  Boy, I don’t remember the answer to most of these questions and I was there for every minute of the original trilogy’s creation 😜

  I&apos;m actually a little surprised you guys didn&apos;t mention anything about Twisted Sister front man, Dee Snider, voicing Gol in the first game. I actually have a fun little bit of trivia regarding this too.<br><br>I&apos;ve been best friends with his second oldest son since we went to elementary school together in the mid to late 90&apos;s. He was actually the reason I knew about Jak and Daxter way earlier since he and his dad had gotten to go to Naughty Dog&apos;s studio to record the voice lines months in advance of the first reveal. He told me about the entire experience, but what really stuck out to me was how they asked Dee to specifically record Twisted Sister-related dialogue. One of these lines actually did make it into the game, which has Gol saying, &quot;We&apos;re not gonna take it&quot; before Jak grabs the Light Eco. But there were some others that were more for the sake of joking around. They were things along the lines of &quot;We&apos;re not gonna take it/I wanna rock? What kind of idiot would write that?!&quot; in Gol&apos;s voice.<br><br>I&apos;ll have to ask him if he remembers anything else from that day, or possibly others unused lines. Still, I found it pretty funny.

  For the yellow sages lab, I always assumed that he blew it up as he fought Gol and Maya. When you get to the Red Sage&apos;s lab, you learned that he put up more of a fight then the blue sage. Red Eco is known in the game to increase your strength, while yellow eco to volatile causing explosion. I always thought that when Gol and Maya fought the yellow sage and he fought back, he kinda... blew up his house in the ensuing fight.

  I like the &quot;insect collection&quot; line because it gives insight onto what daily life was like for Jak and Daxter before things changed

  Going realistic for Jak 4 is a mistake. Keep the same art style, age up the characters a little, and focus on gameplay and story above everything.

  You missed a lot of facts that aid the argument that Jak is the original Mar. His father made it a point to state that the armor Jak wore was rumored to have been worn by Mar himself. Also, Samos says at the end of Jak 2 that &quot;Mar may be closer than we think.&quot; We know Samos has a lot of secrets and knowledge about the future due to his own time travel and from talking to plants.

  For the Water Slums mission, the best cheat is to turn into Dark Jak and dark bomb the water, which will take out the security turret and allow you to hoverboard under the bridges, avoiding actually having to engage with the Krimson Guards.

  One thing I&apos;ve never seen mentioned anywhere which always interested me was in a mission in Jak 2 or 3 (not sure which) there is a Crimson Guard mining operation that you have to wreck by grinding around a large drill in the center of the room and break support cables. The Crimson Guards are throwing grenades but if you get a good look at them, the grenades are actually miniature models of the dark eco canister/relic that Jak and Daxter find in the intro cutscene on Misty Island in the first game. The canister/relic is the one that lights up and Jak throws at the lurker that attacks them.

  Can we take a moment to talk about the Baron&apos;s cut dialogue?<br><br>As someone who LOVES the metalheads and their storyline, hearing the Baron address the attack the way he did gave me genuine chills...

  for someone who first encountered terry over 10 years ago when i was 5 and thinking it was all just a dream i saw it really warms my heart to finally after so long to actually get confirmation that it indeed exists. the sight of terry was just burned into my memory and every time i went to play the mission i was really questioning if he would appear again... he never would which let me to believe that i had just imagined it
