Mass effect 2 "Back to the future" easter egg

[Fourmalletz]

eh. Woulda been funnier if it was jigawatts.

[etpiersel]

1.21 petawatts! What was I thinking!

[randomthought94]

meh

[SergeantSyphilis]

What the hell is a petawatt?

[d4ark]

@SergeantSyphilis 1000 Terrawatts. 

[THERANDOMISER100]

@Curseco then why are you here watching a game you hate... Doesn't make sense to me.

[TheKingFini]

If i have to pick geth or qurian in mass effect 3 im picking geth

[Stryker246]

GREAT SCOTT :O !!

[westenev]

1.21 JIGGAWATTS.

[BlooddragonME3]

Everybody knows its pettawatts buy the guy is just refering to 1.21 giggawats so don't make a bug deal geez

[XanderI8]

To fix the hole on garrus or legions armour you can buy the extra clothing dlc which gives you cool new outfits and fixes there armour, hope this helps!

[SulliMike241]

1.21 PETAWATTS!!! Great Scott!

[ironsparten558]

Oh god... they found me. i don't know how, but they found me...

RUN IT'S THE REAPERS!!!!

[DarkHeart317]

it said PETAWATTS

[Curseco]

Hate this game. Hate it Hate it HATE IT!

[Kingkiba777]

@Curseco then you  have bad taste

[ChupiTheTerrible]

@Curseco Soooo, why go to its videos and comment? Sounds like a waste of time.

[9chaos1forever1]

@Curseco Really dude?!?! Just...just go shoot yourself. For real. Once your family reads your comment. They will not mourn.

[facebunch]

@Curseco then go play COD and stop trying to be a trolling attention whore your comment was pointless.

[Runeforged]

@Curseco dumbass.

[Yunkonho]

ok.....this is heavy

[gearsofdawn]

HE SAID PETAWATTS!! not gigawatts there's even subtitles and you still got gigawatts

[CheaterGuy1998]

1.21 GIGAWATTS! GREAT SCOTT!!!

[lupuslunari]

Better watch out for that EM Flux.... capacitor :D

[GreenInvaders]

you'd think miranda would close her shirt (or jack acctually putting one on) if she was getting onto a ship with no air, if i remember from science class, if you are unprotected in a no oxygen enviornment, you die

[lupuslunari]

@GreenInvaders Not necessarily. If you can breathe it doesn't matter if you have clothes on or not. However if they were in a vacuum it'd be another story. Then they'd have intense cold, radiation, and lack of pressure to deal with.

[lupuslunari]

@lupuslunari that's why they all have those masks on when the go onto ships like this one.

[klaridon]

I didn't see the referance..

[ArbyArthur]

@klaridon 1.21 gigawatts

[klaridon]

@ArbyArthur Oh right.

[bubbly12ish]

Why can't I fix the hole in legion or garrus' armor

[iiVuuZe]

@bubbly12ish Thats just what they look like in ME2, it never gets fixed.

[steve37533]

@bubbly12ish if you get the DLC alternate Armour for garrus, the hole is not there.

[Mister247Man]

Legion:Alert:EM flux will be hazardous to unshielded organic forms. Adendum: The interior of this station is not shielded.

Jacob... uhh what?

Legion:'Selecting appropriate diolog'... IT'S GONNA FRY YO BRAIN FOOL!

Jacob:AWW hell no!

[riffnark]

@Mister247Man haha

[RudalPL]

@Mister247Man In my playthrough Jacob would respond

- ... uhh what?

[nerdmaster84]

GREAT SCOTT!!



[disturbed2994]

What the hell is a petawatt?!

[SgtScratchandSniff]

@disturbed2994 A Petawatt is several orders of magnitude greater than a Terawatt, which is several orders of magnitude greater than a Gigawatt, which is great than a Megawatt, Kilowatt, etc. Specifically, one Petawatt is 1*10^15 watts or 1000 trillion (quadrillion) watts.

[trlababalan3000]

@SgtScratchandSniff Correction: That is ONE order of magnitude. each time you mention "several". One order of magnitude higher equals a thousand-fold greater magnitude.

[thutama]

@trlababalan3000 an order of magnitude in base ten, is simply 10x greater until the addition of another 0. We are using base ten, one thousand-fold is three magnitudes higher. To find the order of magnitude, take any number an take the log of it. e.g. log(1000000) is 6.

[trlababalan3000]

@thutama Our schools have taught us differently. Maybe 'cuz we're in different countries. Doesn't matter, anyway. P>T>G>M>K, all x1000

[superqman2009]

1.21 PETAWATTS! 1.21 PETAWATTS!

[ammon1992]

what easter egg?

[Bobubobme]

Legion better be a squad mate in me3

[Hartman2271]

PEDO-WATTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh gawd!!!!!!!!

[ShepardCommander1337]

Legion often reminds me of the HK assassin droids in KOTOR 1&2 when he explains what hes going to say. the same goes for the elcor ^_^

[Lunardivider24]

@ShepardCommander1337 I hear you I thought the same thing I hope they make him a little more violent in 3 like HK-47

[OkamsRazer]

Just to give you folks an idea of how powerful a petawatt is, 1.00 petawatt is more than 1000 times the electrical generation ability of the continental US.

A typical nuclear reactor for instance produces between 3 - 5 gigawatts and a petawatt is 100,000 gigawatts soooo....1.21 petawatts would be the equivalent of 20,000+ nuclear power plants.

[ImaxwellB]

1.21 PETAWATTS!!!!

[AirsickCheese1]

i like the way a geth, one of the many things trying to kill shepard for a long time, this one being alive, has been given the room of the AI core, perhaps one of the most important rooms of the ship, for it to "do nothing" in.

[Puglous]

I chose to rewrite, but even so I think that felt more like the Renegade option. Even though rewriting is less destructive, the reasoning behind it seems more like the kind of cold practicality that should accompany a Renegade choice. The reasoning behind destroying them seems like the kind of arbitrary feel-good bullshit I expect from the Paragon choices that I decide not to make.

[goratrix1799]

@Puglous I concur. This decision was actually one of the ones I had to stop playing to think about. In my opinion this is a choice on par with who you leave to die back in ME 1. You can tell this is a great game in that it actually does make you think about the ethics AND practicality of both choices.

[ADeviatedSeptum]

@goratrix1799 If you had any trouble leaving Ashley to die, then youve got bad taste in women. Besides, there are so many alternatives to having a pure soldier, that such an annoying one, isnt worth it. Kaiden was actually cool, even if i didn't use him at all.

[Peridapheniliac]

@ADeviatedSeptum I always have a hard time leaving her. Sure, she can be annoying and contradictory at times, but who isn't? I like to think she and my femshep were bffs, ya know, once they get over my sheppy always stealing her armor when they first meet... >.>

[OxBigly2010]

"What the heck's a petawatt?"

[TheLordxray]

@OxBigly2010

well that would be 1.21 × 10^15 watts. in other words... its a lot

[lolhaxorthegreat]

Its petawatts though so not technically the same but I see the reference.

[TheValiantBob]

I'm a little confused...by doing this are you making it so all the Geth become good guys like Legion? Also, if you chose to destroy them, will you lose Legion as a party member?

[Skull11137]

@TheValiantBob

Well they will be on legion's side if that is what you mean by become good guys, and no you will not lose him if you destroy them.

[GhostLink92]

@TheValiantBob Nah, he doesn't care wither way. But I'm hoping that rewriting them will give you some more backup in ME3.

[batmanRisen08]

@GhostLink92 I would love that. "Harbinger, we got the geth. You're invasion is invalid".

[TheSimmr001]

his line at 0:14 is also a dead ringer for optimus prime

[timtenthousand]

i think this may have been coincedence

[LuisManuelLealDias]

@timtenthousand no, mass effect is filled with references of other sci fi shows, movies and books. It's most definitely a joke by the devs.

[ThePATRIOT8597]

Am i the only straight guy that thing a sex scene with legion would b good?

[deathrooster14]

@ThePATRIOT8597 Yes. HE'S A FUCKING ROBOT!

[ftlgo238]

@ThePATRIOT8597 Sex in it's most commonly defined terminology would probably not be possible. However, given Legion's presence to begin with and the obvious desire to watch and learn, it would not surprise me if there was some sort of...experiment?

As to whether or not you're the only straight guy...that's another matter. I know that I could see *something* happening with Legion...alas, probably only in fanfiction writing.

[kyle23145]

whats that gun Legion has?

[slyhunter38]

@kyle23145 M-96 Mattock, semi-automatic (single fire) and powerful rifle.. Available through Firepower Pack DLC.

[Lennyohh]

Once this virus upload hits 88 mb/sec you're about to see some serious sh*t

[darkwolve16]

MARTY!!!! I HAVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE REAPERS!!!!!!!

[victorrain]

@darkwolve16 This is pretty heavy, Doc.

[LozzaHHHH08]

What does Easter egg mean in games always woundered can anyone help?

[Syupweque2]

@LozzaHHHH08 A reference to popular culture, or an inside joke.

[rockinsparzy105]

@LozzaHHHH08

An Easter Egg is a hidden secret or joke intentionally put in by the game developers. Hence the term Easter Egg. I think pretty much every video-game 8-bit era and beyond has at least one Easter Egg in it.

[Tahkaullus01]

One point twenty one PETAWATTS?! GREAT SCOTT!!

[ElProxmo]

This is Heavy

[nero314100]

he says 1.21 petawatts, not gigawatts. A gigawatt is equal to 10^9 watts (or 1 with nine 0's) while a petawatt is equal to 10^15 watts (or 1 with fifteen 0's)

[MrLolcatsXD]

Great scott

[vendo233]

Legion: This station will broadcast a powerful electromagnetic pulse. We must vacate the area.

Shep: Good because where we're going....we don't need roads...

Legion: Reference, Earth internet, IMDB.com. Back to the Future, movie. Released 1985. We accept this as an appropriate metaphor.

Shep: ......

[KevinBusomjack]

"Damn!"

*looks at 1:21*

"Damn damn!"

[Kannebas]

Sounds pretty heavy...

[EmpperorIng]

For the record, 1.21 petawatts is 1.21 quadrillion watts of power.

In other words, 1,210,000,000,000,000 watts. In other words: UNNNLIIIMIIITEEED POOWEEERR!!!

[Oxideist]

McFly??? MCFLY?!?!?!?

[Kaweebo]

Hey that's MY armor.

[MASTER1LINK]

oh, this is heavy!!

[Tawverni]

ONE POINT TWENTY ONE PETAWATTS!!?!?!? GREAT GOD-ALMIGHTY GARRUS BEAT ME WITH THE ASS-POLE!

[Boom55667]

i actually got that the first time i heard it. i was like "y '1.21' petawatts & and not 1.22 or 1.20? ITS CUZ THOSE WOULDN'T SEND U BACK TO THE FUTURE!"

[RavagerDX]

Helloooo! *knocks on Shepard's head* Anybody home?

[firelert]

in this mission legion also says executing sudo command when he overides turrets i didn't know geth ran on linux interesting

.

[Chingophia]

I'M TALKING TO YOU MCFLY!!!!

[biogopher]

1.21 pettawatts? But the only thing that has that much shielding is the Bolt class ship of the Lightning brand!

[MadaOOS]

McFllllllly!!!!!

[ShadowAlchemist501]

YOU FAIL! ITS CALLED JIGAWATS NOT PETAWATS.

[TheKiwiJedi]

@ShadowAlchemist501 But you write "Gigawatts".

FAIL!

[Shepard8399]

This is heavy

[johnpa2006]

What is that crazy bluetooth headset miranda is wearing? is that a mod on the PC version of this game?

[seafree08]

@johnpa2006 no its a add on for the game u have to buy it on your system

[Markis2bi4]

Holy crud, I didn't een notice that until now!

[ShishigamiLP]

@CSHawkins100 watt- kilowatt- megawatt - gigawatt- terrawatt -Petawatt. 1.000.000.000.000.000 Watt

[518735]

@CSHawkins100 ALOT OF FUCKING ELECTRICITY!!!!

[canadiangeek]

@CSHawkins100 A petawatt is 10 to the power of 15 watts. Meaning to say that's 1 fallowed by 15 zeros. 1 gigawatt is 10 to the power of 9. So a petawatt is more powerfull but either way it's still huge for transmitting anything.

[OverlordAlex997]

@CSHawkins100 petawats=when you kill animals with electricity

XD

[GymmyRhys]

@CSHawkins100 Its mentioned in one of the codex entries

[Quas454]

@CSHawkins100 1 petawatt is 1.000.000.000.000.000 watt, sp 1.27 petawatt are 1.270.000.000.000.000 watt

[gaAssault34]

@CSHawkins100 a lot of watts.

[RADIOACTIVEBUNY]

1.21 petawatts?!?!? HOLY F*CK

[SpiralKnight90]

A BOLT OF LIGHTNING!!!!!!!!!

[SolidSnakeTheReal]

@SpiralKnight90

EDI: Legion, the only the only thing capable of producing 1.21 petawatts is a bolt of lightning!

[Hspecialsx]

GREAT SCOTT! :O

[Droidek74415]

@Hspecialsx

That's Heavy...
