I stopped watching at the point where you can't tell the difference between Thane and Feron.

That was a joke, dude. Could you really not pick up on that?

I almost killed myself when I watched ME2 plot analysis and had to debunk it.

Won't bother with this one since I kinda expected that you will say something about Feron and Thane.

You bring your criticism/praise in funny way. I can understand some of your points of view, but I don't agree with all of them.

Not nearly as good as your character and plot videos. But still okay.



Also i'm suprised you didn't bring up the fact that Shepard never questions Tela Vasir's presence in the first place (which was the only "problem" I had with the story of the DLC).

Though I respect your analysis, including the other ones about ME 2, why does everyone think they can pull off reviews/analysis the way Yahtzee or AVGN? They pull it off because they have good, valid points. And that's what your videos are lacking, valid points. Though that is my own opinion, and it would be very boring if everyone agreed with each other, wouldn't it?

Acutelly. The analysis he makes are more like the SW prequel reviews (he also make other reviews) made by "Red letter media" on youtube.

Go wacht em.

Good point.  Shepard should've definitely questioned her more.

It does seem quite out of the blue that she's "in the neighbourhood" during a random attempted murder investigation at an apartment complex.  Though, this is just as reminiscent of Nihlus discovering Saren.  Either way, Shepard's out of the loop, even if re-instated; nor was the council giving them insider info on all their Spectre operations.  Seems they all work independently.

I admit, some of my "points" aren't of any great storytelling value.  Though most are.  Perhaps you'd care to reference?

I'm sorry but if shuttle got too close to the entrance don't you think the broker would have shot it down?

While Shepard questioning Tela Vasir wouldn't have done much, since she would just tell him whatever lie she wanted. It still a minor plothole.

But that's okay, since I can live with minor plotholes (considering it's almost impossible not to have em).

Using the word "gay" as a synonym for "bad" isn't getting old at all. No, really.

I, too, find puffy shirts + Shakespeare to be gay.  Never gets old, though.

1. Why couldn't they detect the shuttle before, when it flew from space, from behind the ship, along side it, and then all the way to the front of the ship?
2. Only service drones detected them, and that was after they dropped off the shuttle.

Pretty good analysis as usual.



ME2 really should have had you following Wilson's lead to the Shadow Broker as an antagonist, and then using his intel to attack the collectors. That would not have removed the overall problem of being way too episodic, but it would have been a big improvement.

Funny, I could have sworn it had something to do with sexual orientation.

You know what? I already know what kind of person I'm talking to. Enjoy your videos, kid.

Well, the shuttle does have cloaking capabilities.

There are 3 or so meanings to gay.  It's one of those cool words, like ass.  So sorry you can only see the homosexuality in it, though. :(

I know what?  I'm so glad I noticed I am an intelligent, literary guru.  I'm going to go enjoy some ******-erotic fanfiction.

yes true but in order drop the shuttle the normandy have to get close enough to even drop the shuttle the shadow broker might seen that; safer to just work your way up from the rear. 
 
 not to mention that it doesn't even look like there was a viable lading zone at the front of the ship,
