Photoshop? What? What do you mean? Looks like a true screenshot to me.

Wonder who he is...

The "outline" could be a JPEG compression artifact. It would explain why the mouse icon also has the outline around it.

Yes. And it gets worse especially when copying and repeated saving of an image. Enough proof that it is fake.

I see two possibilities: Either haradan is Fooling us about the screenshot being real...or Gronagor is Fooling us about it being fake.

Which one of them made a remark about a Thexder remake again? :p

Even if it is a joke I don't get it. Who is he then? What's the joke? Why was it Photoshopped? What's going on??

Maybe part of the joke is that we don't get the joke? Even if it's not Haradan's joke but the crew's, someone put him in there, presumably for giggles. One of us should be nerdy enough to get the reference.... :\

I'm nerdy enough to get the reference, but then again, I had access to the QFG2 Development Forum. :p

Ha, ha! Gronagor, my friend, you ARE the suspicious man! :lol

If I knew how to use Photoshop, my covers at QuestStudios would look much better! And if I wanted to make a joke, I would have pasted, I don't know, something which at least I could recognize.

As I said, no idea who he is. And by the way, the easter egg is not hard at all to get. Just save in the previous screen and go back and forth until you get it.

Geez! :lol

Oh, and I posted it on April 2nd, in case that's what threw you off.

Aw that's cheating! And I suppose you have no intention of sharing with the rest of the class do you? :P

Yeah I noticed that too but I figured it was just showing me your post time in Canadian hours and didn't want to get into a big thing about April fool's semantics and world time.
Thanks for the picture by the way, I'm glad someone finally caught the bugger!

Heh. That would ruin the fun for the rest of us if he told us. I think we're on our own.

Oh no! I'm trapped on the wrong side of the joke! It's...cold out here. But not as lonely as you'd expect. In fact, we seem to have quite the party of referentially challenged nerd types here. All we need is some booze and an N64 and we are set!

OK, I managed to take a snapshot of his clothes. Maybe it will help, or at least it will help Gronagor to believe this is not a hoax! ;)

So, am I free of charges now?

Honestly, when I first saw him I thought it was Ash from the Evil Dead movies. But I don't think that's quite right...

At first I thought it was an obvious Alexander reference to the river styx but now I'm not sure.

Hmmm... I wonder if there are any Easter eggs that are programmed to only show up on Easter... ;)

Hmmm...anybody else feel suspicious of Navy's statement? Suddenly I have a memory of a residence of tortoises...

Well, Alexander had that magic stone which he used to teleport away from danger, although he couldn't control his destination, so, you know, it could be him.

Ouch, don't get me started on that, I was a victim too of that infamous joke, you know, searching every grate in every alley! And then, when I finally found the real thing, I was beaten time after time by the PE. I still think it's not funny. Well, maybe just a little bit funny... ;)
