One Shots: Music lovers are everywhere

MMO gamers tend to be split on pop-culture references. Some people really enjoy finding little nods here and there to things they enjoy. Others seriously dislike it due to the fact that it can break immersion. Today's contributor Jordan T. is definitely the former of the two, as he was amused to find this particular nod while playing Final Fantasy XIV recently. We'll let him explain just what's going on in the image: "As I was checking out one of the towns in Final Fantasy XIV, I ran into a small town called Aleport. I saw the name Immodest Mouse, and smirked; but after reading what he said I just had to chuckle. Someone at Square-Enix HAS to be a Modest Mouse fan. The first words he gives you in the dialogue are 'The ocean breathes salty' which happened to be one of Modest Mouse's biggest hits. The whole line of text he says is 'The ocean breathes salty, and it be her briny whispers what give our salt ale its temper.' "
