If you look at TIM and renShep's eyes you can see that they have several illuminated "pupils."

I think that those pupils are additional receptors of optical input allowing TIM and Shep to EM wavelengths outside the normal human range of vision. (Thane had something similar done to himself, if I recall)

Of course parShep has the same thing, they're just disguised with cosmetic surgery.

Yep.

Hm. I wonder how much being a colonist affected my Shepard's outlook? Earth to her is like Sweden to me: most of my ancestors came from it, but I don't feel particularly connected to it.

For my colonist, her parents were from Earth and she visited Earth for holidays and school breaks. She was then living there after the raid at 16 with her grandparents, so she is very connected to Earth along with Mindoir. In fact, she might be more connected now with her parents' birthplace than her own now that her remaining family and friends are all on Earth. What she had on Mindoir is now just memories of a place that no longer exists.

After the raid what do you see happened to your Shepard? Did her/his parents not ever go back to Earth? Were they immigrants who never went back to their country? I could see that happening.

I take the "Shepard has maintined ties to the colony" line from ME2 as something of a understatement.

I've always pictured the Mindoir colonists as a rather close-knit bunch, especially the first-wave colonists like the Shepards.  I like to imagine that Shepard was taken in by another colonist family, namely Shepard's God-parents, Leonard and Marissa Pritchard, who themselves had lost their children in 'The Raid.'  After Shepard left Mindoir to enter the military, the Pritchards went on to become major leaders in on Mindoir.  They were both instrumental in the revising of the Colonial Constitution, and Mr. Pritchard is currently serving as the Colonial President of Mindoir. 

In terms of Mindoir recovering from the batarian attack, one person stands out above all others:  Yilia T'Ros, an asari shipping magnate turned philanthropist born on Thessia but late of Illium.  Her personal charity "Palan'layari" based on Illium, was one of the very first to provide aid to the devastated colony, even before many human ones.  Were it not for Ms. T'Ros many colonist families, including the Pritchards (Shepard in tow) would likely have been forced to return to Earth.

I imagine that being a colonist generally inclines a person to see space with a sense of wonder and the boundless optimism of the frontier spirit.  While being a Mindoir colonist gives one a very real understanding of how dangerous space and aliens can be.  A perspective not disimilar to TIM's I understand (Phew, almost got off topic there!).

I wish I could remove Shepard's scars and keep the glowing red eyes so they could look like TIM's.

You could just mod the game ya know?

You guys must wish you could have a beer w/ Tim.

Nah, I don't think he'd appreciate the hour or so spent with me hunched over the toilet afterward. >.>
I'm allergic to alcohol, y'see.
Wouldn't mind just sitting around talking to him, though. (One of my first jobs was as an investigative journalist; it'd be awesome if I could get him to agree to an interview. I wouldn't even make any disingenouous assertions. Promise.)

People, please, if you hang with the Man, you drink. No exceptions.

It's not for you, it's for the benefit of all humanity. Nastrovia!

I'd pay tribute to TIM with a bottle of Jim Beam or a carton of Marlboro.

I defy anyone to find a more appropriate TIM-related song than this one. I really could swear that if it was TIM singing it, it'd be specifically directed at this thread.

Doesn't match TIM at all.

Then maybe you should read/listen to the lyrics.

For some reason I've always pictured TIM as a Sinatra fan...

"Life's a beautiful thing, as long as I hold the string."

Well I see it now, but the music should be something else.

Don't mind Xil, she can hardly swallow her fears and pain.

Well, here you can have a more ME2/Evolution-era version. With Me is better for ME3.
It works especially well with the idea of TIM having the best and worst traits of humanity.

That's better, and for some reason I really liked that song back in the day. Don't tell me you've played the game it's from, though.

[Xilizhra]

I have, in fact. I rather liked it when I was younger.

[Kaiser Shepard]

But it didn't make any sense; why would the ultimate lifeform use weapons? ;p

Can't believe I have hardly played any Sonic beyond Adventure 2, except Secret Rings and the Rushes. Well, except for some small parts and the demos, none of which I liked, sadly enough.

[Xilizhra]

Because being the Ultimate Lifeform apparently didn't include ranged attacks?

[Kaiser Shepard]

*facepalm*

Oh well, back to business, shall we?

[Sebby]

On second thought I'd force myself to drink a six pack if it meant having the honor of chatting with the boss himself.

The sacrifices we'd make.

I'm sure TIM would not require such drastic things of his followers. He values his people.

I'm not so sure. He wants to kill Shep (I know Shepard isn't a follower, but s/he was a valuable asset) and the Invasion preview with this should kinda give an indication whether he'd be the type to sacrifice them. (apologies if you were being sarcastic)

One thing that's pretty odd is how the devs shove Miranda's ass all over the screen but Sheploo can't comment on it.
