Good penalization Have you ever realized just how many references there are to “pop culture” in the World of Warcraft games? Well, there are LOTS! If you're same me, you'll find this stuff fascinating. Some of these things are way obvious, but some of them are pretty obscure. It makes you wonder...did these guys deliberately sit around and put these references in, or were they just a uncolored result of being a part of today's society? Either way, it makes for some pretty interesting reading, and it will definitely intend you watching for more references (because I'm not gonna tell you all of them in this article – maybe not even in ANY article....mmwwaahahaha).

Ok, back to the real me...or WAS that the real me? Anyway, let's intend started with the imbibe culture references. But where to start? Warcraft? Warcraft II? Warcraft III? World of Warcraft? The Burning Crusade? Yes, it's true. They've ALL got loads of imbibe culture references. But let's start at the beginning, shall we? Since they started out light, we will too. But not to worry – there are plenty more where these come from!
In Warcraft: Humans and Orcs, to enable cheat mode, you type “Corwin of Amber. Corwin is a character in a series of books called The Chronicles of Amber, by Roger Zelazny.
But we're just getting started! Let's move on to Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness. 1. The sound effects of the sword fighting are taken directly from the soundtrack of the Black Knight scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
2. The cheat code for unlimited mana and all spells researched is “every lowercase thing she does”. This, of course, is a line from the Police song “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic”. Cool, huh?
3. How about this... “onscreen” is a map cheat code and “makeitso” is a fast build cheat. If those phrases sound familiar, it's because they are frequently used by Captain Picard on Star Trek TNG! Also from the show, “It is a good day to die”, a Klingon proverb, is an invulnerability cheat. The REAL origin of that phrase, though, lies in Greek history. At the Battle of Thermopylae. Leonidas' army had no chance of winning against the Persians, and this phrase is what he said to the Persian emissary who came to ask for his surrender.
Now on to Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos/The Frozen Throne. If I listed them all here, this article would go on forever. However, I will list some of the one I personally find particularly hilarious.
• \"Nananananananana... ME!!\" -Troll Batrider (Batman)
• “Look! In the Sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's me!” -Windrider (Superman)
• “Mortar Kombat!” -Dwarven Mortar Team (Mortal Kombat)
• “I stole your precious” -Spellbreaker (Gollum in LOTR)
• “In the depths, no one crapper center you scream. Well...they can, but it's really muffled.” -Naga Royal Guard (famous line from Alien...sorta...LOL)
• “There is no Banshee, exclusive ZUUL!” -Banshee (Sigourney Weaver again, this time in Ghostbusters)
• “There is no spoon.” This cheat for unlimited mana comes from The Matrix.
• “Say hello to my lowercase friend.” -Troll Headhunter (Al Pacino in Scarface)
• “keysersoze” is a cheat code to intend extra gold. It refers, of course, to the movie The Usual Suspects, in which Keyser Soze is the mysterious crime boss...*wink*.
• Monty Python and the Holy Grail: these are just a few...
* ”I never feature NI!” -Knight (The Knights who feature Ni)
