For this is one of those articles that really defines gamers and gaming. People often view gamers sitting in front of a screen wasting there time but it isn't. Gamers are out there exploring their world, finding "easter eggs" and sharing them back with the world. How often these days do people actually go out exploring these days vs gamers?
There is also the fact that their is an entire world for gamers to immerse themselves in, essentially a hobby that we can plug into to escape for our troubles. Some people have music, models, painting, writing, collecting, sport and we have gaming.
Lastly these secrets show something about the people who design games. I often find it amazing how developers leave these secrets coded in for us to find. They put in this extra effort so we have a better experience and it says something about their work, in both attention to detail and pride in their work.
My point in all this is that we are part of an amazing industry with dedicated developers and some seriously enthusiastic members.
Btw this thread is also a great way to highlight some great articles.
