Vad: Blizzard uses a shit load of Dune references in the entire Warcraft series as well. In WoW, there's a group of NPCs with names like "Dib'maud" or something like that, things of that nature. And in WC3, if you have the Nerubian spider things, they'll say "The sleeper has awakened" when clicking them.

YES! Haha, The Warcraft 3 one I know. But the WoW one I either never saw enough to get it.
Awesome. Purely Awesome. Does my heart good to know Blizzard ripped off the master of the universe. Frank Herbert. >=D Fuck Blizzard.

Pfft, I enjoy the references to things (They also have numerous Monty Python references in WC3 "You're the king? Well I didn't vote for you!") because its that much more awesome when you get it.
Thus why Becca owns for making spice fields in Mercy completely unintentionally.

I never really paid much attention to Mercy before, but now I want to go there. I guess because I just regarded it as 'empty desert planet' and totally forgot the ambience and mood that's captured in things like Dune and Star Wars.
I'll make a pseudo-arabian setting and get Rose a pair of parachute pants to match. At one point I was tempted to use F-Zero's Princia Ramode for her appearance for that reason. Unfortunately, apart from that, she looks like a total fag >_>
