Ok, so google reader rocks already, but how many of you know about this hidden Easter egg… google have secretly implemented the Konami code.

For those of you that don’t know what the Konami code is, here’s the wikipedia outline:

The Konami Code, known in Japan as the Konami Command (コナミコマンド Konami Komando?), is a cheat code that appears in many Konami video games, although the code also appears in some non-Konami games. The code was first used in the 1986 release of Gradius for the Nintendo Entertainment System but was made famous in North America in the NES version of Contra, for which it was also dubbed the “30 Lives Code”. While pausing the game or during the title screen, the player could press the following sequence of buttons on the game controller:

Konami Code for google reader

Now head on over to google reader and push those keys, you’ll get those 30 extra lives, next to your feeds, a ninja and the like button will change into a heart, which has a wicked animation when used.

With all this new technology appearing, especially in the gaming world, i keep getting random ideas for real world interaction with games, imagine using an electric shock/ruble body suit to interact with online FPS games, such as Team Fortress 2, or Counter-strike: source. These valve games already have pretty advanced stat systems, picking up head shots, arm shots, what angle they came from etc, when they happen and put this data into pretty graphs and 3d torso’s.

What would be cool is if this data was taken live and inputted into your electric shock suit!

Boom headshoot! would seem a lot more realistic!

Ever wanted to know every pin number for everyone in the world?
