We believe and hope to be true that, those steps are more oriented for novice players. That this gives them more of a meaning to play. While still continuing the Easter Eggs such as the ones in the previous level. With Electric Cherry, the HUD redesign, and these steps being said, we can infer that this is one of hopefully multiple Easter Eggs (story progressions). Also it says Don't forget this Al, a reference to The Weasel the character played by Joe Pantoliano.
We discussed this in our videos, we currently are finishing the last two videos and they should be up by the end of April 9th. (CST)
