Ok not entirely true but in the beta for blizzard's World of
warcraft there are a number of non player characters that have their
names taken from somewhere else. Outside of the undead starting area
there is a group of undead with the following names. Daniel Ulfman,
Stephon Bartok, Samual Phipps, and Karrel Grayves.
I have not confirmed it but I am sure credit can be given to a
buddy of mine who is a VP at Blizzard. In High School it was the one
band that all my freinds bought all the tapes and records and made
sure we attenended every show we could.
I hope the names stay in after the game is released, I think it
would be really cool having a long lasting tribute to the group with
in a videogame.
World of warcraft is a Maasively Multiplayer Online Role Playing
Game that is being developed by Blizzard and should be released to
the general public late this year or early next (who am a kidding,
Blizzard will wait until the game is as solid as possible before it
sees store shelves).
