Line 103:
* In ''[[Knights of the Old Republic (video game)|Knights of the Old Republic II]]'', the ship the [[Player Character|Jedi Exile]] returned to the Republic on (and subsequently gets overrun by Sith assassins) is named the ''Harbinger''.
* In ''[[Borderlands]]'', humans are [[Too Dumb to Live|looking for fame and treasures in a legendary vault on a planet named]] [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|Pandora]]. Never mind that even before hearing this name [[Crapsack World|most people wouldn't want to spend five minutes on it]].
* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind]]'' there is an item found early in the game called Scroll of Icarian Flight. It gives you 1000 extra jump skill, which both allows you to jump very high and absorbs damage from long falls. The problem? This skill boost only lasts 7 seconds. You won't be able to reach the ground before the scroll wears off.
** To give you more of a hint...you get the scroll off the dead body of a mage, when he lands in front of you from out of nowhere.
* ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'' brings us Camp Forlorn Hope--a front-line NCR military outpost on the edge of being overrun by the Legion. About the only way the camp name could be even more conducive to the loss of battles and morale is if it was 'Camp Certain Death.'
Line 180:
* Although the car achieved commercial success, the AMC ''[[Griping About Gremlins|Gremlin]]'' has got to be a [[Tempting Fate]] honorable mention.
* The Hellenic Air Force Academy logo features Icarus.
* The UK has [[wikipedia:Skynet
* The Tampa International Airport's parking garage has elevators named after various heroes of aviation... and [[Amelia Earhart]].
* [[Apollo 13]] (and since then NASA has ''never'' launched a vehicle with "13" in the name -- during the Shuttle program they ''changed the mission numbering system'' after STS-9, and then changed it back after the loss of the ''Challenger'').
