Because "Earth invaded by Aliens and Humans are turned to slaves" was originally done by Vivendi/VALVe.

Ok I was just thinking if Bioware does set this in earth they are sortve stealing from the Half Life storyline.

In half life earth is invaded by an extremely powerful species (the combine) and no matter what the earths combined armies can do they are defeated in 7 hours by this immensely more powerful species and then many are killed and some are combined with alien tech and turned into soldiers for the combine.

That in itself is not a very original plot though, and I'm sure there'll be more to it in ME3.

Thats true as well.

Half Life was just first thing I could think off.

If the guy is an Alliance Marine that joins the squad, I might be fine with it. If that guy is Kai Leng, I'll shoot him in the head.

Ultimately, no jingoism is good. True patriotism is the way to go. There is nothing wrong with loving your country. There is of course something wrong with thinking that your country can do no wrong. I love America, but sh!t needs to change drastically around here. Like most countries around the World, the the wealthy few control all the land, wealth, political power and resources while the majority are perpetually screwed because of ignorance (partially self imposed part malicious deception of the "mainstream" media)

I specify Western Jingoism (or supremacy or Imperialism or even neo-colonialism) because it play a huge part in making sure the "Developing"  world remains in perpetual poverty, Civil War and under the control of corrupt despots. (i.e. Paul Kagame) Part of my Cold War rant  alludes to this.

Hint hint

Kai Leng is asian and much more stealthy.

"Even though I'd like to see Canadian patriotism/nationalism since THAT would be original. Then again there are many Canada haters for some reaosn in US."

Why would someone hate canada we are the land of the free and the home of the brave and the home of bioware and battlestar galactica.

And home of the Space Channel which continued screening Caprica even when SyFy screwed the pooch.

Again, go Canada. Wish I lived there.

Ah, yes. That. I challenge you to find more than three problems not caused by the Cold War.

Kai Leng seems like he would be a useful party member though.

A covert killer who could kick kasumis ass in stealth any day.

Uh, don't forget, everyone in ME has mixed heritage (i.e. Anderson being part native American and part British is one example). What's to say he isn't part Asian despite being predominantly caucasian?

Eating my words now after looking it up. My bad.

[Jzadek72]

I'm pretty sure it's not Kai Leng. Remember, according to Bioware's viral marketing, this guy seems to be MI6, not Cerberus. Unless they're pretty much the same thing in Mass Effect...

New theory coming up, methinks.

That's a challenge that I wouldn't give to my worst enemy. It would be easier to list all the problems and blowback that were a result of the Cold War. 

[Jzadek72]

Could Cerberus basically run Earth's government? Remember that the Alliance isn't the same thing, and it's very possible that TIM managed to get to President Huerta at some point, especially when he was having his brain transferred to a machine. Cerberus could very easily have hijacked this, which will make the return to Earth for those of us who rejected Cerberus unpleasant. This is just random thinking, though, without much basis in evidence.

Really? There's so many, it would be equally impossible.
What really ticks me off it the way that here in the west it is considered a harmless war. Tell that to Somalia, or Afghanistan.

Or:
Congo
Iran
Angola
Columbia
Chile 
Burkina Faso


Ugh! I better stop myself. Basically All of Africa, Central and South America, Southeast and Southwest Asia got screwed by the Cold War.

Tell that to Iran or Iraq who went through the longest war of the 20th century aided by the main sides of the cold war.

 that sucks

Im pretty sure there are websites posted up with a live stream as well as the irc channel set up for ME3.

[Jzadek72]

According to some Youtube users, this will allow us to watch the VGAs outside of the USA. Don't take me up on this though, I could be wrong. Also, if this is illegal, can someone alert me, and I'll take it down.
