Well, let me tell ya ’bout this here “show egg hunt”, whatever that is. Sounds like somethin’ the young’uns do, always lookin’ for things. Anyways, I heard tell it’s got somethin’ to do with them video games, the ones that make all that clickin’ and clackin’ noise.
First off, what’s this “egg hunt” all about? Seems like them game makers, they hid a bunch of eggs all over the place, in that there game… what’s it called? “The Show” somethin’ or other. And you gotta go find ’em. Like findin’ hen’s eggs in the barn, only these here eggs are different, I reckon.
Now, I ain’t played no video games in my life, but I hear tell these eggs ain’t real eggs, you know? They’re just pictures on the screen, like them little fellas runnin’ around on the TV. And if you find all these picture eggs, you get somethin’ good. A prize, they call it. This here prize is a fella named Christian Yellich, sounds like a fancy name, must be one of them city slickers.
- Egg Number One: They say you gotta do somethin’ on the “main menu”. That’s like the front door of the game, I guess. And they say there’s ten eggs hidden right there, at this very moment. So you gotta look real close, like you’re lookin’ for a lost needle in a haystack.
- Egg Number Two: This one’s called a “Starter Showdown”. Sounds like fightin’ to me. Maybe you got to beat somebody to get the egg? I dunno, seems kinda rough, but that’s how them young’uns like it, I guess.
They got more eggs too, I hear. Lots of ’em. Seems like a whole lot of work for some picture eggs, but like I said, I don’t understand these young folks’ games. They say you gotta go into different parts of the game to find ’em. Some are in “game modes”, whatever them are. Maybe like different rooms in a big house? And you gotta use special players to get some of ’em. Sounds complicated, like makin’ a quilt with a hundred different pieces.
And then there’s this talk about “Jelly Beans”. Now, I know jelly beans! Them little sweet candies, kids love ’em. But these jelly beans, they ain’t for eatin’. You gotta find ’em in somethin’ called “show packs”. Maybe like little bags you open up in the game? And you need fifteen of them jelly beans to get one of them eggs. Fifteen! That’s a whole lotta jelly beans, even if they ain’t real.
They say this here egg hunt is “straightforward”. Well, maybe for them young’uns who know all about them games. For me, it sounds like a whole lotta fuss and bother. But I guess if you like them video games, it’s fun. Like findin’ them hidden eggs in the chicken coop, I used to do that when I was a little girl. Every time ma sent me out to find eggs, I would always hunt for the ones the hens hid in sneaky spots.
So, if you’re one of them game players, and you want that fella Christian Yellich, you gotta go huntin’ for them eggs. Look on the main menu, play them showdown things, find them jelly beans. It’s a whole big to-do, but if you’re patient, like an old hen on her nest, you might just find ‘em all. And get that fancy fella for your team. Or whatever it is you do with him in that game.
They give you clues too, like you are some kind of detective. One clue says you need to exchange jelly beans, and the hint is “What goes well with eggs?”. Well, any fool knows jelly beans go well with eggs, so that ain’t much of a clue now, is it? Seems like these game makers are trying to be tricky, but they ain’t foolin’ nobody.
And there are ten of them picture eggs in all. Ten! That’s more eggs than my old hen, Betsy, ever laid in a week. So you got your work cut out for you, young’un. But if you stick to it, and keep lookin’, you’ll find them all. And then you can tell all your friends how you conquered that there “show egg hunt”. And they’ll probably just nod and go back to their clickin’ and clackin’, but you’ll know you did good. You’ll know you are the best egg hunter in all the land, even if them eggs ain’t real.
And that, as far as I can tell, is what this “show egg hunt” thing is all about. A whole lotta trouble for some picture eggs and a fella named Christian Yellich. But hey, if it keeps them young’uns busy, I guess it ain’t so bad. Better than them runnin’ around gettin’ into real trouble, that’s for sure. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go find my real eggs. Them hens been hidin’ them all over the place again, and I need my breakfast. Them picture eggs ain’t gonna feed nobody, that’s for sure.
