He estimated that level of imperfect recall meant Overlord was about 4.2 million years old. Chromedome doesn't refer to this process as "information creep", but since it involves the gradual corruption and loss of old memories, it's possible that memory fatigue or eidetic decay are the same or related to information creep. {{storylink\|Remembrance Day}}		While rummaging around in [[Overlord (G1)#2005 IDW continuity\|Overlord]]'s brain, [[Chromedome (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Chromedome]] commented that Overlord was showing signs of ''eidetic decay'', or ''memory fatigue'': in Overlord's memory of a crowd during a gladiatorial battle, most of the crowd was the same color, and one out of every three or four faces was missing.
