Could be unintentional, but still:

"There are Reapers creeping around in there!"

Possibly a reference to Reaper Creeper from The World Ends With You.

Also, I didn't realize the "machine gun robot girlfriend" (Pardon the pun) quote was a Cave Story reference!

And a refernce to Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann:

"You are the arrow of light that pierces the heart of darkness!"

Compare that to:

"Yours is the drill that will pierce the heavens!"
