New Battlefields (05/02/2011)

I know the HQ hedgehog pie... porcupine pie? Said something about "serve this up at any gathering, and it will be gone faster than you can say, 'sonic.'" or something, think it's a Sonic the hedgehog reference.
Then the Boscaiola +1's description: "There are enough mushrooms in this scrumptious pasta to make any moustached plumber jump for joy."

This reminds me that the Hedgehog Pie monster type has yet to get a XI incarnation.

Bloody Rondo?

I'm a page late but "Bloody Rondo" was always my favorite one. It's a reference to Dave Brubeck's fantastic jazz song, "Blue Rondo à la Turk."

I've never heard him say it, but I'm pretty sure that song was an influence of Uematsu's early style (think battle themes). Around 1:19 sounds just like something from FFVII

Damn. That seems more reasonable. And much less interesting.

[Sagacious Sundi]

I seem to recall this Bastok quest about Moblin religion or something, and one of the options is "I CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!".

[Byrthnoth]

That may have been the Return to the Depths series. Pretty funny, obscure, and gives an awesome title. Not quite as good as the cop timetravelling quests though, imop.

[Necronus]

Purple, the New Black - I took this as a reference to the Josie and the Pussycats movie

And lets not forget the Highlander Lizard ... There can only be one!
