The Starbound Reference Thread

There is a lore codex about a Glitch named Hewlett Deckard (ref Hewlett-Packard) who says the line "I knew the broad was trouble as soon as I laid eyes on her" (not sure what exactly this references but I've heard that line before)

There is also a codex about a Floran named Sunflower Tzu who describes to other Floran how to fight and hunt. (reference to Sun Tzu's The Art of War)

 

Some Avians have said to my Glitch "You're masterworks all, you can't go wrong!" which is a reference to what a shopkeeper in the city of Gran Soren in the console game Dragon's Dogma says.

I love his material. Such a funny and unique comic. Makes me sad we won't hear more from him.

 

The Kluex Delusion codexes (codices?) are written by Rochard Hawkwings, an Avian atheist. Richard Dawkins, anyone?

 

With a little of Stephen Hawking mixed in, looks like.

 

Ooooh, clever Chucklefish

 

Codices.

Admittedly, a Stephen Hawking/Richard Dawkins combination would be pretty hilarious to see in real life. Definitely would cause heads to explode

 

If you cook Alien Bacon, the description for it is a reference to Epic Meal Time.

& Bacon Strips & Bacon Strips & Bacon Strips & Bacon Strips & Bacon Strips & Bacon Strips & Bacon Strips & Bacon Strips .

 

nah They're definitely Bob-omb references from Mario, Bomberman bombs look like this.

 

One of the helm options for Glitch is Cyberman from Doctor Who.
Glitch Name option has chance to be "Robo Cop"

 

Will their be any homestar runner references like trogdor?

 

Robo Cop? That's amazing

 

Florans maybe inspired by Flora from that old 80s cartoon 'Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors'

Strengths: Because Flora was born of a flower, she has a number of nature-related powers. Flora is very sensitive and friendly towards animals, plants, and people, and will always try to help those in need. She is brave, helpful, innocent, inquisitive, and a good judge of character. She tends to see most new things with a childlike sense of wonder.

Weaknesses: Since Flora is a plant, she is vulnerable to defoliants, pesticides, and anything else that harms vegetation. She is impetuous and stubborn sometimes, going against orders if she feels that she should. Flora has some minor allergies caused by the fact that some plants do not mix well with other plants.

 

In short, the exact opposite of Florans.

Ssstab!

 

Ssstabbing and ssstabbing and ssstabbing and ssstabbing and ssstabbing and ssstabbing and ssstabbing and ssstabbing...

 

Hewlett Deckard is probably a pun on Rick Deckard (of Blade Runner) and Hewlett-Packard. Blade Runner is a noir film, where the stereotype of that phrase originated (I can't remember if the line is actually used in BR or Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?)

 

Probably a long shot but... The outhouses you find might be a reference to the borderlands series. Cus you know... You can find stuff in them and they are a storage item.

Like I said. A long shot.

 

Not necessarily, the first thing I thought of when I clicked an outhouse and got storage was "Borderlands!"

Sadly, there were no guns or weapons inside, but that would be a damn treat, wouldn't it?

 

Well... Fry's hair is in the game.

 

Got my first throwing spears a little while ago. The description reads: "A throwing spear. Get over here!"

 

Another of Glitch Helm options is that of Tinman from Wizard of Oz. I think one of the hairstyles for human female is Hinata's from Naruto too.
