Newsweek Easter Egg Reports Zombie Invasion

Posted by kdawson on from the it-takes-braaains dept.

danielkennedy74 writes "Newsweek.com becomes the latest in a long list of sites that will reveal an Easter egg if you enter the Konami code correctly (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, enter). This is a cheat code that appeared in many of Konami's video games, starting around 1986 — my favorite places to use it were Contra and Life Force, 30 lives FTW. The Easter egg was probably included by a developer unbeknownst to the Newsweek powers that be. It's reminiscent of an incident that happened at ESPN last year, involving unicorns."

    Only took 6 comments to slashdot this blog, probably shouldn't submit links to your site (and two no less!) if it's hosted with your home connection...

    And while you were wasting your time bitching on Slashdot, three projects were abandoned and two deadlines were missed.

    I'll see you in my office first thing in the morning.
