Myth II Easter Eggs Spotlighted { Lophan }

In an article from April 16th, Inside Mac Games posted a piece entitled "The Best Mac Game Easter Eggs" and, unsurprisingly, Myth made the list. Here's a snippet:
Okay, I'm back. Myth 2 has more than it's share of Easter Eggs and in-jokes. For example, the aforementioned Tuncer Deniz [editor-in-chief of IMG and lead on Myth II] is apparently the owner of Tuncer's Ale House, a structure that is visible early in the game. Later in the game a mispronounced magic spell sounds suspiciously like the phrase "Klaatu barada nikto" from the movie The Day The Earth Stood Still. ('Close enough,' another character comments.)
While this is correct that the quote came from TDTESS, I think they were spoofing a classic scene in Bruce Campbell's film Army of Darkness: a movie from which Bungie has taken a line or two from in their past games (read: Marathon). I do find it odd how the Mobile Home Easter Egg from Myth: TFL didn't make it into their sampling, but I guess you can't have everything...
