I don't see why it's OT, it's a post about a feature in the game.

...a really cool feature, I might add! I love the little details they hide throughout. :)

I wish there was a downvote option for this comment.

Great post OP!

No.
Your comment isn't necessarily rude, but not bothering to read a post before making such a comment kind of is.

The game designers and Matt Groening must have known this, as they parodied it. Zoom into your Lincoln Memorial Statue. Lincoln's right hand is making the sign for the letter "M" and his left the letter "G", for Matt Groening!

Very cool post! Thank you for posting it.

nice find man, i havent taken ASL classes or anything, but I do know much, much ASL from having a good friend that is deaf, and learning ASL from him throughout the years of working with him at my fathers farm!

I also noticed that Lincolns hands were M and G and I found it funny, but I wasnt aware of the other things like the real monument as A and L.. good stuff man =)

How fun! I hadn't heard that about the original sculpture, and didn't notice about the statue in the game. Off to go check!

Nice catch! I went into my game to check it out.

Me too.

Does it matter if Lincoln is facing left or right for the MG signs to be apparent? Wouldn't the hands look different depending on how he is facing?

Edit: I just changed his direction in my game to face left, now it looks like GM, maybe General Motors paid for advertisement

I started reading this and I'm like wtf. I'm glad my attention span stuck with me. Clearly it did not with some lol
Nice find

I just googled the sign for G

I dont think I see Lincoln making that sign
