You're telling me. We need some serious quality control over there.

And it also looks like someone hates LPPrince.

Sounds like I'll be making good use of my library card here in the future. Or should I not even do that?

I dunno if Didy is getting worked up over something I become very afraid. As far as I can recall Didy has been the only sane, rational, and calm person here in the entire history of BSN. So... yeah. Hmm if this book is as bad as folks say and considering the thing known as "Arrival" I'm not having a lot of confidence for ME3. Is writing for Mass Effect like attacking the Death Star or something, where only a few make it out alive?

Just reading the little Google Document going over the errors is disheartening. A few listed are just being nitpicky, but the others are just wow.

Arrivel is a masterpiece compared to this...

Alright so we had to nuke the doc for now. I copypasta'd the whole list to word right before, so we're good whenever we want to set up a new doc.

Someone else (presumably didy) was saying it was all backed-up too. But yes, wonderful news all around.

Good call on saving it last night. I do hate it when people just start messing things up for laughs. <_<

There are definitely a good number of sane, rational and calm people on here. You just don't see us too often because we're drowned-out by all the rabble.

From what I've allowed myself to see from the leaks, ME3 itself will be fine.

I reverted the changes on the doc, I should have known this might happen.

Arrival was exceptionally good.

There is no comparison.

Now I'm not the religious type but I am praying that the entire leaked novel is nothing more than an elaborate and bizarre publicity stunt.


That's what we were hoping, but a person received the book.
I asked if the phrase "Aria T'Loak read and read, until she was couldn't read anymore" was still that way.
And yes, it was the same in the book. Yes, this "leaked novel" is the actual book.

Alright, so I've made the Doc public to view, as long as you have the link - if you want to edit, though, you'll have to PM me the e-mail you use to sign into Google so I can add you onto the trusted list. I wish this wasn't necessary, but we saw what happened there.

i hope someone from BW talks about this book prior to ME3 release b/c i'm kinda concerned about ME3, i kno it wasn't written by the same guy, but w/ Casey being so hyped about this book, makes me wonder was he actually hyped about this book or did he simply not read it b/c he was too busy making ME3 insanely awesome, any kind of response from BW about this book would really help calm my anxiety about ME3

I liked Arrival from a gameplay perspective. As far as storytelling went, it was patently average, and the characterization was pretty crummy.

Yeah, I would have liked to spend more time getting to know Kenson and the other people on the Project.

Indeed. I think my least favorite moment was the one where I realized absolutely no one but Kenson had anything to say to me. There wasn't even any idle chitchat between the researchers. If I were Shepard i'd have considered getting the heck outta Dodge just on pure creepiness levels alone.

Arrival was ok, kinda knew i was going to be betrayed since, apparently anyone who works near a Reaper artifact is indoctrinated, but i did like the tie-in with ME3

Characterizations aside, Arrival did great things in rectifying shoddy plot elements from the prime game.

for the record guys, I wasn't the one that was screwing with the document. I shut my laptop cover so I could watch the NHL Skills comp hardest shot and when I came back i was 'access denied.' catch me up....what happened?
