Easter eggs

[Archived Post]

Well, the old threads are archived, so thought I would start a new easter egg thread.

My favorites so far are Corporal Beihn in the desert. Aliens is still one on my favourite movies. (Check IMDB if you don't get the reference)

Another fun one was fighting Sheriff Robo. IAs I was doing it I couldn't help but hear Homer Simpsons voice in my head "Lobo, Lobo, bring back Sheriff Lobo"

Any other ones that have made people giggle?

[Archived Post]

Canada mission, the passengers you rescue from the crashed airplane are directly inspired by the "Lost" tv series ( good job on copyright, bad Cryptic, bad :p ).

[Archived Post]

again another aliens reference in the desert when you do the mission inside the prison you follow Hicks and Hudson and the dialog is awsome :)

big trouble in little china... great movie

The airliner that crashed in Canada isn't only from Lost, it's a long standing in-joke for hollywood writers.

Lost also wasn't the first to use it.

In Canada, when you have to rescue the clone. The three guys that show up after using the smoke grenades are Shepherd, McKay and Ford. Stargate Atlantis, anyone?

[Archived Post]

Robert and Doug Mackenzie at Steelhead, eh?

[Archived Post]

Hah! I thought I was dreaming of Strange Brew references... and at the end of one of the missions, he says "Now get lost, eh. Why does everyone always laugh when I say that?"

[Archived Post]

Personal Favorites: The multiple Blade Runner references, in Snake Gultch.

One in particular was the quest titled: "Do Animatronics Dream of Automatic Weapons?"

That made me laugh.

[Archived Post]

At least two of the ghosts, Eddie Dean and Hoots, that you have to kill for the sheriff in Burnside are named after characters from Stephen King's Gunslinger series. I bet all four are, but I'm not sure as I haven't finished the books yet.

I really enjoyed the "Anchorman" movie egg. The one where you save Action News from Foxbat. Talking to the reporters gave me a good laugh.

Just recently found a Depeche Mode egg (well that's where I recognize it from). In Lemuria (Arg screenied it but my hud didn't copy over.) there was an NPC who said, "I don't want to start any blasphemous rumors but I think that <insert other NPC name(sorry can't remember who they said)> has a sick sense of humor." I was pleasantly surprised by that one.

Thanks for the smiles!

[Archived Post]

The Anchorman mission is so awesome. I want to replay it.

You have no idea how much I love that movie. It's like I'm trapped in a glass case of emotion!

[Archived Post]

Foxbat's Princess Leia impression is priceless:
"Help me Dr. Silberack, you're my only hope."

[Archived Post]

One of the Mounties who gives quests in Canada (the ones dealing with Argent), is called Diefenbaker iirc, that's also the name of the Wolf belonging to a Mountie in the series: Due South

[Archived Post]

On Monster Island you get a mission from a castaway where you have to collect a momento, ice skates, and a volley ball! :D

[Archived Post]

I THINK there's a vague Half Life reference in Canada, in the first base. Some NPC scientists are talking about where a Dr. Freeman has got to after all these monsters started appearing.

All the Gardoon things are from an old movie that i totally forgot the name of, but the guy can see which humans are aliens cuz his sun glasses.

pretty cool :3 lots of parody things :3 tis real funny. <3 the game

[Archived Post]

This one's pretty obscure.

The quest Millennium City's Most Wanted (sort of an obvious easter egg in and of itself) has you rounding up escaped convicts. Each of them are named after characters from various Coen brothers films, who are themselves criminals or former/escaped convicts.

Hal McDunnough - H.I. McDunnough (Raising Arizona)
Gil Everett - Ulysses Everett McGil (O Brother, Where art Thou)
<something> Showaltar (don't remember first name exactly) - Carl Showaltar (Fargo)
There might be a fourth too, but my memory's kind of foggy.

Cracked me up since I'm a big Coen Brothers' fan.

[Archived Post]

For those who like the Anchorman references, create a nemesis. You get a quest at the tv station and they do some more references.

[Archived Post]

In canada, I was sent to an NPC named Steven Fisher . . . he gave me a quest called "Six Feet Under" . . . Fisher (or is it Fischer) being the name of the family in the series of that name.

In millenium city, there is one quest that made me laugh. Sects in the City. There are others, but I can't remember them at the moment.

[Archived Post]

So many easter eggs I've found it's hilarious.

Most people alreadty know, almost everything Foxbat says in the Tutorial when you rescue him is not just breaking, but more like chewing up the fourth wall and spitting it out.

Meanwhile, outside of the Qularr tutorial....

I managed to get a shotgun power replace item of some sort, can't remember what it was called, but the description said "Walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. Shop smart...shop S-Mart!" - Army of Darkness

MC City Centre and Renaissance Plaza areas are full of jogging enthusiasts that look remarkably like Duke Nukem, right down to the hair and the glasses. They also seem to get named 'Dirk' a lot. Coincedence? maybe that's why the game never got released;Duke was busy holidaying in Millenium City.

One of the lab techs in the desert during Crisis in the Desert said "Why do we have to wear these ridiculous ties??" Later on after the crisis, another one in the desert said "They're waiting for you ... in the test chamber." - Half Life 1.

While doing the 'Minding the Zombies' mission I came across two of the quest target zombies dancing and saying "All we wanna do is eat yer brains!" - from the Jonathan Coulton song "Re: your brains"

One of the randomly fleeing people in the Renaissance Centre during the End of Beta Destroid attacks said "I just wanna be home watching cartoons!" - I'd wager this is from Vince Latello's line in 'My Science Project' upon fleeing the tyrannosaurus.

I don't recall the others at the moment, I'm stuck at work. :D

[Archived Post]

In MC there's at least 1 Big Lebowski references in henchman dialogue on the west side. I don't remember which gang it is, but it's the ones outside of Leo's Bar for the "Millenium City's Most Wanted" quest. They say, "We are Nihilists, we believe in Nothing!" then the response "Say what you want about ___(I don't know if they actually say "the Nazi's" or not), but at least it's an Ethos."


Also, the red sun gang are definitely a take off of Big Trouble in little China. The Magicians are just like the ones from the movie Big Trouble in Little China

The entire Snake Gulch premise is from the 1973 movie Westworld, there is even a NPC that says something like "This here West World isn't big enough for the two of us" with it capitalized just like that.

Funny thing about the movie too, they talk about a "disease" that is spreading among the machines, because the movie was made 1973, there really wasn't a such thing as a "virus" for computers yet. :P

Clint Eastwood rocks and I seriously lol'd when I met her in the saloon....

Never found her two mules though =P

Aye, Yul Brenner as the bada$$ robot cowboy. Westworld was a fun movie for its time. Then you need to toss in some lines from the movie 'Tombstone', "I'll be your huckleberry" :p To finally top it off with the awesome music from the old spaghetti westerns is nothing short of perfection. It is one of my favorite locals in the game. =)

The gunslingers at snake gulch will sometimes face each other and one will say "I'll be your huckleberry." Referencing Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday in Tombstone. Where the actual line is, "I'm your huckleberry." as he stares down a drunk Johnny Ringo.

Ron Burgundy guy in the Foxbat news station mish in MC. You rescue the Anchor man and he says great I am outta here to go play my Jazz Flute:D

[Archived Post]

There are a couple of old movie references in the desert I got a kick out of.

The first is in the Desert Crisis, that I've noticed. Occasionally, the mutants will shout out "One of us, one of us, gooble gobble!" which is a line from Tod Browning's "Freaks".

Just last night, in the post-crisis Desert, when you're doing all those level 11 missions by the radioactive pools with all the bombs and mutants, I saw a giant congregation of dozens of mutants, all arrayed in front of a bomb, worshipping it. I'm pretty sure that was a reference to "Beneath the Planet of the Apes".

I took a screenshot, but I'm not at my home computer. I'll try to post it when I get a chance this evening.

Here's the screen shot:

The movie with the sunglasses is They Live starring Roddy Piper. One of the greatest B movies ever.

A rather obvious one is the entirety of monster island, all the manimals are created by Dr. Moreau.

A lesser known one is the lvl 40 instance on monster island, the Ruins of Anarith, in the second room, there are 2 pits filled with lizard eggs that will hatch if you go near them, and 2 vents on the only path across, that will knock you down into them if you try to cross.

When the eggs hatch, the swarm of lizardlings are called "Jhen-kin Broodlings" (after leeroy jenkins and his famous egg-tastrophy)

Edit: Heres a picture of the little broodlings from when it was possible to hit more than 5 critters at once with an aoe attack ;P

There is a quest in MC, I can't remember which, I think it is one of the PSI missions, but the guys inside the office area are talking to each other and one of them says " I don't know, but he keeps asking me about my TPS reports."

Office Space FTW

tons of super great mission titles are referencing every sort of thing you can imagine. I am really glad i got the lifetime sub, so i can explore for all these references.

excellent job by the Devs, in my opinion.

I didn't see it listed in this thread, might be in an older easter egg one but the perk for finishing all the desert soldier missions "War Never Changes" is also the line said at the start of every Fallout game intro.

I liked how most of the area around Project Greenskin felt like a big Fallout reference...with ratiation, mutants, and...robots.

I actually remarked on this in-game to the zone...as I earned the perk "War Never Changes" from the Project Greenskin missions. Oh Ron Pearlman, will your voice ever stop being awesome?

Super obvious Ghostbusters reference on Monster Island on a Viper base. Three enemies named Gozer, Zuul, and Vinz Clortho.

Mr Griswold from National Lampoon's Vacation shows up in the tutorial. Later on he shows up in Canada as well.

Sometime I think we over think.

I first thought that Griswold was for Vacation but then thighs did not match up. First name is wrong should have been clark. Ok I know they may not have been wanting to do that. So I continue, He lost his breifcase an passport and was going to Canada. I just do not remember him ever going to Canada. He went to wally World (west coast USA) and Europe.

Maybe I am over thinking this.

[Archived Post]

Dunno if this really counts as an Easter Egg as you guys would consider, but I thought was quite funny...

At the end of the Canadian Crisis in the area where you fight the boss and there is stuff floating all around, there is also a bear, yes one of the large animals, swimming through the air, and he actually moves around the area in a big circle.

I first came across it in Beta and thought that it may have been a bug, but then I realized there were boulders and trees floating around too, so the bear must be caught in the telekinetic powers of the area.

You forgot Las Vegas. They went there too.

He said he was going to Canada because he later shows up in Canada and has more missions for you. So they really only had two choices for him. Canada and the desert. I guess the desert might have been more fitting, but meh. The fact remains that it is a man named Griswold going a vacation. Most likely a Vacation reference.

Freeeeemmmmmm!!!!!

Don't think this has been mentioned yet.

Back in April of 07 I believe, COH introduced a new concept called "visual sound." The Devs said they were going to delete the sound files from each computer and replace them with Explosion Bubbles that say Bam, Boom, Pow, etc. The most popular one was "Freem!" Turned out to be an April Fool's joke. But, Freem was immensely popular. So much so that Freem is actually a loading tip for missions on CoH.
I noticed in game, some villains when they charge a power have Freem pop up over their head. I think Cryptic was still with NCsoft when this joke went out.

I'm pretty sure one also mentioned that I must have spent hours in the costume creator on my ensemble.

I also considered it a Ghostbusters reference with that mission where a demon is summoned on top of a building, it looks so similar to the first movie.

In Lemuria one of the first contacts you get outside the sub is like "Steve Scizo" or something, a reference to The Life Aquatic's Steve Zissou.

Almost every mission title is a reference to something, must have been a lot of work. ;)

In Lemuria you have to fight a race of shark-men, one mission for it is called "Sharks with freakin' Laser Beams" (These sharks have shark-shaped laser cannons, but the real sharks with freakin' laser beams are the mechanical shark shaped submarines, which actually do have laser beams on their heads)

So I had just entered Canada, and I heard a scientist say "I think Dr. Freeman is getting it." Now I didn't think half life, until later another scientist said "Why do they make us all wear these ridiculous ties?". The latter is a direct quote from half life, which a scientist says while your in the locker room getting the HEV suit. The other quote is obvious.

Two of them have keys. ;)

I also considered it a Ghostbusters reference with that mission where a demon is summoned on top of a building, it looks so similar to the first movie.

Heck, the building that quest takes place on is called the Shandor Building..Ivor Shandor was the architect who designed the building in the first Ghostbusters movie.

I noticed a Morrowind/Oblivion reference a couple of days ago: a science invention called the Unbreakable Spork mentions a "Spork of Horripilation" in its discription, a reference to the "Legendary" artifact The Fork of Horripilation from those two games.

The defeat robot Nemesis perks.

He's a User, Master Control Program and End of Line all reference the film Tron. "He's a User!" is a line spoken by the big bad's second in command Sark expressing disbelieve that he should be told to kill the main character (a human aka a User transported into the computer system). The Master Control Program is the films big villain. "End of Line" was a phrase that the MCP used whenever he had finished conversing with the evil CEO of the company (equivilent would be "goodbye" I suppose).

The Red Dragon cult perk "Grasshopper" is a reference to the Karate Kid, it was what the Sensai called the main character.

The defeat Cobra gang park "Moped" is a reference to the era when Mods and Rockers use to fight each other, Rockers were bikers and Mods used Mopeds.

The exporation perk "Dark Helmet" is a refence to Spaceballs, it was the name of the Darth Vader parody.

"We are the Champions" perk is refence to a Queen song of the same name.

"Adaware" perk is a refence to the Ad aware spychecker program.

That's all I've noticed that's not been pointed out.

I just fought a named shark in Lemuria tonight. Its name was Skura. I have to say I was really surprised to see a Kids in the Hall reference in any game. For most of you who don't like the show it was a Canadian Sketch show and one of the bits was a small town that had a Jaws like shark named Skura except even though it had mauled and maimed many of the townsfolk, they felt bad for the shark because they could see it killed only because it had to by instinct but hated himself every time he hurt someone. Big thumbs up for seeing that in there.

I am a fan of the quests

All from Monster Island, that place is awesome. But not as awesome as Snake Gulch.

Also the "Conspiracists" near Area 51 all look like the guys from Men in Black, and the guy who gives you the quest to kill them say that they are there to keep the truth about the aliens around there a secret.

I love the extreme amounts of easter eggs and references in this game.

To add onto the Half-life scientists in Canada, they also occasionally say "Do you know who ate all the doughnuts?", which is word-for-word something the scientists in Half-life would say.

Awesome thread--having a blast reading all the ones I've missed and the ones I've caught.

An obvious one, when you get to Canada crisis zone, the quest "And Justicar For All" referencing the seminal Metallica album "...and Justice For All".

One that was really obscure to some but totally obvious to people, ahem, my age is the quest "Are You There, Grond? It's Me, VIPER" from the young adult writer Judy Blume's book from the 70s called "Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret". Totally out of the blue and hilarious.

My faves are the Blade Runner references (someone already noted Do Animatronics Dream of Automatic Weapons, spoof of the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by PK **** that became the movie) and the Cohen brothers.

I missed the nuclear key code that is the famous Konami code that granted extra lives. Fan-freaking-tastic, Cryptic.

So many easter eggs I've found it's hilarious.

Most people alreadty know, almost everything Foxbat says in the Tutorial when you rescue him is not just breaking, but more like chewing up the fourth wall and spitting it out.

Meanwhile, outside of the Qularr tutorial....

I managed to get a shotgun power replace item of some sort, can't remember what it was called, but the description said "Walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. Shop smart...shop S-Mart!" - Army of Darkness

MC City Centre and Renaissance Plaza areas are full of jogging enthusiasts that look remarkably like Duke Nukem, right down to the hair and the glasses. They also seem to get named 'Dirk' a lot. Coincedence? maybe that's why the game never got released;Duke was busy holidaying in Millenium City.

One of the lab techs in the desert during Crisis in the Desert said "Why do we have to wear these ridiculous ties??" Later on after the crisis, another one in the desert said "They're waiting for you ... in the test chamber." - Half Life 1.

While doing the 'Minding the Zombies' mission I came across two of the quest target zombies dancing and saying "All we wanna do is eat yer brains!" - from the Jonathan Coulton song "Re: your brains"

One of the randomly fleeing people in the Renaissance Centre during the End of Beta Destroid attacks said "I just wanna be home watching cartoons!" - I'd wager this is from Vince Latello's line in 'My Science Project' upon fleeing the tyrannosaurus.

I don't recall the others at the moment, I'm stuck at work. :D

I don't recall the name of the mission, but it is around the 15s in Canada. You have to save a captured brain from a gorilla and brain in a jar team. Its an obvious nod to Monsieur Mallah and the Brian of DC Comics fame.

I already made this forum but...

In some areas if you listen close you can hear someone flush a toliet...

In the tutorial if you have the Anti-Grav Boots from Gamestop and fly into the cannon before it explodes after the restart of the open mission and go to the bottom of the cannon...you will teleport somewhere special :P



Haha good catch xD guess its there shift to push the button XD

Does anyone have a confirm on the teleport somewhere special thing? Are you willing to enlighten us, or PM me what you're talking about Zeide?

just tested it, and yes it teleports you.

caveats: the cannon burns you to a crisp. the teleport location is about 200 feet away on the corner of the block (basically an unflagged respawn).

caveats:

Getting off topic for a second, is using this word a new fad?

I have never, in my life, seen or heard this word in use until I joined this forum. Everyone always said warning, caution, etc. Now I'm on this forum and everyone, devs included, is using this word on an almost regular basis. I just found that funny.

In the beginning Desert stage in the radiated military facility ( Desert Crisis ? ) , there is a named quest mob named Alamagordo. Alamagordo is the closest town to the White Sands old nuclear testing site.

I'm assuming no one else has caught this yet.

I actually took a screenshot but it didn't save so i'm going from memory, but one of the VIPER missions in the desert makes you go into a cavern and kill an Ice Super Villan.

While you are fighting the villan, she says a quote from the movie "Jack Frost 2: Return of the mutant killer snowman" I'm totally not joking, I LOLed so hard. It's such a random awful horror movie to be referenced in a game.


the line is something like "Today's forecast, 40% chance of frostbite, 100% chance of me crushing a super hero!"

In the movie it's

"Forecast today, 40% chance of frostbite, 100% chance of death!"

Both are actually references to a New Age concept known as... "harmonic convergence". Don't ask me to explain exactly what it is, some loony hippy-dippy stuff. But the funniest reference I've seen to it is in INWO where there's the card "Harmonica Virgins" ;)

Actually, Harmonic Convergence is an astromomical term for all of the planets being in a (arbitrarily) small arc of the solar system. There's plenty of new agey, peace, love and understanding stuff that some people attach to this event, but the actual term is strait science.

The defeat robot Nemesis perks.

He's a User, Master Control Program and End of Line all reference the film Tron. "He's a User!" is a line spoken by the big bad's second in command Sark expressing disbelieve that he should be told to kill the main character (a human aka a User transported into the computer system). The Master Control Program is the films big villain. "End of Line" was a phrase that the MCP used whenever he had finished conversing with the evil CEO of the company (equivilent would be "goodbye" I suppose).

The Red Dragon cult perk "Grasshopper" is a reference to the Karate Kid, it was what the Sensai called the main character.

The defeat Cobra gang park "Moped" is a reference to the era when Mods and Rockers use to fight each other, Rockers were bikers and Mods used Mopeds.

The exporation perk "Dark Helmet" is a refence to Spaceballs, it was the name of the Darth Vader parody.

"We are the Champions" perk is refence to a Queen song of the same name.

"Adaware" perk is a refence to the Ad aware spychecker program.

That's all I've noticed that's not been pointed out.

The grasshopper quote is from Kung Fu...It's what Master Po called Caine.
"When you can take the pebble from my hand, it will be time for you to leave."

There is a nemesis mission with "Tomb Wader" as the in-instance quest name, and an anthropology professor (not sure if that is Lara Croft's profession, but an obvious reference to her).

Which reminds me, is the Mercy hospital supposed to be a reference to Left 4 Dead? The first scenario in that game is called No Mercy and has you fighting your way to Mercy hospital.

The Steel Sharks have lasers on their heads, thats from the james bond movie or Austin powers, not sure which.

Several of the perks are named after prince songs/albums; Deep Purple and Purple Reign.

Another perk is called Big Game Hunter, which you get from killing manimals which was a game.

The perk for the flight 408 is called Black Box Down, obvious black hawk down egg.

Perk for killing gadroon is called Battle Toads which was an older game in which you played kung-fu toads.

The boss of the Open mission "Plunder the Sea" in Lemuria is named Ismashual, most likely a reference to Ishmael, the main character in Moby ****. One of his quotes is "You may call me... Ismashual" Which I believe is a pretty known line from the book.

He also has a load of other great quotes, all voiced. One of them is
"You'd best start believing in cyborg pirate stories, hero. Because you're in one!" which is a reference to the line "You'd best start believing in ghost stories, Miss Turner. Because you're in one." from Pirates of the Caribbean.
