Possible little Easter Egg(sort of)

[mulder]

Has anyone else noticed this ...(i havent seen anyone mention making this connection...so sorry if its been posted)

That after finishing the game, and you let all the credits roll, you then hear the scientist calling for the his pet headcrab Lamaar .He says.."where has she gone now..." You see Lamarr jump around and then thats the end.

It took me awhile to realize , after wondering why he named a female headcrab Lamarr. (rotfl )

He named it after the movie star from the 40's ...Hedy Lamarr. (get it? Hedy/Head (crab) Lamarr ?

I just wonder if anyone one else made that connection...

Someone at Valve must like old movies...

well, aint that cool... though I never heard of that actress before.

Old. Mentioned. But I congratulate you on figuring it for yourself.

You hear him call her Hedy ("but I can't leave without Heady!") then you hear him call her Lamarr ("oh Lamarr!") . I think it's presented pretty straightforward, just you wouldn't know it unless you knew who she was.

I knew about the Lammar animation at the end of the HL2 credits but not the actress thing

Good find! :thumbs:

I knew both about the post-credit thing and the actress thing, but it seemed like many didn't know this, so it was worth posting.

 

[Danimal]

I don't have raising the bar, you see.

 

[glitched_firewal]
