In-game references

Recommended Posts

I know there's a lot of references in EL, but I don't think anyone has ever tried to document them. These are the ones I can think of offhand:

 

1) the fluffy rabbit from monty python

 

2) the grue from gamer lore

 

3) the death messages from the parrot sketch

 

4) the death message from south park

 

5) smeg from some old tv show (red dwarf, no?)

 

6) the message you get upon entering a certain house in dp (holy grail again)

 

I must admit, some of these (grue, smeg) I had to look up on Wikipedia </sheepish>

If you have any others, post here with what it is and where it's from.

"Harvester of Sorrow" is a Metallica song

OMG!!! I should have thought of this one!

 

Well, "I can't dance" is a Genesis song (not my kind of music... lol)

Let's stay on perks:

"Antisocial" is a song originally by Trust (a french band), then by Anthrax (with different lyrics).

No More Tears is a song by Ozzy Osbourne/Black Label Society :D

I'm pretty sure this was a slogan for baby shampoo first.\

 

"I eat dead people" is likely a reference to that movie where the kid says "I see dead people".

Actually, it is taken from Warcraft 3 (the Necromancer (I think) says that when you click on him multiple times). Of course, that's a pun from the 6th Sense.

I think the new "one" perk is another reference to a Metallica song, based on the movie "Johnny got his gun" where the guy got blown up by a land mine.

Not really an ingame reference. I found it strange though xD

 

Monster magnetism Keeps monsters from you :S when i was a n00b back when I started, Isenguard told me to get the perk. I was like "no!! I r not gonna get attacked!" xD it was pretty funny..

 

*searches for ingame reference*

Grues first appeared in gaming in the first Zork game. They actually made night vision in a later Zork game so that you could think it was safe to travel in the dark but since the Grues hide in the dark whether you can see them or not you still got eaten. pr0!! The Zork guys though got the idea from Jack Vance's "Dying Earth' stories. ;)

 

I had to read Monster Magnetism before I understood that you were actually made attractive to monsters so as to not be attacked. kinky?

Magnetism works both ways.

Aswell as the wraith saying "I don't remember anything" which is lyrics from the song. And the perk Harvester of Sorrow which is another 'tallica song.

 

Sorry for double post but Metallica ftw.

Monster Magnetism is a take on "Animal Magnetism", a Scorpions album (I was a big fan of Scorpions, when I was younger).
