Laser Screwdriver: who would use sonic

is a reference to doctor who the greatest show on earth!



Genoclysm -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (7/13/2009 13:11:33)

I doubt it's really a reference, but eastern Greenguard is very reminiscent of Radiata Stories. The ravines around the edges of the regions that had bridges that were gradually built as the story continued... It's even somewhat nostalgic. Now if only there were massive trees to just cut steps into for the bridges...

Golden Staph is evidently a reference to Staphylococcus aureus.


The Staphylococci genus as a whole more like. Staphylococcus aureus is bot one species therein.



Caterpie -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (7/17/2009 15:56:00)

The war shovel 20k in aqw and the Nechrons in warpforce seem to be an obvious reference to warhammer 40k.
And staphylococcous aureus. Aureus means gold. so Golden Staph.



Rhowena -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (7/18/2009 20:58:33)

Lt. Roddenberry and Ensign Fisher, the two people in the back of the Engineering room in WF, are presumably named after Gene Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek, and Carrie Fisher, who played Leia in the original Star Wars trilogy.



sir zeke -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (7/19/2009 18:21:56)

trobble = Tribble(Star Trek)
42 & Beware the Lepoardzard(Upstairs of yulagrs in Door) = The Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy


Trumpeter flamingo = Trumpeter swan

Almost everything form the "Wanderland" quest is form Alice in wonderland by lewis carol

Touche I have been outpunned!

The Star Knights are references to the Jedi Knights, the Uniforce is the Force, the second to last Star Knight is a reference to Obi-Wan. The Gathorans could be Jawas, and their names themselves are from another Star Wars species (name eludes me, but they're pigs).



vezha -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (7/27/2009 13:36:28)

Gamorreans.
Ken Benobi is obviously a reference to Obi-Wan as well(Ben Kenobi)



sir zeke -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (8/2/2009 21:36:55)

The Bat guano quest is a reference to OOTS (The Order of the Stick)

Chaos Gemeralds is a reference to SONIC



goron link8 -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (8/3/2009 18:12:24)

I think the Goo in WF and AQ
is alot like what happened to organisms
near the Die Glocke
because they decomposed into a black goo
plus it was stated that Dark Madder turned them into goo
it would be pretty hard to kill a planets worth of animals
AND then undeadify them



DarkLore -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (8/3/2009 18:43:19)

It appears that most of Greenguard's new characters are a reference to Grimm's Tales. (I.E. The three little wolves and the fact that there is an evil pig is a swap of The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf.



ArchMagus Orodalf -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (8/4/2009 13:11:37)

I love Hennaooine... as opposed to Tattooine. :P



sir zeke -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (8/12/2009 6:58:21)

and the picture of the toilet in the Design notes is areference to the Borg from Star Trek: The Next Generation

And Mick guivore the dwarf with a mullet is a reference to Mcguivere a great TV show



Randomnity -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (8/14/2009 20:26:59)

I just thought of something. Whilst looking at the Nechron Proteans, and the Nechron Exo's, I found an odd similarity to the Flood of the Halo series. Because of how the skin beneath their armor seems to bulge and pulse. It just somehow reminded me of the Flood.



AxelMechRaven -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (8/15/2009 16:34:27)

Here's a post of mine that I pulled from tflo's topic. These are a bunch of Sonic the Hedgehog possible references, parodies, and spoofs.


Anti Rainbow Cannon: A.R.C. Cannon/ Space Colony ARK had a cannon that blew up the frigging moon. (Sonic Adventure 2)
Chaos Gemeralds/ Chaos Emeralds (Sonic in general)
Remember how in Shadow the Hedgehog (If you played it, which I did) on the final level, Black Doom uses the Emeralds to turn into Devil Doom, which was a giant, flying monster.
Vath is trying to use the Gemeralds to summon the Rock Roc. A Roc is a GIANT bird with three heads (in some stories) and can carry elephants in its claws. Barely a connection, but hey, two giant flying monsters.
In the Greenguard quests, you should catch a coincidental reference to Sonic and the Black Knight if you payed attention to the story. King Arthur's monsters are from the UnderWorld. In the Black Knight shop in Greenguard, you can buy the UnderWorld Cloak.
In the AC shop, there's a battle crown that resembles King Arthur's, too. Maybe I'm going overboard, but those are all of mine.
Oh, and while I'm at it, Imperial Armor just barely looks like Arthur's armor.

Wanna compare?
King Arthur: Black Knight
Imperial Armor
Battle Crown

If you have that combination, you could be looking like Sonic and the Black Knight's King Arthur in no time. Even though his armor's gold.

EDIT: Oh, and although WarpForce is full of Sci-Fi references, anyone else notice how in the Command room, when you click on the pilot's hand, you get ZAPPED? Star Trek reference?

I added a few things to the AQW, AQ, MQ, and DF pages. I love TVTropes, awesome site.



PD -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (8/26/2009 9:13:22)

The Mini Magmars and the Magmar Pokemon seem to be spoofs:

1. The Magmar (MQ) has Fire-Type attacks
2. Like Margar from Pokemon, there are Various Versions, or Evolutions of the Mini Magmar (MQ), like the Mini Magmar, Enraged Mini Magmar, Magmar, Pryoslord.
3. Like a Magmortar, it seems that the Magmars (MQ) shoot Fire out of there hands.



goron link8 -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (8/28/2009 21:38:29)

in the new gryphon training mission in DF the griffin's ame is a reference to

family guy



Brandondg -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (9/1/2009 16:53:13)

I've been watching a show called "1000 ways to die" on spike TV. In one of the clips "funny boned" there's a guy named chuck who pretty much laughed himself to death. It triggered a thought on chuckles from AE, and i wondered... was it accidental or just coincidence?

(you can watch the clip if you look up "1000 ways to die: funny boned". the clip is on the spike tvs website aswell.)



135 -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (9/2/2009 13:49:33)

Naruto spoilers follow.

spoiler:

OK, is it just me or does Drakath STRONGLY resemble Sasuke?

http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/9223/drkthuchi.jpg

Also, consider how Drakath killed Chuckles with an eye teqnique, how he hit Alteon with a "cursed seal", how he killed Sepulchure with "Chidori", and how he wrecked Fluffy with black flames (Amertarasu?).

Here's more resemblences:
-Both are dark, moody, and somewhat stoic.
-Both give dramatic/cool speeches about themselves.
-Both are chaos-alinged
-Both start out as noobs. As they gain power, they also gain minions (13 lords of chaos/Taka) and a cool sword.
-Both have a "released" form, where they gain a pair of creepy wings.
-Both use eye-based powers.
-Both are purple.
-Both, after obtaining power, killed their bosses (Sepulchure/Orochimaru)
-Both have changing eye colors(Drakth goes from green to red; Sasuke goes from black to red) when they use their power.
-Both go from an undering to a boss aligned with only themselves.



Hmmm.



Genoclysm -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (9/2/2009 14:24:02)

Both are also full of cliches (what characters aren't full of them anymore?), except for
spoiler:

those creepy flesh-hand-wings.


All those attacks are just as cliched if not more so.



135 -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (9/3/2009 20:10:02)

lol, yea, those are somewhat...unplesant.



goron link8 -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (9/4/2009 17:59:52)

shearhide the unmagic dragon is an opposite of puff the magic dragon



The Braken Bard -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (9/14/2009 12:31:40)

I'm sorry if this doesn't belong here but:
quote:

One of the quests in Dwarfhold, Rock Me Amadeus. A song called Rock Me Amadeus.
Holy Hand Grenade in Monty Python and the Holy Grail (keep going down until it says something about a rabbit and a Holy Hand Grenade)
The Scorpion King boss a reference to Dwayne Johnson and his role in the movie, The Scorpion King.
A dwarf and a show called McGuyver (sorry no link to the Wikipedia, none available). They also seem to have a similar 'do. Sorry if this is a little vague.



Genoclysm -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (9/14/2009 13:06:14)

This is exactly where that sort of thing belongs. I didn't know about that first one.
