If you’ve got the stomach…
For players of World of Warcraft, a list of fun items and easter eggs only adds to the addiction. I’ll be taking my time to narrow the list to some of the best ones. For you, the Steelbuddha reader.
After all, no one wants to wade through the numerouds bitchy and double/triple/hundredple posts, least of all you, the Steelbuddha reader.
For the literary mind:
- The 1 Ring. Also, humans give a bit of a long-winded satire of Tolkien’s work as one of their /silly responses.
- Hemet Nesingwary (an anagram of Ernest Hemingway) and his expedition ask you to prove your worthiness as a hunter of wild beasts and to return pages of Hemet’s manuscript, The Green Hills of Stranglethorn
Historical myth and fact exploited:
- Nessy [.jpg] can be found in the aquatic section of the Deeprun Tram if you like dodging trains.
- Blizzard found Jimmy Hoffa.
Numerous Shrek-like pop culture movie references, though funnier, geekier and better masked:
- Scooty
and Sprok stand in front of transporters in Gnomeregan and Stranglethorn Vale. - You can find the Six Demon Bag, without having to deal with Egg Chen.
- There is a goblin racing machine crashed into the side of a cliff. No word as to Buckaroo Banzai’s whereabouts.
- One goblin racing machine is clearly modeled after the podracer from the ill-received “Phantom Menace.”
- Woo Ping [.jpg] is selling two games at once, baby. He’s that fast.
Some people make their own fun (or is that pwn fun?):
That’s all the ones I’m going to filter. There are several more worth knowing, but you’d have to deal with the same idiocy on the boards that I did. And you, the Steelbuddha reader, are obviously above all that. Should you change your mind and want to read through them: WoW General Discussion –
