*'''Metal Fatigue'''
 
: A high-energy--despite its name--program produced by the Libra and shown, due to its neutrality, on both Edanith and Aedolis. It's set on a military space base during the last war between Edanith and Aedolis. Lots of action, lots of blowing stuff up and space chases, some comedic character moments but basically a drama.
 
 
*'''Helixman Unwound'''
 
: A superhero show produced on the Libra. Digitally-generated characters done in video-game art style. Kind of cheesy plots, typical overwrought comic-style superheroics. Set on an alternative-history Old Earth.
 
 
*'''Dredge News'''
 
: All the news in Aedolis that's fit to put on an AID-approved (Aedolian Information Dissemination) channel. Which is, surprisingly, a lot: stories about Edanith and Seruna (guess their point of view) included. Aedolian news includes up-to-date reports on the economy, some on-the-streets news prescreened by the Dragons, and several talking heads segments. Interviews, with Pilots and the military, abound.
 
 
*'''Weevil and Friends'''
 
: A goofy childrens' show featuring talking animals, like Klaus the platypus, who go on adventures in an idealized natural landscape. There's definitely a psychedelic component to the show. Aedolian show, broadcast to TRIM, Libra, and Cancer statios.
 
  
 
*'''Saturn Alien Sizzlers'''
 
*'''Saturn Alien Sizzlers'''
: SAS, as it's known, is a popular Aedolian show that began as independent cult hit porno, got picked up by the big DOMETV network for twelve seasons, and has only recently been relegated to the lesser network HCN in the 6 p.m. slot. SAS is a parodyish rom-com mock-docudrama porno space soap opera about a ship full of lesbians traveling the universe to make a documentary about themselves and the alien species they encounter.

Remnants of the Earth is full of pop culture references that are made up by the players and usually puns of things that exist in our world. Here's a list (that is constantly growing--feel free to add to this!) of our pop culture references and what they are.

Technology

  • World of Warlocks
Also known as 'WoW', this is the RotE equivalent of World of Warcraft, a medieval fantasy style MMORPG. It's very popular among geeks, especially in Aedolis. It first surfaced in the Pilot Blog.
  • Devil My Care
A video game popular with geeks. It first was seen in this conversation between candidate Gabriel and Alaric.

Television and Movies
