Pop Culture References in World of Warcraft

So you think you know everything about World of Warcraft? Think again. Wikipedia has a long list of pop culture references in  World of  Warcraft. We've known for a long time about Mario and Luigi clones, Muigin and Larion, in Un'Goro Crater, but I bet you didn't know about the references to Pulp Fiction, The Silence of the Lambs, and Xanadu. Great way to spend your time while waiting for the world servers to come back up in World of Warcraft.

There's more from where they came from. Read and be amazed.
  • Xanadu — At the Stormwind bank, the aforementioned Olivia Burnside touts the security of the bank by stating, "No one's ever stolen anything out of here. Not in the whole history of... the whole history!" Olivia Newton-John's character Kira makes an almost identical comment to Sonny when he tells her he's going to take her out of Mount Olympus.V show The Six Million Dollar Man.
  • Pulp Fiction — In Ravenholdt, there is a mysterious human with the name Winston Wolfe with the tag "The Wolf." This is a reference to Harvey Keitel's character in Pulp Fiction. Also, Lord Ravenholdt can give rogue players a quest to recover a sealed azure bag "the contents of which are a private matter", a possible reference to the mysterious briefcase of Marcellus Wallace whose glowing content is never revealed to the viewers.
