Even more of an inside, inside joke is the quest "What do you do with a Drunken Shauben?"

The sunspears you have to release and bring back with you are all named after officers on the Spearmen guild. Shauben=Spearmen in elonian.

LMAO. I went and tried this, and it's just hilarious that they actually react to it.

Just look at the article (that I started) on GuildWiki.

Thats just too funny to exist!

Headbutt is captured off a Mandragor called Enadiz the Hardheaded.

Enadiz backward = Zidane..........

Most likely a reference to over-zealous use of the /bug feature in the betas; I must admit to being somewhat responsible

The aforementioned "Goldfinger" reference

The mime quest accept and reject from the preview; can't recall if they changed on release, but both cracked me up

Ooooo, ANet having a subtle dig at the more traditional MMO funding method?

Not really an inside joke (although I seem to recall something similar from somewhere else), but very funny

Reference to the 80s movie starring Dan Aykroyd and (I think) Chevy Chase; also a Beatles reference.

Don't know where it's from, but it tickled me

And I just couldn't resist this

i dont know if anyone mention this

"The Power IS Yours!"

Not sure if this is already mentioned

but the warrior boss 'enadiz headbutt' is the french soccer player zidane's name spelled backwords. Zidane headbutt someone during fifa 2006, and he happens to have the elite skill headbutt O_O.

The quest called "Drakes on a plain"

Quite obvious no?

VoDDe · Nov 19, 2006, 01:32 PM // 13:32

One of the heroes occasionally shouts " Fly you fools ! " , which is Gandalf's last line before he falls into the chasm together with the Balrog in LotR

Also, one of the healer hero's says : " Ewww, blood .. ".
Which is just plain funny

No. Definitely not obvious, you must have the eyes of a hawk for finding that reference. No wonder no-ones mentioned it before!

What's up with Mhenlo and Cynn?
Yes, I have Factions and know of the comments from Cynn about the 'girls'

Any more of those references around?

Bankai · Nov 19, 2006, 06:49 PM // 18:49

Cynn sometimes talks about how Mhenlo is too soft.

Dalimoor_Kalkire · Nov 19, 2006, 09:29 PM // 21:29

Yet another glorious Monty Python inside joke. Anyone catch the one where you get the banana scythe from a quest? Oh, man, I fell off my chair laughing when I saw this and yelled "pointed stick" in guild chat. Good times. Makes me want to go into a PvP battle and scream while I wield my banana scythe. I just hope nobody is carrying a gun or I'm done for.

And for those that haven't seen it, go here. Go now! http://youtube.com/watch?v=ByZqx30Ov...elated&search=

Woo for typos.

I don't know if it has been mentioned but the player accepts a quest from Dunkoro in the command post with 'I love it when a plan comes together', which I think is a reference to the A Team.

Zinger314 · Nov 20, 2006, 12:35 AM // 00:35

References are a bit obvious.

There is also a Paragon skill "Awe" tailored to go with "Shock"

The Paragon shouts are just a gratuitous abuse of pop culture references.

"They're on fire!" is likely a reference to NBA Jam, after hitting enough baskets the announcer would yell "He's on fire!" and all balls would set the net on fire.
