Ive been noticing on f2p alot lately

 

I mean as old as Romeo and Juliet

 

 

 

OF any1 examined Fortunato it says: "Looks like he could do witha sip of Amontillado:

 

I find this funny since i just got done reading the short story

 

"The Cask of Amontillado" where fortunato gets taken to his death place and hung there under the pretext" To taste some amontillado"

 

 

 

I found it interesting

 

 

 

Also Fortunato is the Antichrists 2nd hand man in the Left Behing Series

Yea, I've noticed this. They seem to like to mock things in well-known books or stories. :lol:

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.

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.

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!

Theres a Pulp Fiction reference in Underground Pass quest. The ezikiel:17 speech.

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.

wait, where is the forunato that gives the amantillado examine? of all the references to remembre i thought i would've remembered that. which i didn't. which makes me mad.

my friend on rs has a hitchhikers guide to the galaxy name so maybe you saw him (thx4thefish) or maybe you saw his lvl 3 scout (ta4thefish)

 

if it wasnt a player you saw then im gonna have do a fair bit of exploring as im a pretty big hitchikers fan.

 

now as a tool fan i find miss schism pretty funny (oposite the bank in draynor) and for all of you who are going what?! schism is a tool song...

hahahahahaha thats well good...sums up the planet in a nutshell really.

The last part in the Rat Catchers quest is an obvious reference to the Pied Piper of Hamelin.

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.

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.

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

"He's a lumberjack and he's okay"

 

 

 

Examine the lumberjack on Miscelania.

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

when you examine the genie in spirits of the elid quest it makes a reference to aladdin.. What is was escapes me it was something about living space....
