Earlier today I posted about the Lost easter eggs that people have been finding in Half-Life 2, specifically a Dharma Initiative like logo and the mysterious Lost numbers. I put out a call for folks to send in any that they found and Kotakuite, External Gazer got right on and emailed us a picture of the numbers which we did not have before. So there it is in all it's easer eggy glory. If anyone finds any more, be sure to send them our way!
Apparently, the design team working on Half-Life Episode 2 are fans of the ABC TV show, Lost. This morning I received an email from Kotakuite p00pzilla with this screenshot clearly showing a symbol on the wall that mimics the logo of Lost's Dharma Initiative. Now add to this the email I received yesterday from another Kotakuite saying he had seen Lost's mysterious string of numbers, "4 8 15 16 23 42" on a CRT computer screen in a blocked off room of the game's second level. Unfortunately he didn't include a screenshot so I had to let it go by, but now with this corroborating evidence, it's clear that the HL2 team is slipping in references to a favorite show. Has anyone else found Lost references n HL2? if so, be sure to send in a screenshot so we can add it to the dossier.

There's supposedly an Easter Egg in the Halo 3 E3 trailer. Although we like the Halo series loads and have even read the Eric S. Nylund books (although covertly position within the spine of Milan Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being), we have to admit that we're not quite fanatic enough to spot what the easter egg actually is. The Bungie.net forums hint that it may be the wobbling road sign, which is a Grunt Crossing sign (implying perhaps that Earth has made piece with the Covenant), or that Cortana's voice has been mixed with some Gravemind sampling. Anyone else got any better theories?
