Du Man Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Like how you shouldn't copy music files or they'll go hungry? Then copying Radiohead's 'pay what you want' plan after realizing how much more money you can get by cutting out the middleman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da_man Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 As in song references, like playing "One" after a particularly epic battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinash16 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 i found a new one!!!! its in the developer walkthrough part 4. one of the car upgrades its wagon of bones and its description is "no one will think its a company car" which is a reference to one of schafer's older games Grim Fandango, which is a stunning game might i add... ps... this is my first post =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smon Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Little easter egg in the demo, if you take things slower than usual Eddy will quip off randomly generated dialog. For example if you take a lot of time just avoiding the druids and not pick up the axe Eddy starts rambling on about he's best friends with the Master and that they shouldn't kill him. A little later when you get the altar... leg... car... thing, if you randomly stop as you're going down corpse mountain Eddy starts guessing at lines of his 'evil' prayer.

Snaggletöoth Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Pointed this out to the staff ages ago but for everyone else here it is. That third commentary video (Ozzy in the MotorForge) has a Motorhead reference. The car paint "Ace of Hades" is itself a reference, but the tagline "Let them know you don't wanna live forever" is even more of a clearer reference.

Thrik Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Should probably revive this now the game's out! If anyone spots anything, post it here as I'll be building the easter eggs section up considerably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heheheh. Also, a headbanger voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz seems to be wearing Raz's goggles. He's the one that owns the death rack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jclee89 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 During the mission where you need to guide the tour bus through the swamps, you have to burn a rope so that an enormous razor will fall on a barricade that's blocking the bus. If you fail to notice the rope after a while, Mangus will eventually say 'You Have to Burn the Rope!'. I think it's referencing an Indie flash game called (wait for it) 'You Have to Burn the Rope'.

Phazon_Elite Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I FOUND ONE! Eddie Rigg's father is named Riggnarok, which is a reference to Ragnarok. In Norse Mythology, Ragnarok is the apocalypse, and it is sometimes referred to in metal lyrics. There is also a black metal band named Ragnarok. EDIT: there is also a GWAR album called Ragnarok.

Severe Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Here's one related to the racing minigame: Fletus' car is called the "Squealer", which is a track by AC/DC - the lead singer of which (Brian Johnson) often wears a flat cap like Fletus' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leebot 5000 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 When playing as the tainted coil, Doviculus (played by Tim Curry) will sometimes say "My seed germinates within you." Tim Curry was also in a movie called Legend where one of his quotes was "The evil seed of what you've done germinates within you." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tingler Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 The term "Super Effective!" appears a few times in the game, referencing Double Fine's comic series. Kyle Gass appears, along with the suggestions that he and Jack Black's Eddie "team up" - of course a reference to their spoof metal band Tenacious D. I might be mistaken, but I think that family of bats is meant to be the Osborne family, with Ozzy voicing (and looking like) the Dad Bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggletöoth Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 The bat that Ozzy voices uses song titles as answers when you try to walk in his cave without doing the mission he gives. He says "I don't wanna stop" or "I'm not going away" or "Never say die". The bat also looks like Ozzy from the mid 80's when he looked fairly obese and had long blonde glamstyle hair.

thejinks Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 came across a funny wee thing. if ya search around the beach party and look behind the toilets there is a headbanger being sick with the other rubbin his back. they come out with some amusin lines. like 'dude i need a breathmint' lol among others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykalwane Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Did not realize this till I pulled up the video to show someone what I meant by Holy Diver. The Druids are a reference to the song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sj7UBgVVew8 Also for the Rapers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lidJPARmp68 Rocky area outside the gate area with the anvil head that leads to Lionhead. The area seems to be reference to the Angel Witch cover I may be wrong here, but I think this is the reference for the Ice Area is this cover. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klweUM8wj4g Something that may be reference to someone in Deviculious' army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jclee89 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Found another one! The Headsplitter unit for Ironheade has a skull they mount to the back of the wagon. The skull looks similar to that of a stage prop in the beginning of the comedy movie 'This is Spinal Tap' about a fictional heavy-metal band.

jsward Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Hello everyone. Right, 'The Tingler' already metioned this briefly, but I'm pretty certain that the cannoneer in the "Bring Fiery Death" sub-quests is indeed Kyle - "KG"/"Kage" - Gass; Jack's partner-in-crime in Tenacious D The Monument Viewers have a nod toward both Iron Maiden's Eddie mascot with the screwed on cranium, and The Scorpions' Blackout album cover with the forks over the eyes And finally the Fire Barons bear a striking resemblance to Rob Halford I'm sure I've come across others but I can't bring them to mind right now. Oh, and I feel sure that the hunter whose kill records you have to beat must be someone but I've no idea who. Why they didn't use Ted Nugent is quite beyond me.

Thrik Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 Heh! Quality observations. Thanks for all that jsward, I'll incorporate this into the site soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsward Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Looking through the Trophies last night, a number of them seem to refer, either directly or indirectly, to various metal songs or albums. Some are blatantly obvious, others may simply be the result of my over-active imagination. Ran To The Hills "Run To The Hills" by Iron Maiden. Fistful Of Fog Possibly a reference to "Fistful Of Metal", Anthrax's first album. No More Tears A song by Ozzy. Practice Bloody Practice Presumably referring to "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" by Black Sabbath Iron Fist A Motorhead song. If You Want Blood, You Got It A track by AC/DC and the title of their first live album. A Face Like A Beast I'm thinking this is a nod toward the W.A.S.P. track, "Animal" which is subtitled "(F**k Like A Beast)" Painkiller A song and the title of an album by Judas Priest. Overkill The obvious link would be to the Motorhead track of the same name, although there is also a thrash band called Overkill. Anyone got any others?

CreatureSH Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Further Iron Maiden references: "A number of the beasts" and "Flowerslave", referencing the "The Number of the Beast" and "Powerslave" albums, obviously. Man, they really, really wanted to get Maiden for this, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
