Oh, man. I haven't laughed that hard since Jeff wrote his first bit of parody on day two of this thread.

MASS EFFECT: REPULSION
Jeff O'Connor
As you know, Admiral Anderson once held the rank of Spectre for almost twenty years. While he admired the asari gracefully gliding on their mass effect fields in the middle of the President, the most luxurious hotel in the pineapple-shaped Citadel, the immaculate Kahlee Vega smiled.
"As you know, I'm beautiful," Vega commented as she Force Pushed the argumentative Nick with her Level 9001 biotics. It was then that the scientist discovered the existence of the Reapers via telepathy.
Leng came racing around a corner, air-dropped by The Illusive Man himself. Although his legs were in tremendous pain, he managed to backflip off of the Citadel Spire, tallest building in the pear-shaped embassy and home to the Proconsul. "As you know, I'm related to Altair."
"As you know, Gillian is 47," chimed in Anderson (David).

Here's another oddity:He was already wearing a very serviceable set of light armor, and carrying a Kassa Fabrications Razer pistol. But, per his request, a Sokolov shotgun and a Vesper sniper rifle had been left for him. Boxes of ammo and two cleaning kits were available as well.
Boxes of ammo?
Damn, I read that, I don't know how many of us read that but never got that! * Thumbs up*
Major issue with this one.
Surely they have to replace ammo at some point, I've always wondered how the actual "reloading" mechanism works for the guns...they have to reload less often, but you have to replace heat sinks and magazines...there is no way for it to have infinite ammo. Lol.
Actually, I believe the codex for one states that all the shots come from a single block within the weapon and that it is good for at least several thousand shots. And even if if did need "reloaded", it is suspended within some very complicated mass effect fields, that from the description, sound like something you wouldn't want to mess with.

I have a confession to make to all my anti-Deception mates. Hear me out, good folks, please.
Last month (2nd January, this year), I was told, by an acquaintance, that Deception was, and I quote "Shameful ******." I scoffed at him (having never read Deception myself) and we had a short yelling match during which he pointed me at this thread and the Google doc in particular. So fine, I said, I'd look into all the so-called discrepancies and laugh at the nitpicks that all you self absorbed and arrogant twits get up to. As it happened, event in life took all my time ,and I put Deception out of my mind, until today. I saw the thread title once more, and reminded myself that I needed to be reminded about the arrogance of these forum trawlers (i.e, all of you). So I smugly opened the Google doc and started reading.
Two hours have passed since then, and I feel terrible ashamed that I went into it fully intending to take Dietz's side in this argument. I can say nothing more beyond 'I was wrong. Terribly, terribly wrong.'
With my confession complete, I humbly ask that the anti-Deception alliance accept my most humble and sincere apologies for assuming, for even a moment, that any of you were wrong. Three decades of shame will not cleanse me of the crime I just commited, not in light of what I just read.
Thank you for reading, mates. Forgive me.

I do remember that, but what do you do when you run out of stuff to shoot? Replace the gun? Seems like a very impractical solution. I'm sure the mass accelerator for the weapon is independent of the "magazine" enough that you can switch out ammunition blocks.

This is brilliant.
Though, I must say, that Prothean egg thing sounded cool...too bad it's the only thing so far I like about the book. (Page 136...)

I didn't find original Codex stuff I was looking for but ammo capasity is really in thousands:
"Modern infantry weapons are micro-scaled mass accelerators, using mass-reducing fields and magnetic force to propel miniature slugs to lethal speeds. Nearly every gun on the battlefield is laden with features, from targeting auto-assists to projectile shavers that can generate thousands of rounds of ammunition from a small, internal block of metal."
With such ammo capasity I really don't see a problem if "mags" were replaced by specialist (gunnery chief?) by using equipment designed to task between missions.

I though the biotic sparring thing was a nice idea. Unfortunately marred by all that "Level Two-Going-On-Three" nonsense.

Not sure if you know it, but apparently the unhappiness with Deception has made it to the attention of IGDaily where it was put down to people being upset "over inaccuracies, misspellings and typos", but not because the book is a piece of junk. Although they did funnily report that one person who bought the book burnt his copy after reading it because it was 'that bad'.

Same the whole Biotic level thing annoyed me.

Gaming media is in difficult position. Staff probably thinks twice before posting anything too negative and risking getting an interview etc.
