Hmm...seemed similar enough to set off my slow brain. I heard there was a new minigame at Zal Labs, went up there...and saw Metris. Thought: "Metris? Kaimetsu must have made it, and Stefan decided to name it after him. How sweet. Or maybe he named it after himself." lol
What WAS the original working name for Metris? Just plain good ol' trademarked Tetris, or something a tad more interesting?
Anyway, Metris is disguised enough a reference I guess, it's nowhere near as bad as "Cane of Brugara," which actually was made by Bruges (a narcissist?). In retrospect, the Bruges bird almost refers more to the character presented to newbs by Tyhm and the other classic dudes as Bruges rather than the Big B himself. However, the point still somewhat stands...if the Bruges Bird, why not the
*prepare for joke k?*
Zero 33 Zalactic Zapper that looks like it's made out of blue and green wall tiles? If it looked like the Moon Tower turned sideways it'd have as much to do with Zero 33 as the Bruges Bird does with Bruges. Or...
The Jeff Joltbomb, looks vaguely like head 788?
The Bomber 39 Megabomb?
The Tyhmclock to record the number of seconds each LAT spends on tag duty in a week?
*end joke k?*
Ya see, any of those would be just like the bruges bird, except the last one, which given the lack of uberleet scripters on classic, would probably be more like the Cane of Brugara or Loriel's RC, videlicet, Tyhm himself would probably end up making it
Anyway, enough rant for now.
