Could it be from EA?

Might be. I tried to do WHOIS search for those domains but the registrant names are secret. :-/

A few more easter eggs to go! This requires much more of a closer inspection.

1. The P&K SecuMail Server ID version 1.9.84 shown on the red PC's screen with the job resignation email is a reference to George Orwell's 1984.

2. The name, Milton, scribbled on a note is most probably a reference to the 'squirrely looking guy' in Office Space.

3. Another reference to Office Space, the legendary red Swingline stapler is found on one of the desks inside Shard's server room.  http://www.virtualstapler.com/office_sp … _looks.jpg

4. The "Vegade 5-day-in-a-can drink" advertising found all over the city is most likely a reference to Soylent Green.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_Green

Oh someone please post the voicemail messages up here, and also the advertising in the lifts! Thanks!

P.S. Look at warning signs around the city and you can see them in different languages; Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese and Russian.

EDIT: I was curious and decided to google 'Newstream Energy', apparently the city's energy corporation and guess what I've found? http://www.newstreamenergy.com/ Check it out!

That Newstream Energy site also has the same meta data as PirandelloKruger.com

"<meta name="88.7" content="A begining continues...">"

Who's making this stuff XD?

In the source code of www.pirandellokruger.com, it says:

Code:

I checked the Exif-metadata on all the images from newstreamenergy and pirandellokruger and in pirandellokruger/image2.jpg I found this:

Picture description: Who are you?, are you trying to get me killed?

Your name is a lie, your code was wrong, they found me, you led them to me.

But I escaped, I always escape, it's what I do, It's all I do.

Before it was only personal, for what you had taken from me.
But things have changed, they always change, and for you, they have not changed for the better.

I'll find you, but don't worry, you won't see me coming, none of you will.

I've noticed that in the Ropeburn level (at the subway section) there's a Half Life reference.  On the scrolling marque it states "Have a safe and productive day".  This statement was made by the PA system during the tram ride at the beginning of the game.  It ties nicely with the subway context of ME.




I also thought it funny how in the "office space" of Pirandello/Kruger level, there's a big difference between Mark's and Milton's desks.  Mark is obvious a slob since his desk area is littered with trash, crushed soda cans, and paper everywhere.  Milton's desk is complete opposite - totally organized down to how everything is placed around right angles.  You can imagine this guy being obsessively anal about things (like the main character from the tv series Monk) and the two coworkers getting on each other's nerves since they're so different and share office space together.

Where did you find that dude on the chair??!

Yeah, in the Pirandello Kruger facility right before being chased by the pursuit cops there are 4 interrogation rooms:

1st one on left: Empty.
1st one on right: Blood on floor, chair is knocked over.
2nd one on right: Empty.
2nd one on left: Mark Schooner tied to chair.

Hello! New here! Saw this thread and I thought I'd make my contribution.

  I was looking for a way to attain some mp3's of some of the background music in Mirror's Edge (preferably by getting the sound files straight from my computer as I have the PC version). The files are packaged up into .upk files, so I had to spend some time searching for a program to extract the files within. I did find one made for ME (don't remember where. google it =\), and proceeded to look at the .ogm files for the correct music.
     During my search, I found a file named BF_Casino_theme.ogm. It's only a few seconds long, but sure enough, it plays a techno-ish version of the theme song from DICE's Battlefield  Series! I'm not sure if it is actually played somewhere in the game, but I thought that was a pretty nifty little thing to find.

When you drop down from the vent (underneath the cargolift) into the hallway, second window to your left (I think).

Yup, I didn't notice that I could look through the windows on my first run(s) through the place. Only later did I see the overturned chair with the blood on the floor and the other chair that's just sitting there. Missed the guy (who supposedly is Mark) tied to the chair, though, will have to look for him.

I've noticed that in the Ropeburn level (at the subway section) there's a Half Life reference.

Probably been mentioned and not really that hidden, but doesn't The Shard really look a lot like that huge blue skyscraper in City 17 in Half-Life 2? First time I saw that building I was like, "wow, that really looks like The Shard!".


As for the 88.7, that's probably just the radio frequency. Doesn't have to be runner-related, could be a frequency they know someone (the November people?) is planning to use for something. That, or it's a longtitude or latitude. Being Norwegian, I know (or at least I'm very certain) that 88.7 would be really far north, off the northern tip of the Scandinavian peninsula, but I don't know about a west-east position.

I also found it! There is also a second file with 'lift' in it's name and it's located under A_M_SP09  folder, so I'll start searching and listening all lifts in 9th level - The Shard.

//Edit:
I made a video regarding that case: [CLICK]
Sadly, I didn't find that music during playing 9th level and I tried all lifts, even with guns , and nothing.

i think i know what this means,

I have been learning about conformity in english this year at school and i believe this is a picture that shows conformity and faith being an individual [Faith being the one that doesn't look like everyone else]
