Honestly, I'm really not sure if it means anything, but if just seemed interesting that one of IT's biggest supporters in BW friended the guy who runs THE IT website. And it also seemed kind of interesting that since then, he hasn't posted here.
I doubt it means anything. Parabolee has done a lot for IT and Jessica is a big supporter of IT as a fan. Makes sense that she'd friend him. That she works for BW is pretty much happenstance.

Another thing I'm wondering... Balak.
Does his dialogue change depending if you did Arrival or not? I remember him outright blaming Shepard for those events (I did Arrival), does he do the same regardless? How about if you never did Bring Down The Sky? He appears regardless (unless you kill him in Bring Down The Sky?) doesn't he?
If he does blame Shepard without Arrival being completed, this means either:
1/ He's blaming Shepard by proxy, seeing as he/she is the most famous Human in the galaxy;
2/ He's misinformed;
3/ Arrival is canon regardless of if you actually did it or not (possibly an oversight by Bioware, considering other dialogue talks about other people doing it?).
While /1 would seem most likely, it seems /3 would be interesting evidence to support Arrival as being canon for all Shepards (admittedly shakey, as mentioned above). Which means he/she was exposed to Object Rho.
...its probably nothing, but hey. Just idle thinking. That and Balak really should have had a bigger role, he's an interesting character.
I just looked through the text dump of Balak's dialogue. I didn't see Arrival mentioned at all, whether it was done or not. It was just Terra Nova and the Leviathan of Dis.

Has anyone ever considered the possibility that the pattern the galaxy follows as a result of the Reaper's influence is the "master?" Vendetta does mention they the protheans believed the Reapers were "servants of the pattern," and the fact that the "master" isn't observed, but inferred.
Personally I think Vendetta is a Reaper plant to begin with. The most compelling reason is that there is
no way he could know about that pattern. The idea that the Protheans could have researched and found out so much information about past cycles while not finding out about the Reapers is simply ludicrous. But we know that the Protheans were taken totally by surprise when the Reapers invaded. The only logical conclusion to me is that Vendetta is full of crap. Perhaps he was tampered with. Perhaps the original scientist that he made from was slightly indoctrinated. Perhaps Flemeth did. Who the hell knows. What I do know is that his story doesn't add up. The only part of it that we know adds up to anything is his pattern and master nonsense that points to Starbinger. And that only adds up if taken as a literalist POV. No, to hell with Vendetta.
Another point is that I always hear a low, barely noticable ringing in the temple where you find him. I don't need to elaborate on that of course. Also, he doesn't fit with what we know about other Prothean VI's or tech. Admittedly, that's very little, but still... Vigil didn't mistake Shepard for a Prothean despite the cipher so why did Vendetta? The Prothean logs on Eden Prime with Javik were in Prothean language and only Shepard and his cipher could understand them. If Vendetta really believed Shepard to be a Prothean, why was he speaking in a language everyone could understand? If he'd monitored their communications to learn some of the language, as Vigil did on Ilos, then he'd know Shepard isn't Prothean. The whole think reeks and I don't trust Vendetta as far as I can throw Jupiter.

About the videos posted in this thread: It helped alleviate my disappointment considerably, but not entirely. In any case, thanks for the info.
Glad to hear it. We're always happy to hear another disappointed, depressed soul has found solace in IT. Shame the literalists think that we're just accepting a clear falsehood to comfort ourselves. But, fools will be fools.

I think i should clarify what i mean by "autodialog" - it is when conversation just unfolds, with very little or non input from you. It is a very common situation in ME3 - you star a conversation, or a cutscene - chose one of two given options and then watch a long conversation unfold, with out anyway to influence it, until you're given two options again - etc/
The autodialogue that bothered me most was talking to Joker after Thessia. Shepard is a total asswad no matter what you pick.
