Mass Effect Megathread: DING DONG BANNU edition - Games

So I wake up to find double the responses, I have 435 for the survey now. Wow.. Is there anywhere else I should post the survey besides here/Reddit/BSN to get as varied results as possible?

The Indoctrination theory video has been redone. It's longer, better made and has some more points. enjoy: [video=youtube;ythY_GkEBck]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ythY_GkEBck[/video]

[QUOTE=Saza;35216958][img]http://puu.sh/lBik[/img] GOD DAMNIT I'M OKAY WITH THIS SOMEWHAT[/QUOTE] I've already gotten two of those. They're incredibly handy when your team mates are jerks.

I love playing as the krogan soldier and just heavy melee everything.

Though with their time constraint and refusal to delay the game they just go with the kind of ending we got now.

I hate meeting a really great team when I do a quickie silver challenge before breakfast, I really wanna stick with them but I really gotta eat too.

[QUOTE=Saza;35216958][img]http://puu.sh/lBik[/img] GOD DAMNIT I'M OKAY WITH THIS SOMEWHAT[/QUOTE] I've got 4 medigels, 3 ammo packs and 3 missiles for MP. You'll end up chewing through your stocks quicker now.

Ones is a remake of the ending the other is an explanation of the current one.

[QUOTE=Zet;35216971]I've already gotten two of those. They're incredibly handy when your team mates are jerks.[/QUOTE] I'd be happier if I had any decent weapons besides the Widow and Graal Spike Thrower, both of which don't work to well on Silver+ for me because they're so goddamn low level

Gonna answer that romance survey now.

[QUOTE=jechtman;35217075] Krogans in a nutshell.[/QUOTE] I forgot how ridiculous the film grain is in ME1 :v:

The Jacobmancers on BSN are funny. They're absolutely pissed that Jacob went after another woman after not talking to Shepard for 6 months and cannot accept that most people would move on after 6 months of no contact. Lets not forget he likely he assumed you died on Earth when the Reapers invaded.

Just doesn't have the same ring as "Talimancer".

Every other character waited, and in the case of Liara (without LotSB), Kaidan, and Ashley even longer.

[QUOTE=Cone;35217274]Is there really nothing we can call them other than just add "-mancer" on the end of the character's name? Just doesn't have the same ring as "Talimancer".[/QUOTE] That's what they call themselves.

Just donated to the Retake ME child's play fund. At least some good is coming from the Bioware community, in the form of $71,000 for charity.

[QUOTE=Greeneyes;35217299]Just donated to the Retake ME child's play fund. At least some good is coming from the Bioware community, in the form of $71,000 for charity.[/QUOTE] Actually it is $71,241 as of when this post was posted.

[QUOTE=GetBent;35217283]I don't know. Every other character waited, and in the case of Liara (without LotSB), Kaidan, and Ashley even longer.[/QUOTE] Kaiden and Ashley likely moved on though, I think that if they met the right people in those two years they would be doing the same thing. "Uhhh Shepard, hey... you know that thing we had? Well I'm with someone else now." For Liara 2 years is nothing, not to mention she did almost fall for someone else in the two years. Feron, however he got kidnapped by the shadow broker.

[QUOTE=Cone;35217274]Is there really nothing we can call them other than just add "-mancer" on the end of the character's name? Just doesn't have the same ring as "Talimancer".[/QUOTE] It is because of the "b" interrupting a fluid word. Jacomancers is a better alternative.

I have to admit it would've been pretty funny if Tali moved on with someone else. The rage would've been completely uncontrollable.

Can someone explain all the talk of "canon Shepard". Maybe I missed something but where does canon come from in a choose your own adventure story?

[QUOTE=QueenMelanie;35217310]Actually it is $71,241 as of when this post was posted.[/QUOTE] And it's now exactly $71,464.25, I'm sorry for rounding down.

If anyone remembers from the recent ME3 stream, I gave a link to unlock S/S romance for Kaidan in ME1 that carried through ME2/Me3 in save games. I'm thinking of doing a stream of all 3 games with that preset sometime this summer. Anyone up for that?

[QUOTE=superdinoman;35217340]Can someone explain all the talk of "canon Shepard". Maybe I missed something but where does canon come from in a choose your own adventure story?[/QUOTE] Some players have a particular Shepard that they pick as their "main" run, which is what they call their "canon Shepard" Unless you're talking about something else..?

[QUOTE=superdinoman;35217340]Can someone explain all the talk of "canon Shepard". Maybe I missed something but where does canon come from in a choose your own adventure story?[/QUOTE] It's the default you start a new game with. (Some choices are made for you when you start a new game in Mass Effect 2 or 3.)
