Last night, I noticed the Lobinden children singing "Raindrops on noses, and whiskers on chickens" for the first time.
Haha, that's actually pretty awesome
For those who don't know.

It's not the original but this is my favourite version.
There's also the Sex in the City reference in Lobindon. That one is also tongue in cheek funny although a lot more obvious
There's a lot of pop cultural references in TW2 now that I think about it. I like that. Keeps the game from going overboard with being too distant and way too serious. It's good to have something to make you smile in between the killing, raping and pillaging that takes place in the Witcher games. It also offers nice juxtaposition, allowing for the player to feel two contrasting emotions that elevate and enhance the mood whenever one is feeling down or up. If the player never laughed while playing then why should he be sad, there's nothing to offset the balance. If you're just serious all the time, then you can't reflect on the good times, or sad times for that matter, and there's no growth or emotion development with the player. He's just a static brick. Where's the fun in that? Don't you, as an artist, want to have an impact on the player on a deeper level than just offering mindless gameplay for 10 hours?
And what the fuck am I going on about :S It's a cool song ^^
