Default Easter Eggs

Since theres an easter egg thread in the Tyrian forum, the canthan forum should have one too, since i think we should keep the easter eggs for each expansion seperate. As to no cause confusion >.>;

heres mine:



Yuun the Quickshot henchman.

I believe he is a reference to Yun from the Street Fighter series because of that skateboard quote.

The More Cowbell quest, as a reference to a Saturdary Night Live skit about Blue Oyster Cult.

I could swear I've seen a Crimson Skull Ritualist play the air-guitar once... Didn't take a screenshot though. ><

I've seen that 2, as well as a Crimson boss dancing and his mob playing instruments for him. It totally freaked me out. The weird part is that he was an ele boss, yet doing a Tank dance! I'll have to go back there and get a screenie of him doing this.

I saw that too. It was on the west side of Shing Jea island, in the frosty mountainous part. Ran in there with my rit and henchs, and got owned by him.

Everytime Quickshot Henchman engages enemies, he always say "Headshot!" or "I think your just afraid of the...headshot!" or "Try hit me, try!". A reference to doug in Pure Pwnage.

Not an easter egg, but an Am Fah boss in the Undercity has female Canthan Peasants doing the elementalist dance for him.

Someone else... elsewhere mentioned Kupah Beach, a location mentioned en passant in a quest. On Kupah Beach there are turtles. Let's-a-go, Mario!

I've noticed the guy you protect during the Luxon challenge mission dancing while you wait for the mission to start. Dancing NPC's seems to be a new thing

Guess this will be a factions thread of interesting tidbits rather then any easter eggs.

Be nice if there were actual easter egss posted.

There's another easter egg type of quest offered after the gyala hatchery that is an obvious reference to the movie 'The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou'

Good for a lot of laughs if you've ever seen the movie.

I'll try to get some of my screen caps of the conversations from the quest up in the next day or two.

The male Ritualist dance is the dance done near the end of the film Napolean Dynamite.

I noticed that one too. I think it's called the 'Zeno Crew' or something like that. It even references the annoying wife who will only help him if it's his last mission. That movie rules...
