Easter Eggs

Hi All,

Easter 2015 might have come and gone, but if you are a gamer there is always an easter egg to be found.  Let me explain.

In computer game parlance - and, for that matter, media -an easter egg is an intentional inside joke, hidden message, or feature in a computer game, video game, movie, book or crossword puzzle.  Click here for a quick summary and description from Wikipedia.

So...for some gamers who view this blog...here is a list of some popular Easter Egg sites. But...before you go on to the various sites, you might want to visit Gizmodo's article titled, 'A Brief History of Easter Eggs in Tech'. 

Now... on to the Easter Eggs!

Computer Gaming Websites

Hi All,

It is a bright, sunny Monday afternoon here in Farmingdale! What better way to meet the day (okay, by the time I am posting it is early afternoon) with a post talking about....computer gaming websites.

It used to be - years and years ago - that computer games were looked up on by non-gamers as being, well 'odd' or 'out-of-the mainstream'. Well, thanks to the ubiquity of computers and the internet, that is not the case anymore. Click here for an article that speaks to this fact.

And this article also.

Most of the hardcore gamers who play computer games are probably familiar with the various websites that are available. The bulk of the rest of this post discusses - lists - some of the more popular computer game websites.
