Great pick, now if you could move it more the right, making Shepard the near center piece, it would be perfect.

[MatsudaTohu]

Now, how would it be perfect?

We need Miri at the center.

Miranda is interesting because she is clearly set up as a proto-Illusive Woman, if you will. She's sort of half on her way toward being another Machiavellian pseudo-tyrant, but if you care to look closer, you can see that she still possesses a rudimentary moral code (I submit Oriana into state's evidence). Granted, at the beginning of the game, this is by and large suppressed , but as events progress (and probably not without some persuasion on Shep's part) that little kernel of humanity becomes more evident in her character. Compare the way she executed Wilson in cold blood to her reluctance to kill Niket (even though she accepted the necessity of it and was no less committed to the act). Yes, Shepard does have to intervene to prevent her from doing so, but her hesitation is a marked deviation from strict adherence to an ends-justify-the-means philosophy. If she believed in that completely, she wouldn't be so resentful of the way her father treated her, because after all, he was what made her the way she is, and if the ends justify the means then the way he treated her should be a good thing, but she clearly doesn't feel that way.



She has a flawed moral compass, but as she can show at the end of the game, they are not irrevocable flaws. The Illusive Man outright lacks a moral compass of any kind, flawed or otherwise.



In closing, the Miranda from the beginning of the game would have been physically incapable of performing the following action with anywhere near the degree of sincerity that she did.





That's what does it for me every time. I look at that and think, "How far you've come, Miri."

Long time no see, Shadow. You really should trademark all things beginning with "Dat".

[MatsudaTohu]

Well, if he trademarks it, he can sue all those gangster wannabes who say it all the time

[MatsudaTohu]

Wait. Copywright it.

[MatsudaTohu]

Lol. That's epic.

[MatsudaTohu]

Good thing I've never said "dat," until now, of course.

[Andysilv]

I can't remember if I've said it before Shadow, but I love you sig.

[MatsudaTohu]

Your sig is the sexiest sig I have ever seen.

Thank you. I think it's the best one I've ever done.

Just one question: how'd you get it to be so large?

EDIT: NVM, I figured it out.

That's what...nah, I won't.

You have to use two images together, I believe.

[MatsudaTohu]

THere's something called size when you make a pic.

Tell me more of this 'size'.

[MatsudaTohu]

Speaking of, have you got that email in Mass Effect 2 that says "YOU'RE 2 SMALL!"?

Miranda Salute? How did you get her to do that? In every conversation with her I usually choose Paragon, but I've never gotten this response, or maybe I have and my memory is failing, care to clarify?
