    That concept art looks a lot like a fetus. If that had been in the game the wingnuts probably would have attacked the game for ending with Shepard, et al. performing the galaxy's largest abortion.

    I try Kazaka, I try. :P

    I'm on a bit of a ME subbatical, but I'm keeping up on the Cerberus Daily news updates. I liked the one where the Turian general dueled the Seperatist leader in particular. It'd be cool to have a dueling sidequest in ME3.

    Holy crap guys I just started playing ME1 on my brand-new HD tv (after upgrading from an old SD) and I never knew that the "investigate" symbol on the map was a circle with a question mark inside of it before! I just thought it was an orange dot!

    Later I can see the Turian councilor make fucking air quotes at me... in high definition! Exciting!

    Also, to the guy who made that scary-Shepard: Please tell me you named him "Voldemort," because he looks exactly like the movie version of voldemort

    Has anybody else talked to the C-Sec lady officer at the very beginning of the Citadel who talks about Geth infiltration with Legion in your party?

    It is a funny conversation that I hope you will enjoy.

    I'd like to know where they got the idea the Geth infiltrate. Kind of hard for walking periscopes and giant crabs to blend in. This isn't BSG. And they couldn't have meant electronically as that security wouldn't do anything. And then they don't even recognize one. Just a result of them cramming a Geth into the party I guess.

    Uh, that's like saying most people don't know what tornado's look like after one just hit Washington DC or something. And then furthermore the tornado experts don't know what they look like. It be like if a guy with a bomb strapped to his chest walk by airport security. Just WTF.

    You, as Shepard, just executed the galaxy's biggest falcon punch. Much cooler than a coathanger.

    Do his personal quest. You did talk to him earlier, right? Or just wander amongst the side planets and eventually you'll run across it without talking to him.

    Has anyone purchased the Aegis package? Thoughts and comments on it?

    I had enough bioware points left over from my dumb-ass earlier purchasing of kasumi and overlord (BOTH TIMES I got the 800 points instead of the 560 points or whatever the exact amount is) to get the aegis package. The armour is pretty nifty - particularly for vanguards as it upgrades melee quite a bit. The incisor is meh so far. I prefer the viper.

    Give your squadmates the Incisor to trigger the Easy Mode. The game pretty much plays itself at that point. At least the combat portion.

    Excuse me. People here will leave Ashley to die for some barely questionable race remarks, but Wrex pulls a gun on you, openly questions your command, and threatens to compromise the mission, you hope a few words will keep him in line as the temptation grows stronger inside the base. I bet you're the kind of person who talks Grunt down instead of shooting him. It's the only language these savage krogan understand.

    Okay, it's been a while since I've done that mission so I'll concede the point. I will change the reason for the shepard smack-down to giving me lip.

    The mission brief says the objective is to liberate the facility, it doesn't mention killing Vido. Zaeed just goes all nuts, you know, because of his little grudge.
