Line 27:
** The ship that Morinth left Illium on is the ''Demeter''. In Greek mythology, Demeter was an extremely powerful goddess who lost her daughter to the underworld and walked the earth endlessly searching for her. Sounds a bit like a certain justicar...which makes this a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|literal]] [[Mythology Gag]]. For bonus points, the Demeter was also the name of the ship the Count travelled on in Dracula.
** Does the name of Jacob's father's ship (the ''Hugo Gernsbeck'') sound familiar to you? If you're a sci-fi buff, it should. Hugo Gernsbeck is generally considered the father of modern science fiction and founder of the ''[[Amazing Stories (magazine)|Amazing Stories]]'' magazine. It's who the [[Hugo Award]] is named after. Although considering that the ship named after him is populated in the game by a bunch of self-centered jackasses who routinely perform [[Mind Rape]] on their crew, it's not the ''best'' tribute they could have given the father of modern science fiction...
* [[Goddamn Bats]]: Husks, on any difficulty. They don't use guns, they just run up to you and start whacking you. Mowing them down before they can get to you can be hard because they move ridiculously fast. They also tend to swarm you while you're focused on trying to shoot down something else. They have a few [[Weaksauce Weakness]]es (biotics, [[Kill It with Fire|being set on fire]], [[Kill It with Ice|being frozen]], being shot in the legs), but these tend to not be particularly useful if you're facing [[Zerg Rush|ten at once]]. Excepting Soldiers with a Revenant machinegun and Adrenaline Rush.
** Or a single Adept or Vanguard (or Jack, which is really the same thing) with a well-leveled Shockwave. At that point, the difficulty shifts from "shoot them before they rip you to shreds" to "get them to line up for maximum awesome points."
* [[Good Bad Bug]]:
** Hitting melee halfway between the Claymore's reload animation causes it to auto-complete, and you can fire instantly with it. The Claymore is the single-shot uber-tier shotgun, and basically turns into a semi-automatic.
