Game References in Popular Culture

So I was doing some research into Adrian Shepherd from Opposing Forces on Wikipedia, then moved onto Gordon Freeman to see if I could learn anything new. If you have ever scoured the Wiki character pages, at the bottom they often listen other places where these guys were referenced. I just thought it'd be interesting for you guys to post what you found and maybe learn something we didn't know. It doesn't have to be about Half-Life.

Gordon Freeman - Popular Culture

• In Call of Duty: United Offensive, near the start of the second mission, two American soldiers are shown running side-by-side. On the left, Pvt. Gordon, and on the right, Pvt. Freeman.
• In Dead Space, if the player finds the text log of reported dead miners near the captain's seat, the name G. Freeman is on the list.
• In The Punisher, a scientist refers to another scientist as "Doctor Freeman" and asks what a noise he heard was, to which Doctor Freeman replies "maybe the quantum physics department finally opened that extradimensional portal!". The reply is "Extradimensional aliens! Wonder what they look like?", a reference to the opening scene of Half-Life.
• In S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, the player may find inside a tunnel located in the Wild Territory a body marked "Freeman". When it is searched, Gordon's Personal Digital Assistant is found, it is learned Gordon hates his bosses and had to trade his crowbar for a can of meat.

I doubt references to videogames in other videogames count as pop culture......
A good example would be the book reference, A Big Boy Did It and Ran Away....

You gotta love stuff like in the Hitman movie where 47 jumps out his hotel room window swinging on the rope and bust through the window of the room below to find a couple of kids playing one of the Hitman games. A real WTF moment.

Haha, that's awesome.

I like the tetris thingy in the simpsons, where homer has got to fit all of the stuff in the car.

I think one of the most embarrassing in recent years is Resident Evil: Apocalypse's 'G! T! A! Motherfucker! Yeah! Ten points!' But I think the entire film counts as an embarrassing video game reference.

Another one I liked was the Pac Man maze in Club Dread.

Oh, let's not forget Frogger in Seinfeld.

Yeah, it's generally a nightmare.  I like the representations of video games in old 70s sci-fi movies: e.g. Soylent Green."

I've never watched the show so I can't help, I'm afraid.  But chances are that any quotation of the words "soylent green" is probably a reference to Chuck Heston battling through an overpopulated future.

I think this is a much better use of video game references in pop culture (and I don't think anyone can disagree):
