    There's no need to be thorough but if you guys also mention the place/movie/series/etc the reference comes from it'll make my life easier when it comes to adding things to the OP.

    Basically, if possible try to post your references like Day/Mab did (you don't have to add links but they'll be appreciated):

  12. #12

    Great idea!


    Just went through the FATE list and noticed:

    Clever Girls - "Clever girl" is a popular line from Jurassic Park.
    Smells Like Tree Spirit - Nirvana Smells Like Teen Spirit
    Eft For Dead - Left4Dead
    Blood, Augur, Hex, Magic - Blood Sugar Sex Magik is album title of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
    Harder, Bigger, Faster, Stronger - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger is a song by Daft Punk.
    Go Wespe - Go West is a song by the Petshop boys
    Enter Beastman - Enter Sandman is a song my betallica

    The Orange Boxes - Possibly a MGS reference? There is a box with "The Orange" written on it.
    A Freeze Is Coming - Possibly a Song of Ice and Fire reference ("Winter is Coming").

    Probably obvious movie/seriesbook/anime/manga titles:
    Full Metal Alchemist
    V For Vinedetta
    Taken
    The Big Bagoly Theory - The Big Bang Theory
    The Corpse Bribe - The Corpse Bride
    Men Who See Goats - Men who stare at goats
    Breaking Bud - Breaking Bad
    Breaking Dawn - Possibly a Twilight reference.*


    *I did not watch/read Twilight.

    I got really bored a while back and left comments on a whole bunch of XIVDB's FATE/quest pages regarding title references.

    Let's see what I can dig up.

    I am well aware of the hybrid wrestling reference, but I saw this FATE more of an XI homage (as you're fighting "royalty") while the original BCNM title was based off the WWF event.

    Slight correction, "I just died in six arms tonight" is a FATE, not levequest.
