What is an Easter Egg? The Endless Hunt for Gaming's Secret, Hidden Treasures

by devaccess



How many games have you beaten? No, I mean, really beaten. I’m talking about ones that you’ve invested countless hours in, turning over every stone, poring over every pixel, looking for any and every secret they contain within.

Gotta give credit where it's due. @randomkenny solved the full way to unlock secret ending of PayDay 2. His twitch stream was almost 2 weeks of continuous trial and error to get a result. Even decoded a hieroglyphic language. He's truely dedicated to the game.
