"A Brief History of Cyrodiil"

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 2:56 pm

I had to do a double take. "Really?" I thought. But sure enough, Noah Berry referenced one of my favorite 90s bands in the article, right under the noses of many readers, in a couple of the subsection headings.

Article:

The following were Nirvana references:

We Could Plant a House, We Could Build a Tree


Direct quote from the song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNYgNpAX__M by Nirvana. This was followed by:

Out of the Ground, Into the Sky


Direct quote from the song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4p1I7o0nY4&feature=related by Nirvana (hilariously, the song actually sounds kind of ape-swinging-through-the-trees-like).

Now, maybe it's a mad coincidence, but I think not. I know plenty of people who like to be clever and sneak hidden jokes or references in their writing. But am I the only one who noticed? Was there another thread made on this that I missed?

Interesting...

They did a similar reference to Nightwish, Gnarls Barkley and other music artists :)

I wonder if they′ll fit in The Day That Never Comes with Metallica? :hubbahubba:

I thought the Nightwish one was cool, being as one of the two references is to (imo) one of the best albums ever.
