  1. I'm surprised this didn't end with him pain-stakingly hunting down the exact frame of the the exact phantom dust video on YouTube that the screen capture was taken from. that would have been a ton of work though

  2. An even more obscure game that was a childhood favorite of mine is a scene in the show eureka in a gaming store they fly past a scene of someone playing kameo. It’s literally seconds into the game so they booted it up and started playing it just for this scene

  3. I got some more lore to add to the phantom Dust rabbit hole.
    Back when Microsoft announced the remaster of PD but before the trailer was shown at that games conference. A radio station was hosting Vincent Gallo on one of their shows. The DJ was named Brian, or Ben, something simple. I don’t remember the name of his show but it was late evening, 11p or 12 am idk.
    They were taking calls and you could ask questions. So when I was able to make it through, I first shared my appreciation for his art but followed up my question with; if he remembered phantom dust. I then told him that they were making a remaster and asked if his music was going to be used in the games credits again. He said he didn’t hear anything from Microsoft or knew anything about a remake but he said he was onboard if they wanted his music for the credits.
    Then shorty after it was announced that phantom dust was on hiatus. Then all the other things about the development team.
    I always tried to find that broadcasting but that was almost 10 years ago now. Just a cool moment to speak to the guy who was apart of my favorite game.

  4. just found about this, here in mexico a lot of ppl saw that show(ptty mediocre drama, i was not interested at all) but seing THIS game on there was so goofy and funny jajjaj, funny how sometimes things go all around, and tbh, think, how many of this details, things we dont notice, connections, are out there?

  5. So i ended up at one point getting phantom dust and had no idea the backstory behind the game itself so its sitting waiting for me to install it again. I got stuck at some point and decided to uninstall the game to have a break from it since i was invested. Been procrastinating since.

  6. I believe that someone was just playing phantom dust and then they were like we need a pause screen so he just paused phantom dust even if we know why i will always stick to this

  7. Here's my guess, since the game is free on windows store and sometimes random games get recommended, this game will also show when you filter by free games, my guess is that the studio recording the drama show didn't care about what game they will do much, because that's not the focus of the story so they downloaded a random game on that windows computer from Microsoft store which just happened to be Phantom Dust.

  8. I know it's not nearly as impressive, but I remember watching NCIS:LA, and there's also Killer Instinct in there. Dude is like, chilling in a bathtub, playing KI while agents raid his house. Also in the same show, there's a kid playing what I think was Cuphead, on like, one of those tablet-laptops, the ones with flappy keyboards. I have no idea what they're called.

    Not all that surprising, since I'm pretty sure Microsoft would provide them computers and whatnot too.
