I want that too, but I also want to save Dosenbier and Green Banana, my favorite Geth buddies. They've been fighting for almost a year now against Reaper troops and in the end they got grilled
That's not fair

+1 for the name. I guess here is a photo of that platform?

More like this or that one

What's this talk about promos? Has anything happened?

No nothing new. We're just discussing the wallpaper of Femshep smiling on Earth during the daytime, and how much of a kick in the teeth it will be if it's not forshadowing something.

did you take into account shes stood on the QEC?

I should go.    

yay top again *edit*  

Ha-ha:D. You know I did notice that weird hexagonal pattern, but I didn't want to start us off on the QEC thing again.

Great minds think alike... suspiciously alike in fact!

Oh God, you know what this means?! We're... indoctrinated! It's the derelict Reaper all over again!

 On a lighter note, Raphael Sparge posted this on his Twitter, re working on the new DLC:

I could be wrong, but I think he might have had the ending in mind when he posted this. If so, I like his sense of humour. Is there a yellow ending on the way perhaps? 

We'll get ten new endings!

As much as i want a new ending, i just cannot see them doing it without ploughing loads of money into it. Personally i really want to drop kick star brats arse into orbit and then take the whole fleet through the citadel relay and go kick the reapers backsides in darkspace.

and my chances of that happening are?

rainbow doesnt do shades of colours. nice wikipedia......

Technicolor theories are models of physics beyond the standard model that address electroweak symmetry breaking, the mechanism through which elementary particles acquire masses. Early technicolor theories were modelled on quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the "color" theory of the strong nuclear force, which inspired their name.

Instead of introducing elementary Higgs bosons to explain observed phenomena, technicolor models hide electroweak symmetry and generate masses for the W and Z bosons through the dynamics of new gauge interactions. Although asymptotically free at very high energies, these interactions must become strong and confining (and hence unobservable) at lower energies that have been experimentally probed. This dynamical approach is natural and avoids the hierarchy problem of the Standard Model.[1]

In order to produce quark and lepton masses, technicolor has to be "extended" by additional gauge interactions. Particularly when modelled on QCD, extended technicolor is challenged by experimental constraints on flavor-changing neutral current and precision electroweak measurements. It is not known what is the extended technicolor dynamics.

Much technicolor research focuses on exploring strongly-interacting gauge theories other than QCD, in order to evade some of these challenges. A particularly active framework is "walking" technicolor, which exhibits nearly-conformal behavior caused by an infrared fixed point with strength just above that necessary for spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. Whether walking can occur and lead to agreement with precision electroweak measurements is being studied through non-perturbative lattice simulations.[2]

Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider are expected to discover the mechanism responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking, and will be critical for determining whether the technicolor framework provides the correct description of nature. In 2012 they declared the discovery of a Higgs-like boson with mass approximately 125 GeV/c2;[3][4][5] such a particle is not generically predicted by technicolor models, but can be accommodated by them.



then again.....

Well, you have to spend money to make money. EA are definitely planning more ME games, but they must know that they will sell like boiled rat burgers unless they restore the franchise's reputation. A DLC with the awesome scenario you outline above would make huge news in the gaming press, and get disaffected fans to buy back their traded-in copies just to play it, so you never know...

Hehehe! I love it! This is the Oz-obsessor in me (veteran moderator of Witches of Oz forum FTW!), but there is so much more Oz going on in that ending than meets the eye. And lets not forget that lucid-dreaming, hallucinating an alternate reality, and symbolic reflections got trope-ified in the WoO movie!

Catalyst = Oz head, a manipulative projection created by a flawed enemy.
The beam = the tornado/the window pane that knocks Dorothy out (if we're being literal).
The color coded endings = the color coded land of Oz. Color coding is a simplistic, symbolic way of creating an atmosphere of unreality. 

Yadda, yadda. I'm not saying the parallels are intentional, but a lot of the cinematic tropes that establish Alternate Realities find their genesis in the Wizard of Oz film.

Oh, Shepard, something tells me we're not in Kansas anymore!






EDIT TO ADD:

Also, all the poppies.

So Synthesis = Emerald City, but what are blue and red then? (Aside from the Matrix pills)

shep was hit on the head in the beginning of me3, just like dot in the wizard of oz.....yikes.

@Krimzie That's brilliant! That's how we rescue Shepard from the insidious grip of indoctrination! Slap some ruby slippers on him and get him to say "there's no place like home" on the dialogue wheel.

Ruby slippers...ruby as in RED! Destroy is the only way to get home!

In the end it felt more like "hit on the head on birth" ... or "vom Wiggeltisch gefalle" wie der Hesse sagt.

We're so getting that IT reveal.

[Xd2delo]

I hope so, but Leviathan really numbed my hopes. What the Levi said seemed to confirm the existence of the Starbrat (where previously I had regarded him as entirely invented during your indoctrination-induced hallucination; although there is some discussion of a guiding intelligence behind the Reapers on Thessia), and seems to confirm his story about his purpose. But here's still hoping.

Are you referring to the German state?

I'll lay off the WoO geekery soon enough, but how funny that Dorothy gets knocked out and is sucked upward to another dimension. It's not like the beam at all, because the beam totally doesn't look like a tornado -- oh wait.

When?

And would those outside the BSN actually care at this point?
