Tale

Do you not grasp the meaning of powered armor?

Those are Yahg. Which Nepenthe mentioned.

Does she still have her lazy eye? If she doesn't have a lazy eye, it's Ashley IN NAME ONLY.

Interviewing 101: you can't go up against a bow tie. Unless you're John Stewart?

The entire plot of Arrival is pretty stupid. It includes a "we want him alive" moment and locking him in a room where he access to killer robots. This isn't even locking MacGyver in a cupboard. This is locking MacGyver in the weapons locker.

You need to rescue a scientist who uncovered reaper tech that told her that Reapers would arrive in 2 days in a system with a mass relay that would allow them to go anywhere they want. After that, it turns out she's indoctrinated, but that she and her team had a plan to destroy that relay with a masssive meteor. They stopped because the energy released by the relay would destroy a batarian colony near it. So Shepard reactivates the facility, crashes the meteor into the relay, kills 300k batarians, delays Reaper attacks for at least a few months. I think you misunderstood something. Or the way you typed it reads funny to me. They did not stop because of the Batarian deaths. They stopped because of the indoctrination. The deaths of the Batarians is practically an incidental matter. And a plot hook for ME3.

You consider direct-to-dvd cash-ins to be modern anime movies with the best of the best effects? One of those movies isn't even made in Japan. The one with the worst animation, I'd argue. That's some selection process.

I don't think the horse would be very happy with that. You ever been kicked by a horse?

Sturgeon's Law This should be readily apparent to groups of people who go around claiming that all RPGs suck... except the few instances they personally adore and "why don't they just make more of that?" Why people insist on focusing on exceptions in some cases and the general in other, I'll never know.

But how are we supposed to fire that from the back of our horses?

We also wear cowboy hats and ride horses to work.

If Shepard is going to subject me to bad SNL skit based memes, then I prefer death at the hands of Cthulhu spaceships.

Japan can't get a break.

From him liking tunnels you jump to roguelikes? If I mention that I like action shows are you going to suggest Shonen anime? I like guns! Mythbusters I like women! Desperate Housewives

Thanks for reminding me. Collector's Edition owners get it free.

Just finished my Mass Effect 2 run with Arrival. Could have used a boss fight. And now I'm not feeling inspired to play anything. So I might finish a couple of books. I hate when this happens, but it'll be a good change of pace. Until Portal 2 comes out.

I don't blame them, but it's ill-advised to be so vocal about the reasons.

Yeah, I saw that. The pistol in that pack is OP. I wish I'd known sooner, I'm almost done with what will be my last ME2 playthrough.

Blade of the Immortal got an anime?

The oral sex scene is exactly what I suspected it to be. A couple of NPCs engaged in underwear clad innuendo that you walk in on. And some people were claiming that it was going to be some titilation included only for press attention. It was nothing.

That is bleeped up. Overlord still has the Legion crash.

Silver Star Harmony was released last year. It was sweeeeet.

But how does she feel about Space Opera? She hates anything involving space, sci-fi... Anything, serious... We're talking WILL NOT WATCH STAR WARS here! Then lie to her. Tell her Mass Effect takes place on a very black ocean.

But how does she feel about Space Opera?

Apparently Dawn of War 2: Retribution Collector's Edition owners are getting the Dark Angels pack for free. whee
