How to Be Sure You and Your Squad Survive *SPOILERS*
*SPOILERS*
Your choices during the Final part of the game are largely irrelevant so long as who you choose for each role makes sense. For example when you need a powerful biotic don't use someone who is a split specialization. Otherwise make sure you buy the shields, armor, and weapon upgrades for the Normandy or you won't last long. Also make sure you complete all of your squads personal quests by talking to them, then completing the mission. This way they are more loyal to you and will be willing to work harder to complete the mission.
On one last note if you complete any side missions after "additional captives" are taken after you collect your squad you will not be in time to save all of them.

Faster Planet Mineral Scanning
For a faster way to scan the planets move cursor to the left or the right of the planet you're scanning and point both analog sticks the same direction. It will double the spin speed of the planet and allow finding resources on that grid line even faster.

Ilium
Go to the bar in Ilium, talk to the bartender and get a good look at her face. ASk her for a drink and she'll open the kiosk for you. Buy the mystery drink, and it will produce a drunk effect. Now try talking to the bartender again, notice something different?

Dragon Age Origins Reference

Video Game Salesman
Entry location:
citadel
The video game salesman on the citadel makes references to GTA, Halo 3, Gamestop and Call of Duty. He uses different names for the games but its obvious what he's talking about.

Sci-Fi Movie Reference *SPOILERS*
When EDI suggests giving her control of the ship to escape the Collectors', Joker refuses, screaming "If you start singing 'Daisy Bell' I'm done!" This references in last moments of the homicidal HAL computer in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Before he connects EDI to the control systems, he says "Great, this is where it starts, and when we're all just organic batteries, guess who they'll blame?" referring to The Matrix.

Mortal Combat Reference
When Jacob uses Pull, he will sometimes yell "Get over here!" This is a reference to Mortal Kombat's Scorpion, who yells the same thing when pulling enemies towards him.

Another Elevators Refference
During Miranda's loyalty mission, after getting on a very slow elevator with the first game's music, she hacks the elevator to move faster. This is a reference to the fan dislike of the first game's slow elevator rides.

Uranus Jokes
If you travel to Sol (our solar system) you can still mine planets. You'll notice that Uranus is already depleated, but if you "Probe Uranus" anyway EDI will have a few special comments for you.

Baldurs Gate refference
When her combat drone is summoned, Tali will occasionally shout, "Go for the optics! Go for the optics!" This may be a reference to Baldur's Gate 2's Minsc, who shouted, "Go for the eyes, Boo! Go for the eyes!" Tali's combat drone is named Chikktika, another subtle reference to Baldur's Gate 2. Chikktika Fastpaws is the loyal raccoon familiar of Baervan Wildwanderer, a gnomish deity worshipped by Aerie.

Legion doing the Robot
If you visit Legion in the AI core, and don't talk to him, after a short time he will start doing the Robot dance.

Elevators Reference
If you travel around with Tali and Garrus the recurring party members, eventually they will have a conservation about the elevators. Garrus will remember it fondly remembering the interesting conservations they had about Quarrians. While Tali gets very upset about to the point of threatening Garrus with her shotgun to stop.
