[QUOTE=Delta616;34790709]Anybody know a good place to buy an N7 Themed Helmet to match the armor?[/QUOTE] If you got a motorcycle helmet, you could either saw off the visor below the slit for your eyes and get some plastic to replace it, or just place something over it up to the eye slit.

[QUOTE=Cone;34790774]If you got a motorcycle helmet, you could either saw off the visor below the slit for your eyes and get some plastic to replace it, or just place something over it up to the eye slit.[/QUOTE] I was considering doing something like that, assuming I can't find a nice replica to buy on the internet.

[QUOTE=Jackald;34790848]So, uh, where do I download his rainmeter skin?[/QUOTE] Don't think the download is still up, think the facepuncher who put all the stuff up has had all his files removed, it was over a year ago. Here's some others you might like though: [url]http://customize.org/rainmeter/skins/85885[/url] [url]http://rickf7666.deviantart.com/art/Mass-Effect-Rainmeter-Skin-270458946[/url] [url]http://customize.org/rainmeter/skins/86028[/url]

[QUOTE=Delta616;34790784]I was considering doing something like that, assuming I can't find a nice replica to buy on the internet.[/QUOTE] I don't think you're likely to if I'm honest. Plus this way you can probably save a good amount of money, get something you know that you'll comfortable in, and have an entertaining project for the summer.

And I am not worried about saving money. Also PAX East is in April, I got less than 2 months.

A deus ex machina is where something unseen and unexpected suddenly comes to solve the situation. To quote TVTropes "a Deus ex Machina is an outside force that solves a seemingly unsolvable problem in an extremely unlikely (and, usually, anticlimactic) way." It means "god from the machine" where in greek plays a god would be lowered down from a machine and then just explain how the story ended.

There's one more thing you have forgotten about this term - it's [b]common[/b] thing. We have to explain stupid thing. And we explain it by this single supernatural bullshit, then we reuse this explaination as many times as we want it. Rouge spectre, asari matriarch, rachni, Cerberus, god knows what else. Also, scientific and cultural terms are sometimes used a bit outside of their original meaning, becoming an idiom.

Asari Adepts are [B]RAPE. [/B] Stasis immobilizes all but turrets and Atlases (Yes, even Phantoms), and combining with spamming throw creates multiple biotic explosions that can take out most infantry in 2-3 hits. Get Stasis bubble and you can completely block off paths to enemies and immobilize groups together to wipe them out in a single biotic explosion. It can get a bit glitchy though, I've had enemies get stuck in the map then start walking around invisible and shooting you. Oh, and I managed to get instakilled by a Phantom while it was trapped in Stasis (It somehow used its coup de grace attack while in my stasis bubble :v:)

[QUOTE=Lambeth;34790060][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/qGuMN.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] So basically, mix red sand into your shots of Yakult (a pro-biotic yogurt drink), and stand well back from whoever drinks it.

[QUOTE=mercurius;34786226]That's so stolen of /v/. I read it before that bloke posted his version on BSN. I'll try to see if I still have the screens. So I'm not imagining that it originated there.[/QUOTE] All deden does is troll and steal other people's stuff. Basically busomjack 2.0, and of course he's allowed free reign of the boards.

Sounds like a horrible person, that user. And knowing that he has free reign at the moment makes it worse.

Wow that was a horrible game. Silver difficulty, I doubled second places score by having 70k points (he had about 30k), one of the players was a level 2 adept to start and I was lone survivor in extraction. It's the first game I've had where atlas' and guardians were swarming over the extraction point. I was completely befuddled, since generally I play with people who can take down an Atlas. At one point there were two turrets out in the open and I considering the vanguard perhaps one of the worst classes to take down turrets, and there were completely cutting me off and no one shot at them, they just left them there so I was stuck for a whole wave fighting them.

[QUOTE=Sharp_Shooter;34788328]You can get the non-human classes in the Veteran Crates. As for the weapons, I doubt the MP demo has every single weapon that's going to be in the full game.[/QUOTE] [sp]Considering there's almost 60 not counting heavies you'd be correct[/sp]

[QUOTE=gudman;34790659] Also it's strange, by the time of ME2 Cerberus are well aware of this danger. But yet Illusive man stupidly repeat his past dumb mistake with [sp]derelict reaper[/sp], what kind of dumb motherfucker he is?[/QUOTE] This. I thought about it the other day and forgot to post it, but this has happened before, if they don't explain the shit out of how this happened it's going to be really annoying. [sp]Also, how does a group of Cerberus getting indoctrinated on the collector station = all of Cerberus indoctrinated?[/sp]

[QUOTE=benzi2k7;34790577]hahaha, i love the reactions to this so much. "this accent is so weird and stupid, why can't it be a normal (white american) accent!"[/QUOTE] I was honestly expecting something similar to Vigil, or even the character to speak through physical action alone.

[QUOTE=Lambeth;34789918]Bioware are trying to find a balance between a cinematic and engaging plot while still giving people a chance to mess around and make changes to people and the world around you. Not surprised that not everyone is happy.[/QUOTE] No, they aren't, and they've upfront about that. The choices that stick are personal to-other-people choices. The rest does not change the flow of the game's presentation of goals nor how they are achieved, all they do is demark a change circumstance for a very specific point of dialog or art. Wrex and Wreav are Krogans, they both basically want the same things but say it differently. [editline]20th February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Fables;34791615]I was honestly expecting something similar to Vigil, or even the character to speak through physical action alone.[/QUOTE] Personally I like it, and I like the actor.

I don't even like the fact that we're now working with a [sp] Prothean [/sp] to start with, so I honestly don't care about his voice.

[QUOTE=Fables;34791764]I don't even like the fact that we're now working with a[sp] Prothean[/sp] to start with, so I honestly don't care about his voice.[/QUOTE] Probably a good idea to spoiler tag that.

[QUOTE=Fables;34791764][sp]I don't even like the fact that we're now working with a Prothean to start with, so I honestly don't care about his voice.[/sp][/QUOTE] Spoiler that maybe? Also I would like to ask why?

[QUOTE=Semaru;34788977]I still can't understand how BioWare could forget to make chat for Multiplayer. And writing through "say" command is inconvenient because messages are on screen only for short time and there is no chat history[/QUOTE] What are you talking about? There's voice chat. I can't get text chat to work though. But still voice chat is perfect.
