Early Easter Eggs

Posted on the September 10th, 2007 under Websites by Ryman

There are a few sites that I consider worthy to be added on my bookmarks. Usually some of these sites are humorous/funny in nature or the informative-type, (the blogs and news sites are already in my Feed Reader so I’ve removed them from my bookmarks). Anyway, this site I’m going to introduce to you are both informative and humorous (depending on the content).

Enter the Easter Eggs Archive (eeggs.com) where it will help you find secrets awaiting discovery in various media sources. Not referring to the actual egg, but the virtual Easter Egg is a hidden message or feature in an object such as a movie, book, CD, DVD, computer program, or video game [Wikipedia].

Here is a sample Easter Egg found in your favorite Photoshop CS2 (might work on older versions). While Photoshop is open, hold CTRL+SHIFT then click (drag click if you are having trouble) on Help, then About. The About screen will change, depending on the Photoshop version you are using. Cool huh!!!

Here is another one from the latest Transformers movie, it’s more of a trivia than an Easter Egg. In the world of films one of the most fabled sound effects is that of the Wilhelm scream (look it up on wiki!) secretly used in a plethora of films from Star Wars to Lord of the Rings. So in Transformers at about 54:46 mins in, Sam kicks the Decepticon, Frenzy’s decapitated head and it’s scream…you guessed it, is a classic Wilhelm.
