More Easter Eggs

Yeah. I think more Easter Eggs is a cool thing - something that refers to one of your earlier games or something that is sort of meta...
Like in Loren: The Amazon Princess, I don't know if it was on purpose, but I always feel a little swirl in my stomach when I see the sword "Purple Haze" and start thinking About Jimi Hendrix.
So one could do a lot of music related ones, or quotes from popular series/films through time - of course, if it fits in the genre/theme/situation.
The series 'Archer' does this quite a lot and it can be done tastefully, if implemented the right way.
As for WHY I would want more of those... I just really like scouring games for obscure things and knowing it's a little secret for ME, who found it, to feel like the game is more than just a game.
There were a few in Loren, I guess, but some of them are pretty obscure and you have to be in the know to get them.
Examples of ones could be the name/location/whatever Olscer Via, which is an anagram for Celso Riva, of course.
That one wasn't very subtle, but I hope people get the point.
I, at least, would find that awesome, as long as it wasn't too much, and didn't steal attention away from the game/gameplay.
What do other people think about this?
