The quest "Signs and Portents" shares its name with a Babylon 5 episode.

There might have been an NPC called Vorlon, but that might have been my mind playing tricks on me.

I googled a few choice words, and here's what I came up with...

Oogara (from Oogara Smash, a Warrior skill) means "large" (or something to that effect) in Japanese, and is apparently also a town in Australia.

Ntouka (from Rage of the Ntouka, a Warrior elite) probably comes from this, pretty interesting.

And the Assassin's Signet of Toxic Shock...well...if you don't already know what Toxic Shock Syndrome is, look it up if you dare.

As far as actual jokes go, I thought this was kind of funny. Seems like a jab at vermin farmers to me.

Jatoro Musagi is in a town south of the Benkur Harbor. I found it funny that they keep using him. He has a quest called A Message Home.

One that I spotted was during the quest to round up the ghosts in the bog.. Serveral quotes from Poltergiest make an appearence.

I doubt they made a drake to parody Steve Irwin.

And I don't think that part was supposed to be a joke.


I think this has been said before, but I still like the quest accept button that says "I like pie" ha.

I'm not sure, but I think Koss has a pun on everyones favourite paladin Leeroy. Sometimes when you're just standing around he'll say something like "I think my name would make a great warcry. "Koss!" What do you think?"

I was amused by "Bad Tide Rising". It seems to be a play on "Bad Moon Rising", which I think is by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Could also be Dead Moon Rising by Sentenced. Too many similarities with too many different songs so i think this is a pure coincidence.

Dead Moon Rising changes 2 words. Bad Moon Rising changes only 1 word. The Moon and Tides are connected (in that the moon controls the tides).

In the quest where you have to help the hunter kill the Burning Flower thing? If you speak to him, he says 'I never wanted to be a hunter anyway, I always wanted to be a lumberjack', which is a reference to the opening line of Monty Python's Lumberjack Song..

Ohhh, Evil Dead reference. I was thinking it was that cartoon with the pothead hippie, talking dog, and the others. Gah! Can't remember the name of it.

Zexion, thanks for clearing up the band for me. Couldn't remember which one did that song.


Folks, this is what happens when you age: you forget minor stuff and you look like an idiot. So...don't get any older. XD

Koss says "All this and Brain" which I also heard Saka say this on Avatar: The Last Airbender, which they probably stole from someone else as well.
