Quick question.
Have we, as of now, seen a Turian with black facial markings?

That's not Garrus, love; that's the donut-loving ERCS guard from Noveria.

Hello, Calibrations. Oh, how I've missed you.
Just popping in the let interested parties know that MitisVenatrix and I are NOT dead, as has been perpetuated in popular rumor. We are simply on a very long medical leave. (Unsure of when it will be done, honestly, but figured since we were 3 months behind schedule on returning to our writing on FFnet, some people might like an update.)
I for one am really looking forward to the next update, your fanfics are the best I've readthanks for explaining the situation and all the best to the two of you.

Aw, Pan! You're too sweet. <3 You got a different username on FFnet, or am I just too high off of the pain meds to recognize you atm?
You've now reminded me that I have to go favorite them all. I'm not too good with FF.net but I wanna make sure you guys know that your work is appreciated.

Okay, this is wht I basicaly think about ME becoming a movie. So Legendary pictures has definitely put out some stellar stuff in recent years, so that’s optomistic. Mark Protosevich is being tapped for the script, which is a positive thing.
However, I’m skeptical. Not because video game movies rarely turn out well – that trend has been slowly dying; Max Payne was at least watchable, and Prince of Persia looks fantastic so far.
I’m skeptical because I’m not sure there’s any real reason for this movie to exist.
Mass Effect is a video game, in every sense of the word. The reason its story and characters are so compelling is because it is a video game – you, the player, have a personal stake in everything that happens in the game, and your choices and actions drive the drama forward.
A movie is opposite of that. It’s passive. You don’t get to interact and you don’t have a personal investment in anything that happens on screen.It’s just there. Don’t get me wrong, I love movies, but Mass Effect is not a movie franchise.
It’s doomed if it tries to retell the same story the game trilogy tells. Shepard is so personal to each individual player – even the captain’s gender is different for different players – that any portrayal of him would instantly alienate 90 percent of the fanbase, because he wouldn’t be the Shepard they know and love.
There’s a chance it could stand on its own, however, if it explores new territory within the universe. And there’s plenty of universe to explore. So I dunno if this is confirmed but if the movie will tell about the events of The First Contact War, that would be a fascinating story. If the film does that, it can expand on the universe and tell a different kind of story without stepping onto the games’ toes.
The cynic in me suspects this won’t happen, though, because the cynic in me also suspects this is mostly about money. If it is mostly about money, than the producers aren’t going to want to take risks, and exploring new territory is always risky, especially with a genre of film that typically doesn’t do too well in the box office.
In addition to all that, a Mass Effect movie would have to be Oscar-nominee material to stand up to the incredible experience provided by the games. It’s possible, I suppose, but the cynic suggests it’s about as likely as a Jack Frost building a summer home in the ninth circle of hell.I hope I’m wrong. I really do.
Done well, this could be a great movie. But due to the nature of the property and the high level of quality the games have, the margin for error is quite small.

I've got a random one for you, Black, if you're up for it: Garrus and FemShep adopt a batarian. GO!

Also posted this in the 'turian ladies' topic...
From Patrick Weekes' LJ concerning female aliens, specifically in response to: "I also hope the message of "more female aliens" didn't get lost in all the comments as well" ...
"It most definitely didn't, but that's not an issue I can address personally, since it's not exclusively a writing issue. Sorry, all I can say without spoilers is that it's been heard."
I choose to take that as good news. ::gets hopes up!::

Turians don't even have lips! What's the point of accentuating a lipless beak? If headbumps are turian kisses, turian women should have forehead-accentuating make-up. ::snort:: xD
