My thoughts on the "mass effect being real" are somewhat like this. The world as it stands is boring. There is no adventure. There are no heroes.There really isn't much in the way of excitement.

If tomorrow, we were to find a Mass Relay on Charon and all this new tech... my gods can you imagine?

I think of it this way.... right now our status quo is pretty sucky. at least... something different would be happening. *shrug*

Yup, this... Why does everything have to be so boring? And if we would find Mass Relay, it would mean a certain of things: Protheans would be real, that would make the Citadel real, which means everything else is real, right?  And everyone would probably treat BioWare like their gods, literally.

Why do i feel that scientists are so underrated ?

Yeah, but even if this is the case, the chances of ourselves being around to see it are very very slim.  Tis true that there is one hell of a possibility though.

Yeah.. that's the unfortunate side effect. But none the less, the realm of dreamers and creators is what we like to dabble in. Takes time, technology can only advance so quickly! Practice makes easy and more discovery! 

And damn this WoW! It's distracting me from my ME2 and ME1!  And arts! Darn it!

But Garrus wouldn't be born yet. And if he existed, he would have to run away from millions of horny fans...

I have tried to fave nearly every good mass effect art work on my profile. I will be adding new ones every day if they pop up under the tag 'mass effect'. Here

This is why fanfiction is so wonderful.. when the video game ends, your imagination is still free to roam around the world and get lost in something that isn't reality.

My dream job has always been to study xenobiology but of course, as a species, we've yet to find any extra-terrestial life and the methodw we are using to look for such life resembles the same template as we have seen on eearth (I mean, do you really think all life in the universe is carbon-based or has levo-based DNA?). I think, even if we found it, we wouldn't know we found it. And then I could rant about how much money is spent on everything except the space program (and the money spent there is wasted on the same old projects instead of trying to get to Mars or beyond).

Sometimes it feels like I was born during the wrong decade, you know? I'd be all over life beyond the Charon-relay in a heartbeat. Until then, there's the wonderful world of sci-fi to play make-believe in.

I think many of us were born in the wrong decade. Either too late (Industrial Revolution!)  or too early.  I read fic or watch shows like Farscape where the hero just happens to be in the right place at the right time and gets shunted into another world or somesuch. and ... i just . wish that it was me.   I would give anything for my life to be more exciting. to not be the manager of a coffee shop, but to be a soldier on a spacevessel. Even just a private. i mean. really. 

My dream job has always been to be a soldier. I want to go to new and exciting (or even old and exciting) places and ... well..  i would say be badass, but that is not it. and ...  defend what i believe in. 
Firefly style. Good gods, if only it were real. There's a line from Firefly. something about having a ship meaning freedom. and that... just yes. 

Also, then there would be sexy aliens. and tht would be awesome too. 

damn. i feel myself getting all maudlin. 

[dannybates]

@obs Yeah i want to be a soldier too but all of these wars going on at the moment are just so lame and idiotic.

[RunicDragons]

 I know what you all mean, I have always wanted to be a waterboy in the war! HELL YEAH! 

Soldier: *in the middle of the war battle*: "Damn, I have been shot in the leg and I am damn thirsty, WATERBOY?!"

*Waterboy comes, gives him some water and saves the day*

I just want to play among the stars.. and hopefully find some completely awesome aliens to hang out with and learn from. I'm not too fussed about soldiering but adventuring sounds fun. Who wouldn't want to get up to some mischief with someone as badass as Garrus at their side?

I'd probably just get stuck in some Prothean ruins until Shepard and co. came to my rescue though, with my luck.

Haha  That would be so funny to see that. All they need to do is remake 'The Waterboy' and set it in a war 

Might be giving a free game away later on today so stay tuned 

[Voice of Kosh]

If we made/make contact with an alien race the governments of the world wouldn't let us know. So it could even be happening now. If we did know people would probably hold rallys and commit hate crimes. People are stupid.

And even in this day and age same sex relationships are still getting stick for deviating from the 'norm', so imaging the stick you'd get for cross species relationships...  Again, people are stupid.

For now, best kept in computer games. When you're Commander Shepard you can make a difference. In the real world you probably couldn't.

[Obsydian]

very true, Kosh. very true. but at least there'd be turians.

But if you could never know about them would there even be a point?

On a more positive note, you know that translators have been invented? You speak into it normally and then your voice comes out of it in perfect Chinese. (Can't remember which language exactly, probably multiple options)

Had a great meeting to plan some relationship details in #ME3 . Much of your feedback was discussed and will be incorporated.

[Leonia]

So do you guys think we'll see Garrus in any trailers for ME3? I don't think he got any coverage with ME2 because of his secret identity. Can't wait to see what comes out of E3..

Ouch. As someone who's pretty close to the massive exoplanet-searching efforts made by a large part of the astronomical community today, I assure you that we're making steady progress towards finding ETs. But yeah, more funding couldn't hurt.

As for carbon and levo based... you've got to start from somewhere. What else could you possibly look for? But don't worry; most scientists today are keenly aware of the past anthropocentric mistakes. If we find a planet that can sustain life as we know it, it will be great, but nobody would take that as a serious indication that there aren't other forms of life on other kinds of planets.

And I agree with the general sentiment... I'd give anything to live to see aliens touchdown on Earth.

This time he was the first ME2's returning squadmate confirmed. I'd totally imagine he can appear in a trailer.

Definitely, since Garrus was supposed to be a surprise in Mass Effect 2. But now he is confirmed for ME3. And he is the most popular character in Mass Effect so yeah. We'll see him, probably. 

[Obsydian]

 I read that "definitely" in Garrus's voice. 
I need help. 

Or.... MOAR TURIANS!

I stand corrected! Your job sound amazingly awesome.

@Obsy: So many things coming to mind.. "Is that a gun or are you just happy to see me?" "I could stand to look down the barrel of your gun" "Get ready to pop the heat sink" etc.

Depends on the type of aliens.  The kind from Independance Day can stay far away.  Vulcans (and turians) would be better.
