Sounds like a deadline for contract negotiations with potential publishers for a project came and went.

I did guffaw when Javik told they used to lick their eyes

There's nothing random in the suicide mission deaths. The most one often assumed to be "random" are the "hold the line" deaths, which are actually based on a fairly simple mathematic formula, where some crew members are better at holding a fortified positions (Archangel, Grunt, Zaeed), some are bad at it (at least tali, mordin and kasumi). You just have to make sure that the big guns are at the line and preferably send one of the weakest ones to accompany the crew back to the Normandy. Of course, it's possible you ran into some kind of bug I've never heard of, but by design, there are no random elements in the suicide mission deaths. I think some of the confusion stems from not being the "obvious" one that dies from a less than optimal choice.

Yes, you could. You just needed a truck load of renegade points to pull it off.

1. On release, the PC version was crappy. Couldn't start the game because the font size on larger resolutions made the play button unselectable. 2. No idea. Gave up after yet another QTE and constant button mashing. Lacked the special atmosphere of it's predecessor. User interface is horrible. Cold, ugly, sterile and unpleasant to use. 3. Boring action intermingled with QTE's. Corridor shooters has nothing on its linearity. Just my 0.25 of course and I'm fairly sure there is a large number of people who likes that kind of game. I found the first one infinitely more fun though. Uninstalled W2 after some hours play and wrote it off as a loss of money.

Pretty close. Of course, Matrix Revolutions sucked all the way through, this only comes apart on the edge of a crater. I should probably have elaborated a bit more, but I thought about WTF endings petering out a bit into technomysticism and weird stuff. Heck, Battlestar Galactica did it too So far, I'm enjoying it. A bit over the top at times, but it wouldn't be space opera if it wasn't. I like some of the new crew members, not too fond of the ME1 ones. Heck, I even got my own pet reporter on board that I can send out of the airlock if I feel peevish.

It beats running around at night wearing a silly cape. Not to mention, you could actually get hurt if not settling for yelling obscenities from behind the safety of internet anonymity

I'm still working on a backpacker repellant spray. The formula must result in some kind of classy, stylish odour that is anathema to them and drives them away. Non-lethal solutions are often preferable.

I haven't finished the game yet (not even close, only a handful of hours into it), but judging by the ongoing discussion it sounds like it got the "Matrix Revolutions" treatment?

Did you manage to find the super secret space fish? That almost makes me wish that I had cared enough to buy the fish for sale in ME2. I eventually gave in on the ship models-- the couple that I had found looked lonely, so I bought some more. But I saw no reason to take more living beings than I needed along on what was hyped up as a suicide mission. Nice fish, I have to find one of those Took me a while to figure out what the Squeek was down in engineering. Took a bit to work out how to catch it

Bought some quite expensive life support system for my fish. Those guys better appreciate the sacrifices humanity is bringing for them. Managed to find a single fish species so far

Thats a rather incomplete picture Win 2000 was actually quite Ok. Win ME was a bad joke and Windows NT was nothing to write home about (i.e. not Ok).

In 30000 years the Emperor will commence the Great Crusade to unite the scattered human colonies and liberate them from the alien, the mutant and the biotic.

Have they changed the way "Shockwave" works compared to ME2? It seems like most of the time my Adept tries to single out an enemy, it becomes greyed out as not useable. Yes, that's unshielded enemies. Or did they just make most enemies immune that specific power?

Thread getting a bit long... Continued here

Start of old thread End of old thread Dog gone it Bioware, you did it again. One thing is that my ship looks like a condemned building on the inside and the nicely lit rooms have been "dimmed" to gloomy levels. But why do you hate fish? My damn fish tank is empty again ... and too long intro sequence with only partial skippable cutscenes. When you find a mod, does it become available to all guns of a type or is there a limit, say you need 3 scopes for 3 pistols etc.?

If it works just as well as Shale in DA:O, then I would be satisfied. Duh. Not sold in the store, You can only find it on the Mass Effect 3 "poster' under my games in the Origin client, selecting it first and then "Shop for add-ons". Need to have some serious words with their interface designers

Caved in and purchased the game. Started by taking a look at the Origin store. $60 for standard version. Then I logged in and the price jumped to $80 for the same version because of the price fixing that EA practices, Went to Gamersgate instead and bought it for $50, Now busy downloading through the Origin installer. Was there something about a day 1 DLC that was worth getting too? Tried looking around a bit, but can't find anybody selling it, not even EA.

Bought Deus Ex: Human Revolution and 3 DLC's for the staggering total sum of $15 at Gamersgate. Not going to get playing it anytime soon, but the offer was just too good to pass up on. I got a huge backlog of games waiting to get played some day

I seem to remember this issue. One of two possible workarounds was to go back to your "home base" or install a mod that does the same thing (I.e. allows you to reconfigure your party composition). Not sure if there wasn't better ways of doing it, but it was like the A.I. just died and left everybody in puppet mode.

There are days where I have you under suspicion of being Lawful Good... Poor Sorophyx, 37% of all kills and he bites the bullet just before getting to backstab Sarevok

The last two decades, I've gotten by with 4-5 hours of sleep. 6 If I felt really lazy on weekend morning. Maybe I have some catching up to do. It just feels like such a waste of valuable time.

Isn't that 8 hour sleep thing a myth? Maybe toddlers and kids needs it, but I'm fairly sure adults don't.

As a snack or as ammo for a squirrel catapult?

8 hours? what does people do the remaining 4 hours of the workday?
