1. The Ladder Goat DVD - Call Of Juarez: The Cartel

Call Of Juarez: The Cartel features a most peculiar Easter egg in its twelfth chapter. Near the start of the level, meticulous players can find a DVD hidden underneath a tree entitled "Ladder Goat: The Movie."

This will pop the game's aptly-titled "Ladder Goat" achievement, and while it might at first seem like nothing more than a daft hidden extra, it's actually a direct callback to an infamous glitch from the prior Call of Juarez game, Bound in Blood.

That game contained an hilarious bug in its fourteenth chapter where players were able to witness a goat levitating its way up a ladder as if by magic, with videos of the phenomenon quickly going viral back in 2009.

Again, though, unless you were thoroughly invested in the series' community back in the day, The Cartel's ridiculous reference would've flown clean over your head.
