When an imp has to do a series of tasks over and over, or is spent mining a gem block for over ten minutes:
"Work work.." warcraft referance.

BTW, "All your base are belong to us" is not actually a lolcat of any sort. It's some kind of "MUSTKNOW" for any programmer. :P
Anyway easter eggs should be kinda rare or they'll stop doing their work, so having some light hearted humor could also fit in the game imo![]()

I liked the disco inferno thing. Gave my dungeon some character... and me a laugh. I agree it gets repetatiive sometimes but its one of the things I enjoyed
about the game. Mabye play a different song?

The problem is not in disco inferno, I see that 90% fail to see that. The problem is in the implementation. The egg as it is is great. On the other hand, having it every 5 minutes in the casino is truly annoying.
Does that mean that the idea suck? No it means that the implementation should be revamped.
hhhmm, how about
"Your minions wanted a takeaway, so they went and got a chinese... the shopkeeper, that is."
that could probably be taken offensively though...
"many imps were harmed or killed in the making of this game... but you can just summon more"
anything against self referencing or the 4th wall or whatever its called?
cant really think of any dark ones, for some lighter ones...
"have you fallen asleep at the keyboard keeper?"
plays after 2 mins of no input after midnight?
"have you not got a mistress you could be spending time with keeper?"
after playing for a certain amount of hours during the day?
"Diablo sends his regards"
a random every 40 mins one?
i know its a meme but...
"your trolls are busy posting on forums keeper, i know its evil but you should probably do something about it"
plays when a trap or door has remained unbuilt for 1 minuite
thats all i can think of at the moment, i might be able to think up some more while at college tommorow though...
Forum topics are like skirts, they need to be long enough to cover the topic but short enough to keep things intresting
