Kewl_Sabre Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Yea, I've noticed this. They seem to like to mock things in well-known books or stories. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Elephant Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I thought I remembered seeing a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference somewhere, but I don't remember exactly what it was or who said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogfever Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 A truth universally acknowledged is that programmers love sticking random cultural references and other easter eggs into their programs. This is not limited to game programs either, I work with a particularly boring piece of command line based software handling matrices and statistics which produces random sentences if the word 'why' is inserted into the command line (not as funny as it might be but a couple of hours tinkering in the code produces much more satisfying results). I guess after hours of implementing java swing or whatever code you prefer you have to let off steam somehow. I have seen a few references even in my brief experience of RS2 although what they were escapes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RincewindSW Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I found this 5 minutes agowhen I examined a rat that I thought was a bird (or something...). I was informed that it was "a popular dwarven delicacy", which I am rather sure is a homage to the dwarves of the Discworld series! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satenza Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Theres a Pulp Fiction reference in Underground Pass quest. The ezikiel:17 speech. With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_K Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Mr Jekyll and Mister Hyde, Frekenstrain for example. Apart from literacy referances its full of film, TV, and other games references too. They like to reward the casual examiner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still going what. It is highly unlikely it was named after the song imo. http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=schism&gwp=13 If it was it'd be a pretty obscure and oblique reference.

Bubsa Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 There are so many Monty Python references in Miscellania it's untrue. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSoultar Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 There are so many Monty Python references in Miscellania it's untrue. Monty Python references are just about everywhere. Jagex has also put in quite a few Austin Powers references. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astucio Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 There is also, of course, the infamous Robin Hood lurking in an unlikely pub in Port Phasmatys. It's quite funny to see all of these references, although, some people just don't get it. I have come across a few people who see them and they know that they are references to certain outside things and they blame jagex for not being very creative because they 'steal' or 'change a little bit' the name of something else because they can't think of anything themselves :roll: Never mind... Though, I have to say, calling some islands Miscellania and Etceteria isn't exactly cutting edge :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubsa Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Sorry to resurrect this, but I was just watching the film Robin Hood on TV and realised the witch was called Mortianna - which is a lot like Morytania, which is very witch like itself :P This is how much you all raised for charity.
