Now listen up, you primitive screwheads. See this? This... is my boomstick! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You *got* that?

Don't forget the original campaign has the Army of Darkness in UW/Fissure. I love the Ash references they've been putting in.

It's sort of ironic that the spell Judge's Insight doesn't help you one bit in the trial at the end of the preview. You'd think you could peer into the jury's skull and. . . You know, gather some insightful information?

And let us not forget Holy Haste. Go check out Healbot Blues for that one. (Not Twinkiemonk, damnit, my comic isn't cool. . . yet.)

Sad thing is, the Holy Haste skill that was implemented in Nightfall doesn't even do what Healbot from Healbot Blues wanted it to do. Check out the comic here.

I agree. All it needs is all the little windows (or what ever they are) that the borg cube has.

I don't know if this is an inside joke or not but in the Flamingos quest (forget the name) where you are supposed to get them out of the fields, I tried all the things that had worked in the past, blocking their path, kind of pushing them in the direction they need to go, clicking on them etc. I then read the quest again and it said, "shoo the flamingo's out of the field". So I thought what the hell......so I did /shoo and it worked. Finally, a real use for emotes!

Some npc walks round Kamaden saying "I should have been a farmer" which I immediately thought was a reference to a-nets hate for farming.

I was starting to wonder if I was the only one who noticed that. Holy Haste was supposed to be a speed/run skill, for those who didn't know or didn't go look at the comic.

The whole "holy haste" thing sounds like something from Monty Python's Holy Graile.

I don't know if it has been mentioned but when you do emotes outside outposts your heroes respond accordingly (only your heroes, not henches or other player's heroes). For example, if you /dance they play an instrument or dance with you or clap their hands (/excited emoticon). If you /bowhead, they all /bowhead etc. Some times they start dancing or use another emoticon on their own.

The way Holy Haste rolls off the tongue, it reminds me a ton about the Holy Hand Grenade. One, two, Five! Not five, three! Oh, three! I know, odd connection, but Monty Python does have its funnies in Nightfall.

1. The hunter that Nehdukah is trying to impress (see quest "Hog Hunt") comments that he/she "can track a falcon on a cloudy day. I can find anyone." <line spoken by Buttercup refering to Prince Humperdink>

2. Sinni in the quest "A father's fate" has the following reward dialog:

"Thank you, hero. My father always said "Life is pain. Anyone who tells you different is selling something." <line spoken by Westly to Buttercup after her exclamation "You mock my pain!">


I say "more" because I'm sure the following three have been posted somewhere:

Lukas from Factions saying "I'm really left-handed"
The skill "Bonnetti's Defense"
The NPC "Farrah Cappo"

Ebon Hawk. 10 Energy, 2 second cast, 15 second recharge. Send a projectile that strikes for 20...76 earth damage if it hits. If this Spell hits a moving foe, that foe suffers from Weakness for 5...13 seconds.

This isn't the first quest that required emotes - there was a quest in Factions where you had to kneel to plant seeds.

Ok, here's some interesting things (glitches, not really funny):

Obviously ANet didn't have time to make a real icon for it...


Hmm...that Sunspear Recruit looks awefully familiar...

Ashigun certainly had a subtle way of persuading one to go off in search of Bobo in "Double Dog Dare" - that quest did actually use an emote, too, as you have to "kneel" finally to unearth the beloved Bobo. Not the first teddy bear in the game, of course, there's one to be returned in Factions too...
