Well the most significant one(s) I found must be...

[spoiler]...the huge potato battery was made by Chell (see)
...there's a hidden figure/person in the Cave/Caroline painting (one, two)
You have to mess around with Photoshop or some such program to boost the levels to see the hidden figure.

Now it's kinda hard to see what exactly that hidden figure is supposed to be, but I can't help but feeling that we're being told that Chell is in fact the daughter of Cave and Caroline.[/spoiler]

Other than that there's lots of Rattmann dens, but apart from being references to the comic I haven't gleaned anything new or meaningful from them.

[spoiler]Chell couldn't possibly be Cave's and Caroline's daughter. Too different epochs.[/spoiler]

Hey there.

I have played the Portal 2 co-op mode 8 times now.
I still want to play it again ^^

Here is what I have found:

mp_coop_lobby_2:
- the two displays showing some random text contains the recipe for the cake (portal 1 - cake)
=> stay in front and zoom-in - you can find eggs, sugar, coconut, vanilla, etc.

- next to the displays (right side) you can see a small lamp (use it: voice of the turrets)

- there is a hidden cube on the last map of chamber 4
(place the funnel (beam) so that you pass the building on the other side)

and i also found a bug in last map of chamber 5:
- in the room where you have to kill the turrets with the fluid
- you can also kill them by using two portals (one above, one next to them)
- you can jump onto the floor and kill them, by knocking 1 out
=> the floor becomes blue (fluid) and game crashes

Regards
PortalCombat

P.S.: Iam loocking for some new co-op maps, please contact me!

Singleplayer Easter Egg (just found this today):
In the Wheatley testchamber where he's [spoiler]zapped for trying to help you[/spoiler], check the console after either time he's [spoiler]zapped[/spoiler].

[spoiler]"!!!!!!!!JOLT!!!!!!!!"[/spoiler]

Oh, and mind blown by the potato thing.

[spoiler]How so? The painting is found in the 1972 level and Chell might just be a couple of years old at that point. That would make her around 40 at the time of Portal 1, but she spent some time in the relaxation vault before Portal 1 so that might subtract a significant amount of years. They're definitely not epochs apart.[/spoiler]

Nice find on the painting.
[spoiler]I'd think that if Chell were Caroline's daughter then GLADoS would have realized it at the end of Portal 2 and said something about it. Then again, GLADoS is a strange character with complex motives, so it's hard to know what to believe.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Cave and Caroline lived and were fairly old enough as early as in 1940s. Aperture Fixtures already received an award during that time..[/spoiler]

[spoiler]And on that note, Chell isn't THAT old. I once saw videos called "Chell's Mind" where she was referred to as being 22 and then it stuck in my head-canon.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Cave certainly is that old but it's only really Caroline's age that is in question here. The first we hear from Caroline is in the intro to the 1950ies series of tests. If we assume she's a fresh 18-20 year old at that time she'd still be under 40 by 1970 and therefore perfectly capable of carrying a child.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Regardless of all this, what else is the figure in the painting supposed to be? It was obviously purposefully hidden, so the reveal should mean something. I can't think of an alternative explanation.[/spoiler]

Link? Reference? [spoiler]Chell in the original game always struck me as a slightly atypical game hero; less pretty and definitely older than game heroes usually are.[/spoiler]
