| Topic | New Easter egg discovered in Super Mario 64 |
| StealThisSheen 02/09/21 11:11:30 PM #30: | HanOfTheNekos posted... SEP, all due respect, I don't think you're saying anything. I'm saying that to me, an "easter egg" implies something people are supposed to find/discover. Something intentionally placed in a way for people to find and go "Oh, that's neat!" The fact that almost nobody caught this apparently for over 20 years means, to me, either it's not an easter egg in that sense, or it's just a rather poorly done one, since.. Like literally nobody caught on to what it was for over 20 years. And it's not really something you discover in the game itself. You've gotta take it out and play with it a bit for the average person to truly get it. So my point is basically what puns is saying. They probably intentionally used the motif, but not in a way that they expected everybody to notice. Thus, I question if it's a true "easter egg." EDIT: It basically is a semantics thing. Is it a true "easter egg" if they didn't really intend/expect people to find it? There's probably a better term for it, but I'm drawing a blank. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
