Tell you (your Shepard), or tell Jack, what the right thing to do is? Were people telling you what the right thing to do is with Jack, in your playthroughs, or were they just giving you their opinions?

As an aside, I'm suffering through the new version of "Clash of the Titans", and never before have I missed Harryhausen's work so much.
Never was there a tale of a more lobotomised remake... wait, those giant scorpions the size of horses just aren't big enough - let's make them the size of houses! Medusa's ugly... let's make her hot (and cover her knockers up at the same time because even monster nipples are evil)! Let's just put one on those crap monsters from Gears of War in and call it the Kraken!
I think Jack's thinking what we're all thinking...

Meh, forget about it york. Let's talk about something else.
Mondo hates the new "Clash of the Titans"... I wonder if I'll like it.
We both think that John Carpenter's "The Thing", is one of the best sci-fi films of all time. Speaking of the Medusa Mondo, I remember watching that movie over at a friends house when I was a kid. We replayed that scene of her being killed, over and over again on his vcr. We got a kick out of watching that green slime pour out of her neck.

I like "The Thing", too. The scene with the dogs sticks in my mind. I saw that movie as a kid. It didn't give me nightmares, but the house I grew up in, as a kid, was filled with dogs. During the scene with the dogs, I distinctly remember thinking to myself, "Oh, ****", and looking around at our dogs suspiciously.

The scene that sticks in my mind, is when that dude passes out, and that doctor tries to revive him. That blew my mind.

That lip-scar. Creative speculation about how she got it? Varren nipped her? Mishap with a gardening implement? Some guy with a knife?

I totally ignored the serial killer talk earlier, I guess. Like Mondo said, we don't know. However I really think the writers didn't intend that for the Jack character. If she kills Aresh, she does say that it feels good, and she's got a wicked smile on her face.
The question is, what's a serial killer. It's not in Webster's Dictionary, that I know of.
Here is a couple of links. Yeah I know, wikis aren't totally reliable. These two sites do try to define it, though.

After reading these a little bit, I think you could probably call Jack a serial killer. She may not be one in the conventional sense of how we picture a serial killer in our mind, but still possibly a serial killer nonetheless.

I can't completely grasp what the topic currently is, but something about reading how Shepard lost the moral high ground by choosing a relationship with Jack struck me as somehow wrong. Sure, everyone in a relationship always say they accept their partner for all their faults, but I don't really see that in practice. People change in relationships. People get exasperated in relationships. They give and they take, they argue and make up.
Much about Jack can appeal to Shepard, her spirit and her outlook on life. But how she focuses such energy might not fly so well. Her life, though, was very different before she was on the Normandy. She had to fight for everything, defend from everything. She ran with criminals and those who simply didn't give a shit. Now she's with someone who is going to give it all for a greater cause. Why would paragon Shepard want to be with someone comfortable with living in a morally corrupt environment? On the flip side, why would Jack want to be with someone comfortable with living his life in the service of others? Because there's always more to it.
So yeah, Jack throws a biotic punch at a guy talking smack and Shepard looks at her and asks if that was really necessary. And Shepard goes out of his way to get a couple Asari off some no-fly list, and Jack wonders why he wastes his time when there are more pressing matters. I can see Jack asking Shepard why he has to be such a pushover all the time and Shepard asking her if it would hurt so much to play it nice. And in the end, they're still with each other.

I'd say it's from a knife, though I'd think it would be pretty fantastic luck to get that small of a cut.

When I was talking about moral high ground, I was talking about players that say Jack only deserves a Shepard with certain characteristics, or that only certain decisions, such as letting Aresh go, are good for Jack. Taking the moral high ground, while at the same time, romancing a murderer. That player loses the moral high ground. Practice what you preach.Pacifien wrote...

Eh. They're all murderers. Even a Paragon Shepard. Just ask Jeong. No wait, you can't.JohnnyDollar wrote...

Then it's all academic then. There is no morality, or moral high ground in ME. You can't tell me that encouraging Jack to kill Aresh, is wrong. It's all grey.

Or someone could've thrown a rock at her. [/assassin's creed 2 reference]
Anyone remember that time when the Kasumi DLC was out and we were imagining what Jack might look like in a dress when going incognito at the party? Yeah. This'll never happen except in our twisted little imaginations, so here's my take of Jack in the little black dress:

That's funny, because I thought it makes her look like a Future Space-Techno-Nun.
The fourth from the left looks like it's designed to be an extension of the design of her tattoos. I like it.
The second from the left looks like Little Black Dress material.
The first, on the left, looks like something she would might wear to a fancy dinner party at the beach.
The third one from the left makes her look like Fashion Critic Jack.
EDIT: Forgot to say, great work, axl.

The one on the left seems about right. That's what she wears when she meets Shepard's mom.

I do like the one on the left the most out of all of them. Feels the most Jack-like, accentuating her skin while still drawing your eye to her other features.
The one in the middle reminds me of Epantiras/york's art critic Jack. Perfect for blending into Hock's party! The ones on either side of that one remind me of normal cocktail dresses, and normal is not Jack-like. The one on the right looks like something Benezia would wear.

I think Jack would only accept the two on the left at all, but thinking about the curses Jack would spit out and the damage she would leave after changing to the environment, I can hardly imagine that even Shepard would have enough persuasive power to get Jack look like a "cheerleader" in her opinion.

Epantiras doesn't need to actually type anything in this thread, she can just post her artwork in response to anything.

So we've gone from "50 First Dates" to "So I Married an Axe Murderer". Great.
Jack's always been a possible axe-murderer, she's just one we allow ourselves to see as adorable and doe-eyed.
Sorry guys, I could not resist!!
(oh yes, that's my Femshep's "you've got to be kidding" expression from Overlord)
