guy using laptop mnog 1/2

[Miru577]

When I was playing mnog 1, I spotted this in the sky, it looked like a guy with sunglasses sitting down using a laptop. This also appeared in mnog 2. Does anyone know anything about this?

I outlined it so it is more clear

[Toa Jaxus]

either an either an easter egg or a case of Pareidolia (optical illusion that sees a pattern in random objects).

I think its an easter egg

Where in MNOG is this visible? Could you provide a screenshot? If the same pattern indeed appears in both games, then it's probably safe to assume it's an easter egg.

I don't think it appearing in both games necessarily proves this is an easter egg, as MNOG 2 reuses a ton of assets from MNOG. I'm fairly certain this is just a rnadom little pattern that might be interpreted to look like what the OP states, but I find it unlikely and the image too vague.

Great sighting! I have to say your I am finding your posts very enjoyable

 

The only way to know for sure is to ask Templar studios, I can easily see this is a case of an artist being tired and wanting to add their own flare

Looks more like an odd leaf to me, although not sure why that region of the background is so detailed compared to the rest.

Here is a closeup of the thing in the shape from the game, to better see it:

 

 

From the full shape, we can see it's must more detailed in that area, which suggests it's no accident

 

 

 

I've also exported the shape as an SVG, if anyone else wants to take a closer look.

 

Where did you see this in MNOG?

Man, that's some Warren Robinett level shenanigans.

[CommanderKumo]

The zoomed in version 100% looks like a guy in sunglasses writing something

yes, it does

 

For the people who dont know where this is, it is located in mnog, in a le koro cutscene when kongu's bird rahi has crashed, you can see it on the left, and in mnog 2 when you enter le koro

thanks for making this more clear

Wow. And it only took 17 years for someone to notice.

[Master Inika]

Nice find. The amount of weird stuff to notice in MNOG never ceases to fascinate me. We'll still be picking it apart ten years from now.

look, I wasn't born in the time before time

[CommanderKumo]

I'd love to find some more stuff like this, I can image the MNOG artists would have some fun in secret

wouldn't be the first time, i'm pretty sure most players are aware of them sneaking in a Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy reference in the Sanctum as well.

"What do you get when you multiply six by nine"

in the screen with nuju, there's generic LEGO packaging information as well. The cut Matoro conversation screen has gibberish/placeholder matoran text.
