This song is ******-awful (coming from a fan of the artist), but surprisingly fitting.


"Artist" for Eminem is a little generous if you ask me, but then again, the last time I actually listened to him was "The Real Slim Shady" which was a fun song.

That would explain it.

On-topic: Thinking back to the "things Shepard does that would annoy Miranda", listening to Eminem's music would certainly be one of them.

Here's something that would make Miri happy: Roses, chocolates, and the Adagio Movement of Nielsen's 5th playing on the Stereo.

Even though it's the theme song to Chuck Short Skirt/Long Jacket by Cake'slyrics fit Miranda pretty well

 And posted.

Very beautiful, jtav. Miranda and Samantha are very well written, and I absolutely love the plot - and that the end feels like a beginning. I would like more stories set in that continuity, preferably something with a focus on that secret war going on. 
(Being unable to log in to ffn atm, take this as my review for the moment).

Oh, don't worry. She lived. But Shepard won't. Poor guy. Thought it occurs me that it only takes a bit more effort for me to imagine him reconstituting and then finding her as opposed to life after Destroy.

Especially after that image with Keiji, I'd say. Does that come across as a hint to anyone else, or is it just me?

There are things I hold dearer than that promise. Into the light he goes. But this is the sort of death that I can work around very easily, the sort that almost never sticks. So he'll get his shiny new galaxy and the girl.

I recall when the Synthesis ending (called "merge" then) was discussed in the old spoiler group about the leaked script, someone said "How can you not imagine Shepard coming back after that". She even brought an example from another story, though I forgot what it was.

While I really do like Miranda, she is the perfect LI for Shepard. Yes, I can't see myself having him romance anyone else.

But Luis, you are a zealot.


I dunno about anyone else, but every time I try to romance somebody else, I back off at the alst second.

I don't know what the hell it is, but I just can't do it. Like some subconscious block.

:lol:
Don't I know that! I wish I could play *one* ME3 game where I end up with Ashley, but it doesn't work. I just can't not romance Miranda in ME2 with a maleShep, and I can't not confirm her romance in ME3. Maybe I'll get around to a "for science" run with confirm-and-cheat one day, but so far none of my maleSheps ever managed to end up with anyone else  but Miranda.

I'm a guy, and I don't like that.
I can think of a number of other guys who don't like that.

If guys hate it to why did they do that?

For the subgroup of guys who like it. I'm sure they exist, but as usual the marketing people overestimate the number.

How do you guys think of Miranda being in her mid-30's at the time of the games. personally I see her as a more of a 28-32 age range, same as Shepard. I have no problem with her being older than Shepard, but for some reason Miranda seems younger than she is. I've kind of headcanoned it as her being physically 2/3's her chronological age. thus, chronologically she's 36, but physically she's 24, although this makes it hard to explain her age when younger. Or her genes could've been enhanced to keep her body "younger" for a longer amount of time.

I've made an apparent age calculation some time ago. If you start aging at 20, and Miranda ages at 2/3 of the usual speed, then she'll look 30 when she's really 35. Doesn't really matter for me though. Miranda is who she is and looks as she looks. Age doesn't matter.

Wait, doesn't that make Miranda a year older than Shepard?

And, for somereason, I was thinking Miranda was in her mid to late 20s. Lol Probably not the worst. Jack and Tali are around their early 20s.

Agreed.
I can't take the guy who had the idea of the ass-shots seriously: "Ok, for Miranda let's make at least one convenient camera angle in every scene she is present, her fans will love it!".
It's really detrimental to Miranda's image but all the more to the devs who had the idea, it's not Miranda's character who is at fault for this afterall.
Although there's one shot I found rather cleverly used, the one during the first paragon romance dialogue when she says "And perhaps I wouldn't mind if you admired my body".

My Shepard's a Renegade, not a douchebag. He doesn't listen to hip-hop ****, he listens to what pleases him, when it pleases him. As a badass should be.

He's actually a paragade, but he has a rather negative demeanor a lot. 

If Miranda had to have a pop-theme song it would be Short Skirt/Long Jacket. On that train of thought.....

Has anyone here (who is a chuck fan) ever drawn a story comparison between Chuck and Mass Effect. I did. I know it makes false and arrogant assumptions, but it starts with Shepard recieving the Prothean Vision back on Eden Prime.

Or the one describing her assets in the beginning. Oops I made a funny. Completely unintentional. =]

But in all seriousness, that scene where she's talking about her perfected genes has a pan shot of her entire backside that is very fitting.

April 11: Shepard is born.

From the Wiki, of course.

He sounds more like a renegon.

I believe a number of people already have, yes.

What I find annoying about the ass shots is that I get the impression Miranda was created to be made fun of, not to be taken seriously as a character. They may have made her beautiful for her fans, but the ass shots sure helped her detractors more.

A rather late thank you for the nice feedback from yesterday! ^_^


Ali, you meant this?...


I never posted it because there is no concept or real effort behind it. Just a random pose with a random background^^


Would like to know what the others think about it...

That's the way I look at it. And I believe Yvonne Strahovski was about 27-28 when she did the role.

Some of those pictures have reminded me of this. :)
