Timestamps:
00:41 - 02:50 - #1 Exploring the Intro worldscape outside of the cutscene
Enabling the console:

02:50 – 03:22 - #2 The location of the room where the player character is Embraced

03:22 - 04:10 - #3 Small details of branding textures on the condoms/lubricant that the player character uses

04:10 – 04:30 - #4 Apparently the phone's operator is "Vamps R' Us"

04:30 – 05:43 - #5 There are some humorus, but rather hard to read labels on the pill bottles in the intro

05:43 – 06:00 - #6 Interestingly enough, the doors to the room in the intro are completely functional and you can open/close them yourself using the use key

06:00 – 07:41 - #7 A demonstration of how the skyboxes in Source "project" themselves around the screen. It actually works like that in every Source game, I believe, and it's better explained/showcased in this video:

07:41 – 09:52 - #8 There's an interesting horror comic book strip on the floor in the office with the "chopshop" keycard. It turns out it's an infamous "Chick-tract", a comic by a relligion-obsessed man Jack T. Chick convinced that RPGs are a gateway to Satanism, which makes it's placement in a WoD game even more hillarious. A better resolution of that particular image and more info here:

09:52 – 10:52 - #9 There's a direct reference to Stephen King's "The Shining" on the desk in the same room, although I have another theory about it's significance to Bloodlines in particular... Here's the scene from "The Shining": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeOevu4zC5o

10:52 – 11:20 - #10 There are a couple of interesting stickers on one of the machines, among them one that declares "prison rape" as an "american tradition". Ouch!

11:20 – 11:44 - #11 In the Santa Monica Haven there is some asbestos pizza. Yummy!

11:44 – 12:15 - #11 In the Haven's bathroom there are a couple of funny labels on the shampoo

12:15 – 13:47 - #12 There's a clear reference to Howard Philipps Lovecraft and his Cthulhu Mythos in one of the TV news stories

13:47 – 14:42 - #13 The derelict ship "The Elizebeth Dane" is a reference to John Carpenter's movie "The Fog"

"The Elizabeth Dane" music** theme from the movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WSaxCBwhQ8

14:42 – 15:42 - #14 You can actually reach the newscaster and see his "studio", because much like the skybox, he is actually "projected" onto the TV screen from a physical location within the map.
Here's how it works in Half-Life 2, another Source engine game:
