You will also remember that Saturday Night Live did a skit which involved Will Ferrel in which Christopher Walken wants "more Cowbell".

In Factions in Breakers Hollow there is a mesmer called Eurus who gives you a quest called "more Cowbell". I found that in good taste and funny. Easy quest which they seemed to throw in "cause they can".

Still the best joke reference in the game imho.

I'm glad the dev team had such a sense of humor this time.

The mission to rescue Kormir. You're disguised as a Kournan.

You: Are you sure this will work?
Margrid: Would you rather storm the front gates?
You: Tried that already, didn't work.

Of all the things out there, noone would have thought that there might be Drakes on the Plain.

That quest has at least 3 cultural references in it, all of which I figured out as I saw them (them posted the article).

Giga Strike · Oct 30, 2006, 04:17 PM // 16:17

before the first mission koss says "there are 2 ships and 3 of us. we out number them!" lol, love that.

Saw a screenshot of that for a quest called "Drakes in the Plains". I can't want for till Nightfall arrives at my door.

That made me laugh too, you get a scythe in the shape of a banana as that quest reward. :P

Not from a cutscene, but this definately had me laughing. So perfect.

Reference to The Producers.

And a song by Blue Oyster Cult. Theres also an insignia "Strength and Honor" (also a smiting skill) thats from the movie Gladiator. Finally, I believe the insignia "Ride the Lightning" is also a song, but I can't remember by who.

Found the inscription on a shield named: "I can see clearly now" : Reduce blind 20%. Cant get rid of the song in my mind lol. The cut scenes are very well done this time round and lots of humor everywhere.

It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)

Several of the inscriptions are song titles, actually.

I wondered if there was a cut scene after that. It seemed to start a cutscene for a couple of seconds, and then it just finished. Have to get another character up there now.

Ride the Lightning is actually an album and the artist is Metallica.

there is alot of references in inscriptions. 'riders on the storm', 'dont fear the reaper', 'sleep now in the fire', 'like a rolling stone', 'i can see clearly now' (song references) 'the riddle of steel' (conan movie reference), 'i have the power!' (he-man reference), 'hail to the king' (evil dead 3 reference).. im sure there are others that people can pick out too.
