Easter Eggs

[WarriorPwner]

Ok , well I didn't know where exactly where to post this so im putting it here. Enjoy!

TREKKIE REFERENCE: In Booty Bay, just outside the inn, you’ll encounter Chief Engineer Scooty manning a teleportation device. If you have a quest that takes you through the device, you’ll find a character named Sprok and his away team.


MATRIX REFERENCE: On your way to the Ironforge Auction House, ask one of the guards the location of the alchemy trainer. One of his answers will be, “why, oh why didn’t I take the blue potion?”

FIGHT CLUB: Further into the Undercity, in the War Quarter, there’s an honest to God Fight Club where you’ll find two NPC fighters named Edward and Tyler.

GHOSTBUSTERS REFERENCE: Another movie reference can be found in the Mage Quarters of Stormwind. There, you’ll find three mages-in-training talking shop. Hang around long enough and one of them will say “wouldn’t that be bad, like crossing the streams bad?”

STAR WARS: The Shimmering Flats. Peek around a bit and you’ll find a goblin race team with a very familiar looking vehicle—Blizzard’s version of Sebulba’s podracer from Episode I. Do a little more exploring and you’ll also find a wrecked podracer which smacked into a canyon walls.

CONAN: In the Badlands around the middle of the map is a semi-hidden crypt. Enter the crypt and you’ll see a decomposed guy sitting on a throne with a sword to his side. It’s a scene from the first Conan movie.

BRUCE CAMPBELL TRIBUTE: In Dun Mo-rogh, just south of Kharanos, there’s a small camp where a group of dwarves are taking target practice. Hang around long enough and you’ll hear one of the dwarves scream out: “This is my boomstick!”

BOOK REFRERENCES: In the upper levels of Booty Bay, there’s a clothing shop named “A Tailor to Cities,” an homage to Charles Dicken’s A Tales of Two Cities. And in the Undead capital, the Undercity, you’ll find Algernon at the alchemy trainer’s holding a flower. This is a nod to Daniel Keyes’ novel Flowers for Algernon.

MEMORIAL: Blizzard designers also left a tribute to fallen comrade. In the Barrens, atop a hill just southwest of Crossroads sits a small shrine. Here, you’ll find a memorial dedicated to an Orc with the initials “M-K.” In the real world, M K was Michel Koiter, a Blizzard illustrator who passed away during production of World of Warcraft.

To reach the memorial, follow a ridge to the southeast and half-way up the hill you’ll find the base of a mound. Go up the short trail to reach the shrine. As a little bonus, if you visit the memorial in spirit form you’ll find a spirit healer named Koiter.

GAME REFERENCES: While fighting your way through the Deadmines to get VanCleef’s head you’ll encounter a Goblin Shredder. Take it down and look at the dashboard and you’ll see a familiar face: Kerrigan, The Zerg Queen from Starcraft: Brood War. She appears to be the ruler of the goblins as well. Other goblin shredders can be found in Strangle-thorn Vale and Gadget-zan.

In northern Un’goro Crater, there’s a place I’ve started calling “Camp Nintendo.” Two residents of the camp are the feuding brothers, Larion and Muigi. If those names sound a bit familiar, they should, they’re anagrams of Mario and Luigi; and the battling brothers are even decked out in red and green overalls.

Deep in the Uldaman instance, you’ll find a friendly refuge manned by three dwarves: Baelog, Olaf and Erik “The Swift.” Dedicated gamers should recognize these dudes from The Lost Vikings—the first game Blizzard created for the Super Nintendo back in ‘92.

[Maverike]

took from Scarmaker's post of easter eggs:

Name: Binary
Location: Dun Morgoh - Gnomeregan
Coordinates: N/A
Easter Egg: The 3005 Punch Card Machines all have numbers on them, which in
binary translate to various phrases, you can get the following:
"Thrall and Jaina sitting ina tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G"

"If you can read this u're standing too close"

"The gnome king wears night elf underwear"

"Help! I'm trapped in a binary punch card factory!"
(Play on the popular line of "Help! I'm trapped in a X factory.")

"Tell your friends to play WoW"

"Play the Warcarft roleplaying game"
(I think this is from the banners that used to span the top part of
Battle.Net in Warcraft 3 and Starcraft.)

"Kiss me, I'm gnomish!"
("Toast" says this is a refernce to a Simpsons Tree House of Horror
Episode, but I'm fairly certain, being Irish myself, that this is a play on the
bumpersticker/t-shirt phrase "Kiss Me, I'm Irish". Although I guess it could
be a reference to The Simpsons.)

"The Lich King lives!"
(Tsuru Hiromi Inochi tells me this is a refrence to Elvis Presley. The
fact that Elvis had a closed coffin funeral and many thought he was still
alive or did not want to belive that the King of Rock'n'Roll was dead. "The
KingLives!".)

"Go go go!!"
(Starcraft Marine Reference Here I Think)

"Natalie Portman Rocks"

"Gnomeregan forever!"

"Play More WoW"
