My adventures through the Mad Max desert are taking me to discover unusual places and references worthy of Leonardo DiCaprio’s meme in the movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. That scene where he points at the screen. In fact, I recently found the reference to Just Cause 4 thanks to a friend.
Now, after having almost completely explored the southern area of the map, I return to tell you that I have found another reference. Without guides or help from Google. It was a genuine discovery… that obviously many of you will know. Or not. This is a reference to Half Life.
I was clearing the looting locations in the Dust Canyons area and found a small cave located to the south. There wasn’t much in terms of scrap metal, but the reference was very clear. It didn’t take me two seconds to establish the origin: Gordon Freeman de Half Life. Cardboard boxes, a wooden box with a 3, an almost decomposed corpse of a man with glasses and a mutilated arm holding a lever.
In case you don’t know him, Gordon Freeman is the protagonist of the Half Life video games and is recognizable throughout the world by three representative elements: crowbar, glasses and orange suit. In fact, he is considered one of the most iconic and greatest characters in video game history. Hence why he has a wink in Mad Max!
