I know they said earlier in the thread that the female necro dance is from Thriller, but if you watch it, it looks like all the dances the kids from The Breakfast Club did all combined into one. And the female ranger dance looks like she's got a wedgie, but is trying every which way to um... get it out, without actually yanking.

Oh... and Grawl? It means bad things.

The emote itself may not be, but the reference could be. This doesn't seem to be purely about eggs anymore anyway, but references.

Abominable Snowman from Jarre? I know there are many young people here and in game, but some of these things are basic history and mythology dating back from waaay before anything you can pin point as recent reference. Many of the things seen as current origination are actually references to older things or just common parts of societal knowledge now that wouldn't even be considered references anymore.

A doppelganger is just a word, it has a meaning:
http://dictionary.reference.com/sear...q=doppelganger

It is just an appropriate name, not a specific reference, and certainly not just a y-g-o reference. If anything from recent use it would be from Zelda.

Only if that NPC was:
A) Shouting "SHARON!"
B) Getting interrupted by Cry of Frustration constantly
C) Biting the heads off bats
D) Was singing a rock and roll song
E) Walking slow or falling out of a chair.


A name alone doesn't mean a reference.

I ran into an NPC named Bob. That must be a reference to my best friend Bob or maybe Hurricane Bob!!! Easter Eggs everywhere! /sarcasm.

For a name to be a valid reference it should also have another link beyond the name. For example, I would consider a pig in presearing named Wilbur or a spider named Charlotte (There is a spider named Carlotta (spanish for Charlotte)) to be a reference/egg to another well known pig/spider with an identifiable name.

If the Enchanter henchman were named Tim that would a true Monty Python reference.

You might want to check that again in game. It hasn't said that since they updated his character model. He does, however, still have the symbol on the inside of his shirt.

The name was Baptiste, not Betrice. Baptiste is Alesia's surname.... apparently.

Yeah, that symbol inside Menhlo's shirt is the Ohm symbol. I believe it is sanskrit.


Edit: Chakra is sanksrit as well. It means wheel I think.
