Manguard aims for the stars! Started at wave 4-5, lasted until the end. Also no editing was made, was too lazy on this one.
[QUOTE=Nibwoddle;35298863]As awesome as that would have been: "In 2186 during the Reaper invasion, the raloi delegation withdraws from the Citadel. Unwilling and unable to fight the Reapers, the raloi decide to isolate themselves on Turvess and destroy any satellites and observation equipment in orbit around their planet. They hope that the Reapers will see them as a pre-spaceflight civilization and spare their planet." [editline]26th March 2012[/editline] Nice missed oppurtunity/effort dodging, Bioware[/QUOTE] It's funny, because of indoctrination these news reports would probably end up killing the Raloi.
[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;35298597]They are whenever they're given for hire work. They always half ass it because they have no personal investment in the project and they know that no one will give a fuck. [editline]26th March 2012[/editline] If he's experimental then that makes Garrus singularity level theoretical nanotechnology.[/QUOTE] Yeah, vega is pretty damn boring, he has a few moments, but imo the only way he could have been good is if they had introduced him in the previous game.

Where is he even from? Did he just suddenly get introduced at the start of ME3? Is that the first time he was introduced, because if so that's so fucking random and weird.
It is.

Add this to the list of things that bugged me about the ending. When you speak to the comm officer, you can call: Miranda, Jacob, Jack, Grunt, Zaeed, Jacob, Kasumi, Cortez & Samara. People you can't call: Hannah Shepard Your own mother. You're about to make a suicidal push against a Reaper army, while your mother is in orbit, also fighting a Reaper onslaught. But nah, you better see how Kasumi is doing first. If they wanted to get around the model problem, just use a generic female admiral model, then heavily distort the hologram, claiming "comm interference" or something.

On the mission involving him in ME3, if Aralakh company dies and he lives he should join you. You are his battlemaster after all.

Just have her use words mothers use all the time for their kids.

Just had the most wacked out MP match ever. I was playing Silver on Firebase Dagger against Cerberus, and was the Turian Sentinel. My squad mates consisted of a Krogan Soldier, and two Vanguards. The Krogan left almost half way through the match (I think at wave 4), so 3 vs. Silver Cerberus. Then somehow the Human Male Vanguard got glitched under the map by the starting area. He was spazzing out under the ground and occasionally popped out and went high up above the surface, then eventually back underground. So there's me and one other Vanguard against the next half of Silver. Frustrated, I told the glitched guy he might as well leave to because he can't help us. A few moments later, I realized he was directly above/under where the LZ circle will be when we get to the final wave. I used the mic to tell the other Vanguard what the plan was (Too bad neither of them had mics), so we held out for all those waves destroying everything. Shit got intense when a Phantom would get too close and everyone was closing in on us. On a number of occasions, some Atlas's got distracted by the glitched Vanguard and were just staring down at the ground where he was, leaving us to unload on them them. We finally got to the final wave, waiting for the Shuttle, and as the time counted down, the glitched guy got downed by someone when he popped up above the surface once again. I ran to his body and revived him, worried, I thought I just fixed the glitch. Lo and behold, when he got up, he went back to his glitched position. Then as the seconds got down to 30's and 20's, an Atlas got too close and blew me and the Vanguard away. We won the match because of the glitched guy, and the whole game lasted a little over 30 minutes. Was worth every second.
[video=youtube;d3yc2U4TYxk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3yc2U4TYxk[/video] Well fuck. Back when it seemed like these arcs would have conclusions. They still did a great job of having things carry over, but smaller things like this seemed to be largely ignored.
ME3 STOP GIVING ME THE GRAAL SPIKE THROWER
A new definition for the word annoying [img]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/masseffect/images/thumb/b/be/ME3_Geth_Hunter.png/220px-ME3_Geth_Hunter.png[/img] I hate them more than any other enemy in the game.
Why does the Cata sometimes say "why are you here" and sometimes say "wake up" and sometimes say "get up", what is the point of all that work...and its the perfect ending where he says wake up, its the non perfect where he says the rest, why wake up? I'm not asleep motherfucker!

Reapers Gold with a level 1 vanguard, never again.
[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;35297393]Either EA's going to understand that Bioware needs more time to develop games that appease both critics and fans, or they're going to just tighten the noose around Bioware until they no longer exist as we remember them. Got a bad feeling this trend will just continue with Bioware.[/QUOTE] EA does that with basically every developer they buy.

[QUOTE=Ghost101;35299423][sp]I think it depends on your EMS.

I dunno I just feel like they coulda just had him say get up if he's not surprised and why are you here if he's surprised...but...they have him 3 lines...why wake up, again, i wasn't sleeping and you know it[/sp]
[QUOTE=Rusty100;35298819]How did joker have time to pick them up? And also, why did he pick them up? As far as they knew shepard was on board the citadel doing stuff. Why did they fly away? Considering they crucible was doing stuff and the mass relays were shooting out beams, wouldn't you assume it's working and not like, fly away? And he couldn't have already been in the air when it started happening, he wouldn't have just gone 'well nothings happened yet and no word from shep even though it's been like 5 mins better fly away for some reason instead of letting his squadmates hold the line ?????????????????? if joker flew away every time shep was incommunicado he would have been left for dead many times[/QUOTE] LOTS OF SPECULATION FOR EVERYONE [editline]26th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=RunawayLove;35295906]LOL son you'd be a damn fool to look at all the evidence and then say naw all that shit really happened yo. Y'all gotta learn to not take it all at face value and look for the interpretive aspects in the story.[/QUOTE] Occam's razor yo, indoctrination theory is full of holes and a much simpler explanation is that Bioware is just straight up wack at writing a coherent story sometimes
I name my MP characters after characters in the game. So.. Wrex would be Krogan Soldier and Grunt would be Krogan Sentinel? I forget.
