    Also, those "Talimancers" are ruining Tali for me.

    I can't take reading the Mass Effect 2 Tali thread. It's some sort of sick punishment.

    Seems there's less posting on this thread.

    Basic rule of thumb is, if you like a character, NEVER visit their appreciation thread on the official forums. The Tali thread is hands down the worst though. It's not even close.

    Nah, not joking. Was just reading all of these terrible Tali fanfictions and decided to see if I could make one that's actually readable and maybe makes an iota of sense.

    Fuck its hard. You have to shut off the voice in the back of your head that says "THIS IS FUCKING RETARDED YOU ARE FUCKING RETARDED" so you don't end up deleting portions that might be good.

    And man I've learned more about the complexities of conception than I ever wanted to.

    Isn't the obvious problem the amino acid chiralities? You know, the fact that a whole bunch of bacteria on Earth specifically encode dextro amino acids to use as poisons against their enemies?

    More importantly...jesus christ stop. STOP NOW.

    i don't understand how you get over the fact that Tali is more likely to be knocked up by a Palaven dandelion than Shepard

    also the horribleness of what you are concocting and the shame it will bring upon your family name

    Somebody tell me if this is a real thing.

    Also, Robman's Tali's Head Asplode video got me wondering if there's an MP3 floating about of the music from that part of the gameplay. Not "Suicide Mission", but the track that actually plays when you're running around killin' mans. For some reason, that key shift (around 0:21 in the video) gets me every time.

    This is a real thing. It is the best thing (it's also a paragon response - the renegade one is not nearly as hilarious). ME2 really stepped up the paragon responses.

    Also I'm pretty sure it's actually part of Tali's theme that plays in the first part of the suicide mission - though it could also be part of "End Run". There are definitely some shared themes going on there (not surprising since Tali's theme is pretty much the best character track).

    I believe the music during the mission is "The End Run"

    Oh yeah - a lot of them are good. Tali's is probably my favorite because it's energetic enough to run to - it sets a nice pace. Garrus's is growing on me - I like the wild west homage at the start before it breaks down to the dark metal beat.
