Mass Effect 2 Message Board  

I don't think Blasto is really a Spectre. Blasto is a reference to a joke made by writer Patrick Weekes on the official Mass Effect forums.

Hey, I was wondering how long it takes for 24 hours to pass in-game? I did all the other missions and while traveling to other systems seem to switch the video archives, the deliveries and investments seem to take longer.

I know, that was my point, given BW's history of giving slight nods to the fans - the advert for Blasto on the Citadel - and their ability to take jabs at themselves - comments about Omni-Gel in the DLC.

@darkus37: 24 hours is 24 hours. It's literally the next day.

Thanks, for the info - btw, I checked the wikia:

Blasto the Jellyfish Stings

An exploitation film centered around the fictional character Blasto, portrayed as the first hanar Spectre. Blasto, who is described as having "a lover in every port and a gun in every tentacle" also appears, based on quoted dialogue (see below) to be based off of the fictional character Dirty Harry. However, the film has been the subject of criticism from anti-defamation groups who object to the use of the term 'jellyfish', which many hanar view as an ethnic slur.
[edit] Quotes

* "This one doesn't have time for your solid waste excretions."
* "This one has forgotten whether its heatsink is over capacity. It wonders whether the criminal scum considers itself fortunate?"
* "Enkindle THIS."

[edit] Trivia

Blasto is a reference to a joke made by writer Patrick Weekes on the official Mass Effect forums. When posting in a thread titled 'Your ideal ME2 squad', he included "Blasto the zany multi-pistol-wielding hanar gunslinger with a dark past, a heart of platinum, and the tendency to shout, "Enkindle THIS!" in combat."[1] Blasto quickly became popular among fans, with Weekes noting "I am never going to live that joke down."[2]

I loved the joke about omni-gel. funny stuff. the dossier stuff is good too.

Yes. The LotSB dlc does update with a patch to 1.02. So you have to get the updated trainer.

Well im hopeing for more DlCs involving Kirrahe of the 3rd Infiltration Regiment STG (special task group) since i made sure he made it out alive on Virmire after nuking Saren's cloning base and hopes he and my Shepard might have the opportunity to work together again in the future.

And let's not forget Balak, leader of the batarian terrorist group that almost crashed Asteroid X57 into the human colony of Terra Nova and Shepard did ask him who is in charge of the batarian's terrorist actions, it is likely that Balak, as well as other batarian terrorist groups, answer to a higher authority, maybe the Reapers?
