You are one creative sicko, Xsause.

Also, I have suspected for some time that Mordin has a thing for turians. You see the way he paid special attention to Garrus when you first meet him at the clinic? XD

You know, I'm actually supposed to write a MaleShep/Mordin slashfic for a request. Among the usual info the requester gave me (pairing, amount of crackiness, general information about the way they want the fic to go) was a little bonus point challenge. One of the bonus point objectives was, and I quote:

"Make it so that Shepard (for whatever reason, maybe food poisoning or something?) can't do Samara's loyalty mission and Mordin is forced to take his place and seduce Morinth. Oh, and when he enters Afterlife's VIP area, MAJOR BONUS POINTS IF YOU MAKE PRACTICALLY EVERY BAR PATRON (BOTH MALE AND FEMALE!) HIT ON HIM. Yes, including that one turian harassing that asari stripper."

And do you want to know the worst thing? I'm actually writing it as we speak. ARGH.

It's just like kglaser said. I am a loveable sicko. 

I love you for all of this, Xsause. And I am sooooo looking forward to that fic!

About the turian insignias - I'm not sure if the colonies are actually supposed to be on the planets we find the insignias on. It seems unlikely, because one of the planets had a lot of snow (possibly even a cold hazard), and even though Palaven is supposed to be hot, I doubt they would live on a planet with a level two heat hazard. I remember that one specifically because it gave me so much trouble trying to examine the tattoos on the corpse. Run on top of it (yes, you need to stand on the corpse to position the camera just right - it's very sad), swing the camera around, run back to the Mako, repeat.

Nihlus' page on the Wiki does say "born in a small mercenary outpost outside Hierarchy space." So... it's possible, but we may never know for sure where Bostra Outpost is. I also didn't notice how similar Nihlus' and Septimus' tattoos were. Maybe that other corpse had Septimus' colony (it was definitely a colony, not an outpost) tattoos, but I would have to check again. I'm not sure if I got a good enough view of that part of his face. By the way, what color are Septimus' eyes? I can't tell from the Wiki page.

I still can't explain that turian corpse that looked human though. Unless the fringe and leg spurs (Is that what you call them?) are made of something that decays faster. I couldn't get a close-up of that one to make a better comparison.

@ Xsauce: Your screenshots are awesome. Li's happy face is my favorite. (And that's what I did on my first playthrough, talk to Lorik first because I didn't know where Parasini was. It totally messed up my second playthrough for poor Lorik when I found her first and got confused. But I made up for it with the third playthrough, where my MaleShep told Parasini that she annoyed him.)

Also, Mordin staring at Kuril... I did not notice that before. xD

Kuril looks like a dried peach. Old man with wrinkles.

Garrus looks young and peachy. YUMMY

Wonder what the turian equivalent of going grey would be.

[Xsause]

Not Garrus-related, but I discovered two weird glitches while doing the Jack mission.

First of all:



(yeah, laugh at Shepard's original name)

You know that when you start a NG+, you lose all Paragon/Renegade points you gained in your previous playthrough so you have to start all over, right?

Well, this Shepard didn't lose her Paragon points. I've only just done the Convict mission, so I'm not that far into the game and there's no way my Paragon score should be this high. But now it's almost maxed out. WTH?

And secondly (this one's REALLY weird):



Jacob disappeared from the Normandy. I don't know what happened, I just got back from Purgatory, walked into the armory to talk to him, but...no Jacob. He's just not there. Where did he go? Maybe he went to the engine room to *cough* "spill some drinks" *cough* with Miranda. That's the most likely explanation.

[kglaser]

This Xsause screenie is one of the most adorable turian shots I've ever seen:

D'awwwww

Also, it should be preserved for posterity...every so often, someone asks us what a turian smile looks like.  This grin is so obvious, it should be the prime example.

Guys have to poop too, you know.

Here, I've cropped the image a bit so you can see it better.

Good!  How's Taliland today?  I have to stop by later.

Xsause, would you mind making me a banner with one of those Li closeups that says something appropriate...I don't know, maybe "Happy Li is Happy" or "I Support Turian Smiles in ME3"?  I would be all
TIA

Garrus always looks so badass in that picture, Andaius. A little intimidating even. o_o

(I like)

[Kim Shepard]

I hadn't heard of those two glitches before. Interesting. I would probably be conflicted about the Paragon/Renegade one though - I wouldn't want my game to have a glitch, but it would beat the annoying new Charm/Intimidate system. xD

That Li screenshot with the smile and the head-tilt is adorable.

I think I saw on deviantart someone make a Garrus face using hard felt paper or something that looks like that. It looked cool, but it wasn't realistic.

This?

Almost as creepy as that Tali blow up doll, almost.

omg this is so funny. 
 and a tali blow up doll?
that sounds hilarious! do you have the pic?

I'd rather not look at that doll ever again. You can find it fairly easy if you search "Tali Doll" on google, but be warned, intense mental scars are sure to follow. 

[janeym27]

Was it actually a 'sex doll', though? I saw the pics and assumed it was some kind of lame manniquin.



The Garrus mask isn't creepy, I wouldn't say. It's costume and therefore has a practical purpose. Wearing it to go to the shops and shouting "Impressive!" or "Scratch one!" every few minutes: that would be creepy. lol

I have another plausible explanation:

Shepard finally found the airlock.

And adorable Li is adorable!

@ Kim Shepard: Yeah, I don't think the outpost insignias have anything to do with the planets you actually find them on. I think it's just a case of a turian ship from a colony crashing on that planet, or a member of a turian expedition dying on that planet.

OMG!



Soooo funny!

[battlechantress]

That's... creepy. I'm not sure I'd want Garrus drinking anything from one.

[kglaser]

Frozen Gabby daiquiri, anyone?



...OK, I'm sorry. I think Garrus is frowning at me.

[ciaweth]

So, we've seen how turians smile...do we have pictures or video of anything specific they do when they're unhappy, apart from not-smiling?

Garrus's body language in the final turndown of the romance scene comes to mind.
Now I'm a sad.
