No Celebrities Were Harmed: Difference between revisions

No edit summary
Line 374:
* Flynn, the protagonist of forgettable first-person-shooter ''Devastation'', looks much like [[Eminem]].
* Apart from the "Bruce Lee as Marshall Law" example above, ''[[Tekken]]'' series have more not-celebrities: Raven is based on Wesley Snipes (in a weird mash-up of his ''[[Demolition Man]]'' and ''[[Blade]]'' movie personas), Craig Marduk is the actor/wrestler Nathan Jones and Lei Wulong is [[Jackie Chan]], to name just a few.
* ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' :
** Patch 3.3 of ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' introduced [[James Brown|Bronjahm, the Godfather of Souls]]. To further cement the reference, his loot includes such items as [http://www.wowhead.com/?item=50316 Papa's Brand New Bag], [http://www.wowhead.com/?item=50196 Love's Prisoner], and [http://www.wowhead.com/?item=49788 Cold Sweat Grips].
** [[WoW]] has more than a few as [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]], however most notable is Archaeologist [[Harrison Ford|Harrison]] [[Indiana Jones|Jones]]. He started out as a [[Joke Character]] who was [[Boom! Headshot!|chump killed]] at the gates of Zul'Aman. However he somehow didn't die and turned up fighting snakes in a tomb in the Grizzly Hills zone. In the new ''Cataclysm'' expansion he has a prominent role as a quest giver in the Uldum zone, complete with multiple [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] and [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] to go round in respect to all four Indy films.
** In addition to those, we also have [[Paris Hilton|Haris Pilton]] (pictured), Ricole Nichie, and even ''[[Chuck Norris]]'' (pending as of November 2011 though).
Line 397 ⟶ 398:
* ''[[Watch Dogs]] 2'''s main antagonist is a politician running for congress with transparently [[Donald Trump]] based slogans and apparently working with or for the local [[MegaCorp]] to rig the election... of a real, uncontested, congressional district where non-Democrat candidates '''combined''' get 9% of the vote.
* In ''[[Devil May Cry]]'', demonic newsman Bob Barbas and the Raptor News Network are intended as caricatures of [[Bill O Reilly]] and [[Fox News]], respectively. Bob even uses O'Reilly's notorious [[Catch Phrase]] during the [[Boss Battle]], ''"we'll do it live!".''
* ''[[Bayonetta]]''; the anti-heroine's informant, underworld contact, and occassial pack mule is [[Joe Pesci]] in all but name.
