Actually, all the Helium on Earth escaped the atmosphere long ago. Still, it was funny.

 

Oh yeah? Explain balloons, bitch.

 

Of course a renegade Nazi party in 1941, when they foresaw the ending a war, took all the excess helium from earth and transported it to the dark side of the moon, where they used it to fuel their nazi moon base while plotting how to strike back at the Allies.

 

Wow, don't you know anything?

Everyone knows the moon is actually a hollow metal dome made to camouflage the aliens space station.

 

Ha, everyone knows the moon is actually an enormous Utu-class starship of the Fourth Imperium named Dahak.

 

Please. Everyone knows the moon is a lie.

 

Made of cheese, and infested with rapid werewolfs.

 

Back on topic:

 

...lol WD.

 

Actually given an in-Universe explanation. Essentially, the omnitool's uplink to your brain processes all languages it 'hears' and translates them into your native language (In this case, English) so you can communicate with different species.

 

I don't recall any mention of the omnitool linking with your brain at all (at most they mention sub-dermal implants, which is a bit vague), but yeah, translation is explained. The sort of perfect translation we get in the game may be a bit convenient, but I can forgive that because I'd rather not hear Tali's or any other alien's dialogue with weird mistranslations or awkward phrasings, and because the Citadel's probably had centuries, if not thousands of years to perfect translation software.

Mass Effect nerdery aside, that's a lot of pics. I feel like poking fun at Skyrim's a bit overdone by now though.
