I like pie & Here I come to save the day!

edit: Actually, isn't there a fairytale or children's story about a ring baked into a pie?

The 'ah deadlines' is a reference to Douglas Adams I think, unless he referenced it too.

Seems to be a sort of old thread, but since I didn't find an equivalent and I bet there are many inside jokes that haven't been posted yet...:

I noticed that Tahlkora (or one of the other heroes, I'm pretty sure it was Tahlkora, though) has the habit of saying "Don't tell me what I can't do!" from time to time... sensing some John Locke from the "LOST" series here.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

'Mending Refrain' is definitely a joke about Echo Mending.

Its an 'Echo'... and +2-4 regen...with mending in its name.

Too coincidental imo.

there's an insignia titled "to the pain" which i believe is a reference to a movie called The Princess Bride during a deadly drinking contest scene.

Nobody mentioned Drakes on a Plain and its "Snakes on a Plane" and "007 Goldfinger" reference?
Also, theres a quest named "For Your Ears Only" (007 "For Your Eyes Only" reference)

The cheat "Show me the Money" actually references some movie....although I'm not sure which movie.

Edit:
What about all the stuff Mad King Thorn says?
"Yes! It even smells like teen spirit!"
"If you don't dance, then you're no friend of mine"

These things are a big reason why I think GW is so fun. I love stumbling across all these inside jokes and references to things (when the new HoH greens hit I got an Ogre-Slaying Knife my first or second run, and that was all I really wanted). This thread has made me want to try the Paragon class, just to see all these skills (I wasn't going to make one before).

As a side note, I didn't really know the song in the Fatboy Slim video with the Walken/Paragon dance, but when watching it I heard a Dune reference in that. "Walk without rhythm, and it won't attract the worm." I hope there are some Dune references later in the game, especially since there's a big desert area with worms in it. I didn't read the whole thread, though.

The accept button of a quest you can get from Dunkoro at the Sunspear Command Post (something to do with a plan he made up) says: "I love it when a plan comes together."

Head SE of Beknur Harbor into Issnur Isles and you'll find a corsair boss within some structures by the name of Ensign Charehli.
