The quest "Signs and Portents" shares its name with a Babylon 5 episode.

There might have been an NPC called Vorlon, but that might have been my mind playing tricks on me.

I googled a few choice words, and here's what I came up with...

Oogara (from Oogara Smash, a Warrior skill) means "large" (or something to that effect) in Japanese, and is apparently also a town in Australia.

Ntouka (from Rage of the Ntouka, a Warrior elite) probably comes from this, pretty interesting.

And the Assassin's Signet of Toxic Shock...well...if you don't already know what Toxic Shock Syndrome is, look it up if you dare.

As far as actual jokes go, I thought this was kind of funny. Seems like a jab at vermin farmers to me.

Jatoro Musagi is in a town south of the Benkur Harbor. I found it funny that they keep using him. He has a quest called A Message Home.

A girl Called KINA is refered as ''CHINA''
Black Moa Fairytale Is refered to Kurzicks forests black moa.
The Beast is Unchained By Koss

The Crocodile creature *tooth drake* Could be a Stewe ervins Parody.

Koss sounds like Tyson.

One that I spotted was during the quest to round up the ghosts in the bog.. Serveral quotes from Poltergiest make an appearence.

I doubt they made a drake to parody Steve Irwin.

And I don't think that part was supposed to be a joke.

I think this has been said before, but I still like the quest accept button that says "I like pie" ha.

Ebon Hawk? Yea I know that ship in Starwars, but what is that skill for?

the illusion henchie says this:

'you tried to hit me, and you failed miserably. the lesson is: never try'

You wish that Tyson had a voice that deep.

There is a little sexual innuendo around too.

Like Koss to Melonni:

"Its always nice to see the way you wield that scythe."

Tyggen · Sep 25, 2006, 09:42 AM // 09:42

I'm not sure, but I think Koss has a pun on everyones favourite paladin Leeroy. Sometimes when you're just standing around he'll say something like "I think my name would make a great warcry. "Koss!" What do you think?"

I was amused by "Bad Tide Rising". It seems to be a play on "Bad Moon Rising", which I think is by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Zexion · Sep 25, 2006, 09:59 AM // 09:59

CCR, not Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Amity and Truth · Sep 25, 2006, 10:06 AM // 10:06

Could also be Dead Moon Rising by Sentenced. Too many similarities with too many different songs so i think this is a pure coincidence.

Zexion · Sep 25, 2006, 10:11 AM // 10:11

Dead Moon Rising changes 2 words. Bad Moon Rising changes only 1 word. The Moon and Tides are connected (in that the moon controls the tides).

Your argument==void.

_Zexion

Amity and Truth · Sep 25, 2006, 10:13 AM // 10:13

My argument is not void. You're just making up a similarity where there is none in your attempt to find some Joke that was not even intended.

Your "Inside Joke" == Void

is the black moa plucking the chicks eyes out a play on the Kill Bill 2 movie???
