8 Video Game Secrets That ONLY Appear On Xmas Day

2. Halo 3 - Happy Birthday Lauren!

It must really suck to have your birthday also be on Christmas Day.

Not only do you automatically get fewer presents (not saying that's all the season is about but it's definitely annoying to get socks instead of a Playstation 5), but you also have to share the limelight with some baby who's parents couldn't even have the foresight to book into a Travelodge.

Still, it might actually provoke more effort from those closest to you as they try everything to make sure that your day is as special as possible, and to that effect we have to give big props to Adrien Perez who snuck in a brilliant and very touching Easter Egg into Halo 3 for his wife Lauren.

If you set the game to December 25 and boot the game up, select the campaign and then click in both thumbsticks you'll see a secret message saying "Happy Birthday Lauren". How sweet, to be immortalized in a game which details the near destruction of mankind.
