    I could see her doing Kasumi's sidequest, and maybe Zaeed since he's all about the cash.

    Hell depending on how much she dislikes Jack she might even go along with that one, blowing up a building seems up her alley.

    she's looking forward to meeting Jack after i told her that she also hates miranda

    pretty sure she's gonna like Zaeed too

    so as long as I convince her to upgrade the armor on the ship to save jack she's got the potential to survive

    also important

    kasumi's mission gives her an outfit she can wear to the bar
    Hey, I just realized.

    In Mass Effect 2, they actually serve drinks in the bars.

    yeah

    i dunno if she's gonna feel like playing today, but when we finally get to the bar in Omega she's gonna be happy

    she's gonna be less happy when she gets poisoned.


    but then I'm betting she'll be EXTRA happy when she gets revenge and free non-poisoned drinks afterwards

    And I'm pretty sure you can get as shit-faced as you want at the bar on the Citadel, too.

    the trick to geth SMG is not to start firing it when you actually want to start firing at the enemy

    you pre-fire so the fire rate is already high

    i am not

    the first second or two of geth smg is not very good

    it's like charging up a geth plasma shotgun

    you hold the trigger for a couple seconds till it kicks in high gear AND THEN YOU RIP SHIT TO SHREDS

    works effectively

    i can't speak to it on Gold but on Silver combined with Marksman this makes it a death hose

    also toss on a mag increase and most importantly of all

    the recycler

    180 shot mag that actually lasts for closer to like, 300 shots

    that's been my experience

    like i just sweep hallways with that fucker and annihilate shit

    you would think with a gigantically cranked fire rate, i'd burn through mags and ammo alarmingly

    but no

    the recycler makes mags last FOREVER it's retarded

    Is the recycler the thing that gives each shot a whatever percent chance of not using up the thermal clip

    yes

    it's 45% on my gun

    which means about half of my shots don't use up the clip, in theory

    but in practice the game seems to actually roll against that percentage chance per shot

    which means a 180 round clip, at the least, will last 180 shots if somehow that roll fails for each round

    but it tends to actually last for WAY long than that

    usually Marksman runs out before my mag does

    I got the Justicar last night. Not sure what I think of her. I was having a real tough time making the bubble biotic explosions work on gold.
    So my brother and I ended up on a Geth White Gold match last night with 2 pubbies, one went Justicar and the other went Asari Adept. The amount of biotic explosions they set off was amazing, they were killing groups of pyros at a time!

    so, here's a thing with biotic explosions and the justicars

    if you have the Warp version of the bubble (which you should because it is amazing), if you cast Reave (or someone else casts throw) on someone in your bubble, you get a biotic explosion

    but if they already have Reave on them when they walk into the bubble, it doesn't explode

    however, if an enemy has Reave active on them and then you cast your bubble, it makes them explode

    pro-tip: Take Area Reave, cast it on some enemies as you close, then bubble around them

    EACH ENEMY EXPLODES

    Yeah I know how it works it just wasn't reliable. I don't know if it takes a second for warp to take effect in the bubble or what.

    I am thinking for gold the bubble might not be so great. I'm gonna respec my Drell adept for grenades (from throw) and see how that does. At least it will be more effective on boss units.

    You know Speed, there's a problem with calling your mom a bitch. You son of a bitch. <3

    I realize how tenuous it is to expect her to fall for any of the love interests. Garrus is awesome of course, but we're talking about someone who didn't get chills at one of the best scenes in ME1 - the Soverign reveal. Chances are she won't be paying attention while Garrus is being awesome.

    My bet now is that she will make Jacob her love interest on accident. (the priiiiiize).

    Opened my special Victory pack and got a Gethgineer.

    Bought some Bioware points to open Resurgence packs and got a Justicar.

    I am pleased with my purchase.

    As I understand it the damage reduction isn't much to the Justicar herself. It would be awesome for the Kroguard though. A bubble with barrier and rage would be like 70% damage reduction.

    Whoops

    Krogan vanguard versus Reapers on silver, wave 5. I know banshees will start coming eventually, but there's no scream at the start of the wave, so I charge into a group of cannibals.

    ...Just as i press Y, I hear the scream, and notice that one enemy in the group I charged has a barrier up.

    One hit killed in the first 10 seconds of a wave. I'm now that vanguard.

    The way you use Geth SMG is you basically hold the button down the entire match.

    Not a great weapon for classes where you want to be spamming biotic powers.

    That really seems like the way to do it, as reinforcement for sentinels and other bullet-spewy types who are helped by spending a lot of time out of cover

    Or just use the bubble offensively, of course

    remember to level pull reave and bubble to have maximum area of effect.

    Do it for safety.

    I don't know if Taky still pops in on occasion or not, but if he does, let me say this.
    If he wrote the dialouge for EDI and Joker, or knows who does, that stuff is damn funny as hell.
    Don't know if that is really spoiler worthy but, eh, best to be safe.

    Your team has to push a bomb from point A to point B while you get attacked

    It might not work well against NPCs, but it could be a neat change from horde mode
