Speaking of Anet's humor, did anyone else catch the connection between the quest "A Sticky Operation" and having to kill a bunch of Corsair Seamen?

I'm pretty sure there is a quest where the accept option is "I like pie".

Similarly there's a monty python reference of some sort in the quest where you have to kill the Fire Flower thing, but I'll be damned if it hasn't slipped my memory.

There is an insignia (or inscription, dunno what its called again) called "Don't fear the reaper". If anyone an remember, thats a cheat from dungeon keeper.

And don't forget screwing HoD sword owners over with +5 energy greens in Cantha xD

Also, the Black Moa quest had me laugh (so much fuss over a dumb level 20 bird :P)

Also, remember the guy in Old Ascalon that wants his pudding?

Or when Koss said something about "But there's a whole Kournan army between us" and those Sunspears just went "Noooo

There are a lot of hilarious cinematics in Nightfall, Anet did an amazing job with the game. I love it to death.. minus all the bugs and glitches.. -_- There are WAY too many. Which is extremely irritating.

My guess is they weren't completely done with the game, so they just released it half-completely, and since they can just update almost live.

I don't care.

"Enough is enough. I have had it with these Balthazar-blasted drakes in this Balthazar-blasted plain!" - Koss L. Jackson

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

Yeah, then when that mesmer and warrior guy were talking after that horrible Rurik play. In that cutscene there was a funny moment at the end. I'm glad Anet loosened up with this one and didn't get all flatout serious like the others.

I do love their humor. It's just like mine. I think this got me laughing the most in Nightfall so far:

Palawa Joko - "No, No, No! Mummified flesh on the left! Dried bones on the right! No, your other right! You worthless bits of animated anatomy!"

I laughed so hard at that one, i really hope we will se more of Palawa Joko, he is by far my favorite character in nightfalls.
Overall i think the story in nightfalls is alot better than both prophesis and factions, the cutscenes doesnt feel as improvised and the voice acting is really good.
Will be very interesting to see how chapter 4 will turn out.

Also a song by Deep Purple. Will have to finish Prophecies with all characters(almost done, in no hurry), then Factions for a mule, then Nightfall.

The song by Blue Oyster Cult; Don't Fear The Reaper.
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).

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.

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.

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.
