Roosterteeth

True veterans of the machinima field, Roosterteeth are the creative geniuses who created the fularious web-series Red VS Blue (based off the Halo series), as well as Strangerhood (based off the Sims). Unlike many fan-based creations, Roosterteeth haven't shown any signs of slowing down over the years; to this day, they continue to roll out hilarious comedy that gives them their well-deserved reputation for being comedy geniuses. They're also credited for producing the brief P.A.N.I.C.S series ("People Acting Normal in Crazyass Situations"), for the F.E.A.R game; and while PANICS was only brief, it did deliver a good laugh. However, Roosterteeth have forever remained most famous for their work in Red VS Blue, which continues to be widely regarded as one of the funniest things on the Internet.

Church (Red VS Blue): "Tucker, there's a very fine line between not listening and not caring. I like to think I walk that line everyday of my life."

Cobber

Australian colloquialism meaning "mate" or "friend", but not necessarily in the literal term. Can be used to address a stranger in leiu of "Hey, you there!" or "Hey, kid!" in a more friendly manner. As the word's been used since the earliest Colonial settlements of Australia, many Aussies mistakenly believe the word is archaic and no-longer used. In actuality, it's simply slightly less understood then more generic forms of greeting (such as "mate").

"G'day, cobber."
"G'day, mate. How're ye doin'?"
"Aw, been flat out like a lizard drinkin'. Hear the Sydney Swans hammered Collingwood on Saturday?"
"Ripper."

Amerika

1) The slavic way of spelling "America"
2) A song performed by Rammstein in their album "Reise, Reise" (Arise, Arise). While the song appears to be patriotic in the American sense, the deeper message is anything but patriotic; the lyrics clearly parody the sense of American patriotism, but many critics have argued that Rammstein's message in the song was to satirize the widespread adoption of American Culture spread throughout the world (as suggested by the Asian monks eating American fast food in the song's music video). As with many of Rammstein's songs, the message about America isn't entirely clear; but one thing's for certain: It definitely isn't praise for America.

"We're all living in Amerika
Amerika ist wunderbar ('is wonderful')
We're all living in Amerika
Amerika, Amerika"
~ Possibly an emphasis on how the widespread imitation of American culture has influenced countries all around the world, and therefore "we're all living in America". Another subtle yet powerful message that's a defining characteristic of Rammstein's music; there's always a deeper meaning.

Ozzy Osbourne

Widely (and correctly) considered the Godfather of Heavy Metal. ^^' Friendly, easy goin', hella cool and a great guy to know, nobody plays metal better then Ozzy. ;)

Note that popular belief often attributes Ozzy to being a violent, Church-hating wife-beating alcoholist. Nothing could be further from the truth... Ozzy's a friendly guy who loves and supports his family and fans, and one of the few artists of the heavy metal genre who's modest and easy-goin' enough to not take music too seriously ;) (Example, the "wannabe-Anti Christ" Marilyn Manson XP). Black Sabbath rules!

Ozzy's an awesome guy who kicks the asses of all other artists easy. Forget Metallica, Black Sabbath will forever live on! Yeah! ^_~;

Akka Dakka

The Australian way of referring to AC/DC, our country's greatest rock band and the pioneers of hard rock. "Akka Dakka" sounds so fucking Australian, and like many of our culture's lingo, was derived from a longer, more syllable-heavy word to form a shorter, quicker variation that reflects the enthusiastic "Let's get to it" attitude of the Australian people.

Driver: "Hey, turn that bloody shit off an' let's switch on some Akka Dakka, eh cobber?"
Passenger: "Fuckin' oath, mate. Dirty Deeds, done cheap? Bloody hell, I love this one."

Neverwinter Nights

1) Neverwinter Nights; Developed by BioWare in 2002 as an implementation for 3rd edition D&D rules, although the focus of game design was clearly upon graphics technology and multiplayer capability. In short, they left out much of the role-playing potential, particularly storyline and in-depth character development.

2) Game by the same title and same developers, although released many years ago in 1987. Was responsible for supplementing many inspirations of online gaming at the time.

Denis Leary

American comedian renowned for excessive mention of profanity. Possesses a "blackish" humour-style that's often illustrating the stupidity of politics and war (or other major worldly concerns, etc). Was credited for the production of the song "I'm an asshole" early in his career, which gave him the reputation for being "an asshole" later on.

Maybe I shouldn't be singing this song...
Ranting and raving and carrying on...
Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong...


Naaaaaaah!
