Mig · 5th Oct 2007, 12:59

Peggle is given as an award if you pre-order the orange box on steam.

Johnathon Coulton eh? Didn't know that was his name, but I've heard that 'Code Monkey' track before...was pretty geeky, lyrically.

Redbeaver · 5th Oct 2007, 14:24

*not worthy*

My favourite Easter Egg was a smarties one that came with two bags of smarties and was resealable. I somehow got three bags of smarties and my brother only one.

As for the Easter Eggs you guys are on about, I have little to add. I hear about them from time to time but have actually seen few. And the ones I have have been dull.

The best easter egg ever:

Playing astro chicken in the SpaceQuest adventure series.

Cool! Code monkey and RE: Your brains are classic

Edit add : I've always had a certain fondness for the dopefish myself ;p

"Six if you count the easter egg which Valve has recently let slip about. "
I have not heard of such a thing, please tell.

What can i say, when i first heard code monkey, i was having a day best described as a motherlode of f*ck, had a meeting with my manager (really is called rob), about a damned login page/authentication code review. the opening verse just hit the nail on the head

Code Monkey get up get coffee
Code Monkey go to job
Code Monkey have boring meeting
With boring manager Rob
Rob say Code Monkey very dilligent
But his output stink
His code not "functional" or "elegant"
What do Code Monkey think?
Code Monkey think maybe manager want to write god damned login page himself
Code Monkey not say it out loud
Code Monkey not crazy, just proud

genius!!!!

as for best easter egg, dunno why but i love the old games master logo made out of sweets in zool....

or the "you shouldnt be here" messages in duke3d normally found with noclip on
or maybe the seagull from loom in DOTT, hell why not all lucas arts adventure games ever, they are positivly swimming in refferences and easter eggs
that or anything dopefish

It's out, and I've found the song - it's fun!

[USRF]Obiwan · 11th Oct 2007, 09:25

So is the song in the retailbox or also when you bought it through steam?

DarkReaper · 11th Oct 2007, 09:38

It'll be in the retail box. It's actually played in one of the games - but it's not about zombies!

HugoB · 11th Oct 2007, 10:42

For those interested, the song is in Portal and is played over the end credits - more info than that would spoil it I'm afraid
