Shake things up with Google Hangouts Easter Eggs

Google just won’t be Google without its Easter Eggs. We get another dose of some pretty whacky ones added into their new unified chat service, Hangouts—ponies, pitchforks, or the KONAMI cheat, anyone? However, these codes work only with Hangouts on Google+ and not in video calls, the Chrome Extension, or the mobile version. 

If you’re bored at work and want to add some quirky fun to your day, you should try these out. Just make sure you don’t use it on your boss or someone you have a professional relationship with, unless you know they are into that sort of thing.
