Did this earlier in the livestream. Was a lot of fun. In the full version FemShep is sporting a knife that's strapped to the top of her stocking. Was put there by the request of some of the people who were watching. XD

Anyways hope you guys and gals like Kaidan in his tux. :3

I didn't get to watch this time, but the picture is gorgeous!

I have a friend who swears A Song of Fire and Ice series is the best ever written. I have to shake my head at that, as do the rest of my group of friends who talk about books and write.

I agree with your friend. Well, I wouldn't say the best ever, since nobody has read all the books or possibly has the authority to say any one book is the best. It all comes down to personal preference, but some things are undeniable,  those books are goddamn well written. And it doesn't take reading a Deception-like travesty to recognize that.

Note: I didn't read them all, been occupied with other things, so I can't comment on the last events in them. But what I have read has been a hell of a ride.

I'm a huge fan of fantasy fiction, so I enjoy A Song of Ice and Fire, even after A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons, because GRR Martin is still one of the better fantasy writers out there.  I feel like he's floundering, however, when it comes to the main vision he had when starting the series.  I hope he's able to get back on track.

Personally, I enjoy GRIMDARK fantasy novels like Martin's, and other authors, like Joe Abercrombie, but I don't like cheap deaths and forced unhappy endings in video games.  To me, the difference is that I'm passive with novels, but an active participant in games.  I loved the ending of Abercrombie's First Law trilogy, which is dark as heck, but I would very much like a happy ending for my Shepard, who I feel way more connected to than a character like Logen Ninefingers.

Sadly, the Bioware lead writers don't consult me when creating endings.  They obviously should.  

I keep hearing good things about The First Law trilogy, I should probably get those books. That said, I can only concentrate on one thing at a time and my to-read list is huge as it is.

I don't think there will be many cheap deaths in ME3. Well, maybe the kid dying is considered cheap by some, but I liked it because I'm sick of all the invincible children in videogames. It's a war. People die.
And I see what you mean by being more connected to your video game character, but I tend to put myself completely in characters' shoes regardless of the media.
DA2's issues aside, that ending ruined me. I was disgusted and weirded out. But that's my favorite part. I'm terribly disappointed that there's no "reapers win" scenario in ME3. But mostly, I'm looking forward to screwing up without realizing it and then paying for it later. LI dying would make the game for me.

Where'd everyone go? I needz this forum to help get through work lol.




Oh right, playing MP i suppose:blush:

I to am way behind on my to read list, really far behind.  Trying to catch up is going to take forever away from my computer... yeah don't see that happening anytime soon.

Sad that the kid dies but equally, could you imagine Shep running around with a small child in tow? "Commander Shepard, why did that man's head explode?" "Commander Shepard, why is that guy hitting you?" "Commander Shepard, I need the baaathroom!"

I had MP dreams all night, that music kept looping in my head, except Kaidan was on the squad so we all kept running back and reviving him all the time.

I agree! I introduced a friend to Mass Effect and I can't wait to see
her reaction to virmire - she likes both Ash and Kaidan. But she's
taking aaaagess.... She started weeks ago and she's still only on the
third of the first three planets. It only takes me a day or two to play
through the first game now, she's taking so longggg 

She's replaying all the scenes with Kaidan, isn't she?  Tell her to oogle his butt later and get cracking!   

If only! Unfortunately she's a fan of Garrus. I didn't suceed in my Shenko conversion 
I told her to let him down gently.

About ASOIAF.
Pretty much the most depressing yet enticing series of books I've ever read.
So many of my favourites have been killed off but I can't stop reading. Way too invested in the characters now.
Unfortunately GRRM may or may not have killed of my favourite character in the last chapter of ADWD..... and I'm going to have to wait five years to find out...

I'm really excited for ME3. Toughest choices yet.
As much as Virmire distresses me. I love it.

Even if Shepard had grabbed the kid, I can't see him surviving all that shooting. Granted, it's been done before (I'm looking at you, Resident Evil 4), but if anything, Shepard being able to keep the kid safe would've been even more cheesy. Hell, it's a miracle the boy even got to those shuttles.

As for MP, I think Kaidan would have been offended at that.
Are you on the PC?
MP is devouring my soul.

Lol yeah I'm on PC, just trying to resist the temptation to play too much because it's not going to count towards the actual game. It's just so much damn fun! I have a ME2 run to get through before release and at the rate I play it's looking tight as to whether I'll manage to finish that... But I'll prolly end up playing more MP later, playing with friends is such a fun new thing and so much more social!

I also agree about the trailer... and feel the should do the movie completely CGI and keep all the original VAs. The trailer just proves it to me 

On a Different note.... i may have to look into all these authors. I love good scifi/ fanstasy stories.. the last i've read was Jim Butcher's Dresden Files and Codex Alrea... and a bit more on the fluff Anne Bishop's stuff mainly the Black Jewel series... well and of course the Mass Effect Books, except the last one that shall not be named.

Agree totally about the movie, would just be wrong with anyone else in those roles methinks.


I'll have a look at some of this stuff, I am pathetically uninformed when it comes to both those genres. Though I do like Joe Abercrombie's First Law Trilogy etc, just love his sense of humour. Please don't kill me, literature buffs!


Edit: Whoops just noticed other people have already mentioned those books - that'll teach me to skim to the end of the forum! I blame my sleepy morning brain.

But Deception was the best one!

 So even though I'm not in favor of a wedding, because I think it'd just be way too sappy and cheesy and I'm not big on marriage personally... I still d'awwwed at this.

ALSO! If you're like me and prefer to buy prepaid xbox live gold subscriptions, or if you're about to get gold to enjoy multiplayer in ME3, 12 month subscriptions are only $36 on Amazon today (which is like $20 cheaper than getting it directly from microsoft, fyi).

Have you guys seen the extended Take Back Earth trailer? My god, i'm drooling. That second when a human is turned into a husk... This is exactly how i've always imagined Mass Effect movie, i don't want poor actors, i don't want ****ty dialouges, i don't want manly man, boobs and epic explosions to overwhelm such a great story, i want THIS, please dear world, just give me such perfect animation, i'm sure it will earn enough money. Damn march, why can't you gete here sooner

LOL.. it is it's name .... that and the badass stealing cereal and potentially peeing in a vase... and then getting caught by kids ....etc. I got a refund from amazon and didn't even open the box after it arrived. But i'm thrilled they're redoing it....eventually.

Yes! a combo of CGI and motion capture ( if needed) would be the biggest Awesome ever!

[dreamngirl24_7]

I can't use the requote with my cell but vulpesetura THANK YOU for the picture! That's how I would picture them getting married. Shepard is a simple woman and wouldn't do any glitz, glam, or over the top!

Also my heart melts when I see Kaidan look at her that way. He's also doing his half smile. Work is going to go by fast now since im going to be fantasizing about this

[dreamngirl24_7]

Let me also point out how he's holding her. So close like he'll never let her go again!

[VintageUtti]

You guys will appreciate this tweet from Hilary Goldstein @hilgoldstein

Completely confused as to how Kaidan is tops in @wikiagames Top ME love interests. @steimer must have rigged the vote! bit.ly/y7rGNp

I got this set for my kindle with a gift card from Christmas.  I'm nowhere near to finishing the first book, but I do like it.  Yes, there is alot of deception and death, but it seems to always be alot of heart pounding drama and action.  Totally sucked into it.  I'm a HUGE fan of Diana Gabaldon.  Her Outlander series just leaves me feeling like I know the Frasers like my own family.  If you like romance and history with lots of narration explaining tons of topics, making you feel like some kind of expert...then you might like these.

That is a lovely picture! I found some today i loved!!! Thought i would share as well!

I love this one and i hope we get a scene like this in ME3!!


by PhantomFan

This picture is great! I suggest reading the story behind it as well It really explains the picture, pretty much its RIGHT after the Normandy blows up and Kaidan finds out Shepard is gone!


by PickerUpper

I also have some others i love that are more R Rated so im just sending you guys the links to them!

I'll have to check those out as well.  Since reading the ME books (yes, even Deception - really should have listened to everybody but the optimist in me really thought I could find something to like about that book)  I have been looking for more sci-fi/fanasy books.  I've tried a few others and not really been impressed.

BTW did you guys know Drew Karpyshyn has left BW?  It was announced on his personal blog either yesterday or today.  He says he will focus more on writing.  Go Drew - I'll read more of your stuff!  Too bad for BW.

On a complete different side note, for those of you on xbox - do you have any tips for headsets?  My uber expensive ones died last night.  Looks like a wire broke inside them.  Been only hearing through the left side for a couple of days, and could get the right one to work if I wiggled the wire just so.  This is my second "nice" set of headphones and I was super careful to never wrap the cords, but alas these have gone to crap too.  I've had Turtle Beach, Steel Series....not sure if should go back to Turtle Beach....   Any suggestions would be appreciated.
/snip

We just got a cheap xbox headset and mike, only has the one earpiece and its lasted us for like 8 yrs and counting.. never had any issue with it.. including having my husband sit on it numerous times and it getting dropped, tripped on etc..

Sometimes expensive headsets are just a waste of time 

It depends hun, I had the cheap mic and it was so awful (couldn't hear anything, people couldn't hear me etc) that it lasted all of about 2wks before I'd had enough so I bought the wireless Xbox earpiece thingie and again wasn't great, kept losing connection, hard to hear so tbh I rarely bothered with chat.

My bf bought me a Turtle Beach x41 a while ago and I love it, never had any problems with it and I find the sound from the games is brilliant, it's also great that you can adjust the volume of each element seperately, makes finding the correct balance much easier.  There isn't a wire between the box and the pad but you do need to connect a wire from the headset to the pad for chat, but as they have a nice little stand (on the wireless box) they're kept out of the way and hopefully it prevents the loose wire problem.  Honestly I wouldn't have any other headset now but as with everything it seems to be blind luck as to whether or not yours develops a fault but fingers crossed mine has been flawless.

(Edit:  Stupid phone cut off my sentence half-way through so swapped to laptop)

Headsets, we have had several of the headsets w/ one ear piece that come with the xbox.  Had the same issues.  Guess we are hard on the cables.  I think my biggest problem is that I need the better headset because my xbox setup is in an extra room 2ft from where my kiddos sleep at night and I prefer the sound of the game to come through  the headset so it doesn't disturb them.  Kinda like to blare the sound.    

For the Turtle Beach X41 - how often do you replace the batteries if they are the wireless?  My last Steel Series were wired - sucks I know but my previous set was wireless and felt like after every couple days I was replacing the batteries.  Sometimes I wouldn't even know they were bad until someone would be like, "Queenie - ya there?  You haven't said anything in ages?"
