"Where are the all cows?"

So, as i'm sure all of you Diablo2 owners will have discovered, Blizzard have decided to place a secret cow level into the game. Despite rumours of a cow level in the original diablo and then the expansion pack, no such level exists but Blizzard, being the great public relations artists that they are, have seen decided to place a cow level in Diablo 2 to make more people happy. It's this kind of spirit of taking nothing too seriously in the gaming industry that i think makes it great. If people are always so caught up in creating a game that they can't just relax and mess around a little with Easter Eggs etc. then surely the games they create will suffer? Some people would complain that programmers waste too much time with Easter Eggs and that this is often what delays release, what a load of rubbish. These programmers that work for hours every day messing with boring old numbers and so forth deserve a break to create something fun, even if it is in a serious game. So as long as programmers keep putting things like big head mode into games like Rainbow Six we can all have a little light relief in an otherwise very serious game.
By the way Easter Egg is a term which is anything that the programmers added which does not directly affect the story of the game and is just for a laugh e.g. the LeChukie doll in Monley Island 3, keep up the good work Boys and Girls!
