:o Zombie splatting? I can't do that with you peeps, no tengo L4D2 por 360 :(
Maybe Locust splatting? :D (at least until I can't play anymore that is, then I wouldn't be hurt if you all had a L4D2 party)


If it makes you feel better, my 360 is being scatterbrained...first it read L4D2, then it stopped reading all other discs, now it's back to reading every disc except for L4D2. Maybe if I stick a Q-tip in the disc tray and try to clean the laser, or get my hands on a can of compressed air it could fix it.


Careful with the lens, you can do a lot more harm than good if you go messing with it. Little bursts of compressed air is prolly safest...don't use a Q-tip.


Yeah...looking back on it, a Q-tip probably isn't the best idea. Now to procure a compressed air can.

Oh, Darth. Should let you know that I'm finding Dr. Who to be highly entertaining. And Billie Piper is freaking gorgeous.

Gets even better with the second series.  Christopher Eccelston only did one season as the Doctor, it gets really good when David Tennant takes over ;)

The stupid thing is that I can bounce ideas around all day, but actually working on them is a pain for me.

Splatting is splatting to me, I've spent a long enough time away from Gears to be able to play it again. IF you guys want to play it, I'm game. Provided my 360 lets me load it.

There's a lot to do, Shepard. Maybe another time.

That's what I was gunning for. We took a break from Gears so if people wanted to play it then it would be more proper now than before.

By the way, I had a huge plate of nachos for dinner last night :D Probably gonna make more today to get rid of the leftover ground beef :9

MA, is it wrong that I get a little sour when I compare the review count of *that* story with mine. I know why it's more popular. Just...ugh



Miranda's 35. I think she can go five minutes without thinking about sex.

SEEMS like a betrayal....not IS a betrayal.....

And as fire said, she does seem to lack the ability tom think for hersefl. Sure as Valmy said, she may have thoughts, but she does seemt o do whatever eitrher the concensus is or her superior says.

So, seems like a betrayal, thats what she says. Nothing else.....not resigned at that point. Shep then DECIDES what hes doing.....and then Miranda (as is usually the case and as fire pointed out) then goes along with him....


I have to disagree with you on this, Mavi.

Miranda, Shepard and TIM are not acting alone. They're working together. It's clear in that discussion that she reached the same conclusion as Shep and both are trying to make TIM see things from their POV.

Her resignation at that point wouldn't make any sense. It only makes sense once she sees that TIM only cares about getting his hands on the base, no matter the cost (in this case, at the cost of Shepard).

So again, in my opinion, she could have said no and agreed with TIM, she could have shot Shep....she could have agreed with Shep and NOT resigned....


Again, I must disagree. There's no way she could have agreed with Shep and not resigned. TIM doesn't take disobeying orders lightly. She even throws that back at him.

I feel she sided with Shep and resigned as she see's Shep as stronger and more cpabale than TIm (and remember everything Cerberus does for her given her father and sister).....

For once she made an actual choice imo.....as to 'why' she makes that choice I guess we might find out in ME3 hehe.....


It's clear that Miranda made the choice because she felt it was the right one to make, which was reinforced by TIM's reaction. Remmember that she is the one who initially sells the idea of how important Shepard is in the fight against the reapers to TIM.

Also, because of her interactions with Shepard throughout the game, she has come to trust and value her own opinion much more, enabling her to act more according to her own thoughts and feelings.

There's another point you seem to miss when you talk about her position in Cerberus is that even if she is very important, EDI makes it clear that Cerberus functions as independent cells, with no knowledge of each other. This means Miranda, regardless of her importance, is only aware of what her cell is doing, nothing else. Only TIM is aware of everything.

You also mentioned Niket. It's obvious she didn't want to kill him. She felt that, unfortunately, it was the only way to keep Oriana safe, and as such, she felt she had to do it. Good thing Shep can stop her, otherwise she would be emotionaly devastated.

And IMO, after having Miranda in my squad in every mission possible, it's clear she has a pretty good moral compass. She is relentless in her assignments, but I don't believe she would do something trully objectionable.

Not everything Cerberus does is abhorrent. And TIM is not stupid. He is surely aware of Miranda's mindset and would never jeopardize her loyalty by ordering to do something she would find trully objectionable.

As Miranda herself says, she is tasked with Cerberus' most difficult and technically challenging assignments.
Those are assignments that don't involve a complete disregard for anyone and anything.

There isn't much difficult or technically challenging about hatching Rachni eggs, infecting people to become Creepers, ambushing soldiers with Thresher Maws and abusing children to create powerful biotics.

I've often wondered where she got that extensive education, considering she ran away at 16-17. Or was she one of those mega-geniuses who could get a doctorate at 14?


Rather forced to.  She had exacting standards she had to perform to for her father to keep her.  At least that is what I suspect.

Operative Lawson.  Your visit is unexpected but I trust you will find the fan thread project is progressing as ordered.

For you I can forgive anything ;) I think the big chapters were probably a mistake. People have the attention span of fruit flies.
