CSI: Criminal Synthetic Investigators
Yeeeeowww!
That's not as stupid as it sounds though. With the Geth as friends (if they hadn't been wiped out by the crucible) you have the perfect answer to rogue AI's.
Humanity has the police to protect and stop the individuals/groups who attack the rest of us.
WIth the Geth and EDI, we have friendly AI's that can teach new ones, for want of a better word, morals and also stop those who wish to destroy/attack others.
Just another reason why the Catalyst is either a) lying orcompletely insane...
I wonder if it went insane like HAL did in 2001? Told to do something it couldn't do... and went psychotic trying to resolve the clash, causing the reapers.
meh, speculating.
--- Oh, the Geth weren't wiped out by the Crucible. After Shepard uses the Crucible and... the endings happen... then Twitter gives the player the game's greatest weapon, the Head Canon. Now fully armed, I fired the Head Canon at the Starboy, wiping him from existence. Then we fought the Reapers and won without having to sacrifice our children to the devil. Planets were in ruins, friends were dead, and the future was uncertain, as was already set up by the entire game, but at least there was hope for a free future.
The best part of the Head Canon is that it carries on, not just into any future Mass Effect games, but into any future BioWare game at all! If Dragon Age 3 comes out, I don't need to waste 60 dollars on it. I can just go into my inventory, fire up the Head Canon, and POOF, there's the final battle as the new main character, named ******, defeats the... Soul Slavers and saves the city of... Ghonoria from beign destroyed in... the **** Storm. Incredible the weapon that BioWare gave us in ME3. Because if I have to make up the ending, I might as well MAKE UP THE WHOLE DAMN GAME.
Ever hear the quote:
It’s not the end that matters, but the journey.
Here’s an age old riddle that says allot about the way individuals live their lives these days. It goes something like this, “Imagine I have an egg and I want to drop this egg three feet without breaking it.
How do I do that?” Here’s a hint: If you want to find the answer don’t try to answer it now, it will come to you in time. As we are all human it is not uncommon to think of life with ends in mind. “I want that new car and I am not going to be satisfied until I get it” is a good example to put things into perspective. It is undeniable that we are constantly caught up in the past or the future but very seldom do we notice the present moment. Perhaps this is why the phrase “stop and smell the roses” became so widely recognized. Think back to when you were young and how you couldn’t wait to grow up. Knowing what you do now you might have thought otherwise. But this proves a point. As life goes on there are allot of things you can’t wait to get. That new car, a wife, a family, a new set of golf clubs, a raise, etc. One by one the time comes when you finally achieve these aspects. But there is one problem. In so doing you create an insatiable hunger for more means to these ends. What you have is never enough because your happiness is always ending. And as a result none of your desires ever produce satisfaction aside from the brief high of your latest accomplishment. In fact, your happiness is always on hold because you are constantly waiting to attain a goal. Now don’t get me wrong, it is perfectly acceptable to have goals in life. Goals are what drives us. But we need to restructure our way of thinking in regards to such. A simple way to insure complete happiness is the following: The important thing isn’t the destination but the journey. Stop waiting for happiness. People have to recognize that it’s right here, right now. If you are only happy when you reach a goal then what about all the time you spend reaching that goal? How to do you feel then? The present moment is the most wonderful and enjoyable moment you can have. Can you look at the sky and realize how beautiful it is? Or the smells, sounds, and landscapes surrounding you? Can you see what you currently have and enjoy it? Take time to look at them fully and you will enjoy every minute!
Got it yet? So for those of you who are still looking for answer to this riddle posed earlier, it’s quite clear. If the egg must fall three feet without a crack, then extend the height of the egg to four feet. When all is said and done, the journey is the reward.
As we look deeply within, we understand our perfect balance. There is no fear of the cycle of birth, life and death. For when you stand in the present moment, you are timeless.
-Rodney Yee
To say that the Journey is more important than the destination is bunk. When I go out for dinner, it's not the car ride, it's the Restaurant that I arrive at. If I arrive at the Garbage Dump, the ride was a waste.
Furthermore, To drop an egg for four feet and have it break is not satisfying the condition of drop an egg for three feet without it breaking. To satisfy that goal, you must show me an unbroken egg. If we can use semantics, I would say that you can never meet that condition; dropping is actually a controlled descent based upon gravity, mass, inertia, and the density of the atmosphere. Could I "drop" an egg that begins and ends its fall completely underwater? Why not?
The present momet is nice; however, I have bills to pay, a house to buy, children to have. If I am content to stand and stare at the sky, albeit beautiful, I will die sooner, and without passing along my genes. And the Goals in Mass Effect 3 are not my own, they were given me by the game. The game gave me a goal, and then made it impossible to actually accomplish that goal. Instead, I can become half reaper, become all reaper, or become the same as the reapers. I daresay that though the game ends, it is never finished.
