]]> By: That which was veiled - chapter one page titles « Thoughts for Food http://beyondthetree.wordpress.com/2008/03/20/all-adventures-start-somewhere/#comment-706 That which was veiled - chapter one page titles « Thoughts for Food Wed, 22 Oct 2008 20:18:27 +0000 http://beyondthetree.wordpress.com/2008/03/20/15/#comment-706 [...] #00 - “All Adventures Start Somewhere” The start of everything. The page title is more or less purely factual. #01 - “Auberdine” Second serious page title, before they started to become more clever. #02 - Intermission: “The Next Level” With the central joke being a fourth wall one about levelling up, the title the next level was more or less given. #03 - “Ancient of Bore” Onu is an Ancient of Lore indulging in a whoooole lot of not-too-exciting exposition. A play of words on the fact. #04 - “Twilight’s Hammered” A play of words on the cult named the Twilight’s Hammer. Previously named “Dork Stranded” (play of words on the Dark Strand cult) because I got things mixed up something fierce for awhile early on there. #05 - “Onu Says” One of the things that always amused me was the mini-event happening after you finish the Return to Onu quest, where Onu is truck by a backlash of magical energy. It ends with Onu says: “Hmm.”. This page title refers to that. #06 - Intermission: “Onu Also Says” Being basically a joke/outtake based on Onu Says, I thought Onu Also Says would be a good name for this particular intermission. #07 - “Not Some Simple Jest” One of the things that the Shade of Aran - a boss in the Karazhan instance - might end up yelling when you fight him is “I am not some simple jester! I am Nielas Aran!”. Seeing how this page takes place in Ameth’Aran, I thought it was a fun reference to sneak in. #08 - “Hellish Fiends” Another thing the Shade of Aran might say is “Burn you hellish fiends!”. As we moved on to Bashal’Aran, I snuck in two quotes in a row, just to make it slightly more an obvious reference. #09 - “Radio Na Ga” The first in a long line of song references, this is a reference to the Queen song Radio Ga Ga. #10 - “Run Run Away” Another song reference, Run Runaway is a song that I thought was made by Great Big Sea but was apparently a cover version with the original made by a group called Slade, Wikipedia tells me. #11 - “Sweet Dreams are Made Of..” Our first Tyrande Dream is titled after the song Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) by Eurythmics #12 - “Just Passing Through” A boring, uninventive and mostly factual title, though Hani Foonmall does state “Just passing through” fairly early on in it. #13 - “Piscis Iactus Est” A latin phrase meant to mean “the fish is cast” - a play on the famous Alea Iacta Est (”the die is cast”) reportedly said by Julius Caesar. #14 - “Ever Dance with the Devilfish..” A reference to Batman, or rather the Joker in Tim Burton’s Batman - Jack Napier / the Joker is fond of saying “Ever Dance with the Devil in the Pale Moonlight?” to his ‘prey’ as he “likes the sound of it”. #15 - Intermission: “A Different Kind of Burning” An Intermission that openly and utterly mocks the Burning Legion, hence a different kind of burning. #16 - “Tree’s a Crowd” Play of words on the saying Three’s a Crowd, seeing how Onu is, essentially, a walking and talking tree. #17 - “The Beached Ashenwhale” Play of words on Ashenvale Forest - I’ve been known to occasionally state “The Ashenwhale has been Beached!” in the guildchat of my old guild, the Lights of Elune. #18 - “Prior Aquaintances” Boring factual title, meant as emphasis that Te’len Nila (first introduced here) and Tiny already know eachother (not that it needs further emphasis) #19 - “Maestra’s Posted” This page, like nearly all pages involving Maestra’s Post, has some play of words regarding postal services, because I’ve been unable to resist. #20 - “A Walk in the Woods” Boring factual title, couldn’t come up with anything better at the time. #21 - “Kneel before Zoram” Reference to Superman II where villain General Zod has a line that goes “Come to me, son of Jor-El! Kneel before Zod!” #22 - “It’s Unfathomably Deep” Play of words on Blackfathom Deeps, which’s where we’re headed into. #23 - “It’s Also Unfathomably Black” Also a play of words on Blackfathom Deeps - why waste a perfectly good joke? #24 - “Dead Pan Speech” Reference to the ancient greek god of nature, Pan, connected to greek Satyrs (as the duo are killing one in this page). It’s also a play of words on the term Deadpan, which arguably the duo employ throughout this page. #25 - “Not so Teenage” Totally a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reference. #26 - “Cult Status” Play of Words (well, not really) of the term Cult following, as the duo happen upon the Twilight’s Hammer cult again. #27 - “Last Man Stumbling” Play of words on the saying Last Man Standing, as the duo don’t quite keep standing at the end of it. #28 - “A Disturbance in the..” ..Force, obviously. Also because Twilight Lord Kelris has a habit of yelling Who Disturbs my Meditation?! when aggroed. #29 - “Fighting Style” Play of Words, both on the generic concept of a Fighting style, as well as the fact that the duo spends some time in the page fighting a mysteriously green and rather stylish cultist. #30 - “I See Double Doors” A very obscure MacGyver reference - there’s an episode of MacGyver where MacGyver’s friend Jack Dalton has been brainwashed and they use hypnosis to try to find out who did it and why; when asked what he first sees, he responds “Double doors”. Yes, I know it’s far-fetched. #31 - “I’a Hydra” Reference to Mother Hydra consort to Father Dagon, in the Cthulhu Mythos. “I’a” is a term of reverence of some sort, I think. (I’a Cthulhu, I’a Dagon and I’a Hydra are all repeated in Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth) #32 - “Bravedwarf” Obscure Braveheart reference - Morridune the dwarf was set free, so perhaps he’s in a position to yell “Frrrrreeeeeeeeedooooommmmmm!”?
