Alternate WC3 credits?

AD

Finder of things, Doer of stuff
So I was browsing through some of the WC3 IFF files and came across this stuff that I don't remember seeing before (though my memory might be failing me... I seem to recall there being a mode where odd subtitles would show during the credits sequence. I didn't pull up anything in a quick search though). This stuff is fairly similar to the alternate credits in Wing Commander 4 : https://www.wcnews.com/news/2005/06/03/bonuses-hidden-in-wing-commander-4
I've edited the text for legibility and pasted it below. (it was IFF 14 in gameflow.tre when extracted with treman). I especially like their lists of influences near the end. It's a fun glimpse into the development process.

GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS


CHRIS TODD - Seraphim

Scheherazade, the Wing Commander III (Crazy, FRtm) Gameflow System, The Chief Tech

Oh, people's minds are going to be mine.
I am a man who will grasp at all straws.
I love this program. It gives me unparalleled ability both to create and destroy.
Oh, it's too hot. Oh, it's too cold. Oh, there's a big monster eating me. Whiny little Sim-Bastards. I know dorks. I feel qualified to make that assessment.
Yes, I'd like vanilla and butterscotch, and doesn't the sheer tragedy of life depress you sometimes?

GREETS TO: My parents, Ryan, Casey; Kenji, Christa, Mary Beth, Wade, Su, Paul, Ellen, Vincent, Betty, Brad, Grey, Chad, Ed, Jeffrey, Robert (wherever you are), Francis Wrightman, Steve; Tori, Johnette, and John Woo.


FRANK ROAN - Bear
The Superb (CTtm) AI , Turret-Boy , Spaceflight Dude

OHow many times have you seen me put a sharp stick in my eye? Twice, that's it.
It's weird going out to dinner with your ex-girlfriend. It's just like it used to be, but you don't have sex.
Hey, he's a nice guy. Wow, yeah. Let's put his intestines on hot coals.
It's like lipstick, then pepper. This is the worst softdrink I've ever had.
I'm with the project; I'm just not with the craziness.

GREETS TO: Christine. Mom and Dad. Gordy and Colleen. The Luks, Todd H., Vance N. and everyone else at Dynamix. Micheal L., and friends at Sierra On-Line. Dema Z. and friends at Silicon Space.

Do a check on that; I'm sure she's been naked in something.
It's going to be great when full-length capes come back in style.
Piss on trading! Blow things up!
It's like Russian rockers -- they just don't get it.
This is great! I could order executions to this!
Don't sit there thinking! Make the little things go now!
Frank, can we go to lunch before I say something else?
-and-
So lemme get this straight. Tony's sitting at his desk reading the newspaper, Frank's spinning a ruler on his finger, and Chris is smoothing the Chief Tech?


JASON YENAWINE - Equality
Movie Compressor Guy , DPMI Guy , Neato Credits Guy

I'm sorry, but hair length is not an accurate measurement of grammatical acumen.

"This is like a nice day in Mordor". Gonna have to remember that one. I have no idea what the hell I'd ever use that line for, nor do I understand exactly what the crap it's supposed to mean, but it's pretty damn funny nonetheless...
 
The rest of the paragraph containing the "nice day in Mordor" phrase makes it sound like something that seems too good to be true, to the point that one should be suspicious of a trap.

Maybe in Arena Commander when our CIC Squadron is not doing so well on the front? :p
 
That's a possibility. I'm still trying to gather the funds to upgrade to a box capable of thinking about running the hangar module my own self...
