Badass art on that Play cover.

More when I wake up.

Hooray. As much as I despise the awful Dragon Age content management stuff, it's at least a step up from the Mass Effect stuff. Is there a way to install Bring Down the Sky without using their installer? It keeps fucking up, and now it doesn't even recognize I have ME installed.

edit: Fuck it I'll just start over. Bioware: so good at games, so bad at dlc.

ahahaa holy shit Thane

Stilts

Man, Thane has some big, full lips. They're just so...kissable...

Couscous

What the hell is wrong with Mr. Fishman there?

Couscous

It looks like it was done by a person slightly more talented than Liefeld.

-Tal

Also, Priestly confirmed Vanguard video tomorrow on IGN.

Stilts

I find it kind of funny that Shep and Thane have their SERIOUS BUSINESS faces on, but Miranda is looking happily into the distance and SuZe is all "eh...whatever."

I like to think Tali is crossing her eyes.

YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!

nonplussed

Didn't they already show the Vanguard in action? He looks like he has some sort of teleport shoulder charge that's going to be too awesome for my ME1 Infiltrator to pass up.

Spoit

Oooh, a feature on CryEngine 3? I need to go pick that up.

Oh yeah, and something about quads, I guess :P

-Tal

Thane's face can't stop cracking me up

It wasn't a proper class video. It was just like, "Hey, check out this awesome new biotic power we came up with!"

Did you guys really go through 100 pages in a few days? Or did something happen to the old thread?

PolloDiablo

Who's that other chick? Miranda? Is there an introduction video for her?

Alegis

She's shown a bit in that voice actor video.

Nah, the old thread was created two weeks ago. Santa Claustrophobia created a new thread while the old one was still on page 94, so tube locked the new thread. But that new thread was still locked when the old thread reached 101, so BlackDove created a NEW new thread.

That said, we are pretty talkative, even about mundane stuff.

For example, what kind of fish does everyone want for their aquarium? I'd like to see some clown fish.

-Tal

I wish Miranda looked more like that in-game.

It'll get worse. At release we were going through Dragon Age threads like every other day

Seeing as she's supposed to be the "perfect woman," making her look more like Psylocke would help that claim.

Alegis

Miranda makes me doubt to change my femshepard to male shepard because I am a pathetic nerd.

But then I'd be sacrificing Jennifer Hale for some dude with an emotionless voice.

-Tal

Miranda is a sentinel. That makes her perfect.

Couscous

I think I will like Miranda about as much as I like Space Elf.

Dunxco

I love the feel of a fresh, full set of Krogan testicles in the wee hours.

I mean, uh. Fresh new thread.

We'd be two snipers picking off floating enemies Samara would be tossing around.


Perfect

The art reminds me of the stuff you'd get from Limp Bizkit album covers in the late 90s.

PolloDiablo

Has anyone installed BDtS into the x86 program files? Would steam still recognize the game if I moved mass effect to the x64 path?

Word life, this is basic Thaneanomics.

So today I finally cleared hardcore, it said I unlocked a gamerpicture but it is nowhere to be found among my other ones?
(What does it even look like?)

Edit: oh christ, well I see there is no choice but to grind on for insanity picture reward instead.

nonplussed

I think that's the Robo-Saren in mid scream picture. As for where it is... check towards the end of your gamer picture list.

According to the official forums, it looks like this.

The Insanity mode one is just "N7" I think.

New character profile videos, i'm not to sure how to just embed them, so here's Grunt and Thane

Alegis

Grunt is actually an Ork.

I don't think they're new. Didn't they come out before New Year's?

Yeah, they did, but whatever. They're the newest stuff we have. I kind of wish they had done a different pairing, though. Like, replace one of them with Tali or Miranda. Getting Thane and Grunt at same time communicates the "I will totally kill tons of dudes for Shepard" theme a bit too much.

So I tried to fire up ME once this morning and after character creation and a bhadass walk to the bridge, my ship got zapped by the giant gyroscope/tuning fork (a relay) and after a fade to black, CTD with an error submission screen. So does anyone have ab suggestion for someone who got this on steam and needs a distraction fromSaints Row 2?

Frosty the Snow Plow

Send your fleet in.

edit: Try the technical forum in the official forums. As much as I dread to suggest going there.

ME2 should have horses
