Comradebot Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Good to see the "reference" post of the month is up! Other Whedon references (just a few of them, don't want to snage them all!) Aud D'Hoffryn The Big Bad There's a few more of those... Grissom Auditorium located in Las Vegas (CSI! The uncrappyish one!) Loxley Robbins (LAHAHAHAHA, MR. HOOD!) And two of my favorites isn't even the default database, but 2008's 1975 mod: Kaiser Grund and Wolfgang Lorenz (Nicht Meir) take their names from members of 70s German punk band Big Balls & The Great White Idiot. Good job, Mr T! Who, in the same database, references a pair of (super lame) characters from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmoe Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Ditto. But you know I kinda of like it. Origin and definition please, Brother Shmoe? Well I would say the origin is the result of being intoxicated with my buddies, mainly. Just, the phrase "beef" is pretty common with people who are annoyed or aggressive towards each other, especially around where I live, and it was just decided that if people have beef, they need to take it out the oven, let it cool off. Maybe have it a bit later with some coleslaw or something. I hope this was educational for you all! Back on topic, anybody else think the name Ripper LeStat has something to do with Interview with a Vampire or whatever it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Celt Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Randall Hophirk is apparently a reference to Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased), a late 1960s British private detective television series, which had a remake in the 2000s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Roguey Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 After going through the pictures in the game folder, I came across a worker called Ice Ice Davey. Is Mr. Ryland a closet Vanilla Ice fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossblackwell Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Beast Bantom= Martyn Staddon = a mutal friend from Birmingham Jimmy J = Possibly another mutual friend. Leighton Buzzard is a future worked named after a UK Town Brickhouse Baldo=Bobo Baldo - former Celtic footballer Andriy Boronin=Andriy Voronin former Liverpool player Chopper Rourke=Chopper Reed Aussie nutcase criminal Joey Beuchamp=Footballer of the same name played for Oxford & West Ham I think Kalu Owusu - Lloyd Owusu uk footballer-that might be clutching at straws. Wolfgang Klose=Miroslav Klose German footballer Xavi - Spanish footballer A few of those aren't really reference's but just using the other persons names.

Kluge Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Angry Gilmore is not a Happy Gilmore joke, as Adam says in this thread http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33583 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebsplex Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 When you select a champion in the roster screen, the belt that indicates this person is a champ is the Attitude Era WWF Belt. I've got three words for ya: No $hit Sherlock. Actually it's a freebie prop for DAZ Studio/Poser and not distributed or owned by the WWF/WWE, so any resemblance would be purely coincidental.

shadowmaster Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 How about ... Owen Love = Owen Hart Or is that a reach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg McNeish Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 They don't seem to share anything more than first name, nationality, and profession, so yeah, I'd say that's reaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowmaster Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Well, the image looks similar to Owen Hart and Heart and Love are quite interchangeable, i.e. I heart you. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg McNeish Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 The Hart -> Heart -> Love thing hadn't occured to me. I suppose that's possible. I'd be totally cool with an Owen tribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomzero Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I just now got this one... Ash Campbell Ash Williams, played by Bruce Campbell! Huzzah. That name had always rung a bell with me for some reason, and now I know why. Unrelated... Rolling Johnny Stones clearly has sort of a Mick Jagger thing going.

D-Lyrium Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Aud D'Hoffryn. I noticed this one (Aud was Anya's original name back in the 10th century before the demon - D'Hoffryn - made her into a vengence demon), but I recently watched Triangle and noticed in the credits that the actor that played Olaf, Aud's 10th century lover slash troll thing, is called Abraham Benrubi. Abraham Slam/Bully Benrubi. Yeah! Totally worth ressurecting this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
