@GoodKingJayIII provided the following way to skip much of the introduction for the PC version of ME2:
A lot of people don't like the opening 10 minute intro movie, but there is a way to get rid of it. Go to:

This will not get rid of everything, you still have to watch the non-CGI cutscenes and Save Joker. But it does cut down quite a bit. If you want those movies back just rename them to .bik again. If you're worried your renaming the wrong thing, you can download a BIK palyer and confirm the files.
3. For those who hate planet scanning and hacking, there is an easy ini file edit floating around. This is just a colaseced editor that you guys have already been playing with but this one seemed pretty idiot proof to me. This again needs an external program but is non-excutable.

This has all kinds of stuff like god mode, extra weapons, infinite ammo etc., but if you just want the money, just use it to get your resources, save, then exit the game and revert to the non-hacked state.

@korodullin has kindly offered some R&R with a wonderful game of bingo!
@curly haired boy strikes back with awesome wallpapers taken from the ME2:
@Orca has kindly complied all of the shamelessly awful pictures posted in this thread.
@Orca explains how to transfer ME1 to Origin:
From the other thread, enter your info here: https://activate.ea.com/gameactivation.do
then create or link an existing EA classic account. Origin should figure out what's up without you doing anything more at that point.
*If buying ME somewhere other than Origin and it doesn't contain BDTS or PS, contact Origin CS and they can get it fixed for you.

Not now, I've got some calibrations to do.
Ashley really let herself go since two.
Human soldier is the only whos going to get any extra oomph out of the thing using adrenalin rush.. Although Turians get rifle weight reduction at the end of one of their tree's. Their is just not a whole lot of choice with that mechanics of the Falcon.
You are as bad as Bioware.
Whatever, this thread will be amazing until halfway thru page 100.
Should just be able to download it from the bioware social site somewhere on the account you used to register Bring Down the Sky. Also origin is offering to download it for me directly.
There's a universal key... somewhere, which should work (3FLL-43UU-JTN8-W8EX-25J3) here

I think Tuesday is kind of the universal 'patch day'
whats Operation Beachhead?
I'd be strangely comfortable with that.
*Dealwithitshepard.jpg*
So I gave the Phaeston and the Geth Plasma Rifle a shot last night. I think the former is a level 1 and the latter is a level 3? Granted, both were on level 1 characters, so the deck was a little stacked against them being incredible, but both experiences left me very underwhelmed. I had to stay on target for what felt like forever to put a dent in anything.
Which led to a funny moment where I joined a Bronze match with 3 players, all the others between 14 and 20. Half way through the match, the leader leaves, causing a reset, and another player bolts as well. I figure, fuck it, if we die quickly at least I get *some* exp and credits out of it.
But no. The high teens (I think) player and my level 1 with a shitty weapon go all the way to extraction. Only costs like 2 missiles total, and didn't even take all that long. They were damned good, and I just did my best to follow them, keep weak shit from sneaking up on them, and not die/be dead weight. Even picked 'em up a couple times when things got hairy. There was one hacking wave that was pretty intense, with turrets providing overlapping fields of fire while we slowly picked our way out of the clusterfuck the map had become.
Basically, just had to give the game a bit of a handicap and it was pretty badass, even for Bronze.
Even the 'testicularly gifted' need love too.
We don't know yet. If it's anything like previous weeks, I think we'll find out today or tomorrow? They generally let us know by mid week.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
Goliath: Fri March 16th.
Fortress: Fri March 23rd.
Raptor: Wed March 28th.
I wonder if they didn't just break their usual friday announcements to account for giving people extra time to have characters promote worthy, so while we might get rumours or leaked info in the next few days, the actual blog posts seem to crop up on the Friday a given event begins.
Personally I hope they keep announcing them early. It's nice to know what the objective will be ahead of time.
Edit: @Tejs Good to know, I'll give that a shot sometime.
Way better than the Revenant with the right mods. The spread on the revenant is just too much. With Marksman, I could ping enemies all the way across the map with the Phaeston. This isnt surprising though when you realize the phaeston says it's made by Turians.
I get the love for the Revenant though. I through the stability mod on, hit cover, and became a bullet hose.
Beachhead is probably a Gold-related mission, a speed run, or maybe tech/biotic explosion kills? No idea how they'd track the last one though.
LOLZ - I've never had so much fun playing something. Basically, cloak up, run to find where the Reapers are spawning, throw a Sticky Grenade and then Cloak Shotgun and it's just mass death.
The build probably sucks on Silver (and most assuredly on Gold), but it's hilarious fun on Bronze. Every once in a while, you need to step back and enjoy some of the multiplayer instead of farming for spectre packs.
Walk right up to a fully shielded and healthy Marauder and one shot him with a massive shotgun blast. Takes 4 shots it seems to take down a fully shielded Geth Prime.
But that's probably because the only decent shotguns I have are lvl1, and super heavy. Thus killing my cooldowns. So not only do I have to wait forever for cloaking, but I also can't really burst things down like I think I should be for the playstyle.
I did enjoy sniping, but I have the shitty common sniper rifle with 1 shot before reloading.
We won
Luckily, mutiplayer is still fun, even if I got a Falcon upgrade as the rare in fully 50% of my Spectre packs. I can wait for Bioware to get its shit sorted.
