Joker joins the fight!
A question in mind: how the hell did Joker get those muscles...?
Joker joins the fight!
Well, finally finished Leviathan. I got side tracked with a little Bejeweled 3 (hey, it's free on Origin,) and had some chores to do. Anyhow, I really do love that DLC. I'm hoping that the whole Leviathan story isn't just going to be forgotten about. I mean, wow...talk about some potentially awesome villains.
I know the chances are unlikely, but I would love to see if the consequences of that will affect ME: Next. That would be some Lovecraft mixed with Event Horizon right there and it would be a kick to play. The other DLCs affected the game, like BDtS and Arrival happening no matter what. The latter confused the sh*t out of me the first time I played ME3, since I didn't have the DLC installed. So, perhaps that will factor into future games? Maybe? Hopefully?
I know, it's a pipe dream.
Ahem, anyhow...going off to destroy the Reaper base on Rannoch and then start Citadel before Thessia.

I loved the Lovecraftian vibe of Leviathan as well, and honestly I wouldn't object at all to them returning in the next game(s) in some fashion; kind of a "Old Gods lay asleep deep under the surface of 2181 Despoina"... err, doesn't really roll off the tongue, does it? ![]()
Finished my current playthrough with a red ending. Took Ash and James on the beam run and it was Garrus who didn't put shep's name on the wall. Something struck me as a little strange; When starkid was describing synthesis to shep, and shep asked it, "and there will be peace?" It answered with, "the cycle will end." ... which isn't really a definitive answer is it? Hmmm...
I managed to get my black velvet dress mod working for Citadel. It's such a drastic improvement over the original monstrosity:
And this time, I actually believe Garrus. ![]()
Edit: The modder was kind enough to get rid of that damned zipper in the back as well.
Took care of the clone. I always felt a little bad for him/her at the end, when Brooks wusses out. Yes, I took out Brooks. Like with Awesome Toby, that's one of the Renegade interrupts I always take.
Started the first of the meetups, but I'm pretty sure I can't do the pre-party meetup with Miranda until after I take care of her sister. I'm going to do about 1/2 of the rest, then go do Thessia/side quests. Then come back. If I was Shepard, after Thessia, I'd want a stiff drink or three. I don't even drink anymore, but after the clone and Thessia back to back, I'd want to drink myself silly too. I saved in the arcade just after Trayor's moment of awesome, and just before meeting Zaeed.
I think I'm done for now. I feel like crap, since I'm coming down with bronchitis. Frankly, it's all I can do to stay awake until after my doctor's appointment in a few hours. So parties and saving the galaxy is going to have to wait for another day. Hopefully I'll feel slightly more human when I wake up. Glad I took care of laundry before starting my antibiotics, when I'm going to end up feeling like total hell.
As an aside, I wish the person that did that black velvet mod was still around. I'd submit those cutscene pics to him/her for their gallery. More than the little still from inside of the apartment, those screenshots really show how well that texture works on top of that mesh.
First part of Earth. It's been awhile since I continued on... >_>
Spoiler
Wait, is that... Dark Sphere?! ![]()
Wait, is that... Dark Sphere?!
Lol! Yes, it is, 'cause he's the only person who matches green biotics.
"What the shi*t? Sh*t. Sh*t. Sh*t. When this is all over, we are definitely gonna talk about this bait thing. Sh*t. Oh Sh*t. Sh*t. Sh*t. Sh*t.
Not to mention that Joker actually has unused Earth dialogues.
Today in the Mass Effect Trilogy I ran around the Citadel in ME3 and took screencaps of all the turians I could find.

Granted there are only like 3 different faces for all of them, but still.

Maybe the Tech Armor Turian God.
'Cause he's out showing off his Tech Armor to every enemy. ![]()
Today, I finally caved in and got FRAPS - quick HD test:

Finished up probably the best reason I have for doing the Garrus romance. I made a save just before this scene so I can watch it when I'm feeling down.

Alas, that's the end of the fun and games for a bit. I'm off to go do Thessia, as well as do Miranda's quest for the meetups. In the meantime, I'm probably going to start getting high on cold meds, so if I get a lil loopy, don't mind me. ![]()
Edit: I didn't realize how fun the Renegade interrupts were in that sequence. I'm adding those to the Must Have list along with Awesome Toby's final interrupt, the Blue Suns Sgt from Garrus' recruitment quest in ME2 ("You're workin' too hard,") the Tali hug, and shooting Udina.
Yeah...did I mention I hate Thessia? Not losing, but nothing like having the villain directly show off his Plot Armor:
I really hate him. His music even sounds like a sci-fi remix of a Street Fighter track. Stupid shoehorned-in jerkass.
Anyhow, I meant to do this on my previous Shepard, but here's my current one in Ash's old armor:
"I lost. I lost? What a minute, I'm not supposed to lose. Let me see that script." ![]()
And finally, why I feel worse for Shepard than almost any of the rest of the asari minus Liara and her father:
That look nails the entire emotion of that scene, minus Wonder Boy up there. I just want to reach through the screen and hug Shep. ![]()
A question in mind: how the hell did Joker get those muscles...?
Everyone has the same body model besides some special characters. Even Hackett would have muscles...
Ahh, the feelz..
Ok, I knew getting fraps was a bad idea..
