- This is probably not one of his games.

This is something I've been aware of about John since the anniversary special - if not the fact that he's a freelance programmer, then at least that he works at home through his computer.

My characters tend to share some of my own traits, and this is not an exception. I'm personally somewhat interested in programming, though my experience is limited to making Minecraft mods (a bunch of them, none finished) (Java) and amateur Python* scripts on my phone.

The easter egg thing mainly ties in with John's personality, but it's something I might be liable to do as well. John and I both like making jokes (John shares even more of my traits than most other characters), I get easily distracted, and given the opportunity, I would probably go out of my way to add easter eggs to a game.

* Incidentally, the comic this links to wound up inspiring an easter egg in the Python scripting language itself. In a case of eastereggception, there's also another xkcd-related easter egg inside that one.
