I challenge you to find the easter eggs I've hidden. *hehe*

Hints (each line is a seperate easter egg unless otherwise stated):
The italicized text means the corresponding easter egg has already been found.
  • Think Aptitude.
  • Think with portals.
  • Two easter eggs that both involve trying to exit/kill the terminal.
  • A type of weather.
  • Some meme having to do with 300... hmm, what was it again... *hehe*

You need to implement backspace and direction keys now.

This the kill\exit easter egg? Typed 'DIE' into the command line:

This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
Aperture Science
We do what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are still alive.

I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart.
And killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data make a beautiful line.
And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time.
So I'm GLaD. I got burned.
Think of all the things we learned
for the people who are still alive.

Go ahead and leave me.
I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
Maybe Black Mesa
THAT WAS A JOKE.
HAHA. FAT CHANCE.
Anyway, this cake is great.
It's so delicious and moist.
Look at me still talking
when there's Science to do.
When I look out there, it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
I've experiments to run.
There is research to be done.
On the people who are still alive.

And believe me I am still alive.
I'm doing Science and I'm still alive.
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.
While you're dying I'll be still alive.
And when you're dead I will be still alive.
STILL ALIVE,
STILL ALIVE

Typed Exit :
Well here we are again.
It's always such a pleasure.
Remember when you tried
to kill me twice?
Oh how we laughed and laughed.
Except I wasn't laughing.
Under the circumstances
I've been shockingly nice.

You want your freedom?
take it.
That's what I'm counting on.

I used to want you dead
but
Now I only want you gone.

She was a lot like you.
(Maybe not quite as heavy).
Now little Caroline is in here too.
One day they woke me up -
So I could live forever.
It’s such a shame the same
will never happen to you.

You’ve got your
short sad
life left.
That's what I'm counting on.
I'll let you get right to it -
Now I only want you gone.

Goodbye my only friend.
Oh, did you think I meant you?
That would be funny
if it weren't so sad.
Well you have been replaced.
I don't need anyone now.
When I delete you maybe
I'll stop feeling so bad.

Go make some new disaster.
That's what I'm counting on.
You're someone else's problem.

Now I only want you gone.
Now I only want you gone.
Now I only want you gone.

2 more. One is really easy and the other is hard if you've not used linux.

I found the cake earlier, only I thought it was a lie before so I became a bit confused :?

(lol)

Btw this doesn't work in iOS because the terminal works by detecting keypresses, but on the page there's no way to activate the onscreen keyboard (I'm on my iPod touch 4G right now :3)

Confusion is the intention ;)
And yeah, it's not meant to work with iOS - I never made an input field, so unless you're on an iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard, there's not much you can do there.

Also, added 2 new eggs. Check the original post.

Haha, that one was a bit ... too easy.
I think I need to start putting in harder-to-find eggs. ;)

Did you really expect me to embed a video into this terminal?
What do you think this is, 2011 or something?

Question was, what was Aptitude moo's original easter egg? (the ascii art, quiz question)
