Grey Dog Softwear Arena


Recommended Posts

I been playing Tew2010 A LOT. And I just found that Arena does anyone use it? I wonder who made the map error? lol

 

It wasn't an error and that was my handiwork. Turned out to be a bit of an easter egg. Putting it in the Southwest US would just make it obvious IMO. If you want an obvious one, how about Murdoch Corp Stadium...in Australia. YourSpace Arena as well. And I think Reliquary of Scale was me too (got the name from EverQuest. It's part of the name of a zone :p). Sounded like someplace DRAGON magazine would host events at or something.

No I was saying that the detail said because of a map error it got build in Australia instead of England, I was just saying who screw up lol.

 

What do you mean Murdoch Corp Stadium? I from America don't know what your talking about.

I'm from America too (though we like to think Brooklyn is its own country, technically it's not :p). As stated, if you've ever heard of 'Fox News' used in a way other than simply naming a cable channel, you've probably heard of Rupert Murdoch. He was the one who, way back in the day, started the Fox TV network (breaking the 'Big Three's' monopoly on broadcast TV) and allowed HIS network to broadcast a cartoon in prime time (you may have heard of it. Little show called 'The Simpsons'?).

 

But yeah, he's probably the best known Australian among business types and, until the sale goes through, owner of MySpace (and the New York Post and the LA Dodgers (at one time) and Dow Jones & The Wall Street Journal, heck look here for the list). I figured it wouldn't be too farfetched to have them buy naming rights on a stadium on their home turf.

 

Anyway, I think I only contributed to Australia and that was for TEW08. But yeah, Adam hides easter eggs all over the game. :)

On this subject (or at least similar) I'm pretty sure "Phoenix Nights" club in he North UK, is a reference to the Peter Kay, Dave Spikey and Neil Fitzmaurice UK sitcom of the same name.

 

I've noticed that before. It made me chuckle. Imagine all the old dears turning up to watch wrestling and Dave Spikey's character (St Clair, can't remember the christian name) being ring announcer. :D
