NiGHTs into Dreams is one of those games that has this interesting, intriguing feeling to it as though you could stumble across something you've never seen before in it despite playing through it hundreds of times, I had a Sega Saturn when I was a kid but I never had NiGHTs for it. I first played NiGHTs in 2017 on the Steam version of the game before getting it for the Saturn later on, I'm going to get the PS2 version of it soon as well. After a week of playing it and unlocking everything in the Steam release it became one of my favorite games, there's something so charming and mysterious about the game that keeps me coming back to it every year, the development of the game and all of the unused stuff inside and outside of NiGHTs is also very interesting to me.


This post (or episode if you are watching the video version of this blog post) isn't about the unused boss Self or his internal name of Selph, the King Pian or Super Pian, the blue door seen in beta footage, the unused Spiral Claris level or the robotic mecha version of NiGHTs that the Nightopians can supposedly play with, it's actually about something involving Jackle's boss arena. Before I talk about the mystery here I'd like to talk about something similar that can happen in Puffy's arena after the boss fight is over, to see this choose the level Splash Garden and make your way through the stage until you get to the boss fight with Puffy, when you are almost at the end of her arena time the final hit perfectly so that there's a "2" on the timer, if you did this correctly you'll see a secret animation of a closet door opening and an umbrella falling out of it. This is the kind of stuff I love to see in video games, I know I mention it a lot on my blog and in videos but there's something about unexplained things in games that I adore, the question of why a developer added something is great to theorize on, especially with other people.


Speaking of theorizing on that, really though, why does this happen? It reminds me of one of the ways you can unlock Luigi in Super Smash Bros Melee which also has a two in the timer as a requirement, more on the "umbrella" though, that's just what I've always called it since I first saw it, in the files for the remastered version of the game the object is labeled as "mo_jack", it looks like some kind of stick and it appears to have a mask on it. The stick thing falling out of it doesn't work in Sonic into Dreams oddly enough, I heard this is due to the timer working differently in that mode within Christmas NiGHTs. Is there anything else in the game like this? According to a rumor there is...


This is the reason why I mentioned this event in Puffy's boss room, there's supposedly something that can happen during or after the fight with Jackle, specifically involving the guillotine in his boss room. Under certain conditions it is said this guillotine can sometimes be seen dropping, normally the blade of the guillotine and the device itself is stationary and doesn't do anything, but according to the rumor it is capable of playing an animation. Is there something more to this device? There's a few unused objects among other things associated with Jackle's boss room, this one was actually found recently, at some point in development this one now unused background of a desert would have been used for an area the player would have been teleported to for a memory matching game using all of Jackle's tarot cards before supposedly being teleported back to the boss arena. During Jackle's boss fight he only uses one of his tarot cards as opposed to all of the other ones from this scrapped memory matching game.


I thought I would mention that unused aspect of the boss fight as there's a few rumors of it still being viewable in the game, similar to the rumor of the guillotine dropping. The first mentions of the supposed guillotine Easter egg seemingly originate from a fan made wiki for NiGHTs into Dreams that's either no longer available or the detail about the guillotine was removed from it, when I made my other post on the mysteries of NiGHTs I saw a forum post speaking of this fan made wiki and the detail about the supposed Easter egg but it appears even that post talking about it is also gone, the only other mention of this is from a popular NiGHTs fan named Digi Valentine and I assume he also heard of this supposed Easter egg from the same place.


While getting the footage for the video version of this post I decided to have a duel with Jackle a few times but I haven't seen the guillotine drop. In all of my years of playing this game I haven't encountered this happening, people have looked through the game and haven't found any animations for the guillotine either. I'm wondering how this rumor actually started, that's a mystery in itself, maybe it didn't originate on a fan made wiki for the game but regardless of what site it came from my question is why the rumor was made, did someone actually see the guillotine drop or thought that's what they saw? This one might just remain a mystery...

DragonBall Super Beerus next week!!!

Hi; so I'm making this thread because TF2 is a cesspool in terms of community and official servers so I thought it'd be neat to name off servers that are actually good. Feel free to name ones off yourself and favorite the ones I list.

Potato's MvM Servers (Always Active) - Potato's servers offer a wide variety of MvM custom maps and gamemodes. There is zombie survival, L4D-styled zombie survival, roguelike mode, vanilla - tons of fun. I recommend you play these servers over vanilla MvM because it's just superior in every single way. They even have a few experimental custom weapons and upgrades on some of the servers.

Weird Russian Servers (Always Active) - So I've noticed there's a ton of servers that are named in Russian text and are similar to 2Fort 24/7 DMfest servers, but they run these really odd-looking maps usually using HL2 and CS: Source assets. They're pretty neat to chill on honestly.

MvM Randomizer/Roguelikemod (Very Active) - Ever wanted to play Mann vs. Machine with a randomizer? What about a Mann vs. Machine with roguelike upgrades? How about both? Because this server has players assigned with a randomized loadout, with upgrades pertaining to the loadout you were given. My only issue is it gets a bit repetitive after some time. Would recommend.

castaway.tf   (Semi-Active) - The castaway community while annoying and is good to just mute and hud_saytext_time 0, is actually the closest thing you're gonna get to old TF2. A lot of the cosmetics people wear on the server are from the classic era of the game and the maps they mostly run are either a handful of old custom maps, or the launch ones and asteroid and cactuscanyon. The server reverts your weapons back to their original state so you can feel that authentic old TF2 feel before comp players ruined it.

redsun.tf (Semi-Active) - The community is a complete mess. Immediately disable hud_saytext_time, voice chat, and sprays and decals upon joining to avoid cultural rot. However, this community loves to run a ton of really fun custom gamemodes besides deathrun and you'll have a blast goofing around on it. The amount of custom gamemodes this server offers is insane, but one of the issues with the server is they run VSH, deathrun, and dodgeball way too often. Despite this you will come across things like gungame, super zombie fortress, and even a recreation of SCP: Secret Laboratory in TF2.

-[DISC-FF.com]- Freak vs Freak (Semi-Active) - This one is weird; it's Freak Fortress 2 but both teams play as the bosses with different abilities they use on each other as if it was movement shooter DOTA. There are some recognizable faces like Soldine, Nightmare Medic, Painis Cupcake, etc., but a majority of the freaks of course aren't even from the TF2 Freak Universe wiki, which is an unfortunate downside most if not all Freak Fortress 2 servers have.

Zesty Vanilla Servers (Semi-Active) - So imagine castaway but without the reverts and a community of soycacas and nusois. That is Zesty's servers except the servers for some reason lack a few weapons like the Short Circuit because Zesty is a whiny baby who says it doesn't fit TF2 for some unknown reason. Still better than casual by a long shot and despite a plurality of the maps played being payload, it's actually quite fun.

BLW.TF SUPER ZOMBIE FORTRESS (Semi-Active) - I know the name is scary since it's BLW.TF, but this is a really good server if you're enthusiastic about playing Super Zombie Fortress. To explain what that is exactly, the RED team has to gather weapons pertaining to their current classes and run through a gauntlet of zombies that the other team is playing as, and when a RED team member dies they join the BLU team and even have a chance to become a TF2 version of a L4D2 special infected. Fair warning that there are a few cringe maps on it.

Wolves Den 18+ (Semi-Active) - OK so this is a pretty trash server but the only reason why I put it here is because it has some cool fun maps I recommend you download by joining the server. That's literally it LELZ.

SG-Gaming.net - Freak Fortress Custom! & Panda-Community.com | Freak Fortress 2 (Semi-Active) - So these are normal Freak Fortress 2 servers but half of the freaks on them actually originate from the TF2 Freak Universe wiki. While there aren't too many freaks to pick from, it's really nice to see servers that at least has some level of respect for the OG TF2 Freak community like Freak Fortress Forever had.

DixieDandy (Barely Active) - Ran by SouthernNinja, this server is similar to castaway except it's superior in that its community is actually decent when you sweep aside the drama. It has reverts, good maps - basically just castaway premium edition.

Bad Weapon Rehabilitation (Barely Active) - This server is almost never active, but when it is it's a lot of fun because the server attempts to remaster weapons that are garbage instead of reverting them or leaving them as is. I'm pretty sure the server has a command to vote to add bots but I forget honestly.

BLW.TF | CLASS WARS | MAP ROTATION (Barely Active) - I physically cannot understand why people would wanna play generic class wars Dustbowl over something with more variety. It sucks that Delfy's old custom map class wars with custom modes server is dead because I used to have a lot of fun on it. This server is at least active sometimes.

Coolstuff's Stabby Server - (Never Active) - castaway except nobody's playing this dead-ass game LMFAO.

goofballs.moe - (Never Active) - Yet another revert server. This one has custom maps too.

OSAKATOPIA - (Never Active) - Y'know it's a shame nobody really gives a Cabbage about old TF2 anymore. A lot of TF2 players are either here for the stupid trading and unusuals, character shipping, YouTubers, wholesome chungus community, etc.. All these people will larp and be dilettante representatives of old TF2 culture while a majority of the real playerbase has moved onto new things because they realized life isn't about playing the same video game over and over. I guess that makes me a slight exception.
