Hi everyone,

just came to see for few minutes to see waht is going on and I saw that:

They failed on that exacution though - one of the biggest reasons; Ipad app - that app should of been on all platforms; not just Ipad - they had several things you could do on it.  Messages from LI after the game ended which hints your alive and in the hospital.  Almost no one saw them though.  PR did what they could through Twitter - but honestly that app could of been used for so much more PR - more hints - it would of been able to somewhat hold back the tide.

Is that true? I mean if Ipad app gives stuff like that, then maybe it just a monstrous scheme from the beginning.

It is true - people were getting messages from their LI after they finished the game - something about hopefully letting them down to come see them - hinting about Shepard in the hospital etc.

but who ever thought just releasing it on an Ipad - that was dumb - it should of been released for android and windows also......

Suddenly instead of 1% of your audence has this app for PR - suddenly 100% has the chance to get it.....that's just PR failing badly there.....

aye.. speaking of Fan fic... I need to  work on my  head canon ending for my Femshepard... thats all bittersweet in the aftermath of the Reaper war... time to make some coffee and do some rearch... 

I just retconned the entire ending and am doing something different.  Several of my followers on dA and ff were pretty ticked that I would change the ending they sooooo much loved.

 

Oh Everything in London I pretty retconned and I'm going hand wave and explain through some flashbacks... 

I did the morning after from the "destroy = survive" scrapped the rest and am fixing to fill in plotholes with stuff that makes sense.  I've got one chapter up.  Some like it and call it gritty.  Others have been wanting more because it actually sounds like a war story.  But I can't do one-shots.  It's already fixing to be at least 15-20 chapters before I get to the conclusion.

Well people I'm off for the night. Remember,

Nerd Rage is a powerful thing as Bioware recently discovered.

Wait till Pax, but keep sharpening your knives

and Word sucks. Libreoffice should replace it world wide

[Phoenix NL]

Is it just me or are there a lot of writers on this forum suddenly? I write in my spare time and it's just fun seeing everyone bouncing ideas around.

AHA - maybe that's what the red thing was - that's where all the good Bioware writers were put and you have to shoot it to destroy their good endings. This results in their talents being exploded through the universe as space magic!!

[Nharia1]

Thank you everyone on your ideas on what the thing is, now I've got to get back to the fic

Morning team! !!
Holding the line! !!

Bioware press conference is on the 6th of April correct?

And you know what just read that witcher 2 fans got a ending they didn't like and they didn't even fight and rise fire like we do. And you know what they got extra content in new edtiotion for free! ! Extra cutsceens 30min and extra 2 hours of gameplay after good and extra 2 hours after evil ending. !!

THIS IS HOW YOU TREAT YOUR FANS BIOWARE.
Its embarrassing the lenghts we had to go to be heard.
And still they took our charity donations cause of some nonsense explanation.
This Is definatelly EA doing now and we know who is the culprit.

Gooood morning BSN!!

My minor was in Astronomy, didn't have the math skills for all the cool stuff though. 

If you want somewhere where you can really see the Milky Way dust stream (Galactic center) I suggest taking a trip out to Palm Springs or Death Valley.

Beautiful. Anyway, sleep now. haha

There's always been a lot of writers, they just come out of the woodwork now more than ever because the antithesis of space magic called to them.

Good morning to you too.

Good news you give at us

[Shadow2G]

I wouldn't be surprised if the sheer story quality of the first 99% of the Mass Effect series has hooked a lot of people who enjoy writing.

^pull that from you FF.net page... if Bioware played that angle and theme in the endngs they would have been  much better.   Hell, that quoute sums up everything in Mass Effect up until that ending of 3.     I'm just  going flat change it to. .. fought Harby, fought the  Catalyst..we won... no space magic.   Shepard through, sheer grit, strenght of will,  the Power of Friendship, and some crazy bass awesome proved the The Catalyst wrong and then with the team  destoryed it.

I should try that... eventually.  I know going about 30 miles out of town and you can see parts of the Milky Way.

But yeah, you should get to sleep.  TTYL.

Weren't these messages confirmed to appear at the start of a new game and meaning "come down to see you" in the brig?

LoL, i write in italian too. 
Done a little fan-story of me3 but i haven't liked it too much, the italian "version" of me series lose something within the "translation" 

[Militarized]

Wow... I just got to the hologram part saying goodbye to your squadmates.

Some of the stuff you say is like, total hope of seeing each other/victory, especially if you feel like you have enough EMS. What a total kick to the balls.

It's so depressing... I'm ready to F4 after Andersons death.

I don't recall bioware "official" explain this. 

If you don't have answers.... you can always think of Space Magic Actions. <_<

Wow, you actually went to my FF?  

It's actually one of my favorite quotes.  I like this one I think it sums up a lot of Shepards:

"The noir hero is a knight in blood caked armor.  He's dirty and does his best to deny the fact that he's a hero the whole time" - Frank Miller.

Most of those quotes fit my Paragade colonist/sole survivor.

The problem with all this, using Ipad apps, twitter and even comics/books is that it leads to huge holes in the actual game.

why the hell is Udina councillor?? - oh , Andersson stepped down in one of the books..

where is Emily wong? oh, killed in twitter

Who the hell is Kai Leng? Oh, appears in some comic/book

Etc, etc. Nothing of this is then actually discussed in the game.

Books and comics and apps should be for widening and deepening a game setting, not cut out important information from a game itself.

Thus ends todays rant of yours truly...

Also again, I'll ask for peoples opinions on something that's semi important to my fic, and that is, what the heck is the thing that Shep shoots when she/he destroys the rEApers and synthetics?

No one knows. It's the "Extra Special Only Place You Can Shoot With A Pistol And Start A Chain Reaction That Destroys The Galaxy" Conduit.

AKA/alias Space Magic color Red. 

I vote to just call it the Primary Plasma Conduit and leave it at that. Everybody knows plasma is cinnamon-colored. Yay!
