I guess Hendel went on a pilgrimage.


To find his inner straight, asari-ogling self.

Good. That means more people will realize how much it sucks in however many hours or days it takes for them to receive their novels.

She MIGHT have been. Patriarch mentions that he thought she was just another dancer when they first met, but it is possible that might have just been a figure of speech to show that he thought she was insignificant when he first met her.


Yeah, if you talk to Aria, you find out she didn't show up quite so empty-handed as Patriarch believes, so if she did dance for a time, it was just a way to get into his organization.


Yeah, both were probably exaggerating different things about the actual events. Aria was playing up her preparedness to make her seem more cunning and the like; while Patriarch played up the fact that she looked so insignificant.

And we can add another biotic power to Gillian's repertoire - she uses Slam on a mugger on Omega.

To be fair, it's an obscure category for it to be a best-seller in.

If its a best seller, that must mean all of 7 people bought the other novels.

What I love about this thread - its about 260 pages (Including the old one) and it manages to keep getting better and better.

Its like a fine wine or a left over chilli pizza.

Cool!  I'll have to listen even MORE closely to her dialogue now.


"So, yes, I had money to start this operation. I also had creditors who thought they were more entitled to it. I let them chase a ghost... or several."

Basically, she got some investors and then ripped them off.

We cannot let this hinder us! We've made to KOTAKU! These are just poor souls who never found our Guideing light! We must remain steadfast in our determination to see this book destroid from memory!

Good one!  I did buy Revelation and Ascension, but I didn't buy them from Amazon, so I think your theory still stands.

Perhaps him and Kai went on a joint vacation. His opinion of the Asari certainly has changed.

This thread needs 100% more Twittering. Use the #StopMEDeception hash tag! If Twitter can help topple the Egyptian government it can help stop this book.

Props to everyone here.

Good to know we have someone to count on in this pitiless void of despair.

It's a double-edged sword, to be sure. :unsure:

I think I'm hitting it for the night. Stay safe, stay strong, my fellow BSNers!

So, who noticed that Kotaku is actually sort of making fun of nerds nitpicking a book, than showing how flawed the book is?

Just sayin.

lol. I like how how Kotaku picked the nerdest ones to highlight.


LOL, I know right?  *Guilty as charged*  Seeing an edit I made in that article has inspired me to get my diet back on track and my arse back in the gym - gotta balance the sheer nerdiness I have.  Still, gotta love it  XD
