More Information
  • Red Bull is an energy drink and their marketing slogan is that “it gives you wings”.  “Wizard needs food badly” is an old video gamer trope.
  • I mentioned Thorin Oakenshield and his band and referenced the instructions from Gandalf to not stray from the path through Mirkwood.
  • “Out of the mouths of babes” is an idiom in English that comes from the Bible.
  • I mentioned that the Scavenger I was fighting had a “Rocketeer” helmet… well… not quite, but it definitely reminded me of it.
  • After the Scavenger seemingly flew up a sheer wall, I called him Peter Parker.
  • After reading another bit of lore from Balthazar, I commented that he seemed to be the Doc Brown of this world.
  • I can now craft much better armor through the blacksmith, but the fur armor I can ask him to create will make me look like a cross between a Mongol warrior and a raider out of Mad Max.
  • When talking about the next episode, I mentioned Martha Stewart and Bob Vila.
