We have rattlesnakes all over the place over here : /

*grins* Ahh, the benefits of living in a country that's had its landscape controlled for milliennia

[sesheta255]

I've seen a couple of redbellied black snakes at the local park but they generally get out of your way unless you stir them up or step on them

Hey, if I had the choice, I'd have been born elsewhere

[Doug84]

Hehe, fair enough - I think all the lethal creatures were hunted down and wiped out over here

[sesheta255]

We just mostly ignore the buggers and if you live in suburbia you don't see too much in the way of poisonous wildlife.

It was generally only Steve Irwin that used to chase the poor buggers around, well him and a few drunken idiots, lol

Or put on boats and shipped to the US!

Morning all.



Yeah, funnel webs are horrible. I was staying with a friend in Mosman (suburb of Sydney) and went to use the laundry room in her building. I'd just loaded up the washing machine when a giant funnel web jumped out of a hole in the wall above the washing machine and landed on the lid. Didn't faze my friend at all, but I've never screamed so loudly. Not fun retrieving my clothes later, poking suspiciously through them to make sure there weren't any guests.

This thread has been moving like lightning! o.O



A quick question for any gay guys reading this thread, or anyone who simply finds the topic interesting. (Biotic Warlock's the only one I can think of, but anyone's free to answer!) I just saw a group here on the social site called "supporters of heterosexuality in ME". I found myself... somewhat taken aback by it. I mean, on the one hand, I'm gonna come right out and say that it makes me uncomfortable to read when guys swoon/drool over Kaidan. I'm sorry - it just does. I'm not a girl who finds guy-on-guy hot. On the other hand, I would also feel uncomfortable telling anyone else "you can't/shouldn't feel that way." And I know we joke when we say "no ******," but I have occasionally wondered if that might offend any readers of this thread. Hopefully it's taken in the spirit in which it is meant. :-)



I'm not trying to derail it or anything (though I probably am). Just wondering what other people think. If ye'd prefer not to talk about it, fair enough.

[Never]

I think people who join a group like that should get a swift biotic kick to the teeth.

Yeah if you live in a known funnelweb area its generally a good idea to check your shoes too before you put them on
We mostly have redback spiders around here raher than funnelwebs - in the garden, have to be careful when doing any gardening

Yes, I can't say I was suprised when I heard about his death.  Crappy for his family, but he was literally asking for it.

Hehe, to quote my dad whenever he saw Steve Irwin on TV: "Oh no, is he on it again? Crazy idiot..."

Got to love people who go and poke those animal, being all "ooooooooh, look at it, it's so beautiful!"

Ergh... groups like that make me unhappy - especially when they try and pretend their not homophobic - " Please, no bashing pro-gay people, spamming their threads, etc. Lets talk civilly and bring a little class into the debate."

Bollocks (yeah, that'll be censored out but I had to say it), utter bollocks - its like saying "We don't hate black people, we just don't want the option of a black Shepard" <_<

I honestly don't mind if they include a gay option(s) in ME, so long as I'm not going to accidently click on it because its not clearly labelled (I'm sure the ladies here know how uncomfortable that is after the whole 'Jacob' thing)

Edit: Oh, and 2 of their few topics: "DOWN WITH THE GAYS! WE'RE NOT HOMOPHOBES!" Although in fairness, its just one **** who posted in both.

Edit2: Ok, looks like that one ****s is either a troll in general, or a gay supporter trolling the anti-gay folk.

Well said.

Morning folks!

I feel sorry for any spiders that end up in our house, to be honest. I'm not a big fan of the nasty eight-legged things, but I wouldn't wish our kitties on them either. Any spider that pokes it's compound eyes into our house tends to get set upon and "played with" by four curious cats.

I do chase them up the garden if I catch them harrassing frogs though, that's just mean.

Re. page 1000 - Shepards might be better if it's going to be posted publically. I don't mind any of the regulars in this thread seeing a picture of me, but all the other forum users who could then find it make me a bit dubious

I personally can't see Kaidan as a gay romance option, but hey each to their own.
I'm not really into woman like that which is why none of my femsheps romanced Liara (regardless of what spin bioware want to put on it, in my eyes shes a female), but I don't have a problem if the option is there for someone that does.
As for groups like that I think they are a bit over the top - there is no need for them because of the mentality they attract

I'm not showing my face - I like you guys too much to do that to you

[Estelindis]

Thanks for the responses, all. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way. :-)

Like you, Sesheta, I've never had a FemShep romance Liara. I did think about it, because asari are mono-gendered, and I imagine that my FemShep tried to get her head around that too. But her heart was already given to Kaidan at that point, anyway. (To be honest, I found the fact that Liara persists after you say that you like Kaidan, even though she claimed she wouldn't if that was the case, put me off more than anything else. But she's still a sweet character.)

As for that group, I wanted to comment on it but it looks like you can only comment if you're a member... And I don't really want to join even for a minute.

Well, thanks for letting me vent!

So what's the page 1000 thing? Deciding what to do once we get there? Or how to get there?

Indeedie - my view is "If its there but I don't HAVE to take it, why not?" I don't complain about how much of an evil sod renegade Shep is because its optional, heh

And I can see both sides of the argument on Liara - I mean, she looks female, sounds female, and gets referred to as a she, but at the same time she's actually non-gendered because of how Asari are (Come to think of it, they probably resemble Barbie dolls in the downstairs area )... I mean, I can see why Lesbian groups aren't happy, cus its like "We don't get a real option, we get an option you sneaked in by the back door.

But we'll see. DA:O only straight or bisexual characters, heh, but then again, there where only 4 LI's - and in the second book, there is a gay relationship. And I understand the guy who wrote the books was heavily involved with the writing for the game.
