			== Resemblance to KoL's Crackpot Mystic's Shed ==

			I've moved the suggested reference here so it could be discussed:

			* The message you obtain when the Creepy Old Man cannot produce anything from your artifacts is possibly also a reference to the [http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/The_Crackpot_Mystic%27s_Shed Kingdom of Loathing], given that it resembles the message you get when visiting the Crackpot Mystic without a combination of pixels which he can use to "pixel-craft" items.
			* Strangely but expectedly, the Creepy Old House appears to be analogous to the Crackpot Mystic's Shed in the [http://kol.coldfront.net Kingdom of Loathing]. It can also be said that the quest by which you gain access to the House could have been inspired by the 8-bit realm in the same game, given the mechanics involved (and the storyline, but only just).

			The messages resemblance might as well be coincidental. The Mystic says "Alas, I cannot make anything with the Pixels you have thus far collected." compared to "Alas, I can not make anything from what ye possess."

			I don't really see the resemblance in mechanics or storyline. Mechanics wise, this is the same mechanic as the [[Wade-bot Base]], it has nothing to do with the 8-bit realm. Storywise I see no resemblance at all. The only resemblance I do see is that these are guys that live in houses. So what?

			If you want to restore the references please justify it here first. --[[User:Muhandes\|Muhandes]] 08:15, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

			If someone has a level 29 character, please don't level up, because after acquiring the dreamer's clock, the old man refuses to see you until you level up. I forgot to save the text so someone else needs to get it. -PKProStudio
