Exactly what's so speacial about toilets? How is it an easter egg? Woah, there's a toilet in almost all the videos... That doesn't really signify anything - you're in a city, so toilets aren't all that crazy a thing to see. Plus, there are boxes, barrels and crates in pretty much every video, but they're just part of the scenery...
I fail to see why toilets would hold any significance whatsoever. A couple of people mentioned this AGES ago, but most people seemed to disagree because that would be just about the strangest most meaningless easter egg ever.

Of course I couyld be wrong, but if I am I'd love for someone to explain the significance to me...

Man, are you serious? I mean a toilet in a huge blue container, a toilet in the middle of a dried seabed (ok maybe not in the middle), that must be deliberate.

there is a new thread that jus closed. this person said he found the EGG.

he was "it is always on screen, it is gordons hands"

i think there must be something to do with gordons hands? i haven't noticed, but that might be because we always look at the graphics and not his hands. i am goin to go check

It's some kind of twisted riddle. He's trying to drive you insane.

If you watch the Buggy movie again you will see a bird flying around upside down.

I think it is possible that this is the easter egg and could be a joke about FPS games in general. Think back over the FPS games and there are so many that have toilet areas in them. In fact almost every FPS has other then ones like Battlefield and i think the Jedi knight series (although not the dark force series becase the original did have tiolets)

Maybe it is trying to be the game with the most tiolets in it

Like when you finnish the game, Alyx will do a nice strip for you, thats an easter egg!

 

[morpherex]

No... That's dumb.
