I haven't actually found the VD box yet, but yes, we have discussed the easter eggs. The general consensus is they're hints at DLC release dates.


yea I knew that, just never saw anybody post anything about the valentines chocolates. Makes me wonder what the heart cake is though...

It's strawberries, not hearts.
Also did them some time ago...

I know you've discussed this before but my memory has seemed to leave me, what's the relevance of I-Nova?

I think it's just a vanguard joke. Posted Image

Easter eggs in Vancouver you say?  I wonder if any of those holidays will fall on Tuesdays... ;)

Also, I'm back, at least for a bit.  Fighting a stomach virus for a WEEK is NASTY business.  And the worst part?  It's not completely gone yet.  It should be out of here this week, but it still SUCKS.

If we assume the birthday cake is a nod to Mass Effect 1's anniversary as Arian suggested, that does indeed fall on a Tuesday. Stomach bugs are the worst. Feel better.

Thanks mate.  This is the seventh day that I've had it, and I've improved SIGNIFICANTLY, but I'm still not over the hump just yet.  Also, the cake is interesting.  It would be appropriate if BioWare decided that this should end where it began. :)

So yeah, I was just thinking about something regarding the choices in the ending. Sadly no new information that confirms or denies IT, but I thought it was interesting to think about.

Personally, I don't think any of the ending choices are good as they are, and they all seem to be centered around Shepard's ego. To be fair I'm sure nrealy all the choices involve the ego, but the way I looked at it in the context of the ME3 endings was that choosing control for example is Shepard believeing she can control the Reapers. If Shepard didn't believe they could control the Reapers or had any reasonable doubt that she could then there is no way she would choose that option.

For Synthesis it is like a messiah complex; Shepard choosing synthesis believes she knows best how to save the galaxy and what path it should take in its evolution. To me Synthesis seems waay too much like eugenics so imo it takes a massive ego to choose this option.

For Destroy, it seems a bit more complex to me as it could be about vengeance or it could be about choosing the one path that will definitely eliminate the Reapers as a threat. The choice made by the ego is split and therefore is likely weakest imo, but it has been quite a few years since I studied psychology so I'm probably wrong. Refuse is simple defiance; rejecting the situation and creating your own path, even if that path leads to ruin. But maybe it will change in future DLC.

again I'm no expert in psychology so I probably got terminology wrong among other things, but this was just something I thought about. This post will likely get buried under the other, more interesting and informative ones like my posts usually do, so likely it won't be a big issue lol.

So I spent 30 minutes deciphering this sign:

*snip*

And I came up with this

Although section T78 talks about effects not otherwise specified, I assume that means Reaper Indoctrination. For example, I'm sure our Earth medical books don't have written manuals about indoctrination. Since the Reapers are just a myth to most except for Shepard and a few others, they probably won't have manuals about it.

T75 refers to vertigo from infrasound.

Huh. Cool. There are seriously too many "coincidences" for BW to not pay attention to anything. Also, I had a theory that the facility in Rio may be developing a mass relay, or some super weapon. There are code 990's on the map. Radiation exposure. Hackett also mentions that there are 990 cuts left to go to defeat the reapers. This may be grasping at straws emergency induction ports, but if we still have 990 left to go, then you could interpret that as: We still have Rio left to go in SP. Posted Image

This.  And I have no reason to believe that BioWare didn't put these things in intentionally, simply because the symbology seems too fitting to be a coincidence.

Actually, I think he DID say 990.  I remember thinking it was weird at the time that he talked about the death of a 1000 cuts, said that we delivered the 1st, and then said that there were 990 left to go.  Last time I checked, 990 + 1 =/= 1000. ;)

We have started to give them a death by a thousand cuts. Take heart in this, celebrate, and relax tonight. Tomorrow morning, we will get down to business, because there’s nine hundred and ninety left to go.

It could be a typo. 9 is right beside of 0 on the keyboard.

He never said 1st so I still can't see any confusion.
10 of 1000 seems still to be at the start imo.
