Observer Jafoh.

Only funny to those who get it, and easily overlooked as just another name by those who don't.

Doesn't bother me in the least. I like the George RR Martin "Song of Fire and Ice" references. Is there any Robert Jordan references that I missed?

I think it's hilarious. I always laugh when I see a random reference.

The Star Wars jokes in Nightfall seemed out of place (the mission where you escort Zhed to the prison).

Sometimes, they go a little too far, sometimes they are funny.

Loved the "Kill Bill" feel of the Togo Bonus Mission for example.

Meh, I guess it's just a matter of taste.

I really enjoy them. Favourites:
-Bogroots Dungeon (Red vs Blue)
-Poghan Passage with Zhed (Star Wars, not as subtle as other references but funny nonetheless)
-Jayne Forestlight in Eternal Explorable and the hammer Vera (Firefly)

Mind you more cowbell, and problem salving had me in fits of laughter as well.

Hahahahh that one's great!

Personally I love the pop culture references, I've never been too keen on immersion anyway, so I find it nice when things make me smile

Sorry I just had never rick roll'ed anyone so I thought it would be funny. Didn't mean it in a mean spirited way. I for one would like to see a GW in game reference to the Rick Roll'ed cult. I actually like the song "Never gonna give you up", but man the video is dorky!

Loved 'em, even the one's I didn''t 'get' either because I'm old or English or both. Immersion isn't harmed, because lets face it; immersion doesn't exist in online games with any kind of enabled chat system. I mean come on, 'real' heroes don't hang around town humping each other in their underwear while spamming OMG WTF LOLZORZ!!!1

I used to run a roleplay server for the game Freelancer, and that was small scale, lots of RP fanatics, very immersive. MMO's? I wish.
