I forgot how many goats we added to the mod xD There used to be an animated one but the texture kept breaking on it and it would be bright purple so we replaced it with the shadow goat that watches you. There used to be a set of goats having a tea party on the long elevator ride down at the start of the game but we removed them as we weren't sure if it would cause issues (Things that move and are parented can be weird in Hammer). Good job on finding all of them! The biggest thing you missed was the big Borealis poster in the offices when you first meet Virgil. Also the voice line about Chris spelling station wrong was a genuine mistake and is referenced again with the texture in the end credits.

Good findings, didn't know about some of these. Although one of my favorites, which also made me laugh like crazy, is missing. In few places you can see the word STATOION with the O crossed out and I thought “so that guy who got fired before must be responsible for this“. Then, in the credits, I saw it again next to one of the devs named Chris and immediately I knew they meant him and at some point he must have done the mistake during the development. Later I saw some dev commentary videos and indeed, Chris didn't realize his mistake even after they told him something's wrong so they would "fire" him whenever they had a chance as a running joke. :D

For those who are a bit confused with the Crazy Harry thing, it's a reference to both Crazy Harry from "The Muppet Show" as well as Harry Callaghan. I wrote it initially to be JUST the Crazy Harry reference, as at the time I was watching a little more of The Muppet Show than I care to say and thought that the name drop was a little funny. We also had Harry Callaghan on the team, so it worked out that it could do both references, Henson and Callaghan. But the original intent was The Muppet Show.

9:29 the companion cube is a reference to portal 2, where there is a companion cube hidden in the rubble when you first get the duel portal gun. It also dissolves when you pick it up, and Glados has a line.
Remember "Oh Fiddlesticks"? Yeah, the dev team replaced that with a goat sound.

4:09 I think he's referring to Nigel at the end of the aperture tag alternate ending where you don't die and because he says "I know some other cores have a problem with telling the truth." and Nigel says "why do you even bother with exploring your surroundings. It's not like you're gonna encounter a life changing moment." But I could always be wrong.

I could be wrong (and I probably am) but the poster at 12:35 is a reference to another in development Portal 2 mod called "Portal 2 Repercussions." The mod features another custom portal gun that looks very similar if not exact to the one on the poster. Sadly the mod appears to be on indefinite hiatus as it has not been updated in 3 years. (Still holding out hope that the developer returns someday.)

Also another hidden part, when you go outside the testing track and you need a cube to block the laser if you arrive with the cube before he can rant about how hard it is to move from point A to B outside the testing tracks, he'll commend you for being prepared and asks if you've done this before.

10:45 look at the little circle with a cube, that looks like the black mesa logo
For the logo, I make note that international "NO" sign is over it. This is a direct reference to Cave Johnson's bitter rivalry with Black Mesa.
you can also solve the test where you leave the over grown part of the game (specifically the test with a lazer, reflection cube, and 2 emancipation grills and buttons yes it can be solved but it leads to a ded end and I was kinda confused as the second time I played this mod was years after the first time so I forgot that that chamber you had to just portal out of.
Oooohhh, would i love there to be more portal (but sadly the cannon story of the aperture-mesa is over, except for the whole “eli dying thing but i think we’re over that by now)
The thumbnail I thought was saying there was going to be a referance to the turdise in goat sim
