This blog is about games and their place in popular culture written by a former educator who has gone back to school to retrain into a different field.
You will find articles surrounding a gaming community called Geezers in Arms from www.geezersinarms.com, film reviews, game reviews, comic reviews, book reviews, and a personal journal.
Everyone check out this new game called, "Contagion" by Monochrome Games. Contagion is a Cooperative Zombie Survival Horror FPS game built on a heavily modified version of Valve's Source Engine. Heavily influenced by Zombie Panic Source, and also claiming to be the "Spiritual Successor". Trying out the Roanoke PD map, but the game has various game modes to try out!
Eugene, Marcus, and other Survivors return in the spiritual successor of the popular Half-Life 2 Modification Zombie Panic: Source!
Contagion is a cooperative survival horror FPS built on the latest Source Engine where players are forced to watch their ammo and aim carefully otherwise be overrun by the zombie hordes. Players will face traditional zombies as well as former teammates who have been turned themselves and where friend becomes foe fueling the carnage to come.
In this walkthrough, we will will cover where to find the following Easter Eggs: QR codes, Half Life 2 logo, Teddy bear drill from Payday, developer credits/shout outs, and the Joker reference to the Dark Knight.
1# Half Life Logo
Location: Industrial Washing Machine
Easter Egg: Washing Machine Door
Comments: Some argue that the shape of the door and the style of the phrase "the cleaner" is a reference to Half Life 2. Here is a logo for comparison. I don't know to what to think about it but it does share an odd shape not known in most washing machines.
2# QR CODES
Location: Moving boxes found throughout the apartment
Easter Egg: QR Code
Comments: If you scan it with your cell phone it will say, "I LOVE SECRETS." This is an indication to look around for other easter eggs.
3# Teddy Bear Drill from Payday
Location: Teddy bear on couch
Easter Egg: Pink Teddy Bear has a hidden drill in it.
Comments: This is a reference to the mission No Mercy in the original payday.
4# The Dark Knight's the Joker
Location: Center of room that guards the secret entrance to the lower part of the safe house.
Easter Egg: Dark Knight Joker's Smile
Comments: Someone finally merged the two works together. The Joker smile is painted on the face of Lady Justice. In the original Payday, the guys rob banks using clown masks. In the beginning of "The Dark Knight" the joker robs a bank with a crew using a complicated elimination plan.
5# Developer Fan Credits and Shouts
Location: Back alley behind garage
Easter Egg: Several tags are fan references
Comments: The developers included a special thanks to several members of the gaming community that promoted the game through youtube and gaming articles. These guys have a special place in their hearts and minds. Pretty cool.
6# Answer the Phone
Location: Back Alley
Easter Egg: Answer the phone! Tag
Comments: Anyone trying to complete the missions on stealth will tell you just how important this is to doing so. This is more like advice than an easter egg. Though it can be found in the first payday.
Here is a really bad walkthrough video we attempted to make. Enjoy!
