Line 56:
* ''[[Decades of Darkness]]'' has [[Shout-Out|shout outs]] to, among other things: a group of popular rock bands, ''[[Star Wars]]'', ''[[Call of Cthulhu (tabletop game)]]'', and so on and so on.
* ''[[Tiberium Wars]]'' has more shout-outs than you can shake a stick at. Shout-outs range from ''[[Snow Crash]]'' to ''[[Mass Effect]]'' to ''[[Metal Gear]]'' to ''[[Generation Kill]]'', with a hefty frequency of references to ''[[Firefly]]'' and ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]''.
** By the same author, ''[[Forward]]'' has as many shout-outs, ranging from references to ''[[Mass Effect]]'', ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'', ''[[BioShock (series)]]'' and even ''[[Team Fortress 2]]''. There's also multiple [[Actor Allusion
* ''[[Maddison Atkins]]'' features an episode called "[[Law and Order|Law & Order]]: Maddison Atkins". Adam can be seen playing ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' in one episode, and Maddison wears a Princess Peach shirt in another. With the [[Elvis Impersonator|possible]] exception of [[Series Mascot|HTMLvis]], all the pigeons' names (chosen by fans) appear to be shout outs: [[History of the USSR|Trotsky]], [[Sailor Moon|Mini Moon]] and Lady Gaga.
* ''[[Stray]]'' is full of these. The story's [[Arc Words]] are an obvious nod to ''[[Planescape: Torment]]'', Snake has a dog named [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Kaworu]] (Otacon chose the name), and there are more subtle references to ''[[Watchmen (comics)|Watchmen]]'' and Kafka.
Line 89:
* [[Fenspace]]: Imagine, if you can, an ''entire civilization'' made up of shout-outs.
