhood that turned her superhuman like the Abyssal Hunters. This is done likely [[ResolvedNoodleIncident to give story fodders for events]], as one of the NoodleIncident -- the Ursus Self-Governing Students' flight from Chernobog, is later told in "Children of Ursus" event. When Istina says that it's better [[YouDoNotWantToKnow if the Doctor doesn't know]], [[HarmfulToMinors boy, she's completely serious]].

* Beirut in ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty 4: VideoGame/ModernWarfare''. This may have to do with Soviet special forces operation in Beirut in October 1985, but all the player as Soap hears about it is:
--> '''Kamarov:''' Hm... I guess I owe you one.\\
'''Gaz:''' Bloody right you do.
** Funnily enough, this comes up again in ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyModernWarfare2019'', during TheStinger. [[spoiler:When Kamarov shows up to brief Price on Al-Asad, he first hands him a pack of cigars, saying "I owed you... for Beirut."]]

* When we first meet Tiny Tina in ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'' (mission: A Train to Catch):
--> '''Tina:''' So Roland told me you were comin'... I still owe him for all that buttcrap with General Rancid.
* In the "Claptastic Voyage" DLC for ''VideoGame/BorderlandsThePreSequel'', you discover that Claptrap has -- at some point -- burned down a church. The dialogue afterwards reveals that no less than ''four'' of Claptrap's fellow Vault Hunters have, in unexplained circumstances, done the same.

:: : The only exception is Wilhelm, which might at first seem odd since he has no morals whatsoever and [[OnlyInItForTheMoney only cares about getting paid]], but that's actually why it makes sense for him to be the exception. Money is his sole motivation to do ''anything'', so if nobody has paid him to burn down a church, then he won't.
* Zane of ''VideoGame/Borderlands3'', given that he's had a long career in the mercenary game, is basically a walking ''archive'' of these. And with the way he words it, there's a distinct possibility that some of these have happened to him on ''multiple'' occasions. To wit:
** He once killed a man for some Hyperion brand underwear.
** His record for dropkicking a human brain is twenty one meters.
** He used to take jobs from dinosaurs (but stopped after the last one's check bounced).
** Some of his best nights started with a decapitated head.
** A room full of dead smugglers reminds him of his first piano recital.
** He's punched statues in the crotch before.
** He got stuck to a rocket once.
** He's been stabbed with a cactus.
** He apparently shot down a moon once.

** The "great accident" that is mentioned in every other character profile in ''GX''. All that's known is that Pico played some major role in it, and it was apparently such a nasty event that the F-Zero Grand Prix was shut down for several years because of it. Given that the race routinely involves racers dying in crashes without comment, one has to wonder what the scope of this incident was...

--> '''Beard''': I haven't felt this way since San Francisco...

* ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda:''
** Some of Cora's missions as a huntress, such as the time she saw an asari kill a krogan warlord with a pack of playing cards. "Choking hazard, apparently", Cora says.
** Drack's own exploits, such as killing no less than ''three'' Spectres during the Krogan Rebellions (whether separately or all at once goes unsaid), the loss of Kesh's grandmother, and the time he killed a Thresher Maw with his bare hands. In the later case, he does start recounting it... only for Peebee and Vetra to insist he skip to "the good part", namely the bit where he just says "and then I killed it with my bare hands". Please recall that the average Thresher Maw is larger than a building and immune to tank fire.

* ''VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar'': The description for the "Pocket Watch" Thing mentions that it's been used to try to prevent "that unfortunate chowder incident" from having happened, but without success.
-->''While this thing can theoretically manipulate time, every effort to use it to go back and avert that unfortunate chowder incident has failed.''

* ''[[VideoGame/ShadowrunReturns Shadowrun Hong Kong]]'': Poetry slams are forbidden on the Shadowlands message board after an incident only known as "the Laughing Man debacle of '55". Apart from the implication that Harlequin was involved ("Laughing Man" is one of Harlequin's more well-known aliases), nothing is known. Granted, Harlequin is ''exactly'' the type of character who would do something to get poetry banned from an online forum either as part of something bigger or just for the lulz, but still...
* ''{{VideoGame/Octodad}} Dadliest Catch'': Near the beginning of the "Silent, but Dadly" level [[note]]after escaping the break room but before going into the main area of the aquarium[[/note]], you can overhear this bit of dialogue from two marine biologists.

** We never find out exactly what Mitsuru's "executions" in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' entail; all we know is that Akihiko gets '''[[HeroicBSOD very]]''' [[HeroicBSOD uncomfortable]] whenever the subject comes up and [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain refuses to say anything about it]]. It's become a bit of a RunningGag, to the point where her title in ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena'' is "The Imperious Queen of Executions". {{Fanon}} tends to depict it as something... kinky in nature.\\\

* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'':

* In the American Spanish localization of ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon}}'', Callie mentions that Marie somehow got them both banned from eating at Mahi-Mahi Resort.

** Several incidents in AllThereInTheManual don't give any detail except for the most basic. The formation of the Underground society only explains that the Ministry of Right and Wrong lacked budget to maintain that Hell, but never elaborate other than few throwaway lines of connection between Yamaxanadu with the Komeiji family. The reason why the Four Deva disbanded and the Oni left the Youkai Mountain is even more mysterious, except for the Oni's boredom at the lack of challenge from humans. But the most glaring lack of detail is the very creation of Gensokyo itself; the youkai sages (of which the only member we have know the identity of is Yukari) made a pact with a dragon, that's it.

The manga adaptation depicts the "executions" as a [[PervertRevengeMode rage-fueled super-powered blast of ice magic]], leaving several characters frozen even in the midst of a hot springs. This is actually alluded to in the game itself if you talk to your party members after the Kyoto field trip, and ''VideoGame/PersonaQShadowOfTheLabyrinth'' also alludes to it when Mitsuru threatens Akihiko and Shinjiro with freezing them when they are arguing while shrunken.

* ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'' never explains who won the sauna endurance match between Kiyotaka and Mondo. But whatever happened, they went from bitter enemies to BloodBrothers afterwards.

** Another early one (and her first appearance, natch) has her arrive to bail her friends out after a HopelessBossFight, carrying two {{Plot Coupon}}s and dragging the unconscious mouse/rat/[[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]]-knockoff thing that had them behind her. The villain tells her not to be so proud she beat the items out of a rat, to which Iris Heart replies she didn't just take them, they were payment for services rendered. It isn't revealed what happened between her transformation and arrival, but from [[BastardGirlfriend what we]] [[{{Dominatrix}} find out]] [[ExtremeOmnisexual about her]], the implications are... unsettling.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Bugsnax}}'', during their expedition to Broken Tooth, the player can ask Floofty if they know any plant experts besides Shelda. Their response is to mention that Wambus knows quite a bit about plants, but vowed never to speak to them again after the "Noodler Incident".

--> '''Alien Leader''': [with [[RedEyesTakeWarning fierce, glowing red eyes]]]: "You, degenerate President, we'll tell the world about your secret sex life!"\\

** Suffered from third-degree burns to the majority of his body (on two separate occasions; making fireworks and deep frying a turkey).

* ''{{VideoGame/Octodad}} Dadliest Catch'': Near the beginning of the "Silent, but Dadly" level [[note]]after escaping the break room but before going into the main area of the aquarium[[/note]], you can overhear this bit of dialogue from two marine biologists, referring to the previous level (Shark Naked) where Octodad was being chased around the aquarium's tanks by a shark.

* ''Videogame/FallenLondon'': Plentiful, as the game's narration loves to leave details up to the player's imagination, but some of the most important ones are "Whatever happened in the Second City?" (don't ask the Masters about this one, it [[BerserkButton pisses them off]]), "Why do the Masters hate Egyptian stuff?", "What the hell is wrong with Neath-snow?" (attempts to investigate tend to go wrong, and one microscope used in these endeavors can be found at the Museum of Mistakes, only the lenses anywhere close to intact), and "[[spoiler:Who is Mr. Eaten?]]" (A good question. [[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKNow Not a wise one]]).
