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

Games

• 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. Players are organized into two separate factions, Allegiance (the good guys) or Host (the bad), and players may also create their own guilds within it. It first surfaced in the Pilot Blog.

• Devil May Care

An action-adventure, hack and slash video game popular with geeks where the protagonist is a demon-hunter. It first was seen in this conversation between candidate Gabriel and Alaric.

• Tactical Warfare I, II, III

Modern Warfare equivalent.

• Kingdoms of War

A high fantasy game that is basically the different Aedolian squadron teams as kingdoms. Many Pilots (especially those in squadrons) make 'appearances' in the game, either fully modeled and playable in some modes, or just NPCs that are obviously supposed to be particular Pilots. Supposedly there is a easter egg side quest and cut scene in story mode that is a wedding between two in game characters based on Pilot Cardinal Bertrando Emem and Pilot Echo Vasili Hestersen. You can apparently gain exclusive items by completing this quest.
