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.

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?

You get enough stupid in one place it becomes funny.
I don't like chunks in my liquids.
So now we're underpaid and we're using crappy mail.
1 times 2 to the thirteenth. What weird units. Well, I'm going to play with it. What if I make it...zero.
Of course not. Why would I be cool?

/Those wacky assassins. I always fall for that!
Look! Nap of the earth! Oh. Stuff on a rock.
There aren't enough orgasms in the workplace.
Very very cool. I think I need a mechanical pencil.
I'm sorry, but hair length is not an accurate measurement of grammatical acumen.
I'm efficient before I'm anal. I'll let things anally slide if I can do it efficiently.
My heartfelt thanks to all of you who've stood behind me through the long hours and ridiculous work schedules. Your patience and understanding is appreciated more than I can express...
