I wouldn't be surprised if Bioware said that. They also said that most people founf the planet scanning strangely addictive. *gag* Pardon me, I think I just threw up a little.

They *really* said that? Are you sure about that? I can't believe it... didn't they say the opposite in the recent IGN interview?


There was a whole thread about it maybe a week ago HERE. Hudson supposedly said it in GI (Game Informer?).

Hudson has said one of *his* favourite characters is Jack. I haven't read the GI interview but I assume its a misinterpretation given player feedback on these forums.

@Andy: Lol. We haven't even lived a quarter of our possible lifespans yet. I hardly think we can consider ourselves old.


Don't worry, there's at least one creepy guy around here older than you two... And why is everyone looking at me funny?

Pfah, youngsters! I was in my early 20s when the Dreamcast came out.
Why are you all staring at me now?


Yeah... I meant him... quit lookin' at me.


Thanks Karstedt. Aren't you protesting a little too much? Image IPB

So THAT'S what the couch scene is supposed to look like. Quite sweet, really. I don't see why so many people insist the relationship is necessarily "just a fling."

Because they know nothing about the character, they just take a look at her and project 'skank' and are done with it.

Miranda also seems to exhibit a couple of traits common to those who were psychologically abused as children, especially low self-esteem She is supremely confident in her abilities, true, but doesn't view them as truly her. "The only thing I can take credit for is my mistakes." She seems to view herself largely as a tool. Her self-worth is bound up in how useful she is, not in any intrinsic quality.

I attribute that to her genetic engineering. I don't think this trait is strong enough to support a history of abuse on its own. But YMMV, if you want to interpret it that way. I would prefer not to.

I had this playing on my iPod on the way home, so I was listening to the lyrics rather than letting it wash over me and it struck me how as a possible theme tune to the Shep/Miri romance, especially right at the beginning. Damn Queen did some fine songs!

I have two Queen songs on my iPod, and I don't think I'm THAT old... :?

Good morning thread. The Firewalker is pretty cool and Thane's shades are almost the best thing ever.

Just giving you a hard time after you made fun of yourself earlier.  The rest of you guys can put down your Queen fanboi pitchforks.

You might have wanted to put an emoticon in then... the internet doesn't do well at conveying tone of voice unless it's by audio. Image IPB

Anyway, growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional! Image IPB That and age and treachery will beat youth and enthusiasm every time. Image IPB

Queen? That brings back memories. Highlander was one of my favorite shows growing up.

Ieldra: You certainly don't have to read her that way. It just helps me make sense of some aspects of her character. I also read Liara as borderline mentally ill, so it's not just Miranda.

Anyway, just to clarify - here are the lyrics to Breakthru - note the chorus.



When love breaks up

When the dawn light wakes up

A new life is born - oooooh

Somehow I have to make this final breakthru . . . now!



(Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)

I wake up

Feel just fine

Your face

Fills my mind

I get religion quick

'Cos you're looking divine

Honey you're touching something, you're touchin' me

I'm under your thumb, under your spell, can't you see ?



If I could only reach you

If I could make you smile

If I could only reach you

That would really be a breakthru



Oh yeah



Breakthru, these barriers of pain

Breakthru, yeah, to the sunshine from the rain



Make my feelings known towards you

Turn my heart inside and out for you now

Somehow I have to make this final breakthru

Now! (now now now)

Oh yeah



(Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)

Your smile

Speaks books to me

I break up

With each and every one of your looks at me

Honey you're starting something deep inside (of me)

Honey you're sparking something, this fire in me

I'm outta control, I wanna rush headlong into this ecstasy



If I could only reach you

If I could make you smile

If I could only reach you - ooh ooh ooh ooh

That would really be a breakthru

If I could only reach you

If I could make you smile

If I could only reach you

That would really be a breakthru

Oh yeah



Breakthru, breakthru

Break, hey



If I could only reach you

If I could make you smile

If I could only reach you (ooh ooh ooh ooh)

That would really be a breakthru

If I could only reach you

If I could make you smile

If I could only reach you

That would really be a breakthru



(Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)

Breakthru

I thought about putting an emoticon in there...but for some reason it just seemed funnier without one.

Anyway I am old for this group as well...and I totally agree!

Ick.  I hope he does not overhaul the story to give jack more time.  Miranda is way WAY WAY WAY cooler.  I am really starting to like her.
