Just wanted to spot some references to various things throughout the game for no good reason. Here a just a few to start out with:
- The protagonist of the non-dlc storyline is named after a miss-spelling of the evil elder-god city from H.P. Lovecraft's Mythos. Kinda' makes sense since the city of Rhyleh rose from the waters when Cthulhu awoke and Ryley, (the player,) rockets his way off of the planet once he awakes from whatever short-lived unconsciousness he was. (Or he was insane and delusional for most of the game and so he was really only conscious for the very end.)
Note: The city of Rhyleh is sort-of like the floater island
- The PRAWN suit is likely a reference to the Prawn Suit from District 9; a mobile 'nanosuit' powered by liquid power-cells
- The Precursors' tech is very reminiscent of that of the Borg from Star Trek

more like 'feetcrabs' since you can stand on them and make them take you places :P
