* AllThereInTheManual: In the manual for the game, it's explained that Gordon accepted his position at Black Mesa at Kleiner's recommendation around 11 days prior to the Resonance Cascade, with the implication that Gordon started work only a day before the incident took place. Although this has since been {{retcon}}ned.

** You go down an ''Manga/{{AKIRA}}''-esque lift in "Unforeseen Consequences" (the first chapter after the Resonance Cascade), and then down a similar one at the beginning of "Lambda Core" (the last chapter to take place at Black Mesa). Just to reinforce it, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUOznZqo98E "Cavern Ambience"]] sounds in both times.

* BootstrappedLeitmotif: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF_SDgq5bp0 "Nuclear Mission Jam"]] was supposed to sound for the first time at the beginning of ''Apprehension'', during the short section with the railcar; however, the trigger for this instance seems to be glitched, so it doesn't play in the final game. Therefore, this song only plays right after the player acquires the Tau cannon, so most players think of this song as "the Tau cannon theme".

** Also the 25th Anniversary update swaps the fire modes for the satchel charges, with the secondary fire throws the satchels & the primary fire detonates the charges.
