It's nothing special, but if you enter the konami code ( U, U, D , D , L, R, L, R, B, A, enter) it'll go to the wolverine video review. For the full list of konami code sites go to:

http://konamicodesites.com/

Also, on gamespot if you enter it it'll go to the contra cheats page.

It works.  I just tried it on this forum page and it took me to the Contra page.  That's the joke.

You should totally change it so it goes to the Konami Code page. Going to the Contra page is so unoriginal. So many sites do that. You should flaunt the uniqueness of Giant Bomb and it's concepts system, and direct it to the konami code page.

Or be more original and direct it to the Gradius page.

The reason you go to the wolverine review page is because the first slide in the featured content flash panel is the wolverine review.  It probably is listening for the user to press the enter key and when it does, it takes the user to the currently highlighted slide in the flash panel.  If it were on a different panel it would take you to that. 

You have to input the konami code on a different page other than the homepage.

But how do you input the code? I know what it is, but not how to do it. I've tried the keyboard, but that hasn't worked. I've even done it in the search bar.

If you press enter anywhere on the homepage, it should take you to the first story highlighted... in this case the Wolverine review.

Works for me on the homepage."
Have you got the flash NGBX thingy disabled? Because ordinarily on the home page keys are used to navigate the flash thingy, so it won't work.

b and a. On any part of the site (apart from the homepage), just press Up, Up, Down, Down, left, right, left, right, b, a, enter.

Yea, I'm not getting anything, either. Does it have to be done in a certain browser?

It totally should work. Just press up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, enter. Unless you're on a weird browser that doesn't support whatever code allows this. What browser are you using?

You should be able to do it, just did it now. Maybe you are waiting too longer during a key press.

Yes, I'm using my arrows keys. Let me try it again, not bothering to exit out of this text box. Nope, nothing.

That's because you did it on the home page. The flash thingy overrides the konami code so it doesn't work. Do it on any other page of the site, and it'll take you to the contra page.

You also can't have any link selected or it will take you there when you hit Enter. Other than that, there should be no problem.

I use FireFox, code works fine on any page, even on the main page. You just have to be quick about it. You'll know you have it when it shows you have 30 lives in the top left corner of the screen.
