Decoding the SN8X-Verse
DragonLord1975:
For those confused on what these other names for other things are, I have decoded what they all mean. The reason is to compare it to the real-life people, places and things we all know…to save you headaches. Those with question marks I have not decoded yet, but I'm sure Jessica and Adam will help me on this.

Whoa, that's an impressive list, and you got almost all of them right. Great job, dragon dude! I'm not going to spoil all the fun by telling you what the question marks are, but I'll at least tell you which ones you got wrong.
Oh, and one thing to note is that some of our parody titles take inspiration from more than one real-world source.

Dude Shinobi is mostly inspired by the American Ninja franchise, as you've guessed, but he's also inspired by a couple other action stars. Two in particular.

Partially correct. Double Dudes vs. Satan Ninja is a combination of Double Dragon and another arcade game.

This one's wrong. But I can't blame you, as the real-world band that inspired The Eternal Departed is extremely obscure and is one of the only (in fact I think it's the only) parody name that isn't inspired by something from the '80s ...
--- Quote from: DragonLord1975 on August 19, 2016, 01:27:30 PM ---Horrific Holiday = Halloween
--- End quote ---
Partially correct. It's inspired by the general trend for horror films to always be themed after a particular holiday or special date (Halloween, Silent Night Deadly Night, Friday the 13th, April Fool's Day, New Years Evil, My Bloody Valentine, Happy Birthday to Me, etc.)
The rest you got spot on.

Yeah, there might've been more to Eddie's old job than flipping burgers... ugh.
