Add to ME3 wishlist:

Especially if the conversation is about either Reapers or Collectors. 

I don't remember if it was mentioned in the past 19 pages or not, but Delan on Horizon shares a name with the boutique owner on th Presidium in ME1. Popular name, intentional reference, or completely unintentional species oversight a la Elanos Haliat? Delan in ME1 for those who don't remember is a Hanar shopkeeper located next to the office of Barla Vonn in the Business District

What Fox news thing? The smearing thing seemed pretty generalized and could be used for most news organizations I think unless there was a specific event. Easily could be I don't pay much attention to American News.

basically Fox News (among other conservative news outlets) was doing what they do best. i think a wiki link will explain it better:
masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Romance#Mass_Effect_Media_Controversy

but since, like i said, they did alude to it in the first ME1 DLC, it was probably just a throwback to the first interview she does with you/general news bias. still, i couldn't help but think of Fox News when you accuse the reporter of doing another smear job.

You just reminded me of what the music that plays when the collectors show up reminded me of! The music that plays when the reavers show up in Firefly/Serenity.

THIS.  I noticed it the first time I played.  I was like "OMG IT'S REAVERS EVERYBODY ABANDON SHIP!"

Legion's loyality mission: sometimes when you hack a turret Legion says: "executing sudo command".

"sudo" is an "override" command at Unix like systems

Could be 'psuedo'.

I think my favorite is overhearing a convo at the game merchants, with a fan complaining about "how the new rpgs with their big decisions and furious combat are inferior to old school games where you needed to drink water to stay alive and had tons of inventory management to deal with." I felt as if Bioware was trying to say something.

It was "I wish they made role-playing games the way they used to.  These days are all about 'big choices' and 'visceral combat' (reference to Bioware games, lolol). I miss those old games where you had to remember to drink water, and it took five hours real time to fly somewhere (possible WoW reference?)".

That is an EQ reference. In the pre-Plane of Knowlege era it could take hours to get from location to location to meet up with friends or do a corpse run. WoW simplified that alot. Many of the hardcorp EQ players looked down on WoW for that. And Yes in the origianl EQ you had to stay stocked up on water and food or die.

Not just EQ. Before your fancy 3D graphics we had games like the Ultima-series or Nethack where a great deal of the game's difficulty came from perfectly mundane issues, such as carrying enough food to get from one town to another.

i not sure if this has been said before beccause i didnt read everything but if you stand near joker long enouth he starts laying random things



EX: [sex sounds] joker: oops that was ment to go through my headset

[SymbolicGamer]

Most of these aren't easter eggs, because they aren't at all hidden. They're just jokes.

[Darkened Dragon]

Not sure if it was mentioned before ... but after a while Grunt will sound like Wrex after you say goodbye in the convo's





Grunt: Shepard.

After 20 pages didn't want to go through the whole, so I'll just my so fars:

True in a sense.
Easter Eggs don't have to be hidden, rather they are easy to miss if you aren't looking for them.

The thing about drinking water is a shot at the Fallout series. Flying for hours is probably WoW.

No it's not, as you don't have to drink water in Fallout. At least not in either the second or third.

You did have to drink water in Al Qadim though if I remember correctly.  It was a bit of a pain.

Conrad Verner says "Sometimes I look through crates to find credits." referring to looting back in ME1.

Ya, Conrad Verner was a LITTERAL look at what Shepard was really doing.  Talking to random people, etc.

I loved that part too, one of the many rousing "LOL" moments i had through the entire game!

One minor character i thought was funny was that volus who plays the stock market on Illium.  Greedy little bastard!

I thought of that too, slight oversight on the writters part i geuss.

Maybe not an Easter Egg, but a nice little detail I noticed the other day: on Ilium, by the transit terminal you use to call the cab for Samara's recruitment, there's the asari you overhear cheating Thax. The signs next to her are for Ilium's transport shuttles, with departure times and locations listed. You can go to Thessia, Palaven, the Citadel, Mindoir, Elysium, and Shanxi, but there's a note at the bottom about how public travel to human colonies is discontinued because of the recent attacks.



There's also a warning sign somewhere on the Citadel that the station is using centripetal pseudogravity and dropped objects will fall to the windows.

One of the things he says is "You know what's great? Alliance Corsair. The combat's realistic, and you can install it on an omni-tool." This is a reference to Mass Effect Galaxy, which was about an Alliance Corsair (Jacob), was very combat heavy, and is played on IPhone.

Too bad we can't really install mini-games on our in-game omni-tool for those long shuttle rides to nowhere.

The symbol above Rodam Expeditions on the Citadel is the same as the symbol for the parking garage on Noveria.

I loved Grunt's saying parts form 300 movien on Haestrom.



At the very beginning when one of your team will say something about issues with shields Grunt says "So we'll fight from the shade"



Later when Geth make a drop form the dropship Grunt says somthing like "Synthetic cowards", using same tone as one of Spartans saying "Persian cowards"
