I'll be Back is a reference to Terminator.

The names of the various corsairs and Kournans are often funny...

I ran across a "Captain Khurik" or something analogous, suspiciously similar to the beloved (?) William Shatner.


The "Drakes on a Plain" made me laugh and laugh.

"Springtime for Varesh", the script you find in one of those Resplendent Makkun quests, is a reference to "Springtime for Hitler" from The Producers.

Also, the plant described in Botanical Research is suspiciously similar to a common real-life "study aid." :P

I'd say 99% of the examples in this thread are the same. I'd have thought 'inside jokes' would mean they'd have some point of reference to the whole Guild Wars saga or the MMO / CORPG genre in general...

/pedant.

Anyway. There's an inscription called "Leaf on the Wind", a reference to Serenity ... think Wash, and that landing...

I don't think this has been mentioned:

Heket is actually the egyptian frog-goddess of childbirth.

Of course, it's more well-known as a Biblical reference.

there is one i dont think anyone has said. it is rather funny too. the quest i believe it is called a sticky situation or something of that sort. a sticky operation maybe, but anyways in the quest, you kill seamen.

sticky situation........seamen.... ew

I didn't read the whole thread, sorry if this one has been pointed out already...

In the mission where you have to free Kormir from prison, she's in cell block 1138 - this one's a bit convoluted, but George Lucas' first movie was titled "THX1138" and in Star Wars, when they're going to rescue Princess Leia in the Death Star, Luke says "Prisoner transfer to cellblock 1138."

More THX 1138 info here: http://www.geocities.com/Area51/4456/thx1138.html (not my page, I Google'd it)

I can't believe this one hasn't been listed yet. For the quest, "Koss' Elixir", you fight a creature called Slort Nilbog. Reverse the spelling and you get Goblin Trols. From wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nilbog

I also ran across this one last night which made me laugh out loud :

That's seems to be a refence to Star Wars Episode IV (4) when Luke tried to put manacles on Chewbaca.

'

Alpha males and Alpha females, you will hear these two terms used alot in documentary programs... watch Animal Planet. But as Artisan said, it's of biblical reference.

Someone pointed out that the Remains of Sahlahja was just like pacman... isn't that strange :P?
