I started reading the books because my brother wouldn't stop rec'ing them. Currently 1/3 way through the first one...

...I am not enjoying it all that much and will probably never watch the show. There's constant gross abuse and nigh masturbatory, misogynistic gratuity every other page -- and the show is supposedly even worse in parts? It would simply not be enjoyable for me.

I do like Tyrion. His actor did an AMA on reddit last week.

#16449064 What's up with you?

i am a sham guys

a sham wow

A sexy sham wow.

That's fantastic that you had that experience! If anything, it proved it's more than possible for you to be on that level with other professionals, and it's never a bad thing to have more cred.

The top middle and bottom left are hard to guess :/

People seem to have trouble with those. They're Rachni and Prothean.

alright, here is Feron being all goopy:

he is a rascal.

This is the most adorable thing of all the adorable things I had not yet encountered until this moment, and by that I mean I LOVED IT.

The seamless memory transition, the perfectly played stream of consciousness narrative interjections, the descriptions, the alternating POVs, the awkward adorableness - EVERYTHING. So good.

So good, that I pseudo-humbly request more.

I occasionally still do ME stuff; sometimes I will upload a ficlet/drabble/wordpurge here or here.

Other times I doodle a bit, almost always by request, as my Mass Effect muse is not very energetic. Most everything can be found on my tumblr. Latest efforts:

I also created graphics for a Civilization V massive Mass Effect mod a while back:

(Guess the race!)

And a bonus one I did that I didn't upload publically:

i like the idae of playing a dwarf

but i also like, dont give a **** cause who cares...

Also cullen is a companion and romance option, that automatically turns me off to the game quite a lot...

I've seen his name thrown around a lot, but have never played the games, so that's about it. Who is he to the fandom?

I'm going to assume they've started dropping potential LI names now?

I'm reminded that I still have my signed and autographed ME: Galaxy iphone skin that I won years back.

I didn't have an iphone at the time.

My interest is pretty much exclusively robots, with a side of binging on art supplies and work - at least until The Walking Dead returns in October. I'm not much of a TV person other than that.

I still enjoy gaming, but due to series of events, haven't played anything in a long time. One day, Skyrim.

What. Really? I trolled around the store for a few minutes the other day and don't remember seeing that...

EDI's design is just another one of those things I feel salty about.

Where is Grunt?

And, of course, Kaidan.

Samara?

Jacob?

Vega?

Or is this the work of, "1 species representation only and no other dudes to compete with Sheploo whom we will fill the pivotal first focal point of the image with, despite him representing a completely customizable player character who could be black or brown or even a woman."

I also can't take the tiny Illusive man seriously.

There is a lot off with this.

[Edited out some irrelevant observations]

I agree with those who say that Thane and Kolyat have a lot to work out, and require time to do so (as Thane points out. But Thane has ever been a realist.) There are indications that Thane and Kolyat are keeping in touch after Thane's loyalty mission, not only in Thane's conversation afterward, but in ambient dialog when you visit the Citadel as well. Their communication is still rough around the edges, and I'd think it would take a few attempts before anything approaching normalcy was established, but... It's a start, and a start is better than nothing. But wounds forged through years of well-meaning (but ultimately misguided - horribly, horribly misguided) intent and sealed in the blood of a loved one are not solved with five minutes of tears in front of strangers.

Although five minutes of tears is a good start.

Why should his personality take such a drastic turn such as a change in sexual orientation?

The problem here is people thinking this would be a drastic change, which is a hyperbole of the highest order.

Frankly, if someone freaks out over the possibility that a 'bro' might be hitting on them (ignoring the fact that ME romances are player-initiated), and this IRREVOCABLY DAMAGES THEIR PERCEPTION OF THE CHARACTER FOREVER!...

...their opinion isn't worth one damn to me.

I have no desire to coddle the thinly veiled homophobia of one player at the expense of a minority that has been left out and mistreated for far too long.

I am crawling out of NSAS and into the light of the main forum long enough to say that the collab looks great, and thank you, Hana, for organizing it!

We'd have had even more folks contribute, but 96 on such short notice is still impressive!

Thompson family wrote...

When squadmates get killed in combat, they can be revived with medigel. Therefore, I've always assumed that enviro suits have on-board life preservation gear that sustains at least minimal processes for at least a limited time, if the damage is not massive.

Your team mates aren't really killed when they fall in battle, they're just knocked out or sustain serious injury. Shep then slaps medi-gel on them (or they magically hop back up once they've recovered), enough to get them through the mission until they can get back to the Normandy to be seen about.

Them keeling over is more of a game mechanic and wouldn't happen 'in the real world,' but yeah, most armors (and some dermal materials) would have gel-dispensing weaves or something like that, I'd think. Many of Shep's armors include such conduits.

Either way there'd be enough present tech to keep someone up and running despite injury/shock.

As far as Shep's death... I try not to think about it too deeply on a technical level, because that's just asking for a headache.

#3444511 Is there a person who DOESN'T like Garrus?

Posté par IccaRa sur 19 août 2010 - 11:59 dans Fan Creations

I don't hate Garrus, but I understand why people don't like him (and yes, many don't. Same for any character.)

I felt like his ME2 incarnation was trying too hard. Too snarky. It did annoy me that his LM was yet another revenge mission, and defaulting him back to renegade was sort of cheap of the game to do, even if it was due to logical limitations. It gives the impression that he has no character development because he does the same thing over and over again, especially if you *did* renegade him in ME1.

I think it would have been more interesting if his loyalty had involved something personal that wasn't revenge. And what about his father? Duty? His deviance as a turian re: the hierarchy, etc? He's not normal for a turian, but people forget that. He needed some kind of foil.

He also had too little conversations, and his constant "Just like old times, Shepard!" comments got on my brother's nerves (lol.)

Some people strongly disagree with Garrus' philosophy of justice.

Some people think his skillsets suck.

Some people think he is ugly.

Some people grow to hate the character because of how big and vocal his fanbase is; overexposure.

Some people dislike his character shift. Some people dislike that your treatment of him does not carry over. Some people dislike that he is required.

People can and do dislike him for a number of reasons, both in-depth and shallow, just like any other team mate.
