I was an author in 2010? “The X-Files” that didn’t catch on.

Hello people. I haven’t been present on blogs for a very long time and generally disappeared from the SG radar. I didn’t stop playing games, but I ran out of free time for any other activity. Probably it’s because my son was born or because I started spending more time at work… I don’t even know. )))

Today, when I was driving to work, I remembered that back in 2010 I wrote a small column on the First Game. Stopgame was a site about cracks and porn back then, and I was young and handsome.

My pilot episode from

long ago lost in video and audio format and remained in my mail only in the form of text. Below you can read and give your assessment. Maybe it’s worth reviving it?

Good afternoon with you (Name of presenter) and this is the X-Files. A program that will show and evaluate all the most interesting Easter eggs. Easter egg or Easter bunny. Easter Egg, slang Easter egg) is a type of secret left in a game, film or software by the creators. The difference between an Easter egg in a game and a regular game secret is that its content, as a rule, does not fit into the overall concept, looks implausible and ridiculous in context, and is often an external reference. Easter eggs play the role of peculiar jokes for attentive players or spectators. Most often, to “receive” an Easter egg, a complex and/or non-standard set of actions must be performed, which makes it unlikely or virtually eliminates accidental discovery. Our program will tell you how and where to find the most interesting Easter eggs.

In this issue you can expect:
— Heart at the Statue of Liberty.
— An inflatable girl in a real male action movie.
— A huge fish in the painted world of Bonderlands.
— Mars rover in the game Red Faction.
— Broken physics Extreme Psychics Deluxe and Painter’s Message from the game World of Goo.
— Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in World of Warcraft.
— Destroyable cows during the time of Saboteur.
— Belly dancing in FEAR.
— Three secrets from X-Men Origins.
— Easter Bunny from Saint Row 2..
— And also a small altar dedicated to the legendary figure.

Everyone imagined themselves as a superhero or an impenetrable tough nut with a huge gun at the ready. And the game Modern Warfare 2 really helps us feel like a tough special forces soldier. But there are also disadvantages to this difficult and very interesting profession.

In one of the missions of the popular game Modern Warfare 2, a special forces team must capture a house where terrorists are sitting. It would seem that this is unusual? What’s interesting to us, however, is that you can find an inflatable girl in one of the bathtubs in the house. Yes. Yes. The most real inflatable girl. Well, you can see it yourself on the screen. We understand everything and do not condemn poor terrorists. Imagine sitting in ambush, alone, in a house without women, for many weeks. It’s horrible. Although why is she lying in an old bathtub, without water, and not in a bed, for us this will remain an unsolved mystery of the game developers.

Inflatable girls are a thing of the past. How do I know this? But because recently at an exhibition in Japan a real Robot Girl was demonstrated. But the cost is 35,000 dollars… But still, our program is about Easter eggs in games and now I will tell you about the suburbs of Paris.
In the meadow, in the meadow, in the meadow, cows are grazing… That’s right, cows. An interesting Easter insert awaits us in the game Saboteur. To find it, the protagonist must travel to the countryside from the beautiful city of Paris, between completing missions and destroying Nazis with explosives. It’s not difficult to drive around in any car and find beautiful cows. And now if you crash into any cow, it will simply fall apart. We don’t know what cows are made of in the game. But the meat looks very natural. It’s quite possible that we came across a developer who “really” loves cows.

I just want to put on a https://yaybingocasino.uk/mobile-app/ cap, sit by the tractor, pick a blade of grass and look at the clouds for a long time. Oh, dreams, dreams. Well, while I’m dreaming, look at the Easter egg about the fisherman and the fish and the mysterious hero.

To find the next Easter egg, we visited the mysterious world of the planet Pandora in the game Borderlands. The action takes place in a secret dock in the northeastern part of the game world. Since the planet is inhabited by bandits and criminals of all stripes, who completely despise the law and human rights, our brave hero cannot just reach his goal. And he will have to fight his way out. But not only people are obstacles to the goal. A wall grows in our path, preventing us from moving forward. But she has an invisible step that helps us climb over the fence. Having jumped over the obstacle without any problems, we move on. Now we can calmly continue to develop a plan to take over the world with the help of talking robots or hypnotizing frogs… We will be distracted from our dreams by two guards, whom we can kill with a clear conscience. Moving further towards the Easter egg, the main character must get lost a little and look for the way. This is of course not easy because there is only one road and has no branches. Seeing a glimpse of the sea in the distance, you can quickly speed up without hesitation. Having finally found the pier, we are faced with the most complex and cleverly hidden Easter egg ever seen in a game. It took a very long time to find her. From any weapon we must first shoot at the yellow barrel, then at the green one on the island, at the blue one on the pier on the right and the red one next to it. Now close your eyes if you don’t want to see, then why did we actually come here?. Red fish and rider… I wonder how he breathes..

And he threw a net into the sea and caught a mutant fish. I feel there will soon be a sensation from a fisherman who caught a similar fish on the banks of the Moscow River. Well, now you will learn an interesting secret from the most popular online game.

The next Easter rat is quite unusual. It can be found in the dungeons of Dalaran in the game World of Warcraft. The little rat was tested at level 80, which indicates his extraordinary power. Even seasoned gamers of the world of Warcraft would be jealous of such success. And he is surrounded by four little turtles. Doesn’t remind me of anything? Obviously this is a direct reference to all children’s favorites: the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Let us recall that the adventures of the brave quartet began after they drank mutagen and, under the leadership of the wise rat Splinter, learned the skills of the ninja and found popular love. These are the amazing heroes we met.

When I was little, I also watched the adventures of this amazing quartet. Nostalgia… And when I was little, I wanted to become an astronaut. Yes, everyone probably wants to become an astronaut. Fly in zero gravity, visit amazing planets. And computer games help us feel like a hero of alien worlds.

Red Faction 3. Actually an Easter egg here from the past to the future. You can find it if you go from the base on the northeastern part of the map to the mountains, following the previously placed marker. Picture please. Having placed a marker at this inconspicuous point on the map, Alex Mason, and also the main character, must get to it by all possible means. Stopping at the side of the road, you need to get out of the car and walk through a small labyrinth. At the end, we will see a real Mars rover. What’s amazing is that the rover survived despite the conditions of a changed climate on Mars and sandstorms. Apparently the Americans made it to last for centuries, and it stores soil samples that no one will take away.

“The Russians have invented a Mars rover that takes soil samples from the American one” – alas, this is not news from the world of astronautics, but an ordinary joke. But nothing stops us from believing. By the way, our next Easter egg came to us from America, albeit virtual.

Cards, money, two guns. I’m talking about GTA. In the fourth part of one of the most popular games of our time, the main character can steal a helicopter. Using it you need to go to the virtual Statue of Liberty and jump onto one of the ledges. There is no other way to get to the ledge that you see on the screen. After running around the ledge for a circle and a half and all the time saying Sim-sim-open, we can easily do what all robbers dream of, but more on that later. To determine the location of our Easter egg, we must find an inscription near one of the dead-end passages that reads: “There is nothing at the end of this path.”. As you may have guessed, we can refute these empty statements from the developers. The arch without a door near the inscription is actually a wall that you can walk through. Oh, if only banks had walls like this. There will be a ladder inside that we can climb up. And here we have a miracle! Living heart of a stone statue. I wonder if she has other organs??

In a dark, dark, night, in a dark, dark, city, evil, evil developers create their own scary, scary games. I’m talking about Horror because our next Easter egg was found in one very interesting and exciting game F.E.A.R

Are you afraid of horror games?? I’m a little, but that didn’t stop me from finding a little Easter egg in the game F.E.A.R. On one of the many levels, wandering through the dark corridors, shying away from every rustle in the corners where monsters live, I found a small secret room. Apparently, a maniac once lived in it, which was only confirmed by traces of fresh blood on the ceiling. However, I was not able to find any corpses… After a couple of shots at the wall and ventilation, a secret room will open, where a charismatic fat man in a Hawaiian shirt performs a belly dance… You have a portion of shrapnel, and we will go on to shoot all sorts of evil spirits.

Eh. There aren’t as many horror films as there are, for example, films. Speaking of films. In games you can often see Easter eggs or allusions to famous works of cinema. As, for example, in one very popular franchise.

Mutants…Not evil, but good. Yes, especially in the leading roles. You guessed right. This is X-Men Begins. A game that is replete with interesting Easter eggs. At the very beginning of the game, if you fight a little… Well, maybe you can do it faster? This is just right. We must break down the inconspicuous wall. In the middle of the opened passage, we find a very hatch, one to one copied from the popular TV series LOST. Apparently the creators really love this series. Also at the level where we run away after an experiment on the main character, we must turn on the beast’s vision and climb onto an inconspicuous ledge. Run up the fallen tree and find a sword there. Yes, a real sword from the game Word of Warcraft! It’s a shame you can’t take it out. And in the mission with teleporters, if you move the teleporter a little outside the room, you can find a small cake.

Cakes are very popular in games, but secret text messages are perhaps the most popular. For example, newspapers with news from developers or letters in game folders are very common. They can be found by performing a certain action or simply digging in the root folder of the game.

One very cute arcade game Crayon Physics Deluxe hides a message from the game developer himself. In this project, let us remind you that every object drawn with colored chalk behaves according to the laws of physics; if you display several huge scribbles on the screen one after another, a sad message from the creator will appear: “You broke my game. The physics engine can’t handle that many items on screen, unfortunately you’ll have to start the level over again."It’s touching, isn’t it??

And in another cute arcade World of Goo, in the root folder of the game, an interesting message awaits us. It was left by the Painter, who throughout the game gave us interesting comments during our adventure. The message reads: “If you edit this file, your computer will explode. Painter.“Well, let’s take his word for it.”.

I wonder what will happen if you break not the game, but the computer? Maybe there’s something inside somewhere? While I’m breaking down my workstation, check out another Easter egg.

Everyone has at least once heard about the game fall out. And our easter egg will be from the third part of the game. To find it, you need to make the transition to the central Arlington metro station near the city of Megaton. Well, while our main character is running to the Easter egg waiting for us, we will tell you about the person who will be in it. He was born into a poor peasant family. From an early age he was engaged in physical labor. Due to the difficult financial situation of the family, he attended school for no more than a year, but managed to learn to read and write and fell in love with books. Having become an adult, he began an independent life, educated himself, passed exams and received permission to practice law. During the Indian Uprising in Illinois, he joined the militia and was elected captain, but did not take part in the fighting. He was also a member of the Illinois Legislative Assembly, the House of Representatives of the US Congress, in which he opposed the Mexican-American War. As an opponent of the expansion of slavery into new territories, he was one of the initiators of the creation of the Republican Party, was chosen as its presidential candidate and won the elections of 1860. He became the 16th President of the United States from the Republican Party, the liberator of American slaves (Blacks, and called them African Americans). His goateed face depicts Mount Rushmore. He was killed in the theater with a pistol, shot from the back. You don’t know who it is yet? Then another hint. It is depicted on the US one-cent currency as a coin. Let’s not languish – let’s go down to the basement of the house where we just arrived and find the altar of President Lincoln. We remember the altar because this Lincoln appears more than once in modern games.

Alas, there is nothing in the computer, so I strongly do NOT recommend that you take a hammer and break your computer or TV. Well, while I’m gluing everything back together, check out the last Easter egg for today.

The Easter Bunny, who hid from us for a long time. He brought beautiful eggs to a famous holiday. He left funny secrets about his name in games and disappeared without leaving traces. And so we finally found him. The long-eared wizard lurks in the ocean waters of the town of SteelWalker from the game Saint Row 2. Do you want to find his hideout?? Steal the boat without forgetting to give the former owner a hard time and go to the area marked on the map. There you will find a miniature archipelago consisting of several small islands with signs. The first of them you now see on the screen and from here onwards you need to swim from one piece of land to another. Adhering to the course indicated by signs with arrows. And at the end of the journey, the rubber hero of all Easter celebrations will appear from the water. How cute is he anyway?.
That’s all for today. But don’t be upset. The next episode of The X-Files will feature the adventures of a garden gnome and teddy bears. (name of presenter) was with you. Stand By.
