Yes, this is the thread where you can endlessly make jokes about disrespecting press rights and saturating the Citadel with half-hearted business endorsements.

Before we get down to that, though, let's remind ourselves about this series that we do so love to show our custom.

    I figured out what Sheploo and Vega's baby will look like.

    It has a five o' clock shadow.

    Guess I'm preordering from Gamestop.

    Can't afford no stinking special edition though.

    Nah, the collector's edition has a N7 weapons pack which has a special variant of every weapon except an assault rifle, which Gamestop got

    Fuck'em. Not to sound childish....but they started it.

    The question is (and this is baseless speculation)
    If the Reapers surrender after you kick their ass (and you will, you're Shepard) would you accept it?

  • Romanian My EscutcheonRomanian My Escutcheon Two of Forks Registered User regular
    Probably.

    But they're gonna have to give up more than a fair bit to get me to buy it.

    Nope. She worried about Wrex and Liara, but she was cool with Tali. Liara, it was mainly because her mom was one of the big bads, and Ash's family history meant she didn't think someone could hide stuff like that from their kid.

    And Wrex, much as we all like him, is kind of an odd choice to let on the ultimate prototype secret spaceship.

  • Romanian My EscutcheonRomanian My Escutcheon Two of Forks Registered User regular
    I wouldn't say so.

    For a figher like Wrex, just being able to go after Saren and the renegade Geth probably would've been enough to buy his silence.

    Not to mention he's not much of a technical guy, smart as he is.

    Here is the link to how to use a thumbdrive to export your Xbox saves to edit them so you never have to scan planets or decide what skills to buy again. (Thanks to DontShootToasters, for tracking it down.)

    you're = you are
    your = belonging to you

    their = belonging to them
    there = not here
    they're = they are
  • WeedLordVegetaWeedLordVegeta Registered User regular
    Look, Ashley's prejudices against aliens are mainly limited to races that humanity has had direct conflict with because she subconsciously blames them for her family's dishonor, fine.

    but the second you equate intelligent beings to dogs you are at the very least Space Trent Lott.

    To be fair, all your squadmates across ME1 and 2 had issues. Even Jacob (the apparent normal one).

    I reckon "lets get loud and spill some drinks on Omega" is code for "i have a drinking problem"

    No she's not. It's in the context of whom she'd rather see thrive, as I recall.

    No, it's the humans. Seriously is right.

    It's a story about why the Council will leave humanity out to dry. The council is the hunter, the bear is Geth or Rachni or Batarians or Reapers, and humans are the dog.

    The hunter (the council) likes the dog (humans or other species not on the council) a lot. But when a bear (massive threat) comes along, they will toss the dog to the bear to buy a little more time.

    The dog, therefore, should not count on the hunter when bears attack.

    Simple.

  • SeriouslySeriously Registered User regular
    from the council's point of view

    we are the dog that she is predicting will be left behind

    To be fair, Thane killed people for money, and Tali was being kind of a bitch.

    So some dickish behavior is expected, if not entirely acceptable.

    Cut to around 1:20.

    She thinks the council will throw the Alliance to the wolves to save itself when push comes to shove.

    She's wrong, but its not racism.

  • WeedLordVegetaWeedLordVegeta Registered User regular
    Thanks for the correction

    Still a sketchy ass way to look at racial politics

    I guess I'm just comparing her against Pressly, whose stance on aliens is similar to hers but it boils down to "If you believe they belong here, so do I" against "I still don't trust them."

    or maybe the council is the weak, and shepard the tyranny of evil men

    well I mean technically it isn't racism because they are aliens and therefore are not humans
