10 Best Starcraft II Easter Eggs

Source.

Renowned developer Blizzard has a proud tradition of tongue-in-cheek jokes, hidden extras, and other so-called "Easter eggs" in their games -- and brand-new smash hit Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty is no different. Played through the campaign once and thought you were done? No such luck, buddy. We dug up 10 of the best Starcraft II Easter eggs to drop right in your gaming basket.

1. iPistol

<table xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" border="0" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <td align="center"> <object height="385" width="640"><param name="movie" value="

name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="

type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="640"></object> </td> </tr></tbody></table> The iPistol! Hope it comes in pink. Keep a close eye on the in-game television and you'll be treated to a Starcraft II spoof of the famous iPod dance commercials. A Terran marine shakes his silhouette booty against a brightly colored background and shows off his fancy new tech. Good luck breaking a contract with Apple's Gun Divison, soldier. Oh, and a special nod to the sign under the TV: "Don't Shoot At Screen." The future is like Texas.

2. Tauren Outhouse

<table xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" border="0" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <td align="center"> <object height="385" width="640"><param name="movie" value="

name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="

type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="640"></object> </td> </tr></tbody></table> Kaboom, baby! Look for this Easter egg on the "Zero Hour" level, heading first west and then north up to the top of the map. The shy Tauren runs into the porta-potty pretty fast once he spots you, but you can still have some fun with him. Click the outhouse three times to watch it take off like a rocket-ship.

3. You're...Ron...Burgundy?

<table xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" border="0" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <td align="center"> <object height="385" width="640"><param name="movie" value="

name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="

type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="640"></object> </td> </tr></tbody></table> Don Vermilion proves a mustache looks sexy in any universe. You stay classy, Terran Dominion.

4. Diablo

<table xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" border="0" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <td align="center"> <object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="

name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="

type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="480"></object> </td> </tr></tbody></table> One of fans of the Diablo series, another of Blizzard's biggest names -- you can find Diablo himself lurking in the lower right-hand corner of the "Devil's Playground" level. Guess that'll have to tide us over until next year, when he'll get his next outing in Diablo III.

5. Night Elf Dancer

<table xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" border="0" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <td align="center"> <object height="385" width="640"><param name="movie" value="

name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="

type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="640"></object> </td> </tr></tbody></table> Great, Blizzard, 'cause we weren't already addicted to this game. You had to bring over sexy night-elf dancing. You can watch this misplaced citizen of the World of Warcraft shaking her money-maker on the top level in the Cantina. Don't judge: she's probably just working the pole to pay her way through Hunter College. Fellas, be sure to tip your holograms.

6. Blue Screen of Death

<table xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" border="0" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <td align="center"> <object height="385" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-2s-DzttfA&hl=en_US&fs=1?rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-2s-DzttfA&hl=en_US&fs=1?rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-2s-DzttfA&hl=en_US&fs=1?rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="640"></object> </td> </tr></tbody></table> Even in the future, nothing works. Look for the infamous blue screen of death on the back of the Drakken Laser Drill during "The Dig".

7. Lost Vikings / Lost Viking

<table xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" border="0" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <td align="center"> <object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stmosRJSYlw&hl=en_US&fs=1?rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stmosRJSYlw&hl=en_US&fs=1?rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stmosRJSYlw&hl=en_US&fs=1?rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="480"></object> </td> </tr></tbody></table> A homage to old-school Blizzard franchise Lost Vikings, a Lost Viking arcade game sits snugly in the Cantina of the Hyperion. Lack of puzzle-solving Nordic warriors notwithstanding, it's pretty darn fun.

8. Dance Party!

<table xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" border="0" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <td align="center"> <object height="385" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuWgzTOsvWo&hl=en_US&fs=1?rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuWgzTOsvWo&hl=en_US&fs=1?rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuWgzTOsvWo&hl=en_US&fs=1?rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="640"></object> </td> </tr></tbody></table> Want to class that trash-talk up a bit? Is there a more memorable way to shame a noob than an impromptu dance party in the burned-down remnants of their base? Methinks not. Get down with your bad self. You are a pwnstar.

9. Murloc Space Marine

<table xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" border="0" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <td align="center"> <object height="385" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq0KacEvpT0&hl=en_US&fs=1?rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq0KacEvpT0&hl=en_US&fs=1?rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq0KacEvpT0&hl=en_US&fs=1?rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="640"></object> </td> </tr></tbody></table> Hide your World of Warcraft characters! Murlocs are everywhere. Look for this Azeroth reject on the level "Piercing The Shroud". No word yet on his name, but I think it's safe to assume we're looking at Grunty here. Keen observers will also notice a burning outhouse soaring majestically across the night sky. Quick: make a wish!

10. Secret Mission!

<table xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" border="0" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <td align="center"> <object height="385" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyMrEgDywQQ&hl=en_US&fs=1?rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyMrEgDywQQ&hl=en_US&fs=1?rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyMrEgDywQQ&hl=en_US&fs=1?rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="640"></object> </td> </tr></tbody></table> To get to Starcraft II's secret mission, fire up the level "Media Blitz," take your Odin on a killpath down to the bottom right corner of the map, and destroy the Science Facility. Pick up the documents, and the secret mission will be unlocked when you get back to your ship. Make sure to do this before you hit Char, or you're going to have to start a new campaign to play the secret mission. It's no Secret Cow Level, but anything that extends the fun of the campaign another hour is five-by-five in our book.
