Line 24:
*** Maria Santiago [[Yuko Kaida|is]] [[Queen's Blade|Risty]], [[Gundam Unicorn|Marida Cruz]] and [[Sengoku Basara|Matsu]].
*** Richard Prescott [[Hidetoshi Nakamura|is]] [[The King of Fighters|the other Seth]].
* [[Limited Special Collectors' Ultimate Edition]]: Two of these for Adam Fenix in ''Gears of War 3'': purchasing either one allows the player to unlock his skin for multi-player.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Jace had a few lines in ''Gears of War 2'' (with a borderline Aussie accent) before the graphic novels turned him into an [[Ascended Extra]] and not just a generic Gear in a helmet.
** [[Drake]] was originally signed on to voice him in ''Gears of War 3'' before scheduling conflicts came up to prevent it.
*** And he also gets a new voice actor for his younger self in "RAAM's Shadow".
* [[Shrug of God]]: As explained by David Nashty and Karen Traviss, the writers actually ''did'' have a confirmed backstory for Myrrah, New Hope and the Sires. However, Epic went to the effort of deleting the Q&A post by Nashty revealing this backstory, leaving its "canon" status up in the air (see the Discussion section for details).
* [[What Could Have Been]]: The series staple, the Lancer/Chainsaw Bayonet, was on the edge of whether it was going to be actually included in the game. It wasn't until they devised the design of it being integrated into the grip that they devised a semi-plausible chainsaw mounted assault rifle. Somewhere, a group of Gnasher-only [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys]] are cursing their rotten luck.
** In hindsight, knocking the Corpser into Imulsion probably wasn't the greatest idea. Good thing the Lightmass Bomb took care of it.
