[QUOTE=Lankist;35436033]How the fuck old is Garrus, anyway? We know Liara is like 109, Wrex is at least a few centuries up there, Tali's in her twenties, Mordin's in his forties, all of the human characters are pretty easy to guess at. But not one clue at how fucking old Garrus is. How long do Turians live for, anyway? Am I BFF's with a ten-year-old or a 700-year-old?[/QUOTE] At least 30 since he did his mandatory service from 15-30. And Wrex was around during the Krogan Rebellions, so he is at least 1400 years old.
[QUOTE=Nibwoddle;35436052]Turian lifespan is never explained in the codex. Always bugged the shit out of me. Even the wiki page has nothing on it. [editline]5th April 2012[/editline] And Wrex is at least a millenium old, I'm almost certain.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure that other that it's mentioned multiple times that they have several hundred year lifespans. We don't know about Elcor, Volus, or Hanar, but Out of the council races + Krogan, I think they live longer than salarians and humans, but less than asari and krogan.

Sudden bout of introspection: NERDIEST CONVERSATION EVER
[QUOTE=Lankist;35436153]Sudden bout of introspection: NERDIEST CONVERSATION EVER[/QUOTE] My thoughts exactly.
what if this game wasn't more than a glorified scifi cover shooter with tacked on homosexuality to cater to the LBGT group. I can only wish.

[QUOTE=Lankist;35436182]sir as a gay mexican i would like to tell you to suck it[/QUOTE] I was unaware of that.

[QUOTE=GetBent;35436195][url]http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Turians[/url] "The lifespan of a turian is comparable to that of a human."[/QUOTE] Yeah, that's were I read it.

[QUOTE=Lankist;35436182]sir as a gay mexican i would like to tell you to suck it[/QUOTE] you should add racist to gay mexican as well. seeing as how you are a racist and have been banned for being racist
It used to have a link to the bioware forums, with a quote from someone who I assume worked on the game said that.

[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;35435898]Playing around with the [COLORCORRECTION] settings in enbseries.ini. I started off with the Cinema-Colour mod and adjusted it a bit to reduce the excessive contrast and saturation. As you can see in that image, it's certainly bright but the details got blown out and it's a touch too colorful. Currently working on balancing that and I'm seeing some great results.[/QUOTE] I meant what are the actual setting in the txt. [quote] age [/quote] Garrus is 27
Fifth repost, [QUOTE=jechtman;35381335]Forth repost, [QUOTE=jechtman;35366879] Since then it's been suggested that I get some people to co-commentate with me (majority still want it so I guess that's in) so when it's closer to the time I'll figure when the stream will start and if anybody is interested and has at least a mic feel free to contact me through Steam or PM. On the subject of music, I'll hold off some requests from playing in the playlist until they are appropriate to play (Baby Blue, Bearforce1 and Heroes have their scheduled appointments) otherwise they will be shuffled so even I won't know which song will play next (okay maybe I'll know the songs in the playlist, just not the order). So expect iconic songs from the ME OSTs, Metal Effect, Harold Budd etc in the mix. [url=http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/6WJ6H7C]Here is a link to the survey[/url], and if you have already taken it but want to add more things in [url=http://facepunch.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=86434]just PM me with what you want and what you'd like to suggest[/url].[/QUOTE] Alright, got another couple of responses and I'm thinking of a way to incorporate one of the ideas suggested for the stream (punch and kill... last enemy onscreen I must rush them, knock them down and double tap?). Still looking for somebody or some people to co-commentate. Whipping up a poster in a sec.[/QUOTE] So far... Gameplay rules: [b]*[/b] Fresh new Shepard [b]*[/b] Insanity Difficulty [b]*[/b] Viewer/Streamer choice share, after every 3 dialogue choices by viewers I get one [b]*[/b] Deliver the Hot Dickings [b]*[/b] Start of each fight I must melee an enemy to death before I use guns (non-lethal powers permited) [b]*[/b] Secret thing concerning the Quarians and Geth... [b]*[/b] Stream rules: [b]*[/b] Custom soundtrack comprised of music and genres suggested by you, with special songs played at set points in the games [b]*[/b] I am to sing a blues song reworked with Mass Effect lyrics (help me) [b]*[/b] Otherwise I'm providing voice over commentary as well as anybody else who wants to join in (seriously get to me, read on for time of livestream) The livestream for Mass Effect will start at 4/8/12 4pm UTC -0400 Central Time (9/4/12 8am UTC +12) and I'll be playing other games an hour before and at intervals.

[QUOTE=27X;35436385]I meant what are the actual setting in the txt.[/QUOTE] Where did you get that he is 27? He said he did his mandatory 15 years for the State.
[QUOTE=Melkor;35436440]Mordin's in his forties? I thought most salarians died before they even reached 40.[/QUOTE] Mordin is exceedingly old for a Salarian, and at the end of his lifespan. [sp]Hence why he joins a suicide mission and later sacrifices himself for the Krogan. He was a dead man walking anyway.[/sp]

He was a dead man walking anyway.[/sp][/QUOTE] I thought that was pretty obvious, looking at his face you can see all the wrinkles and stuff.
I've heard it said that Wrex is around 1,400 years old.
