You know what'd be great? One shot of Garrus' reaction to Lonely Islands "I just had Sex", and the rest of their work.

For teh lulz of course.

I'm watching the History 2 channel and they are talking about what type of life forms could live on different types of planets and they just mentioned a planet with strong uv rays due to a large sun and they mentioned how the the species on that planet would developed hard plates like a turtle or crab and I was think Omg! Turians!

OMG TURIANS indeed.  Also, the History channel does science now?  I thought it was all Hitler all the time by this point.  Hitler and UFOs

Yeah but History 2 channel still shows more academic stuff than the original History channel. Doesn't matter what learning channel I watch though, they all manage to scare me ****less with some doomsday crap, even if that's not their intent. Just talked about a possible red sun at the very edge of our Solar System that could be the reason for our mass extinctions every 26 billion years.

I wonder if these scientist play Mass Effect and yell at the screen for not being scientifically possible or accurate.

I've done a decent amount of science post-college (though I'm transitioning to veterinary medicine).  Usually I'm willing to cut sci-fi quite a lot of slack, but some of the more egregious moments of science fail in ME3 did make me go WTF at my screen.  Synthesis was the worst of it.

Well scientist or not (I'm a Liberal Arts major) I think Synthesis made a lot of people go WTF at the screen, myself included. I'm never going to pick it.

After MEHEM fixed my game I did slip into the Synthesis: A New Ascension thread and read the massive OP.  Here's the thing: I like that version of Synthesis.   It's still science fail, but at least philosophically interesting science fail. The problem is that all that thought and extrapolation was put into it by the fans.  If there'd been even half that degree of thought put into in-game Synthesis by BioWare, I would've liked it a lot better.  

Synthesis is a pretty common sci-fi theme.  It was just implemented in an astonishingly inept way for ME3.

Well as a PS3 player I'm never going to have MEHEM so Sythesis will never be picked. As much as I love AIs and I'm all about unity and cooroperation the idea of machine and organics merging makes me uncomfortable. To me it's just not natural, besides I prefer the diversity theme Mass Effect gave over the 'besties forever with merging peace' theme they tried to shove down our throats.

How is Synthesis different on MEHEM?

Also, did anyone buy that Garrus screen-print from the Bioware shop?

I thought about it.  Then ME3 happened.

I'm starting to consider it again 

I was thinking about since it was screenprinted (brings me back to screenprinting for myself during higshool). But then I wouldn't know where to put it...or hang it up and explain to house guests what that picture is about. So I'm still debating.

You know, given how big Garrus's armor gets from ME1 to ME3, I wouldn't be surprised if this eventually happened.

His armor isn't the only thing that gets bigger 

OK, I'll stop now.

 

lol

But you do have a point, especially in this comic: *cough* panel 2 *cough*

 

...I feel dirty whenever I look/read that. And don't get me started about playing the game and Garrus is just standing there...boredom does strange things sometimes.

I love how catty Garrus, Tali, Wrex, and the gang are to each other in the first game. They've definitely come a long way. Shepard too seeing how her dialogue options are to be a dick or incredibly naive/insensitive.

Anyone else get a little freaked about by the Consort's touchiness? I know it's her job but really? A hug that had no business in that particular conversation. My poor Earthborn Shepard with intimacy issues was close to clocking her.

My Earthborn Shepard was not amused, either. And being a vanguard with little tolerance, "not amused" usually translates to "ugly smearing on walls, floor and ceiling"... I suppose she behaved for Anderson's sake. Starting a major riot directly after becoming a Spectre would probably have upset him.

MEHEM doesn't change Synthesis, it basically forces a "super high EMS" new destroy ending onto the game. Regarding the game mechanic, the memorial sequence is Synthesis, without that creepy green shader effect. What's changed are the names on the wall and, of course, the actors. Why, was there a rumor or a new version that this was changed?

I always imagine Wrex to be laughing at her embarrassment with her uncomfortableness and Garrus to not understand. Also the Consort had a really weird hot/cold thing going on. One minute she's all touchy feely the next she's demanding my Shepard leave her quarters.

I don't have MEHEM and was just curious to all it entails. Sable mentioned she was able to tolerate Synthesis better because of it and I wondered if it added anything to it.

[EnvyTB075]

Oh. My. ****ing. God.

Just picked up ME2 for PC today, grabbed the hi-res texture pack....goddamn....just....goddamn.....Garrus' features benefit SOOO MUCH from the higher res.

[Deviant Ingredient]

Hey I just finished ME1 last night and was wondering if there are anymore conversations with Garrus after he thanks Shepard? I'm pretty sure a few conversations were skipped over like the talk with the Council after Feros.

I don't remember any, aside from a comment when Shepard takes control of the Normandy perhaps. But it has been quite some time since I played ME - no guarantee that it's correct.

Hm, is there anyway to be paragon with him but get him to try and join the spectres?

Also so far I'm loving the extra dialogue and stuff from importing ME1 to 2. Oh how much I have missed.

None that I am aware of. My canon Shepard is an idealistic paragon, so she didn't try to stir Garrus into that direction, and even my other Shepards usually had their own reasons to give him the "be responsible, do the right thing, not the fast" speeches.

Regarding ME imports: Yeah, I can imagine that My personal opinion on the default imports is that they are screwed up on purpose to make all players buy the whole triology. Especially if you tend to play light-side jedi-knight type (or simply naive) paragons, the decisions you 'made' in ME are downright insulting. Wasn't it basically "Wrex dead, Rachni extinct, Council left to die"?
Given all three games and a mix of paragon and high-morality options, you can basically turn your whole gaming experience in a giant ball of cotton candy - and the ME universe has no way of stopping you . Peace everywhere, everybody loves Shepard... And then London comes and the universe finally kicks you where it hurts.

Well I had the interactice comic so I could choose those options but yeah, the extra missions from ME1 really add to ME2. I'm already laughing at the Conrad Verner stuff.

Poor Garrus, my Shepard was all paragon in ME1 but in to ME2 she's pushing people out windows and shooting Conrad in the foot. Dying made her a bit unstable, definitely a hardcore paragade.

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to all Garrus Lovers! Cheers!

Merry Christmas to all around here.

And, to get back to topic: Who knows, perhaps the next year will bring some more ME3 DLC with a certain Turian, more female Turians or generally whatever we might still wish for Mass Effect in general.

Happy Holidays! I was wondering why it got so quiet in here but I figured it had to do with it being a busy season.
