EROS: A Kinky Voyage Begins - Explaining the little refs.
10 years ago
For those watching and who enjoyed the first story in my erotic space adventure series, (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18004138/) you might be wondering just what those references were I mentioned were in there. Some of them were a little old or obscure, so thought I'd run through them so you know the story behind them. Can rarely resist throwing a pop-culture ref or two into my stories when I can!
EROS - In addition to being a carefully-chosen acronym, Eros is also the name of the Greek god of love. Sadly overshadowed by his Roman equivalent, Cupid. So yeah, definitely seemed fitting for a series name!
Page 1 - Space Channel 5 - This is the name of an old Sega Dreamcast dance/rhythm game, that I thiiiiink got a re-release or sequel on the PS2.
Page 1 - Krista and Captain Emmanuelle - These two are linked references. The emanuelle I refer to here was a softcore porn series of the mid-to-late 90's and featured the still rather delicious Krista Allen.
Page 2 - Astro Chicken - Though there's a astrophysics meaning to this term, this one refers to a mini-game you could play in the old Sierra point n click series, Space Quest.
Page 3 - Ceti Alpha V - The name of the planet that the villainously charismatic Khan (or Khaaaaaaaaaan xD) was stranded on in Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan.
Page 4 - Monolith Burger - - Another Space Quest reference here, itself a ref within that game, and a intergalactic burger chain that served awful burgers in the SQ universe and was a little jibe at McDonalds.
Page 5 - Personal Expedition Assistant / PEA and its other rude acronyms - No pop-culture ref here, just a slightly puerile play on words with PEE being another way of referring to it, and Personal ExpeditioN assIStant (PENIS) being the other non-regulation acronym. And yes, it is vaguely phallic shaped.
Page 7 - Engineer Wilco - Yet another SQ reference, named so for the main 'hero' of that game, Roger Wilco.
So yeah, that's all the little refs in that first story. xD

And of course, Roger Wilco was a shout-out to the early days of radio communications when you had to confirm that you'd gotten the message, and indicate when you were done talking so the other person could use the carrier wave. Codespeak for 'Understand, will comply.'
