 If you want to hold onto a bit of your sanity, don't start reading through Jungian interpretations of shadows in dreams until after the extended cut hits.  If you think you might be guilty of confirmation bias now while operating under the veil of the theory, try processing this:

"It is a frightening thought that man also has a shadow side to him, consisting not just of little weaknesses- and foibles, but of a positively demonic dynamism. The individual seldom knows anything of this; to him, as an individual, it is incredible that he should ever in any circumstances go beyond himself. But let these harmless creatures form a mass, and there emerges a raging monster; and each individual is only one tiny cell in the monster's body, so that for better or worse he must accompany it on its bloody rampages and even assist it to the utmost. Having a dark suspicion of these grim possibilities, man turns a blind eye to the shadow-side of human nature. Blindly he strives against the salutary dogma of original sin, which is yet so prodigiously true. Yes, he even hesitates to admit the conflict of which he is so painfully aware."

I mostly did so since I haven't done any real reading on Jung since college, and this whole dream interpretation component of the theory sparked my general curiosity.  If you want to screw with you mind a little more, here are some further excerpts: (LINK)

Now I have the image of a tapdancing cuttlefish dramatically belting out "I know you feel this" in my head. (sigh)

Yeah, and one of Sur'Kesh.  Earth is just a matter of time.  Also, who else is looking forward to the Vorcha?  I'll bet you Mark Meer is going to do their voices.  You know, because he's awesome and does more than one voice, unlike SOMEONE who shall remain unnamed. ;)

Edit: I'm not trying to restart the BroShep vs. FemShep discussion again, BTW.  I'm just making my own little bad joke.  Also, I do intend to start a FemShep playthrough pretty soon.  I think I might play an Adept.

Hey guys, just got back from Gamestop. I talked to one of the emplyees about the EC DLC and when it might be released. He informed me that he was told that Bioware's looking at a mid July to late August relase and that they've only recoreded half of the dialogue so far. Just thought I'd mention that.


  GameStop, FTW!


*snip*


That's, uh, that's a pretty big grain of salt. :?


There's alot of potential for that to be bull****.


Why Gamestop would know when free DLC that they are in no way connected to is coming out is highly questionable.


He's probably regurgitating something he read on the web, possibly even BSN, lol

I'm looking forward to the Vorcha and the this "Biotic Lash" ability they're talking about for the Ex-Cerberus. Good thing they're giving it for free for anyone with the Online Pass, help hold us over until something Single Player comes out.

In the destroy ending I'm trying to tell if the gun sounds change as well. when it gose for a close up on Shepard face the gun sounds a bit different but not sure if it's my mind playing tricks on me cause I want it to change.:pinched:

Sounds of these scenes are actually prerecorded.
There are 3 files with 2 shots each with different distortions.


what tools do I need to look at mass effect 3 files?

http://svn.gib.me/builds/masseffect3/
And maybe umodel for models/textures


ah thanks:happy: went to put it with my other mass effect stuff and found I had an older version there:huh:

Wait, a new equipment slot?  Out of everything I've heard, this might be the most intreguing.  Not the most awesome, by any means, but the most intreguing.  I wonder what more there is to add to the available equipment.

I actually kinda felt bad that we failed the last weekend challenge, I'll be sure to participate more in the future.

I wonder if they set us up to fail.  It would fit the theme of multiplayer tying into the singleplayer story.

Admiral Hackett: I was not in favour of your diversion to sanctuary.....

Why?, Shepard was on the trail of TIM to get back a vital piece of the crucible, why would Hackett not be in favour of this?, unless Hackett has already been there and was one of the indoctrinated ones that was shipped back to TIM, I did notice the insignia on the building is Alliance Naval, it also might explain why we had not heard from Hackett at the beginning of the game, and just maybe the reason for the weak signal when he first contacted Shepard, sanctuary was actively blocking signals.

Me too, feels like I let the whole community/war effort down. But we can make up for it this weekend. Promote 50,000 Characters. For Shepard!

Sanctuary wasn't a guranteed place they'd find Cerberus or even Kai Leng, just the only place with any activity in the system Traynor managed to track him too. And she didn't really track him directly there, only to the system that his shuttle disappeared in. So it was a gamble that might not have paid off, so it's understandable if Hackett wouldn't approve but this is Shepard he's talking to so he's not about to order them not to if he/she really thinks it's worth going to.

I don't know about that, I don't even know what the last challenge consisted of but it had to be within the realm of possiblity. They ARE the only ones with solid numbers of how many people are actually playing MP though, so you could be right.

So are the banshees really going to show up in non reaper games?

Hmm, sounds fairly easy... I had like 3 lvl 20 characters last time I played, but it's been a few weeks since I touched it.

I have one prepared, and I have an Adept at level 19 and an Infiltrator and level 18.  My only problem is that I will not be able to play for part of Friday, all of Saturday, and part of Sunday.  So, all I can say about getting those two leveled up is:

That still does not explain why Hackett was not in favor when there are no other leads.

There is also an individual goal of promoting three characters.  I've got five that are all ready to be promoted, so I'm getting me a commendation pack this week!

Honestly, I think this challenge was intentionally set to be trivially easy.  They need less than 20,000 players to promote 3 characters - I bet we get 5-10 times that many.

Because they're in the middle of a war, no time for "maybes" or "what ifs" unless it's Shepard I guess. If he really didn't want you to go there, there would be dialogue of him telling you so before  you left not after.

Not easy for everyone :). And remember not to promote those characters until the challenge starts....I think 5pm PST tomorrow night? Might want to double check.
