The "easter egg" is just the default placeholder description string which hasn't been set to something proper by the time the player interacts with it. Hardly an easter egg, this is basically akin to seeing the big red [B]Error [/B]text in Source games... its just a placeholder that's slightly cheeky and it took player's forever to come across ways to make it happen.

[QUOTE=WhyNott;53040458]It has more character and needs a very specific combination of things to happen, I think it counts as an unintentional easter egg[/QUOTE] It happens on any object that doesn't have its text set, if you read the article you'd know it doesn't require a specific set of actions, but can happen in any situation where an object's text isn't set. They list 2 separate ways people have found ways to get it so show in the article, and the dev who wrote it specifically mentioned how it could have appeared on anything theoretically.
