    PC is circular Frogger.

    Yup. Same "minigame" for unlocking stuff. I don't think I am familiar with frogger.

    EDIT: I'm familiar with frogger, just not with the ME1 version.

    Kaiden is such a bland character with a stick up his arse.

    Even when you're manshep and he's all "I'm not that kind of guy. Blah blah blah."

    Kaiden was cool. In the same way Jacob is. He's had problems but he dealt with it like an adult.

    I don't regret leaving him behind, but man it was a hard decision.

    i mean just look at what we had here:
    9917MassEffect-old-2010-10-30-01-40-42-06.png

    The fact that this beautiful picture is completely devoid of the mako speaks volumes.

    Then again, I expected the mako to live up to the vehicle it appeared to be a copy of. I might have been setting myself up for an inevitable disappointment.

    Just got around to playing the Kasumi DLC (did Shadow Broker first). HOLY CRAP Mass Effect needs more missions like that. I know it was fairly superficial as you just go around interacting with hotspots like every other non-combat action, but if they have scenarios like that with longer branching conversations I think it would add a lot to the non-pewpewpew sections of future stuff.

    I've heard some people say that Overlord is the best of the DLC out there, but just reading the description makes it sound the least interesting. Anything in particular that makes it special? (haven't purchased yet, probably will...)

    I don't know where people keep hearing that Overlord is the best DLC of the bunch, but I completely disagree with whoever is saying that. Overlord is not bad, but it doesn't really compare to LotSB.

    I think LotSB was better overall, but Overlord had a better story and atmosphere.

    Overlord takes a while to get into, but it really is quite epic. One of the few 'morality choices' that actually made me think.

    Also, I don't want to spoil the ending, but it's really well done. Don't go looking for info, I think someone spoiled it earlier.

    Good question.

    Writer of analysis. Classified as person?

    Further research useful.

    Is it possible that the sweat analysis is merely a very elaborate joke? I mean, no one, no one, could have seriously put that much thought into how a fictional character sweats, and what it would smell like.

    I only really played through it once, but the decision seemed pretty clearcut for me.
    Gave him to TIM. Because I am insane enough to believe TIM will save us from the reapers, unlike the majority of people here.

    About your choice:
    But the research was really focused on the geth, wasn't it? I might have gone with Archer if the brother wasn't still aware and screaming. If he was out and already plugged in, then keeping the project going would make sense.
    It was definitely a good set up, a lot harder than the end-game certainly.

    I was under impression that the renegade option
    Alerted TIM to the fact that the good doctor went WAY off the reservation in how he ran the experiment. I assumed that, when Shepard told the guy to straighten up, things would continue in a much more humane and controlled way.

    It's GETH. The Geth are pretty much a done deal at this juncture. It's mop up for the heretics, and the majority are more or less cool dudes. Atrocities for the greater good? Arguable. But it isn't even useful now, and can lead to the apocalypse. Brilliant idea.

    Some shade of red, but considering you put lime in caps, it probably means something else. I don't get it, so care to elaborate for the sake of my curiosity?
