Gotten you and me trapped, that's what. Somehow in the middle of my tropes tabs I've got 7 Gatherer tabs.
I'd advise you run, but I know it's already too late.  My only advice is that you remember to take bathroom breaks.  Try to drink some water now and then.  Don't feel guilty about eating whatever food you can, as any calories will help.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oric
Apparently Oric used to be a computer company/computer. I also find some ironic "coincidences" surrounding this, including the fact that Oric uses computers in part of running the Warrens.
The second "coincidence" is that Sinclair fellow, who created radios, and computers; which I link to the Voice, who is in charge of communications, and decrypted to Warren's 'SourceCode'. And that Wiki article links's Oric's success to Sinclair's computers.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was, and freeform randomly felt like searching for the name on the internet, then incorporating that into the game.

That doesn't stop FFS from creating parallels to actual real-life events/people

I'm pretty sure I remember him saying that the name "The Warrens of Oric the Awesome" was randomly generated.

It was, using donjon's generator. Now that it has been pointed out, though, there is nothing stopping freeform from making it retroactively a reference.

It's entirely possible he randomly generated the name, and then once the game got semi-popular, he decided to do some google-fu, found Oric the company, and made it a thing in-universe.

Cool, I got sigged.

So totally worth finding all that information, to put a somewhat irrelevant answer to the question.
The information is good though, and could be used for something else; like explaining how Al changed his wardrobe.(He may have leveled up his class/Soul)

TOO BAD YA SPOILED IT!
