So these past couple of days I've once more tried my hand at arranging some new musical compositions. For a change of pace from some of the other pieces I've compiled please feel free to listen to the latest entry "Succur (Promised Land)". Below you'll find a link to my YouTube channel. Comments are welcome and I hope you enjoy if you choose to listen.

Do you use Finale, Sibelius, Capella...?

Negative. I use Music Maker 15 and Sound Essentials vol. 6.

I'm tempted to plop down the money for FL 9 Studio Fruity Edition. Have you heard/read/seen anything regarding that product and if so, what were your impressions of it? What about the three software packages you mention above?

I don't compose enough to make any sort of judgement such as that. I've used Finale a few times myself, but I haven't compared it to any others, so I can't really say. One of my old high school professors uses Sibelius religiously, but other people I know prefer Finale and Capella in the same manner. As for FL 9, I have never used it and know no one who has, so I can't give any feedback regarding that as well. I was just curious though because I do know well that Finale and Sibelius don't have very good instrument emulators as they are merely composing software, and I was impressed by how realistic the music sounded (I found it rather improbable that you had a full orchestra at your disposal, though you never do know when on the internet ).

But Tali is in the box, and she wants you.

Ohh, well in that case..
*just about to get in the box*
wait... how can that box be unhappy if Tali is inside it....

Remember to do above, fellow Talifanatics.

 Woops! Thanks for the reminder!

I love this pic. This was also the last time she slept in her pod. If they got in a fight shepard went to the pod, not Tali.

See, I see their suits more representative of what they would wear than what they actually look like, but your theory is no more or less valid than mine since both are invalid in BW's eyes. 

Acutally something that stuck out to me was the sameness of the suits that all the quarians wore. Then again. to quarians perhaps a tiny variation means alot more. When I look at a pic of a paintball team in uniform with masks on, I can tell every member apart. Most pepole who don't play paintball they look exactly the same to them.

I saw that more as a limit on development time/money.  I would assume all quarian's outfits would be decorated as much and as uniquely as Tali's.  But Bioware just can't be bothered to go through that much specific details for every quarian npc.

Hey all.  For your delectation and/or disgust: The prologue to my Tali fanfic is complete!  It's up on fanfiction.net and in my blog here. 

I figured a prologue should set up for the readers how I prefer to play the ME games.  The story take place between the games, and the prologue serves as a little primer to show the choices my Shepard made during ME1.

Read and enjoy.  I enjoyed writing it, and look forward to taking it places both planned and unplanned.

Comments, criticism, etc., very welcome.  Until next time: Keelah se'lai, and I give you:

A Semiotics of Loss: Prologue

For those who missed it, this fanfic is dumbfoundingly good. 

Can't friggin wait for the rest

Thank you very much.  It's all because of Tali.  BioWare hit this one out of the park.  I love to daydream about Mass Effect, and I hope some of it looks good on paper.  I think it's fascinating how she changes between the games.  My fanfic will develop my own ideas about how she changed and why.  I'm sure I'll learn alot on the way, and maybe Tali will to.

in Mass Efect Ascention, they loved their colors and the differences in them. Their culture is colorful and they all look different. it is probably a money issue

You're very welcome and I share your sentiment.  Mass Effect is exactly the reason I'm looking to become a game designer and a writer.  And I agree, Bioware did an exceptional job on Tali this time around and really made her feel like the one of the most "human" characters I've ever seen in a game.

Hehehe! Cheers Felipe. Aye, I haven't had the pleasure of performing (vocal soloist - baritone) with a full orchestra at my back since my days as a university undergraduate performing a Bach piece. I'm very pleased with the sound quality of most of the material provided by Magix in the two aforementioned software programs. There are some software stability issues now and again but I've learned some tricks to get around them when they lock up.

That's a good cover for the real reason: lack of space for extra texture resources XD

Can't it be both though?  Obviously the first step is complete functionality, but they've been wearing them for hundreds of years, that stopped being a concern a long time ago.  I look at something like the shawl, and can't find any other explanation for it than a proxy for hair.  Not like its beneficial in any way, otherwise the men would wear one as well.  I just don't see why they would randomly settle on purple for no reason, they had a vote?

Of course my theory doesn't mean much in the long run, but that's the fun part about speculation.  In the end, none of it matters, just a fun way to waste time 

I just thought of something regarding the prevalence of purple face masks: Rannoch's sun is orange, and purple filters would block most of the orange light, so it could be simply to reduce light input. And this in turn could be why their eyes seem to glow, though this frankly seems rather counterintuitive, and I haven't thought of a concrete reason as to why except it's easier for us, the players, to identify with characters when we can 'see' their eyes because of our human instincts (we generally don't trust people who don't show their eyes, and I suppose that could be extended to other races as well).

The only reason the suits all look the same except for variations in color--except of course for Tali's--is because BW's art team didn't have enough resources (read meatsacks (read artists)) to give each individual quarian a unique wardrobe. They only made Tali's unique so that she would stand out because she is one of the main characters. In reality (well, if the ME universe were real), each quarian would personalize their envirosuits to their liking.
