Unbeknown to me… there has been a resurrection on the web of an important bit of gaming history. It’s called the Konami code.  If you were a child of the Nintendo (the original one) generation you knew two secrets.  The first. If your game doesn’t work blow into it.  And make sure you blow hard and make sure you don’t spit on it when you are doing it.  The Second.  UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT B A START.  This has affectionately been referred to as the KONAMI CODE.  The Konami code can resurrect you from some of the most impossible games.  When entered on your cute little plastic controller you would get free lives, secret levels, and maybe special abilities.  It was very powerful.  When you are 10 years old, being powerful is very important. 

Well now it is alive again. Try it.  Go to face book.  Do the Konami code on your keyboard.  You don’t need to click into a field or anything.  Just as soon as the page loads type – on your arrow keys UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT then type B and A then press your ENTER or RETURN KEY.  At first you will think…  hmmmm.  Nothing is happening.  But then click anywhere on the page… Yep… Pretty cool.

There is also a ongoing joke about the horrible translations that went on when Japanese games made there way to America.  Its called ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US.  Go to GEEK AND HYPE  do the KONAMI Code and watch a secret video about the web phenom.
