10 Insane Video Game Secrets You Had To Cheat To Unlock

It’s always a fun time when a video game cheat code goes unfound for years because it really makes you wonder how such a thing happens. Nevertheless, players had a whole new way to enjoy Wave Race: Blue Storm in 2010, a full nine years after the game released, and that way is to be repeatedly chastised and mocked by the game’s announcer rather than be cheered along.

Blue Storm’s alternative commentator would make for a hell of a prank if you were playing with a friend who didn’t know about it since he does all the trash talking for you.

Yes, the typically upbeat announcer for the game can be switched out by a secret code for a much more bored and altogether dissatisfied take. Gone is the Californiam surfer dude stereotype who thinks everything is “sweet” and instead players get to listen to the sardonic grumblings of an announcer who, from the off, tells you “you’ve chosen poorly” no matter which character you play as.

A total barrage of “poor”, “pathetic” and a hilarious coo of “oooh a turbo” will guide you through every track no matter how well you’re doing. It’s not surprising that this wasn’t even made unlockable considering how maddening it is but it’s that kind of weird that you can’t deny wanting to try out at least once.
