Line 12:
* [[The Secret of Monkey Island]] gets at least two: the flavour text for Grog uses part of the game's recipe, and The Helm of Threepwood.
* A [[Golden Axe]] is present as a unique weapon, complete with [[Lampshade Hanging]] on how impractical gold is for a weapon metal.
* A top-tier sword features the following description: "[[Confusion Fu|This sword always strikes in every way it possibly would. Battery operated]]". The name of the weapon is, of course, "Doul's Possible Sword" from [[
* The Aluminum Tube's description: "This is irrefutable evidence of Dredmor's nefarious plans." Compare to this ''[[Star Control]] II'' quote:
{{quote| '''Fwiffo:''' As yet, '''The Ultimate Evil''' remains largely unmanifest, and its powers and exact intentions are still a bit obscure ... since it lurks just outside the range of even the most sensitive, long-range detectors ... which we feel gives conclusive evidence as to '''The Ultimate Evil's''' nefarious intent.}}
** And it was supposed to be a shout-out to Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, being used as one of ingredients for crafting Bolts of Mass Destruction. Sadly, [[Gameplay and Story Segregation|Gameplay And Shout Out Segregation]] meant that the recipe had to be changed.
* The "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
* The final skill in the [[Dual-Wielding]] line is blatantly called "[[Overused Copycat Character|Not Drizzt]]".
* The level-up screen says things like "Your princess is in another castle" (misquoting [[Super Mario Bros. (
* One of the higher-tier pieces of headgear you can find is a red, wide-brimmed Vampire Hunter's Hat (identical to the hat worn by the protagonist of [[Hellsing]]), which according to the tooltip "isn't really suited for vampire hunting, but what can you expect out of someone who thinks that spelling 'DRACULA' backwards is a good way to hide their identity?"
* The original title screen, the head at the bottom of the screen, and the graphic design of Floor 3 are all shout outs to [[Doom]]. One of the armours originates from [[Doom]], while equipping a helmet based off [[Quake]] along with it, gives you a "Realms of the id" achievement. One of the audio tracks is also a [[Suspiciously Similar Song]] version of the Level 1 tune from [[Doom]] 2. Continuing the theme is the Interdimensional Axe - it's the [[Quake]] axe!
* The bolstered list of Steam Achivements released July 19 are pretty much ALL shout-outs. See [http://www.dredmorwiki.com/wiki/Achievements the wiki] for details.
* And in the fungi, there's the [[Super Mario Bros.|Plumber's Agaric]] (providing a strength buff), and [[Niccolo Machiavelli|The Prince]] ("A regal mushroom better feared than loved.").
* If you happen to encounter a [[Game Breaking Bug]] that makes the game crash (Most infamously the, fortunately fixed, save-game incompatibility of the latest patches), you get an achievement called "Suddenly the dungeon collapses!", which was a possible event in [[Nethack]].
* "Lutefisk For The Lutefisk God" -- not to be confused with the [[Warhammer]] god Khorne's "Blood for the Blood God." (Although the two ''are'' old poker buddies.)
* In the tech-based floor, the chests look suspiciously like a certain [[Portal (
** Also, one line of enemy chatter is "[[Memetic Mutation|spaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]][[Portal 2
* The Rage skill tree is full of pledges in the general direction of "[[Conan|For Crom!]]"
* Equip a full set of clockwork limbs and weaponry to get the "[[Deus Ex: Human Revolution
* The Assassin description mentions that there's something about a [[Assassin's Creed|creed]].
* The fire arrows are best used against thatch-roof cottages ([[Homestar Runner]]).
Line 40:
* One of the enemies' taunts is from [[Clerks]]: "i wasn't even supposed to be here today".
* Finishing the Werediggle skill tree from the DLC nets you 'Team... Jacob?', another [[Twilight]] reference.
* One of the possible secondary materials for an Artifact is "[[Duck Dodgers in
* The Root of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kXNW-jExZg T'char] from [[Zalgo]] can be found and eaten. Doing so will kill you if you're not prepared.
* One of the creatures' messages appears as "[[The Wicker Man|Killing me won't bring back your honey.]]"
Line 48:
* Emomancy references [[The Cure]] once and [[My Chemical Romance]] at least twice.
** As well as Joy Division (Love Will Teleport Us Apart (skill)/Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Division song)).
* An achievement for eating lutefisk is [[A Prairie Home Companion
* The Archaeology skill tree is loaded with [[Indiana Jones]] references, including a skill called "It Belongs In A Museum". You even start out equipped with a sufficiently [[Nice Hat]].
* Two abilities in the Viking Wizardry tree reference the [[Rhapsody of Fire]] songs Triumph For My Magic Steel and Unholy Warcry.
Line 54:
* The [[Star Wars|Mace of Windu]] is practically a lightsaber in apperance and (most of its) stats, although its considered by the game to be a mace.
* Generic Tentacular Doom effect description: [[Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|Open one of your six mouths and sing the song that ends the Earth.]]
* Sometimes when exiting the game, you will hear [[Sid
* [[Deep Space Nine|Self-sealing stem bolts]] can be found and crafted.
* One desirable clothing item is [[A Fistful of Dollars|The Poncho With No Name]].
* If you try to shoplift, Brax's enforcer demons will tell you to [[South Park|Respect Mah Authoritah]].
* The new expansion pack adds "[[Colossal Cave Adventure|A series of twisty little rooms, all different]]".
* The description for cutoffs (leg armor) says "it's a real medical condition!" referencing ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'''s Tobias Fünke who suffers from nevernudism and always wears a pair.
* The free DLC gives us [[The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion|Horse Armor]], which is completely useless and incredibly expensive.
* One of the enemy phrases is "his name is Robert Paulson", a direct quote from ''[[Fight Club (
