About the CS:S Boot Room:
Many mapmakers will hide secret rooms with strange objects or pictures out of bounds to act as a sort of "watermark".
That way if the map is republished by another person, the original creator can prove that they made the map by revealing the watermark room that others were unaware of. You can find thousands of examples of this in third-party GMod maps.

Fun fact! The mirror effect in bayonetta is what happens if the skybox is missing textures... I think, i only know this because it happens commonly in gmod

[GaryStango]

My immediate thought for the boot room is the 1997 movie Cube. In each cubed room, the first thing they do is toss a single boot into the room to see if it is trapped.

11:28 I love how when the character die. He just T-Pose

[JJMcCullough]

You know what would be cool? Talking about hidden stuff in game boxes, instruction manuals, etc.

The shoe belongs to your character and is sleeping. It wakes up when you shoot it, realizes it should be on your foot, and teleports there so you don't buy a new pair instead.

I lost years of my life to Guild Wars 2, and I have only a few, fragmented memories of it. Any time I think about the game, I experience an incredibly eerie sensation. I have no idea why this game that I sunk SO MUCH time into has all but evaporated from memory.

I actually got more of the text. I did this by slowing the video down before you got to the door with the G-Man. Once I did that, I started to slow down the video even more but trying to go frame-by-frame by just rapidly pressing the pause button(or in the case, the space bar). Was kinda difficult to read due to the graphics being quite shoddy, but hope this helps.

under observation. Galvanic activation with seve~
~cidence of seizure and muscular catatonia, recoi~

~reeman, Gordon: increased activity in neural iso~

1st line: cut word could possibly be "severe", which would fit in with the rest of the passage which sounds a awful lot like a medical or clinical diagnosis.
3rd line: cut word are likely "activity"; "titration" might be the actual word in the sentence, or it could be a word that ends in "~titration".
4th line: cut word is obviously Freeman; "iso" could be related to anything
7th line: cut words are obviously -"and"- and "suppression" (incorrect assumption on "~nd", now it can be re-classed as being "beyond"

Theory: The Combine are creating a serum meant to suppress the amygdala, most likely in a brainwashing attempt. They are either using Gordon as a test subjects, as might be the case with the word "simulation", or Gordon is interfering with their work.

PS: They can't spell since they swapped the "g" and "y" in Just to clarify, I am writing things as they wrote it...

EDIT: Added in more lines that I was able to get...

2:25 The Bayonetta 2 room, while out of bounds, is a common occurrence in games. It's a black void because there is no skybox, and the graphics glitch out because the refresh rate is zero.

For the fallout 76 dev room, I think the reason beth went so hard on the bans is because people were taking hidden/incomplete items from there, duplicating them, and selling for real cash. It also required some kind of third party cheats to access, not just a clipping glitch or something, so accessing it by itself was banworthy

[ThatCreepyReading]

So the GW2 room faces is actually a character called Cadacus, and this area was eventually used in a living story mission. Looks like they had that area in the game for awhile since that was a boss room.

[andrewabate]

The bayonata “easter egg” is just the screen not getting rid of the frames, if you go on gmod and fly out of a map some times it does that

[Houston]

5:00 CS maps are known for hidden little easter eggs out of bounds. Wooden giraffes, hidden messages, ... You could fill a whole video with them

[KIager]

Probably just a dated ceiling cat meme.

[glitched_one]

Back when i used to make maps for people on CS source, some people asked me to make rooms like that for people who were cheating, we called them ban rooms or "boot" rooms, where you would teleport and trap them in those rooms instead of kicking them out of the servers

[Robotron]

The reason for the severity of punishment for fallout 76 dev room is because people were selling the stuff for real money.

[straydogbite]

I love that you find the Easter eggs and secrets that other people don't cover, it makes your videos really stand out, great work please keep making awesome videos!

[monkeysstalkingbananas]

That half-life thing is so creepy lmao

[BladedAngel]

7:40 OH C'MON. That's obvoiusly a meme!
420 Blaze it. 69 sex position. the 20 in 420 is also a reference to rule 20 of the Internet, which is that Rule 71 is very important! Then of course, 34 as in rule 34.

[hines]

The bayonetta 2 one is just a lack of a skybox behind the door
