    Read a poll somewhere that claimed half of the people who use that 'meme' don't even know it's origin.
    100% awesome.

    Meh, at least they got the text right.
    Kher Shan is still a better reference though

    Oh, god, no.

    Is this expansion going to be filled with 'merely a setback', too?

    Warcraft games have always had references. Hopefully we can do without zone-spanning parodies like we ended up with in Uldum, and so far that appears to be the case.
    Remember the lessons of the past, but do not become lost in nostalgia. Seize the moment whenever possible, but not when it could do you great harm down the road. And look to the future as far as you can, but do not become complacent waiting for a brighter future to come to you. For the past, present, and future all have their place in the human psyche, and to see one as superior to the others is the most grievous error a person can make in life.

    Subtle/obscure references are one thing, this is just dumb. Not really surprised tho.

    That's just like... your opinion man.

    And what I can tell from a lot of responses in this thread.

    MoP makes an arrow in the knee joke. "OMG this isn't funny! Blizz Suxx!"
    GW2 makes an arrow in the knee joke. "Hahahaha so funny!"

    no we have expansion spanning parody of Kung Fu Panda!
    /equips Shield of hatred and ducks for cover

    Seriously though, Uldum was ok for a while but definitely took the whole Indiana Jones theme way too far,
    as for the little "nods" to other games, films etc I love them.

    They have been putting them in since the start, no need to stop now
    Every year, on average, 40 Europeans die in terrorist attacks. When you compare the policies and billions plown down into this number, you quickly discover that we should not be spending billions to fight terrorism, but to fight bathtubs. Over five times as many people drown in bathtubs every year.

    this meme popped up in the GW:2 beta and everyone loved it. it pops up in MoP and half the people love it, half the people hate it with a passion usually reserved for serial killers and paedophiles.

    which pretty much sums up community attitudes!

    Said the words "used to" in trade or on a forum? Someone would turn what you said into it.
    Said the word "arrow" in trade or on a forum? Same treatment.
    Exactly. It's quite funny here. But I guess some people can't stand anymore of it, since they've heard it a million times a day.
    It's those people that make funny things not funny anymore.

    Obvious flamebait is obvious.

    I like the little pop ref's here and there, as long as they're done well.

    I actually chuckled at this; the only time the arrow in the knee meme grated on me is when it became a response to god damn everything.
    'I used to be a forum poster like you, etc.'
    'I used to be a beta tester like you, etc.'
    'I used to be a truck driver like you, etc.'
    'I used to be etc etc etc etceTCETCETECESHUTUPALREADY'

    Noooooooooooooooo
    Fools! Simpletons! Look at you milling about, oblivious to the coming of the end!
    Allow me to ask a simple question: Is a man allowed - entitled even - the sweat of his brow?
    "No," says the orc in Orgrimmar, "it belongs to the Horde!"
    "No," says the human in Stormwind, "it belongs to Alliance!"
    I knew a man once that rejected those answers! A man that chose the impossible!
    That man was Genn Greymane and that impossible choice was Gilneas!
    Oh Gilneas, I miss you so!
