Sharing a bed with someone could temporarily reduce your brain power - at least if you are a man - Austrian scientists suggest.
When men spend the night with a bed mate their sleep is disturbed, whether they make love or not, and this impairs their mental ability the next day.
The lack of sleep also increases a man's stress hormone levels.
According to the New Scientist study, women who share a bed fare better because they sleep more deeply.
Bah, I find I sleep much more when the girl is snuggled with me and I sleep more deeply. I'm also much less likely to wake up due to people noise.
What do you mean by "much more?" You don't always regain consciousness (or remember regaining consciousness) when your sleep is disturbed, and if you mean you "sleep" for longer periods of time that's likely supporting the study's conclusion.

Been three days since I've experienced a Mass Effect and I'm starting to tweak a little.
Planning a nice four or five hour gameplay session tonight which should round out the rest of my cast and put me on mark to complete the final missions.
Preacher, that is my impression and what I'm doing. I think you might have time to do other shit after that, all I know is that once you recruit
Legion you can only do once mission (ideally his loyalty mission) before moving the main plot forward or else bad things will happen
Ok I don't even have a dossier on that duder.
Character spoilers/general gameplay.
I do like how its way fucking easier to get the side missions for people you recruit, though I was pissed during the samara daughter battle royale the fucking sound cut out.
Also I'm actually finding myself using Samara and I fucking hated the last asari. Jacobs side mission was freaky though.
Preacher on
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

Specifics:
If you do more than one mission, you don't make it in time to save your minor crew members.
Wait WHAT. What are you talking about!
WHAT.
I'm sorry. I did not mention that I was referring to the end game. I guess I assumed it was implied in the posts that I'd quoted. :oops:
It's okay, I read your spoiler first because I thought you were replying to Preacher and not someone else, so I thought you were talking about loyalty missions. Actually I'm a little relieved.

Meaning my nightly average goes from four hours a night to seven hours. I also feel much more refreshed.

my sound cut out too at that scene! i have subtitles on, but when they were doing their little 'biotic showdown', reminiscent of a dbz kamehameha-final flash battle, all sound was muted... hah

Have you beaten the game yet?
No, which is why I'm relieved, because I thought you were talking about doing more than one loyalty mission. I'm doing all of the loyalty missions before I progress the story. But I'm also kind of glad I know about this because I wouldn't want to be messing around with side missions if it hurt the crew.

Ok so not just me, at first I thought I fucked up my box or something, but the sound came back... How the fuck is that still a bug in there?

Sigh. Time to go back to writing e-mails telling this customer I'm not going to do his job for him. I wish I could just say it like that. This dancing around the case is drawing things out and making it uncomfortable.

Yeah, you only have to worry after completing the IFF mission.
you might not think it's a spoiler but it is for someone who hasn't beaten the game
Sorry, sir.

So the escapist is hiring a new webcomic artist to design a twice weekly comic for them and work on contract. It's a contest, and I know my chances are slim compared to the competition these days..
but guys. They e-mailed me directly inviting me to enter, and I'm not on any webcomic mailing lists, groups, and I haven't advertised in months. So however they found me, it makes me a lot happier.
