WTF is a Samophlange?!
Yes I used WTF for 2 posts in a row. Sue me. So one of the things I love about World of Warcraft are their obscure references to just the most random shit. Like the quest I was recently on for the Samophlange. So the Samophlange comes from the old cartoon Thundercats. But it’s got an even more specific reference to a soundclip from a set of flubs that got out about 8 or 9 years ago. I kept them around because they’re just a ton of fun. So if you are looking for a Samophlange here’s why :-)
If you want the whole set of flubs grab em here.
I was thinking about making that flub where the voice of Mum-Ra just opens up with “MOTHER FUCKER” a mail alert sound, personally. Somehow I don’t think my coworkers would approve. :)
As for other amusing tidbits; check the name of the bankers in any given town; they usually have some meaning. I think the Ironforge bankers are Barnum and Bailey (and the woman there is something else, I think it’s Soleil) and the bankers in Stormwind are Olivia, Newton, and John.
Little things like that make the game that much more brilliant. :)
“I have to do that again!”
Forgot all about that clip-thx for memory.
