Easter Eggs / Secrets

[Ego]

Even though this game is 4 and a half years old, I still see secrets, references or easter eggs I never noticed before when I play it.

So I thought it would be nice to see what other things people have noticed in this game as there seems to be quite a few little things hidden away. Here's some of the things I've seen:

In The Passing, if you are fast enough in the second act, and make it out of the pool hall towards the metal fence at the end near the cement mixing truck, you'll see a Midnight Riders Tour Bus speed past. Sometimes the survivor that see's it first will say something about it.

In Dead Center if you chop off the head of the mannequin doll's in the third act with a melee weapon, sometimes your character will laugh. The laugh file that plays will be different to the ones you normally hear if you manually make your character laugh with the chat wheel.

Also in Dead Center, its rare but you can actually find a Jimmy Gibbs Jr Zombie in the finale. If he shows up, Ellis will freak out when you kill him by screaming "Nooooo!". If you let Jimmy Gibbs attack you, car oil will cover your view, simular to when you get hit by one of the mud men in Swamp Fever.

In Dark Carnival if you walk up to the microphone on the stage in the finale as Coach or Ellis, they will start to sing or do a mic check. In the same campaign if you walk up to the"you have to be this tall to ride" sign next to the carousel in act 2, the survivors will make a joke about Ellis not being tall enough to get in or Coach will say "atleast there won't be any jockeys in there"

There's tons more, please post any you think are worth mentioning. I know a lot of these are old but there's always people that don't know about them, so I'd thought I'd share

The Passing contains a Dead Rising easter egg, a message from Frank West on the wall of the pool room in one of the buildings. It also contains probably the longest unabridged Keith story Ellis tells, in the final safehouse before the finale.

Plus coach sings the song "suitcase of pistols and money" and in the passing theres a room with a suitcase of pistols and money.

Another Film reference: in The Passing when you are wading through the sewage in act 2, sometimes Ellis will say "Woah I found a Candy bar!...oh wait false alarm". Rochelle then says "Ok...Carl"

This is a reference to Caddyshack where Bill Murrays character Carl spackler eats a chocolate bar which everyone else thinks is...something else.

Yeah and if Rochelle looks at it she asks "Is this your suitcase Nick?". And if Nick see's the suitcase he says "I like the way this guy packs".

You can give the original survivors items in the passing

Is that the one about his Buddy Keith eating sushi, but found it too expensive so decided to try eating raw chicken instead? lol

You can see the crashed Helicopter from the end of Dark Carnival in Swamp Fever. At the start of the campaign, if you walk outside of the train carrage you start in, look to your left then look between the two carrages furthest to your right, You can see the helcopter on the ground on its side.

This is just a small detail, but if you look at some of the equipement on the rock concert stage in Dark Carnivals's finale, you can see a large sticker for that reads "I survived Earls Gator Village" which is one of the locations in the next campaign, Swamp Fever.

I'm sure most people know this one, but I thought I'd write it here anyway. The Jukeboxes in the game can be turned on to play music. All Jukeboxes in the game will play the Midnight Riders songs 'One Bad Man' and Midnight Ride' (the same two songs that play in the Dark Carnival Finale) They also play 'When the saints go Marching in' (which plays in a crescendo event in The Parish act 4.

There are also hidden songs if you turn on a Jukebox enough times. You can hear "Still alive" from portal, 'Your Brains' by Jonathan Coulton and two more Midnight Riders song's 'All I want for Christmas is to kick your ass' and 'Save me Some Sugar'

Yeah, the only way you will really hear it, is if you turn off zombies in the dev console, because even if you walk up to the store and make Nick say his line, any zombies hitting Nick casues him to stop mid sentence.

Wow, good job guys : ) , I don't play this enough to be able to get past the starting drop off.

In Swamp Fever right near the barge that you call across (in the first chapter), you'll see a Charger hung up by ropes in the exact same position as the Lambda logo of Half-Life! Turns out Valve has secretly put the logo in every other Valve game, I think.

In The Passing somewhere in the chapter, where there is a pool table and lots of graffiti on the walls, there's references to three other games

In The Parish there's a sign you cannot miss spelled in big letters saying "Biennville" which was in the demo, as well as a famous place of those two famous criminals: Bonnie and Clyde

In Any level that has a jukebox, there's a chance it'll play the 'blue' track, and this track, track 15, will play the Portal song "Still Alive"

Another thing is that in "Crash Course" you walk up to the dead pilot and being any survivor will say something, particularly Zoey, she'll say, "Pilot license revoked..dun dun dun!"

What I did particularly find on my own was also slicing manniquins' heads off makes my guy laugh, and not to mention also in Dead Center, there's a map that shows all the years, it goes up to 2030, and which freaks me out that 2014 is missing from the list!

Another one for Crash Course, there's an area where with steam spraying from some pipes, if you walk past it, Francis will say "watch out for those damn steam pipes". Zoey then says she loves steam and Francis says "Yeah I love steam too!, just not the pipes".
