The Thing reference?

When you light harold on fire to finish the Oasis quest, he makes a sound ver similar to the one the creature makes in the film "The Thing" when it is lit on fire. Is this a reference or just a very odd coincidence?

Coincidence. Give a few teams of creative people the task of creating a sound that a half-plant creature might make as it is being burned to death, and it's no surprise if some of them come up with similar results.--Gothemasticator 02:44, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
As far as I'm aware, there aren't that many sound packages out there, so developers will more often than not be using the exact same package as everyone else when adding sounds to their games. I'm pretty sure I've heard the same baby laugh in over half of baby laughing cases that I've heard. Subject 618 18:11, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

New Vegas

Harold will most likley not be in FNV I'm guessing since 2/4 of his fates resulted in death but he appeared in all canon fallout games but maybe like his seeds planted a new little screwed up tree ghoul that appears in FNV or the Jungle Vault is the place where he grew up and then he's with us in spirit, Thoughts? (Dont mention the 'none of the characters from fallout 3 appear in FNV' because Harold if anything is a Fallout 1 character)

Well, there's no way Harold could be in New Vegas, but a reference to him wouldn't be against the statement of "no Fallout 3 characters in New Vegas" as long as it wasn't an Oasis Druid or Villager that was the reference. --Kris mailbox 04:56, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
