Kino Der Toten - Why no EE?

[Vallkure]

So, we have all heard the discussion about whether or not there is a large easter egg on Kino Der Toten, right? Most theories involve the use of fuse boxes in a certain order, monkeys in the teleporter, and doing other random things in dog rounds. Could it be possible that we as a community have overlooked something as major as a Kino EE?

The answer is no. We have already found all the easter eggs in Kino. While these eggs may seem unimportant, they are vital to the storyline and general atmosphere of the map.

First, the paper under the stairwell was a bit tricky to find, and almost impossible to read unless you have a sniper rifle. It is almost identical to the paper found in the ceiling above the red jar/single spinal column jar in Der Riese, just with a different message and date. It has a diagram of an element or chemical, possibly Nova 6.

Next is the second egg: The tiny paper on the box on top of the stage. An interesting little message about the effects of 115.

Third: the writing on the wall. The names, Beware of the 6(referring to Nova Gas or Nova Crawlers), etc.

Fourth, and personally the most interesting: the windows in the alley. One to the left of the window spawn near the chain-link gate, the other near the alley box spawn. When you look into them you get VERY low-def view of another room. And in one of the window's case, you get a nice, or not so nice, view of the portrait room.

Fifth, you get the teleporter related Easter Eggs such as the rooms and the PaP Room. In the rooms you get tapes relating to the radios found throughout the map. In the Teddy Room (Day Time) you can see our four characters represented by little toys/figurines.

Sixth, the screaming in the MP40 Room, although you can also hear in the bathroom hallway near the portrait room.

And speaking of portraits, we have our mystery man. It could be a number of people, including people who may not have been introduced yet, but it may very well be the Mexican Subject introduced in the Call of the Dead Radio. Plus, we get the introduction of the Dreamland Theory via characters' quotes.

And don't forget the musical Easter Egg. So do we really need a massive easter egg on top of that? There are easter eggs, just several small ones instead on one massive one.

Just wanted to ramble for a bit. Thanks for reading. :)

People do seem to be more tied up in the Big Easter Eggs to bother searching about for this little Easter Eggs nowadays. And Kino is vital to the storyline. The facility where Maxis presented the Teleporter and the Mind Control.
