When is an Egg an Easter Egg?
<.< actually.. my making this bring up a problem I've often had, when is a reference to something outside the game an easter egg? and when is it just a reference? o.o does the reddwarf and shakespear ones count? I'm not really sure ^^;;--Sleepy Kitty 11:01, 2 October 2006 (PDT)
- Personally, I wouldn't count references as easter eggs. I do think they need to be listed someplace, but easter eggs are hidden items. References are out in the open. They may be obscure (I believe nobody has yet come up with the book chapter references for issues 5-8), but they're there for everyone to see. I would count even the lengthy Baxter Building to Fantastic Four chain as reference, rather than easter egg.
- I'm finding it hard to come up with a good article title for references, though. Maybe Game Connections (to steal from the IMDb's "Movie Connections" idea) or Trivia References? -- StarGeekTalk page 12:24, 2 October 2006 (PDT)
- o.o of course, that will kill 2/3rds of what would be in here.. maybe a bit of restructering is in order.. as for name.. that could work, or maybe "InGame Connections" or something..
- >< though.. what about ones like the pic in hopitals of the dev team? it would seem to fit in both.. oh, and does anyone have a pic of that to add in? I went pigg diving for it, but couldn't find it and I don't recall where it was in the files.. I did find the jack-o-lanterns that are being added in with the halloween event though..--Sleepy Kitty 12:39, 2 October 2006 (PDT)
