Yes! A Valiant! Also if you got the Eagle..feel bad. It hits the strength of a wet sock and the sound it makes when it shoots even reflects this :v:

[QUOTE=MiX-A;35424740][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ME0jx.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Wouldn't you rather he was actually working than wasting time on silly public appearances?
[QUOTE=Darth_GW7;35424766]Wouldn't you rather he was actually working than wasting time on silly public appearances?[/QUOTE] considering he just got done destroying mass effect no i'd rather have confirmation that his head has been removed from his ass first.
[QUOTE=Darth_GW7;35424766]Wouldn't you rather he was actually working than wasting time on silly public appearances?[/QUOTE] I don't wish ill for the man, but it would be nice if he stepped up the plate and answered the questions we want answers to. He is the project director after all.

[QUOTE=TheLolrus;35422440]I'm not sure why, but I've now received three Victory and Commendation packs. Crusader II and Hurricane I. Here's hoping EA doesn't decide to ban me over it. It seems every time I save in SP I get a new pack. Everyone get on this NOW.[/QUOTE] I can confirm this is the case for me too, but I'm too scared to redeem the boxes
[QUOTE=MiX-A;35424948][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/wiuyu.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] While that does seem to be a trend, I don't think it's completely accurate. How invested you are in the series will alter how you see the ending, as well as how versed you are in "proper" narrative structure. But it is true; the more you know about the Mass Effect universe, the more horrifying the ending becomes.
More whining I see.

Alright, I have a question about joker. Well, I just woke up this morning only to find that both my arms below the elbow had fallen asleep, and both my alarm was going off and my fan was on. After flailing around a little, both I got turned off. Needless to say I almost fell out of my bed and broke my neck in doing so. SO! Since Joker has super fragile bones, does he sleep in a special harness so he doesn't roll over and break his wrist or something in his sleep?
I thought the only real problem he had was his legs (at least he said so in ME1) then again the "watch the arm" stuff and everything

"Here's a good conundrum for you to figure out: If "the created will always rebel against the creator", then why didn't the Reapers rebel against the Catalyst? It made the Reapers and controls them, right?" that's actually a really good point.

"Here's a good conundrum for you to figure out: If "the created will always rebel against the creator", then why didn't the Reapers rebel against the Catalyst? It made the Reapers and controls them, right?" that's actually a really good point.[/QUOTE] Because the Catalyst may just be a machine dumbo. A machine whose purpose it was to ensure and maintain that the path the reapers succeed in their cycle. But that brings up the point why it could be attached to the crucible and used as a weapon against them. [sp] But 2/3 of the options result in in the reapers being 'controlled', or otherwise being told to leave. The third option could have been a failsafe command to shut them down if a organic being found themselves in control of the entire weapon. Notice how the reapers don't explode when the red energy flies all over the place. They just topple over with the energy swarming all around them, much like what happens when you overload or do that electronic bursty thing to the geth. This could also mean that the pulse sent to the relays was also part of that controlled shut down of everything. And why synthetics (but not all synthetics apparently) would be 'destroyed'.Still doesn't resolve the notion of everyone either being stranded or separated for a long, long time. [/sp]
[QUOTE=Framperton;35425684]Because the Catalyst may just be a machine dumbo.[/QUOTE] And that's relevant. . . how?
How come the Reapers look disgusting, with tubes and shit all over the place, but synthesis makes regular people with glowy green circuitry? The actual synthesis ending: everyone is turned into horrible monstrosities, like husks or marauders.
[QUOTE=Framperton;35425684]Because the Catalyst may just be a machine dumbo.[/QUOTE] So that means he must have rebelled against HIS creator, in which case he is a huge hypocrite douchebag, just trying to keep the robo-brethren down.
Sovereign is best Reaper
I wonder, if garrus dies in me2 who takes his place in me3 on palaven etc?
Hell the Rannoch reaper was cooler then Harbinger simply for its voice. Still nothing beats Sovereign's voice. The best villain voice ever. It just emanates EVIL.
[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;35425708]And that's relevant. . . how?[/QUOTE] Because the quote from the game, if I'm not mistaken was synthetics rebelling against organics as a frame of reference. Not just 'created rebelling against creators'. The reapers indoctrinated people and created soldiers that you could still call organic to some extent that were incapable of rebelling against them while under their control. I realize that part of the argument is pretty weak because of the whole queen episode, but that was under unique circumstances.
How come I never get to lay the smack-down on Harbinger? Mono a mono, except I'm in a giant robot. That would have been legit. Or terrible. Or both. I guess I would have settled for Normandy vs. Harbinger, but then it would just seem like a repeat of Mass Effect 1.
[QUOTE=Skyward;35425800]Hell the Rannoch reaper was cooler then Harbinger simply for its voice. Still nothing beats Sovereign's voice. The best villain voice ever.

[QUOTE=Framperton;35425828]By the way, how do we know it was Harbinger at the very end? I've heard people say it was him a few times. Did I miss something along the way?[/QUOTE] uhhhh giant glowing yellow eyes how could you have possibly missed that

I guess I would have settled for Normandy vs. Harbinger, but then it would just seem like a repeat of Mass Effect 1.[/QUOTE] Yeah, there is literally no sign of him except at the end, where he literally 'drops in' for a visit. Also, did anyone feel bad for that one reaper in the [sp]best[/sp] ending? The one who gets its little legs blown off? Even if they won now, it would just float in space for the rest of its existence. It wouldn't be able to land and walk around on planets like the other reapers.
[QUOTE=Framperton;35425828]By the way, how do we know it was Harbinger at the very end? I've heard people say it was him a few times. Did I miss something along the way?[/QUOTE] Harbinger has a distinct design, most notably GIANT GLOWING EYES.
