    Thanks to my obsession with the game, I knew about almost all of these (except the co-op cake recipe). Valve is the best company in the history of the games industry.

    Great list you guys. I had definitely seen some of these in the game, and in my own research, but this has many that I had never heard of. The Prometheus allusions are particularly cool.

    Actually you might have missed one easter egg.I say ''might'' because I dont know if its an actual easter egg and because it can be found very easy.You have mentioned Weatley's advice to freedom in the pit chamber.Well before you reach "the part where he kills you" Weatley gives you an other adivce. *SPOILERS* He advices her to get mashed by a masher because if she die that way not only she will have a "painless" death than the death Weatley has planned to give her, but also she will teach him a good lesson.Talking about a very funny speech

    Very well done and a fun read. I found a few on my first playthrough, but most of them I completely missed. Looking forward to booting up Portal 2 and finding these. Thanks GR! And thanks to Valve for an amazing game!

    I stumbled across the Greek mythology thing less than 24 hours after beating the single player. It's amazing how much of that stuff lines up. I'm also impressed that I found most of these. If you exclude a couple Rat Man locations and anything that requires decoding (I don't have that software and this doesn't make me want it), I found pretty much all of this.

    Holy crap my mind is blown!

    God damn you Valve. I love how you hide shit in plain site that we pass by so very easily. I love the hidden meaning in the song, it makes so much sense now!

    If caroline is Chell's mom then the turret song makes a ton more sense. "My little girl." Come on who says that other than mothers.

    OH MY GOD. If Caroline was really Chell's mom that explains why "she was a lot like you"

    My mind is BLOWN! Time for a third playthrough. Thanks Charlie.

    Really great article. I missed a ton of these.

  • OneToBoner - May 12, 2011 12:19 a.m.

    Wow, I can't believe I missed so many of these. Great list. Oh thing though, just because the Super 8 trailer isn't on console, doesn't make it overlooked. Valve games sell like crazy on PC.
