I mentioned Yellowstone National Park.
When I passed through the portal and arrived at the Forgotten Temple, I was amazed at what I found there and commented that it looked like something out of the Lord of the Rings, specifically Minas Tirith in Gondor.
One of the traders in the Forgotten Temple looks like Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc.
As I explored the Forgotten Temple, I mentioned that it felt like an empty shopping mall or one under construction with shops coming soon. I specifically mentioned Applebee’s and Walgreens.
“Lots of space in this mall” is an homage to this from the Blues Brothers.
“I am stuck on Band-Aid brand because Band-Aid’s stuck on me” is an old marketing campaign for Johnson & Johnson’s Band-Aids.
When I encountered the grub with glowing eyes, I called it a “Cujo form of caterpillar”. I also mentioned the Lost Boys as I was being zerg’ed by a squad of goblins.
“No regular battery looks like it or lasts like it” is an old marketing campaign for Duracell batteries.
The linen scraps in the game remind me of old fanfold printer paper. I mentioned the Print Shop from Broderbund software.
I mentioned netherite.
When the lightning storm started up, I talked a bit about getting hit with lightning with comparisons to Vintage Story and Minecraft.
Shortly afterwards, I called my current home a hobbit hole. “Dawn take you all and be stone to you” is a line from the Hobbit. Gandalf said it to the Trolls. I mentioned that I loved the Peter Jackson movies, but the Rankin Bass version is still my favorite.
I mentioned Jeff Bezos.
Pebbles and Bamm Bamm are old cartoon characters.
