Anyone else get the feeling that the change to Crocs instead of Hippos inside the Bog was a nod to the old boy? I think it's neat. Even if it's not, the rest of us that thought something like that would be neat could cap one for him in-game :-)

ts a friggin crocodile, why do you people have to asume ther are random connections to other things?

you find them in a swamp, is it so weird for a croc to be in a swamp?

Because people have posted about randomly hidden monty python references among other things. And I still see people shout out randomly in games I play "we love you steve"?

yes but how is a crocodile supposed to be a refrence to steve irwin? Its an animal that lives in teh wild, something its done millions of years before irwin as even born. Saying a croc is a refrence to steve irwin is like saying a little kid is a refrence to michael jackson.

now if there was an npc yelling "cricky", or a killer stingray in the game, you may be on to something. but as of now, nom a random animal has nothing to do with a tv star that talked about them.

I think its the fact that it changed. People notice changes, and wonder why they happened.

Now what I want to see is a crocodile that says 'Crikey'.

People assume that because they completely removed another pet to add the crocs in :\

Easy killer, what harm does it do to speculate? If it annoys you so much that people post questions, don't reply or click "Back" and leave the topic.

The Crocodile Hunter - Crocs in the Game? His near obsession with them?

How do they have nothing to do with each other?

you are right - every time a crocodile is depicted, described, signified, or symbolized, for the rest of time, no matter what the context is, it will always be a direct reference to Steve Irwin. In fact, we should stop calling them crocodiles, we should call them Steve Irwins.

There are random references to media and culture found in this game. Take Stephen Colbert for example. Bears are heartless, godless killing machines and are on notice! As said by a collector in Elona... Or "Snakes on a Plane", if only Koss was voiced by Samuel Jackson. I find them to be a fun diversion. I doubt that just cause crocs are there in the swamp that it's for Mr. Irwin.

Bullshat, it must be because all I've seen you do since the AI updates on Thu is bitch at anyone who complains, put everyone else down, all the while inflating your own ego and flaunting your superiority and arrogance. Just like so many other insecure "kiddies" on the internet (I don't care how old you are, you are acting like a child). Classic compensation syndrome.

We can all see quite clearly that you are better than us. Far better than us. You would never complain about anything. You rule. Total and utterly rule. We all are in complete and utter awe of your special skill and power.

Now please just go away, we can only take so much greatness at once. It's making us all feel bad.

Oh noeesss! I feel so inferior now, i think i lol'd. On the other hand, i think we should just go ahead and call all crocodiles "steve irwins". Why not? He WAS called "The CROCODILE Hunter" was he not? If there was a stingray in the game? Now how would that make it a Steve tribute? THEY have been around longer than he was alive as well. Your contradicting yourself lad. Calm down, go have a twinky or something, then behave. Why can't we all just get along and get back to hating on the WoW community? lol

Because sting rays are have only caused 17 deaths in the last 20 years, Irwin being the most recent. making it a much more likely connection Comprende. while crocodiles just being in wild happens every second.

comon, try harder

Right so you think death ratios or how he died makes a difference, come now! Had that twinkie yet? Ready to get along with the rest of society or are you gonna emo yourself the rest of the time, Mr Superior lol!

Ok ok, you know what, for all i care, you can say panda bears relate to steve irwin more than crocs or Australia. After this post, I won't be coming back, cuz I know when im up against someone better than me, or someone that's just trying to annoy everyone lol. You'd be the latter, Aww!
