Trivia

• Under this disguise, your health and energy are both powers of 2, which are commonly used in computer engineering.
• Some of the G.O.L.E.M.'s quotes reference Terminator 2: Judgement Day:
  • "I need a vacation" is a direct quote by The Terminator.
  • "Target acquired, danger detected" is most probably based on the messages that appear in Terminators' internal HUD.
• Some of its lines also reference the movie Back to the Future:
  • The line "If you are going to travel through time..."' is paraphrase of a quote by Doctor Emmett Brown (a.k.a. "Doc").
  • "Great Snaff" is likely a reference to the expression "Great Scott", also often said by Doc.
    • Snaff is one of the members of Destiny's Edge in Guild Wars 2 lore.
• "This, too, is the choice of the asura time gate" paraphrases one of the catchphrases of Rintarō Okabe, the protagonist of Steins;Gate.
• "Disregard damage, rescue Gwen"' is a reference to the Joseph Ducreux meme.
