Twilight Princess Easter eggs & tin-foil hat conspiracies

electromagnetic fields, man!Green chus? Bottomless pits of water? Warp birds named after hexadecimal color codes? Maaaybe...

IGN forum poster yoshi117's list of Twilight Princess "Easter eggs" isn't entirely useless; in fact, it highlights many of the inconspicuous details that were sprinkled into Nintendo's heralded masterpiece.

Hidden games in Mac OS X


Mac OS X uses emacs as a text editor, which contains a number of hidden games including Snake, Tetris, Pong and a whole slew of others.
