So... Barefoot Chardonay, very large chinese dinner and Star Trek: TNG. I was freaking starving after not having eaten since day before yesterday. Lol.


You deserve it, troop. What episode? I'm watching B5, myself.

Season 5, Episode 14: Conundrum. The episode where the full crew of the Enterprise loses their memories. Lol. Commander Riker is such a pimp <.<

Hey, has anyone else played "Dungeon Siege III? I just started yesterday and I'm stuck on the boss in the caves. A witch named... Uhm... Something or other. I can't even beat her on Casual difficulty (easy mode). She spawns too many adds and I am playing the gunslinger character.

Oh, there is no greater Captain and Second in Command than Captain Picard and Commander Riker. Well, aside from Captain Anderson and Commander Shepard. That's the only team that matches or is possibly better.

I can't believe it was less than 2 days ago that this idea was getting floated around by Unique and the others.

I was thinking "Man, it will be awesome when we raise $1,000." Wild case scenario? $10,000.

In less than 2 days its up to $41,000.

Paragon smash indeed!

Who else was hoping for some TNG style crew interaction when they saw the poker table on the Normandy?

When I get out of Basic, I plan on getting either an N7 tattoo or an SR2 tattoo on the back of my right shoulder. Since I went to processing already, I'm not allowed to get a tattoo until after Basic.

Why won't people understand that Shepard was rebuilt with The Illusive Man's reaper tech that he was infected with while on a recon mission on Shanxi in the Turian War? Hence the indoctrination, hence why the kid was a figment of Shepard's indoctrinated mind, hence the choices at the end.

Its like "OMG this is so NOT the ending I WANTED".... well you never get what you want most of the time. And the ending works well with the whole Mass Effect story, obviously most players haven't read all the background stories etc.


The only pertinent knowledge for understanding the ending must be contained within the main narrative for the trilogy to be considered a properly constructed story. In this case even the information within the codex and side quests should be considered extra flavour due to the ability to skip them, because otherwise it means there will be players who may arrive at the end without all the necessary facts to comprehend it. If that were the case (I think not) then BioWare have failed at a basic storytelling principal. Even if the explanation were contained in outside material that is no excuse for an ending that does not stay in keeping with the story arc's internal logic.

And I've mostly only seen claims like "OMG this is so NOT the ending I WANTED" in counter arguments like yours. The majority of complainants are dissatisfied by the fact the ending goes aganst many core thematic elements of the series and makes little sense in itself, not because they didn't get exactly what they wanted. If the same events unfolded but were told in a way that was actually comprehensible, with Shepard acting consistently, then most of us wouldn't be here.

right? I'd figured best case we'd get 10k at the end of everything.

now it looks like 50k might be an achivable goal.

Hey, just a heads up, if anyone here is contacted via PM or otherwise with questions regarding the drive and/or the petition, if you do not feel comfortable answering please feel free to ask them to PM me directly.


Why? Who has been asking?


It's all good :) but thank you. I did have one person send me some questions about the charity via PM and it occurred to me they could have sent them to anyone here, so I just wanted to make sure everyone knows it's fine to answer if you like but if not I am happy for them to be directed my way.

PS Good luck in basic, and thank you for enlisting :)

I've been in DEP since October =) I go to Basic on June 12, and after that I will go to a base. Also, to Unique, thank you. I am very excited about it. Though, admittedly nervous about Basic.

This weekend, N7 tattoo, with "Hold the Line" beneath it.

Even though I'm so mightily bleeped at Bio, my crew and my galaxy totally earned my respect.
Yeah thats right I said it.

Was just watching "The Deconstruction of Falling Stars" earlier... while not the last ep of the series, I always felt like that ep was a little thank you from JMS to the fans.

Imagine that - creator caring about the folks who are taking the journey with him.
