Personal Inquiry - Second Draft

I still want to talk about gaming in my early childhood but instead of talking about the games I used to play as a whole I've now decided to talk about what made me fall in love with them so much. Glitches, Faults, Easter Eggs, I love anything and everything to do with them, I feel like they add a whole new spin to what ever you're playing.
The reason their actually known as Easter eggs is because it was a Russian tradition to give these beautifully designed eggs covered in expensive jewels and filled with wonderful surprises, Carl Fabergé's eggs now sell for millions and the idea has been passed though history in addition to the western tradition of egg hunting during Easter. These two traditions of Egg hunting and beautiful surprises together formed the concept of Easter Eggs within games.

You'd often come across such things because of how the game works, the way your character jumps/runs/dies/falls, there's almost always a way to get outside the map on most games pre-2010 but game developers regrettably have to fix these bugs because most consumers find them irritating; I find them quite the opposite, it's always a great laugh when you have the upper-hand over your opponents because of a cheat that only you seem to know and at the end of the day everyone ends up finding out how to do it anyway so it levels the playing field.

Obviously there are other people like me who love finding what game developers leave in for the fans which is one of the reasons why the Portal series was so popular. Finding one of the Rat Mans den's for the first time was just delightful, starting the game you know virtually nothing, other than you're a prisoner trapped in a lab, forced to trial various harmful experiments, then as if by complete accident you have the chance to stumble across this small room on the other side of the bleak grey walls. Writing everywhere, most of which is quite repetitive to show the insanity of your predecessor but all of it leaves you asking more questions, almost none of which are answered in game.
Cleverly leaving this information out of the game allowed Valve to sell multiple side stories and products piecing together the Rat Mans real identity which goes to show that there is a clear market for unlocking secrets, one in which some company's take liberty's, not revealing anything until you buy all the available Downloadable Content. Bringing me back full circle to why I love Easter eggs and glitches so much, it's something that's totally free within your already made purchase that makes everything 10% more exciting with each new find.
