10 Touching Tributes Hidden In Video Games
10. Robin Williams - World Of Warcraft
Though most people remember Robin Williams as a great actor and stand-up comedian, the man was also well-known for his love of video games. He named his own daughter Zelda after the famous Hyrulean princess and was a frequent player on the Mannoroth server in World of Warcraft.
Apparently, his favorite activity was trolling people in the trade chat, which is how you can tell the man was a true fan of the game.
It's no surprise, then, that when news of his tragic suicide broke in 2014, the Mannoroth players were especially heartbroken. To pay tribute to his legacy, they organized events where they would gather around burial sites in the game and mourn his death. Additionally, Blizzard announced that they were going to create a special memorial in Robin Williams' name.
The memorial is a small island in the South Sea area, where the players can find a dusty bottle. Rubbing the bottle will reveal a powerful genie named Robin, who will say his iconic line from Aladdin: "INFINITE COSMIC POWER! Itty bitty living space..."
The genie even has his own lounging space next to the bottle, so he can relax on his own private island forever.
