There’s a hidden vortigaunt at start of WGH. You need to noclip to a dark cube room. Is that an easter egg?

I don’t understand it, but - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrodinger%27s_cat

Do not play with the infamous crusher from chapter apprehension!

You realize that Valve didn’t make this, right? Also, I think that was just a random screenshot from one of the developer’s computers.

  1. They’re called houndeyes
  2. Pizza is an ARG. It’s a pretty big deal
  3. That’s Schrodinger’s cat (also Valve didn’t make this).
  4. Cola- Bola is a fake brand name instered by the devs, reffering to Coca Cola, just like the Alpine Hue and Fony Tv.

It’s XP with Classic Menu if u look to the Start button :slight_smile:

Did anyone else of you swim down the flooded area of Apprehension where you first get the crossbow after killing the creature. It is very very deep and vast!!! That part of the facility (now presumably abandoned) use to be very large. Don’t know if this counts as an easter egg but it’s still something very cool. You’ll need to have God Mode on if you want to reach the bottom tough…

That’s not really an easter egg, but I’d say its cool. :slight_smile:
Except when I was swimming down, 2 things happened.

  1. I thought it was just a resetting loop because the same ‘structure’ keeps popping up as you go down on one side.
  2. I thought an ichthyosaur was going to eat my face. Seriously, I can’t handle them.

The first one I knew would be there, the one where if you swim down a bit, it’s in the depths a bit, that one had me scared shitless. So the entire time I was like “DONT COME OUT OF NOWHERE PLS”.

and yes i did swim all the way down in the flooded area but i didnt have noclip sdo i got pwned

I’m assuming this line is indeed a reference…

In WGH, at one point, the player runs into two scientists hiding near some turrets with the laser tripwires everywhere. One of the possible scientist lines is “Don’t cross the beams!”

Ghostbusters?

#172

I found the “The Snark was a Boojum” reference, and I definetively loled. Reason? Not only Lewis Carroll, but tf2maps.net has a member that is almost the “entity mage” and made an awesome pack. His forum name? A Boojum Snark. Why does this references to tf2maps in my opinion? JeanPaul (you may find his locker in Anomalous Materials - the french surname), one of the level designers since early indev, is a member of tf2maps.net and is known for his crazy arquiteture in his maps.

Most of the objects are based off of real-life brands.

Ha, I didn’t even know that. I thought they had changed everything to fake brands.

#177

Well it’s better they use real brands…

#178

I think that’s for the vortigaunts that teleport in. IIRC you need to have a template entity somewhere on the map.

#179

Bingo.

You’ll find a lot of that in Black Mesa’s maps.

Somebody wants an eye:

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
