Talk:Ingame References

o,o and there we go! of course, there's a debate about expanding this, so this page might go away soon and be split into a dozen pages instead... in the mean time, a space to drop these into until things get more complicated! (and why is everyone waiting for me to make these instead of doing them themselves?) --Sleepy Kitty 14:07, 26 October 2006 (PDT)

Category?

Perhaps we need a new category. In-jokes doesn't seem to fit in my opinion. - Snorii 07:23, 29 October 2006 (PST)

o.o well... a number of them are.. at least what was first added was, what we have now isn't as such anymore ^^;; you'll note that above I mention that this will probably be split into several categories.. perhapse split it and have the overall category page be under in-jokes? --Sleepy Kitty 11:16, 29 October 2006 (PST)

Issues

I've started populating the issues section. They are usually named for chapters in books. There used to be a link on the official boards talking about this, but I can't find it. I don't remember all of them.

Issue 2: A Shadow of the Past Issue 3: A Council of War Issue 4: Colosseum Issue 5: Forest of Dread Issue 6: City of Villains Issue 7: A Hero's Destiny Manifest Issue 8: Break Through

• "The Colosseum" - Chapter 34 of The Count of Monte Cristo

You're so smart, Snorii :D Rachael Storm 08:42, 1 March 2007 (PST)

I'd love to take credit, but all of those came from the official forums.  :) - Snorii 10:45, 1 March 2007 (PST)

Just say "Thank you Rachael" :D Rachael Storm 14:22, 1 March 2007 (PST)

Thank you Rachael. :D - Snorii 14:33, 1 March 2007 (PST)

Dark Waters

I previously added that 'Dark Waters, a zone in Brickstown might refer to The Pirates of Dark Water and the evil substance known as "Dark Water" that was consuming the alien world of Mer. After thinking about it, I'm pretty sure this isn't the case though. I vaguely remember either Statesman or Manticore saying something about Brickstown and references to Mesopotamia. - Snorii 10:44, 1 March 2007 (PST)

Salvage

I hope it's OK, but I've added a category for Salvage with the opening of Issue 9 to the public. I decided to do this when I was on test and received the salvage of "Inanimate Carbon Rod" and immediately got the reference.

Coffee

The Paragon City main font file explicitly states that it was based on the Eight O'Clock Coffee text. Not sure where one would put this, but this article seems the prime candidate.

Police Band Missions

OK, I admit I'm not the biggest Bowie expert in the world or anything, but are we sure the reference for Mazzy Stardusk is correct? Every time I see that name, the first thing that comes to my mind is a Mazzy Star reference. Maybe there's a common thread between the two (that I haven't managed to find)? --Eabrace 17:04, 21 June 2007 (EDT)

Mundane Weapons

Why do we have a list of weapons here? The fact that the game has an "uzi" in it is not really a reference to anything.--GreyDog 15:08, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
