This one game I play tried to hide an engine update that had been requested for over a decade by releasing three silly free content packs

I don't know why, but I find the comments hilarious and the idea of a community clicking a single button to reset it to 60 seconds is amusing.

if you try to input the konami code without the start at the end of it on buzzfeed's website, it will turn the website into sloth.

http://www.buzzfeed.com/

(that's up,down,up,down,left,right,left,right,b,a)

it will work on any webpage on their website.
