Weird thing in Kleiner's lab

[jaq]

Hi guys. I know there has been a talk about easter eggs but I don't think anybody has noticed that:

and zoomed:

What the hell is that? Looks like a kiwi painted on a baloon
I've sent Gabe an e-mail but he doesn't respond.

And one more:

CS forearm. Texture/poly count is lower than the rest of the model. But i think this one has already been discussed.

EDIT: typos

If you're talking about the scanner (the one flying around outside) then it's one of your enemies. I think their job is to fly around locate humans that must be killed. It reminds me of Minority Report.

Haha, they're not ballons...

EDIT: And she does say: Scanners!! Let's get out of here...

That is one of those scanners! Nothing new, hehe

But other scanners look significally different. Look at the zoomed picture. It looks.. weird.

 

[Frank]

Which other scanners are you talking about? The ones in the official teaser?

Yeah, Alyx looks out the window and says "Scanners!". You see them more in the Half Life 2 Trailer. (Not the 600mb E3 video).

What do you think Alyx is looking at?
What do you think they are considering after Alyx looks at them, she turns back and says "Scanners"!!

That is not the CS forearm.

... or easter eggs!

Well... there is a scanner on the table, right? It sure looks different. It's color is plain unlike that white-green-orange something.

Besides it moves in a weird way.

(talking about bink videos).

edit: and BTW, look at an early version of Alyx. :]

You don't see the scanner from the front on the table. The green orange thing is a light on the front.

I think it changes colour when it notices something.
