I figured you were okay because it was in Clackamas. That's crazy. It was even in the paper over here.

So...I was talking to the Retake Italiano guys and gals about CP...apparently I can tag his ass on facebook. Yes folks, now we can facebook CP. And if you're friends with me on facebook currently, the RI guys and I have conferred him with a new nickname.

Yes, I'm going to go see mnomaha, and sit in her lounge helping her pack while pigging out on cheesecake and trifle and arguing over whether or not a fish is an animal and therefore it's flesh is meat.
You should post debauched things on the thread with her account
Have a happy and safe holiday, you two. Also, fishes are not animals. They are agents of the Deep Ones, come to bring about our doom to Great Cthulhu.

Oh no, I know you're not defending what they did. I was just giving my view on it. I probably should have made addressed that, sorry about that o.O
I do see why you prefer less squadies. I thought the depth for them was fine ONLY because I thought they were going to expand on them in Mass Effect 3. Well clearly I was wrong. Like you said it's a personal preference, and if try we're squad mates I really liked then I'd prefer a smaller team without. I liked nearly every squad mate in ME2 so that's why I prefer the larger crew.
It's all cool. And I definitely see where you're coming from about the ME2 crew. I liked all of them too. They could've at least given us a rotating squad slot for the ME2 cameos. For example, Miranda as a squad member for the Sanctuary and Cronos Station missions, Samara as an optional squaddie in the monastary and on Thessia, etc. They wouldn't have had to make whole new classes for them either--comparable classes already existed in the multiplayer.

Okay guys, I've decided. I'm going to get all the dlc (god help me) and do a clean playthrough.
Should I or should I not use an import. It will not, of course, be a Thane import. Garrus import only.
@Sable...I agree. She's a vegetarian and I disagree that fish/seafood are meat. In my head, meat=mammal/fowl. Everything else is a free for all.
If she posts naughty stuff on my account, I'm gonna post pictures of a very drunk viking chick.

@ Mnomaha start up ME3 and then go to Downloadable content that is where you buy the DLC's..I think.

Yeah well technically I live in Vancouver, Washington, which is right to the north of Portland. (Less taxes to live there and I go shop in Oregon to avoid sales tax 
hah) but I commute to Portland cause my college is in the Pearl district.

I think I'm going to have to get there before I actually see this Vancouver/Portland phenomena. I actually wondered if I could work in Vancouver (no income tax, right?) and live in Portland. Does it really work that way?

OH, and it is done. Omega and Leviathan are downloading. I am going to do this and see if it makes a difference. If it does, like that podcast indicated, I'm gonna be so pissed.
edit:
have they turned off the censors?

Hi guys, I was just thinking about the deaths in ME3 and wanted to share my opinions.
I'm not someone who usually protests people's deaths in movies/games/books/whatever. I think they can add a lot to the story. But something felt really off to me about a few of the deaths in ME3, namely Thane and Shepard's (Thane's for obvious reasons). And while I was thinking about it I realized, part of it must be that I felt so close to the characters, like I knew them personally. I honestly *cared* about Thane. I mean, I bawled when he died. Playing ME1 and 2 is so engaging and immersive that you really do start to feel like you're part of the world, and that the characters are actually your friends and partners. That's what makes their deaths so unbearable--that we truly care about them. In other stories, it saddens me when characters I like die, but not like this.
And that's part of the problem. Since they allowed you to have that intimate relationship with Thane, him dying like that was plain cruel.
This goes especially for Shepard, in my eyes. Shepard is what you make her (or him) to be. She's your creation, and I don't know about you guys, but I came to love my Shepard. After suffering so much and losing so many of her friends, all we really wanted was a satisfying, triumphant ending. But instead, Shepard died as well. To me, it's kind of like with her death, the soul of Mass Effect died too. What do you think when you think about Mass Effect? Shepard (and Thane of course). You followed that character through each moment of each game of the series, only to see her die at the end. She saved the galaxy, but I did not feel victorious. I didn't feel proud or satisfied. Those are the feelings we all wanted from the ending, and that's what Shepard deserved.
I don't know, Shepard's death really rubbed me the wrong way. Granted I still wouldn't have been satisfied with the ending if Shepard had lived and it was the best ending of anything ever because of what was done to Thane. But I think killing Shepard was kind of just the icing on the cake. It felt so wrong to me.

Well said Lucy. I was thinking along those lines myself. Nothing will ever be able to replace the lost immersion and cohesion that was lost in this game. Between the murder of Thane, assassination via stereotype of Jacob's character, the rampant sexism and the needless death of my Shepard, I doubt I will find anything redeeming in this game. Ever.
But I do have one complete playthrough. I have the dlc downloading as we speak and I will honestly try to get through another playthrough with my GarrusShep (since nobody answered my question), but it is going to be bloody hard. I literally detest this game as it is now.
Yes, people needed to die. However, I think we also deserved the chance to have them live. We were the ones that were supposed to be shaping Shepard's story. Guess that game died during the Suicide Mission. And here I thought I saved them all...

Oh, and I also wanted to say that the ending felt somewhat like a fever dream to me.
Just imagine it: You're in a strange, ridiculous place with some stupid kid you don't give a s*** about but is probably appearing in your dream because your mind's filtering the useless things from your long term memory, and he says you have three (four if you count refusal) options to save a dying world and they all SUCK and terrify you and go completely against your nature, but you have to choose one. And you're sitting there, going insane, thinking about all the ridiculous consequences and sacrifices you'd have to make for each option. I can imagine myself in that dream thinking "No, please give me a better choice!" or "Wait, the destroy ending doesn't actually kill all synthetics, right?"
The only difference is, my dream would alter itself if I wanted it to. ME3 remains its crappy, unfinished, rushed, disappointing, botched self of a game, no matter how much I wish it would change.

@mnomaha I agree completely. So much about that game makes me so angry.
In regard to your question, I would personally not do the GarrusShep romance because I'd feel like I was, I don't know, giving into Bioware's LI favoritism. And it would be hard for me to romance someone and feel happy about it, knowing that the real person I wanted to romance was left in the dirt. I'd rather not romance anyone in the third game, or just do my Thane romance and grit my teeth. But that's how I feel about it.

Husky: Remember to post a photo of this sweetie:) They're so cute. I have two Huskies (that's how the plural form looks, right?) One is still a puppy and her mum is 4 years old. I absolutely love these dogs and I was always more of a cat person.
Roxy wrote...
@Jessica Husky....aaaaw they are so adorable,I wanted to get one some years back but I decided not to cause where I live I didn't think the weather would be good for the dog,anyways I hope you will share some pics with us.
I FINALLY got back home, work, shopping for the dog, getting her, vet check-up, and HOME
!Only took a few pics because all I've been doing is videos
Here's a couple, I'm going to make an instagram tomorrow to make an album instead of using imageshack.
[Sorry if the images have poor quality. I used my Iphone]
I decided to name her Viola, and OMG SHE IS SO FREAKING ADORABLE!!
The breeder removed her dew claw which...eh I wouldn't do that to a dog since that has to be beyond painful and there's no need to remove it.
When I first saw her, I thought I wouldn't be able to adopt her since she looks like she's 4 weeks old, but she's 6 weeks old and off her mother's milk, and when the breeder told me that I was so happy I wanted to mimic FemShep's voice saying "I'll take it".
I'm taking the rest of the week off so I can help her get used to my place. She hasn't barked at all, but she did whine when I was eating strawberries, and I gave her a couple
I so need to put up a video of her eating one.I'll have my boyfriend drop by when I'm at work next week, so she won't be all alone.
Oh, and I forgot to mention. On my way to the breeder's house, some guy was riding a Semi trying to get him/her to speed up and it was all to no avail. So anyways, there when the curb in the middle of the road ended there was a protected left turn lane and then the curb starting again after the lane ended. This GENIUS thought that they could go into the protected turn lane and speed up with enough room to pass the Semi. I mean the SEMI WAS LITERALLY THE SIZE OF THE TURN LANE! Anyways, he hit the curb at the end of the lane and without looking veered back into his previous lane (I was behind this guy the whole time) and he literally almost swung into me and I would have gotten into an accident if I didn't slam on the breaks. My heart felt like it stopped beating for a few seconds, but I wasn't going to let this guy ruin my day of adoption my puppy.
Lesson Learned: Not everyone is as safe of a driver as you may be.
@Roxy
What type of area do you live in? My parents adopted a Husky and we lived in an area that had nice summers and cold snowy winters. Right now where I'm at is cold, but no snow yet but maybe later this week.
@Vlk3
So...Even though Aria hates Purgatory and at the end of the DLC she made a huge speech on how she was going to rebuild Omega and never leave them again...she's back sitting at Purgatory? BioWare...GENIUS! It makes so much sense that I can't comprehend it apparently >.>
Seriously, The Citadel is the only Hub World. I wish we could have Omega back and maybe Illium. Staying at the Citadel is just extremely boring with eavesdrop quests everywhere you turn.
@Mnomaha
I'd say whether or not to start a clean playthrough is whether or not you feel the series is worth the extra time. Me personally, I can't even finish my second playthrough.
@Sable
I would've preferred that much more than cameo appearances.
Also, I would've liked a renegade option if you romanced Jacob for all the Jacobmancers. Jacob dumping Shepard for that girl...that completely threw me off. I thought it was a nice touch IF you didn't romance him, but if you did...then you're probably wanting to kick him where it hurts.
"What th...? Jacob, you dump me because I'm away incarcerated after everything we've been through? Shep, kick him in the balls!"
'I'm a Paragon Shepard, I can't do that =/'
"I don't care! Punt him in his baby maker so he never uses his 'Priiiize' again!"
...well that's how I'd imagine it.
@Lucy
You are definitely not alone with that thinking. What drew me to this game so much as opposed to the other games was that it made you feel like what you decided matters. Before playing Mass Effect, I have never played a game that allowed me to make choices and face consequences of the choices I made. This series was a huge step up for interest to me, and I was actually drawn to this feeling like I shaped the world how I wanted it. What killed all my decisions, in my opinion, was the ending with no matter what you do...all you get is three choices and some different slideshows. The ending does have beautiful music and is nice eye-candy, I'll give BioWare that.
Endings aside, my favorite character who I thought would've finally had a well written romance was completely shafted.
-Monastary-
I played through the Monastary finding Samara and expecting something from that attempted Romance scene. Nothing happened, saved her and was like "Okay, maybe later in the game".
-Citadel-
Talked to Samara through every option hoping for something about the attempted romance...nothing.
Well actually, there was an extra line that was so subtle that not even a Samaramancer would've realized that's what they got.
-Thessia-
Thought I'd see Samara, nope.
-Final Goodbye Conversation-
I was like "OKAY, if there's ANYTHING at ALL it HAS to be here."
"It's past time I joined your battle. You helped me a great deal at the monastary [...] Farewell Shepard"
"Okay, maybe something with the ending like a happily ever after thing."
-Ending-
"I'm done with this game..."
@Mnomaha (again)
Have fun on your holiday trip

@mnomaha: For a while I was considering getting the DLC (at least Javik and Leviathan) and doing a clean playthrough. But then the MEHEM came out, and that solved so many more of my problems with ME3 than the DLC ever would. Let us know what you think of a clean playthrough, I has a curious.
@Jessica: ZOMG CUTE PUPPY. I can't get a doggy, my landlord and my cat would both freak out. But I can coo over other people's puppies.
