... That Picture was from Banjo Tooie, not Kazooie, and hell, I can't believe that's the only inappropriate innuendo you got! The game is full of them!

Also, I have played BioShock 1 over 10 times, Where do you find the Pacman cameo?

Edit: I have too find that 2 part Youtube Video showing all the innuendo in those 2 games
One I remember is in the Banjo Tooie quiz one of the options too the quiz was 'M. Bates'
Nuts and Bolts had 2 challenges named 'Big Balls, Hairy Pits' and 'You'll go blind you dirty wanker!'
Or 'My sisters party trick is preforming a strip tease!'
^Video Above; Plants actually say 'Thank You' not 'f you'

Also;

Shenmue was originally designed for the sega saturn.
