Do them like the Ninja Turtles.

So it's a toss-up between creepy 90s costumes and equally creepy but more modern CGI. Greeeat.

[Ray Joel Oh]

Or how about claymation?

Seriously, don't even worry about it. It's never going to happen.

*Sigh* yeah you're probably right, doesn't stop the thought of it from getting my blood pressure up though. Like that article that was floating around a while ago which listed Gerard Butler of all people as the ideal actor to play Shepard. *Deep Breath* never going to happen, never going to happen. I'm ok.

Or it could have lots of UST with Shepard and her crew.

*when you first meet Garrus*

FILM-GARRUS: Commander Shepard? Garrus Vakarian. I'm in charge of the investigation on Saren.

FILM-SHEPARD: I like men who are....in charge.

*laugh track plays*

JACK: Oh God, this crap is killing my brain!

KELLY: I think it's kind of cute!

SHEPARD: Wait, who the hell thought it would be a good idea to have me run around in one of those Asari stripper outfits while trying desperately to save the galaxy? And why is everyone in this movie staring at film-me's breasts? This is getting out of hand.

MORDIN: Scientifically impossible to survive geth attack while wearing Asari stripper outfit. No shields. No armor. Just latex.


MIRANDA: Willing suspension of disbelief, Mordin.

GRUNT: So when does the killing start?

SHEPARD: Well, the first few hours are just me, Kaidan and Ashley running around the Citadel in laps while trying to prove that Saren is a bad guy. Then we save some doctor from getting murdered by some random mercs, then we go on to Noveria to kill Matriarch Boobies - err, I mean Benezia, then we're off to Feros to save some people from a giant plant thing, then we're off to Virmire where one of my squaddies dies, and finally we go to Ilos, where it turns out the Conduit was-

GARRUS: Shepard, you're spoiling the entire story!

SHEPARD: YOU WERE THERE!

GARRUS: Oh yeah, I forgot.

Of couse Kelly would like that wouldn't she.
I wonder how the screenwriter would know about the inter-squad interactions? Maybe Joker sold off all the surveillance videos from the original Normandy for a few extra credits?
Post the link whenever you're done and I'll gladly read it.

Damn, I've had to do a lot of catching up...

Eh, I'll reserve judgement/belief of Mass Effect movie until someone else sees it. In terms of the fictional one, I haven't seen the ad yet, but I bet they will corrupt it and alter "tiny" details.

Collider, didn't recognise you with the new avatar until you brought up the turian/quarian ^^;

Hey, if he'd taken four seconds to talk to Shepard all along, instead of the C-word (gah, I can't even type it I'm so sick of them), she wouldn't have gotten desperate like that. LOL

Garrus uses the C-word on Shepard?! Damn...

Kim Shepard wrote...

The
turian who wants to name his firstborn after Shepard? I liked him.
The major downside of killing the Council is that I heard he doesn't
like Shepard if that happens... Well, and the fact that Shepard gets no
turian airquotes.

Yeah, I had to take his well-deserved abuse because of the default Shepard New Game playthrough ¬.¬

"You killed council, I don't like you,"
"I kill geth,"
"Oh, really? Hmph, fine, discount, enemy of enemy,"
"Thanks,"
"Anybody asks, I didn't give you one,"

That's the gist of it, from what I remember. The fact he's nice to you when you save the council pleases me greatly, something more turian related to look forward to, as well as the email from Lorik Qui'in.

Aww. I was sleeping, turns out my parents did realise the 3:30 ordeal ^^;

And now, we need more Garrus.

I want General Septimus on my squad. He could teach me the Drunken Master fighting style.

[Flammie]

Maybe they all thought Septimus was drunk and just fell over, and Shepard was long gone when they realised?

No skit, Xsause? I think that'd be pretty interesting.

I think Septimus actually makes a Winston Churchill quote if Wrex is there...

Eh, there's plenty of unique turians. Not as many as some other races, but there's still a plenty.

jut go to the dark star, ask the bartendet to give you a couple of drinks until you get the ryncol, accept it and you will lear the art of pissing on someones dignity while he/she is down on the toilet floor

Yep, Septimus quotes Churchill.

"I may be drunk, krogan, but you're ugly. And tomorrow I'll be sober."

Churchill's original quote was really badass, too:

BESSIE BRADDOCK: Winston, you are drunk, and what's more, you are disgustingly drunk.


CHURCHILL: Bessie, my dear, you are ugly, and what's more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly.

Oh, so you want a skit, huh? Well, okay! :happy:

*SEPTIMUS and SHEPARD are sparring.*

SEPTIMUS: Shepard, can you feel the alcohol streaming through your veins, strengthening every muscle in your body!? CAN YOU FEEL IT BURNING!?

*SHEPARD staggers awkwardly and tries to hit SEPTIMUS, but SEPTIMUS easily dodges the blow.*

SHEPARD: Hell yeah. Put more of the stuff in...the thing more stuff goes in.

*SHEPARD faints.*

really, the only turians that stand out are (aside form the "vakarian") is Li, chellick, lorik, ah yes councilor guy, palin, and the bartender who is able to smuggle illegal cargo into the citadel

The fact that Shep can down Ryncol and only have a drunken episode instead of a hospital episode makes me think she can handle a turian lover juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust fine.

Yay for innuendo Shepard!

GARRUS: Shepard, why'd you drink ryncol? You know it can kill you, right?

SHEPARD: Garrus, I'd sure like to down YOUR ryncol, if you know what I mean. *wink wink nudge nudge*

GARRUS: Yeah...riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Let me get back to these calibrations.

SHEPARD: Can I help you with your...calibrations? *wink wink nudge nudge*

*cut to the squad looking at them through ZAEED's surveillance camera thing, very disturbed.*

MORDIN: Hmm. Might result in allergic reactions. Heavy risk.

JACOB: ...but the priiiiiiiiiize.

Yeah, I think Shepard needs to chat with EDI and Zaeed about those cameras.... There are just some things that do not need to be broadcast... XD



I just finally checked out the bazaar... it's stupid. If you don't have 10000pts at the VERY least don't even bother. /sigh

So far as alien biology goes, no aliens have to adhere to the classifications here on earth. Turians and other alien races evolved on planets with different environments - including organisms to compete against (and competition is what drives evolution).

Of course thay wouldn't have to be exactly one thing or the other, belonging to an entirely different ecosystem, but it's fun to spectulate on how they might be put together.
One of the things I love about the mass effect universe is how grounded in reality it is, or at least as much as it can be and still have FTL travel and hot blue alien chicks. The dextro vs levo-based DNA thing is a really cool idea (and forced me to do extra research since I'd totally forgotten highschool chem class so win/win). I enjoy fiction which inspires me to question what it talks about and inquire further.

Hard sci-fi is always the best.  At least that's my opinion.  I mean, I love how we can't *prove* this isn't possible:
1. we could definitely get to Mars by the middle of next century; maybe we could even do it now (there was talk of a Mars mission some years back but then it got postponed or something--have to reasearch that).  The point is, are we positive there are no artifacts there?  Nope.
2. no one's been to Charon, so the burden of proof is on NASA to chip away at it and prove it's nothing more than a ball of icy rock
Then you throw in some less feasible sci-fi stuff like FTL drives and eezo and...voila!  MassEffecty-goodness!

disclaimer:  yes, I know it's made up, so don't call my therapist.  However, if you study quantum mechanics, some of the stuff that's been substantiated experimentally, that actually exists, almost defies belief.  So, maybe...there are at least three reputable, published, well-funded scientists out there seriously studying time-travel (in real life).

A Mass Effect movie with Shepard would be ridiculous. First of all, game to movie films almost, if not always, never work. Condensing 20+ hours of video game material into a 2 hour film is clearly something most/all film have failed at. Plus everyone is going to get annoyed when Shepard does not romance the person they like. People are going to get annoyed over canon debates. Yea, just a bad idea IMO.

And yet apparently a Mass Effect movie is in the making, with stereotypical beefcake John Shepard in the lead, presumably romancing Ash, or perhaps Liara if they're feeling daring. Yes, it will suck and there will be disappointment all around.

Remember: A fictional Mass Effect movie is funny, a real one is just sad.

I am completely obsessed with this franchise.  But I will NOT see that movie.  You couldn't pay me enough.

[blueL]

Well, scientificly whole Sci-Fi races idea is just... well, look: Turians, Asari, Krogans, Salarians, Drells, Quarians... everyone looks more or less human-alike. Possibility of developing a life form capable of communicating with us, moreover, looking like us, talking, eating and having sex is like... well, close to 0%.

jellobell wrote...

Though if they were to make a Mass Effect movie, how do you think they'd do Garrus? (or Turians in general). Asari are pretty simple, just paint em blue and stick on some tentacles, but Turian faces and bodies are probably too alien to use prosthetics. Garrus would probably end up having to be CGI, which would be a disaster if done wrong.

True, but CGI really is approaching perfection.  I cite District 9 and Avatar as examples.
