Lulz-worthy GW stuff.

[melime]

  God, I love Guild Wars. Every day I find some awesome new reference. Because I needed something to do while I work on my playlists (I just can't sit here and stare at itunes), I made a list of the ones I've come across on GuildWiki.

• I did a quest the other day which included a ranger spouting Steve Irwin-esque quotes as well as "Ling Wong" the panda (Anchorman).


• Take a look at some of these weapon inscriptions:
  • "I have the power!"
  • "Knowing is Half the Battle"
  • "Leaf on the Wind"
  (Firefly)
  
  • "Serenity now!" (Seinfeld)
• Galstaff the Light, an Ogre-Slaying Knife, and The Darkness, which, yes, you can attack (and if you push Ctrl while you do so, you will exclaim "I'm attacking The Darkness!").


• All of these: "kind of a big deal," "people know me," "I'm very important," and two apparent (possible) upcoming titles, "I have many leather-bound books," and "My apartment smells of rich mahogany" (All from Anchorman)


• A lot of the Hench and NPCs are references to or spout quotes from stuff:
  • Kilroy Stonekin
  • Professor Gai is apparently a Naruto reference, which Krysti will understand, I guess. XD
• A whole lot of skills (spells):
  • "To the Limit!"
  • "For Great Justice!" and "Make Your Time!" (All Your Base)
  • Mark of Rodgort and Rodgort's Invocation ("Rodgort" is "Trogdor" backwards)
  • "The Power is Yours!" (Captain Planet)
  • "Go for the Eyes!" (possibly Baldur's Gate, srsly)
  • ... lots of other Paragon skills
• Funny weapons:
  • Grabthar's Hammer (it says Galaxy Quest, but I seem to remember it being from Anchorman?)
  • The Ugly Stick
  • Vera, which is dropped by a guy named "Jayne" (Firefly)

  That is so not all of them; I'm sure there are tons more I haven't uncovered yet and tons more that I go over my head.
