Hello everyone!
I've played Fahrenheit for the very first time some weeks ago and it took me just an afternoon to finish it (good ending).
It was pretty fun yet a bit hard.
Anyway, I've noticied two inside jokes in the game that nobody seems to care about (Google gives me back no results about it).
1/ The police used a Commodore 64
When searching for the police records in the basement, Carla actually type on a Commodore 64.
You can see the keyboard at 3:13 in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDvNdXdNWBI
It's easy to recognise because of the function keys to the right, the isolated space bar and the size of the special keys (shift, enter, etc...)
Here is a photo for comparaison http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9d/Commodore64.jpg
2/ Lame French joke (only when playing in French, of course)
Believe it or not, but it seems that Garrett's name was choosed on purpose to make a dummy, yet popular French joke (remember, the team behind this game is French).
When Carla is at the double murder scene (at the laundromats/landrettes) she first talk to Garrett ending the conversation by "Merci, Garrett" which sounds exactly like... "cigarette".
So here you go, I hope that was seriously instructive :P
If you've found some other weird things or if I'm wrong, just let me know!
