In the 90s when I was a little boy I had a pony tail. It got me hazed a little bit, but was cool seeing a protagonist rocking one. Suddenly didn't feel that dumb. In the 2000s I chopped it off and soon after Valve cut Gordon's too. The resonance cascade intertwined me and Gordon's fate lol. Great video!
That Dr. Horn shack also has a drawing about befriending aliens, building a huge tower, and saying that Eli can't come "because he's a stupid face". I always imagined the shack belonging to Dr. Breen.
The worm juice is a reference to "Wall Worm Modeling Tools" which is an add-on for 3dsmax to work with the source engine. It was made by one of the BMS devs, Shawn Olson.
The long fall boots were proposed to investors, so apparently the long fall boots must've gotten funding from the military at some point before Aperture went bankrupt, seeing how Aperture got funding from the military in the 50s its not too far fetched that the military would fund them again.
4:53 there's more to this easter egg. That looks identical to msn messenger. Was extremely popular back in the early 2000's. Since you said you were 10 when black mesa came out, it's probably before your time though.
The worm is a ragdoll, and when you shoot ragdolls, they make a blood texture. Since there are mostly humanoid ragdolls, they will make the red blood texture. So this was most likely a rebel or combine model that was modified edit: i though the ponytail meant being late too
4:56 fun fact: in the messages it says the name Walter Bennett. Who is a character that appears in blue shift and escapes with barney and rosenberg in the ending of blue shift!
I always thought "The Pizza is a lie" was a reference to the scientist and guard's bet to see if Gordan would show up that day. After you enter the server room the guard will say "Well look who showed up today, guess you owe me lunch" then after the scientist who made the bet walks away the guard will say "Yup, there's a large pepperoni pizza in my future" with the scientist saying "And I hope you choke on it". Later in the story in the chapter "On a rail" you can find a flooded stair well with a dead floating scientist and a zombified guard with "The pizza is a lie" written on the wall under the stairs.
The Pizza ARG is definitely going to take an hour or longer to explain, yeah. Thing is also, it is currently a theory that Secret Hideout 2 (Easter Egg 14 in this video) might be tied to the ARG, given the connection of the ARG to Dr. Horn.
Übrigens, einen Easter Egg hast du vergessen zu erwähnen: Man kann ein Funkgerät in den Höhlen des Gonarchen finden und Barney hören, wie er über den Dr. Horn redet.
dude, i remember when i found your channel a few months ago and you were on the verge of passing 5k subscribers, and now here you are with five times the amount! keep up the good work lucia 🎉
I'm actually also german (as you may have guessed from my username) and I also thought for a long time that the "you cut the ponytail" line was some sort of saying. Although I thought it just meant that you ruined something and not that you're late for something. I even thought the guard might be talking about Gordon showing up at all ruined some kind of dare or something? I don't know. It's funny to see though that someone else also misinterpreted the line in a similar way.
Ooh, I didn't know about the hideout with Dr. C Horn's portrait in it until now, but I did see his name in the Questionable Ethics chapter! On the biodome complex lab announcements board, there's a notification for him that says "Your Pizza is ready for collection from the staff canteen". I distinctly remember this so him being mentioned was a jumpscare for me,,
6:20 That guard has even more puns about you needing to gtfo before "he" returns. 8:06 Oh when the Alient Grunts does it it's fine but when I do it I'm an "alien fisting pervert".
I honestly didn't expect Easter eggs from Black mesa, let's get to it :D Hidden Hat - God, don't even remind me about this hat xD I'm doing achievements in Black Mesa 100% and because of this hat and one other thing I've been doing it for a MONTH! Worms Juice - I didn't know about this and I admit... it's a strange Easter egg xD PIZZA - Just coming back, this damn pizza is the second thing that has been making me 100% Black mesa for a MONTH xD Besides, I didn't know that "The Pizza is Lie" has its own ARG o.o Portal Reference - All in all, it's quite complicated xD Assassins from BM refer to the Portal, which refers to the deleted Assassin NPC from HL2 Beta xD Secret Conversation - I admit that I listened to the entire conversation and something about Black Mesa dawned on me after your video, but only now I see a clear reference ;D Ponytail - I admit that it is an interesting reference and I caught it myself, which is not surprising, although I am curious... does Black Mesa take place in a different universe? o.o Secret Hideout - I didn't know about that, it's even a nice hiding place to watch TV with a beautiful view ;P Classic Quotes - I noticed this when I started my Achievements challenge, it's nice that they left it somewhere ;P DopeFish - I know about this from another Easter eggs video, but it's also cool that this fish still appears in games after all these years xD Lockers - Well, I'm not surprised that they gave their names, as if they had created this game ;P Houndeye - I found this twice, quite... cute. Microwave - I already knew about it from HL, but I only now found out that it refers to Magnusson o.o Secret Hideout - I know this from another Easter eggs video, even from what I know it has some lore behind it, but I don't remember it now. Hive Head Lines - I didn't know about that, but it's funny ;> Overall... I like videos like that, can check my knowledge about easter eggs in games ;P
The best Easter egg is from the mod version and it is the chuckle brothers mugs that fill the place. Apparently someone in the black Mesa procurement team loves classic UK children's comedy
i Think the purple hat is actually a reference to an meme on r/Halflife or r/okbuddyhalflife or both where people would make fake characters (mostly Half-life 2) and make a post saying "do you guys remember ____" i Believe purple hat references "Jackson" with his "purple appearance" in Half-life 1where he wears a purple hat
I really like your videos and have been watching for a while now. I do have one criticism for you though. Sometimes I wish you'd talk a bit slower with some pause between sentences. It can be a little hard listening to fast paced speech for multiple minutes at once
Thank you! Yeah I do speak too fast pretty often, I‘m still trying to improve that. You should watch my old videos though, those feel like you‘re watching on 2x lol. (The half-life 3 leak one)
@@1lucia haha I know man, not gonna lie sometimes I put your videos on x0.75 speed 😅 but yeah I just mean it with good intention. Your videos are edited nice and the information conveyed is really good. Just the speaking part can be improved on in the future =)
I'm pretty sure the phrase, "Make like an atom and split" is referring to 1. Atomic Bombs 2. Atom Half-Life which is the amount of time it takes one half of the atoms present of something to decay.
2:35 Isn't really a reference. Because the Black Mesa Assassin is actually just a reskin of the combine elite assassin from the betas of Half - Life 2. And since Half - Life 2 came out WAAYY before Portal, they instead replaced the Combine elite assassin's model for Chell in order to reuse the model in Portal for the player. So, it's most likely a coincidence, I don't think the devs of Black Mesa knew or tried keeping it intentionally. But yeah, they're the same as Chell's boots.
There is another refrence you missed. İn blast pit chapter after we fry the tentacles, security guard shows up and says, "İf it bleeds, you can kill it." and İt's a Predator(1987) refrence.
very dissapointed that this didnt feature that weird little easter egg below some stairs in the questional ethics map where you get the tau cannon, where you can find a room with a brush-made looking person (without a head), if you try to interact with said brush-made person, it plays a transmission. portal 2 arg style, theres also a second secret room where you can find a truck that is also made of brushes, with some text saying "MY brushwork truck, MY pizza" it also has "The Pizza Is A Lie!" spray in it so thats also notable.
The only time I ever made a serious attempt with the hat my save glitches out while swimming in the coolant chamber. So I loaded the previous save and I somehow hit the same glitch. So both saves spawned me in the water and I was unable to move and drown. I said screw it and started a new game at the beginning of the lambda chapter.
I'm going to start saying you cut the ponytail to everyone who is late now. There's enough weird English phrases that honestly I'm surprised there isn't a weird slang for it.
Hey dude, know im late but, tried some of these with sv cheats and for fun typed in impulse 101, killed some scientist and all of them started either saying fantastic or a sick joke. Pretty weird.
Be sure to check out my Black Mesa video from last week as well! :)

I feel like that "huge tower" part could be a reference to Hazardous Course 2.
You see it again in the Lambda Complex around where you get the gluon gun and I think it's signed by Breen
- "befriending" aliens (The Combine)
- building a huge tower (The Citadel)
- being in opposition to Eli (self-explanatory)
I think dr c. Horn just looks like bubbles from trailer park boys

Oh true should‘ve thought of that! Also I grew up watching your content, it’s so cool to see you comment on one of my videos :P
literally what i was abt to say Also love your mapping tutorials. ❤
It was actually made for shawn olsons son for them to find.@@1lucia
2:26 The long fall boots were originally part of the cut Combine Assasins from the Half-Life 2 beta. Valve reused the design for Chell in Portal.
Though I like to think that Aperture Science actually managed to sell something to the millitary.
yeah i know man

Really glad I found your channel Lucia, you put alot of effort into these and they're top notch.
7:06 Don't talk to Dr. Chris Horn like that. He is the greatest mind of this generation!

Honestly, "you cut the ponytail" should be a phrase mentioned when missing a deadline.
Feels like it fits, somehow.
This was fun, definitely consider a part 2.
Thanks for the nostalgia!
the officer's lines about the hand got me dead LMAOO
I honestly didn't expect Easter eggs from Black mesa, let's get to it :D
Hidden Hat - God, don't even remind me about this hat xD I'm doing achievements in Black Mesa 100% and because of this hat and one other thing I've been doing it for a MONTH!
Worms Juice - I didn't know about this and I admit... it's a strange Easter egg xD
PIZZA - Just coming back, this damn pizza is the second thing that has been making me 100% Black mesa for a MONTH xD Besides, I didn't know that "The Pizza is Lie" has its own ARG o.o
Portal Reference - All in all, it's quite complicated xD Assassins from BM refer to the Portal, which refers to the deleted Assassin NPC from HL2 Beta xD
Secret Conversation - I admit that I listened to the entire conversation and something about Black Mesa dawned on me after your video, but only now I see a clear reference ;D
Ponytail - I admit that it is an interesting reference and I caught it myself, which is not surprising, although I am curious... does Black Mesa take place in a different universe? o.o
Secret Hideout - I didn't know about that, it's even a nice hiding place to watch TV with a beautiful view ;P
Classic Quotes - I noticed this when I started my Achievements challenge, it's nice that they left it somewhere ;P
DopeFish - I know about this from another Easter eggs video, but it's also cool that this fish still appears in games after all these years xD
Lockers - Well, I'm not surprised that they gave their names, as if they had created this game ;P
Houndeye - I found this twice, quite... cute.
Microwave - I already knew about it from HL, but I only now found out that it refers to Magnusson o.o
Secret Hideout - I know this from another Easter eggs video, even from what I know it has some lore behind it, but I don't remember it now.
Hive Head Lines - I didn't know about that, but it's funny ;>
Overall... I like videos like that, can check my knowledge about easter eggs in games ;P
7:50 the hive hand sounds so weird
The best Easter egg is from the mod version and it is the chuckle brothers mugs that fill the place.
Apparently someone in the black Mesa procurement team loves classic UK children's comedy
I wonder what easter eggs there will be in the Blue Shift version they are making at the moment.
5:03 i did not expect that
I remember carry the hat when the game was just a mod in 2012 and I got the Vortigaunt ending. I loved.
please do a second part, this was amazing
I love your videos!
Keep up the good work!
The comments about the hive hand were gold
they cut the damn pony tail

i Think the purple hat is actually a reference to an meme on r/Halflife or r/okbuddyhalflife or both where people would make fake characters (mostly Half-life 2) and make a post saying "do you guys remember ____"
i Believe purple hat references "Jackson" with his "purple appearance" in Half-life 1where he wears a purple hat
Lets go for part 2 !
when you pick up the tau cannon it makes the door sounds from doom

I'm pretty sure the phrase, "Make like an atom and split" is referring to 1. Atomic Bombs 2. Atom Half-Life which is the amount of time it takes one half of the atoms present of something to decay.
have you ever said "you cut the ponytail" to anyone when you thought it was about being late to something?
Cut the ponytail should be a way to say someone’s late
