you love Easter eggs in your game you in your games you know I like and I'd like to think that we were certainly with fighting games I think we were first you know doing the the reptile and Mortal Kombat one was literally me driving to KFC on like a Sunday in the in the drive-in like you know waiting in the drive-through and going you know what we did oran or we did blue we did yellow we can make a green palette will call him reptile and like the end of the day he was in the good I got was it was literally as as as kind of randomly inspirational thought you know that there's like oh we can do it let's look and didn't even tell anybody didn't tell John Tobias and tell anybody that that it's in the game ago let's see when people find it and somebody sent me a picture of like their arcade head you know find the reptile they put it and I still have that pictures of this day so those are the kind of really cool that's what I love to see like secrets in the games where people freak out over it and you know want to uh you know if people just love uncovering stuff in games but even before the Internet I mean someone had to find that in the arcade machine yeah yeah like and that's and it was spread truly word about it for one guy to the next to the next and it was even moves do we move exactly and and um that that was that was such a big part of Mortal Kombat was we didn't document anything we just said here play is Liu Kang and all of a sudden how did I throw that fireball well just keep playing it that somebody figures out you know it's toward toward high punch and then that word of mouth let's talk about it and a lot of people made friends playing mk2 or playing something like that and and how did you Shane how did you make shanks tone change into qantarah oh you hold it for like 20 seconds and you let go you know and then that kind of conversation is like you know it's weird there's a lot of like like it bonds people and stuff like that so that's cool do you think that the internet age has kind of spoiled some of that charm I mean it's helped obviously it completely spoiled like I remember we were making MK 2 or 3 and that's when like like forums were just kind of getting out there so somebody in California can post something on rec games that all MORTAL KOMBAT or something and it's somebody in New York can see it that night and go oh that's how you do so in just fatality you know and I remember thinking at that point that's the beginning of the end of secrets and video games that are you know discovered
