  1. Well, mission finished, and

     

     

    Went with the Paragon path. Not worth risking the Krogan support, which would also risk the Turian support, or having to kill Mordin, which seemed to be implied by the Dalatrass.

     

    Speaking of Mordin,

    Going up there to fix what he himself worked on, and all the while singing that song...I genuinely did cry. Kudos to Bioware - I generally keep to the MST3K mantra, few pieces of art/media/entertainment/etc. can bring me to tears. I am genuinely, provably more emotionally involved in Mass Effect than most films I've seen, or books I've read, et al.

     

    It probably helped that I loved Mordin, too - managed to dethrone Garrus as my favourite, and with one less game, too.

     

  2. No, Wrex does not find out. I don't think the war assets make a huge difference, especially since some Salarians join you anyway (the STG gives their full support, especially if Kirrahe survived). And not sure if you're just saying Albatross to make fun of her, but it's Dalatrass. And no, you can't trick the Dalatrass.Here's what I would do without saying anything: Do the paragon thing for this mission, then look up a video of the renegade option. You will be so glad that you did the paragon version.

    ~U_K~

     

     

    It was a bit mocking, but more than that, because I had trouble remembering her actual name, other than that it sounded like albatross. Either way, one for Paragon.

     

  3. Thanks for the well-wishes guys. Outside of when I'm watching football or playing guitar, it's been about all I can do to keep in good spirits(Especially since the weather has made it hard to do anything outside), so it means a lot to me, even if it's over the internet. :)

     

    On the bright side, so far, other than the pain that's going to be taking care of the bookcases, and some mold on one of the wings of a little $5 die-cast TIE fighter - which should come right off without permanent damage since it's hard for mold to hurt metal, especially if it's the titanium the model purports - it doesn't seem like much of anything worthwhile got damaged, so once the fans dry the concrete, it's mainly going to be the back-and-forth to take all this stuff and the moldy carper/pads to the dump, sorting through what stays and gets thrown out, and moving everything not-damaged back into place that's going to be the headache from here-on. That, and replacing the couch, which is abut 30 years old and has all the support of a beanbag chair, without the comfort.

  4. ME1 was slower-paced than ME2. It was more of an RPG in the gameplay sections(Especially if you, like me, have a strange drive to do literally every sidequest in the universe) and focused on developing the universe and characters, whereas ME2 was much more oriented to the TPS aspects in gameplay, and since the characters were mostly already introduced(As awesome as Garrus is, it's not a coincidence three of the best-developed characters in it were the returning characters, and all the ones that fell flat were all new), focused more on the individual character relationships and expanding the characters in the story.

     

    ME1 had to introduce you to everyone and the universe around you, and teach you the elements Bioware's famous for. With those all established, ME2 could go "Alright, here's the motley crew. You know Garrus, Tali, and Joker, these are the new guys. You know the heart and soul of our games already. Now lets cut straight to the gameplay, and get to know the characters a little better."

     

    As for the clunkiness, that's just natural with a sequel - they learned a bit about what did and didn't work, what the demographics did and didn't like in ME1(On that note, be prepared for the Mako - it's a riot to watch someone drive, but dear god those physics are messed up, while I do miss planet exploration, I don't miss driving it), and fix those problem areas up a little bit.

  5. Oooor you could just get the dlc that allows you to make all the major choices witout ME.If your Mac can take DLC, that is.

     

    Main problem with that is that I'm pretty sure most Windows emulators can't use the internet, so it can't get it through there, and, well, it took months to make ME2 work, I don't want to wait months to get ME3 working. Especially since in a few months after getting it, I'll be in college, and won't have much time for a game that in-depth.

     

    But then you have to pay even more extra

     

    Extraception?

  6. *shrug* The whole reason I'm buying them again in the first place is to play the entire series straight-through with a consistent Shepard after how much Generic McAwfulchoices Shepard in ME2 sucked and made awful choices. Which leaves PC, which still doesn't work as hoped, or 360.

  7. Wait wait wait, you're supposed to calibrate it face-down?

     

    I have had maybe a handful of issues, but that explains so many of them.

     

    Honestly, I think that Skyward Sword just had the misfortune of coming out in the US around the same time as Skyrim. Being a big pro-motion control game, it was destined to get a ton of criticism from traditionalists, but coming out at the same time as Skyrim gave them enough core gameplay/setting similarities to point at it and go "Why can't you be more like that?", despite the fact that changing all the "issues" would leave you with a new Elder Scrolls game not sure why its parents named it Zelda.

     

    Not to drag on Skyrim - it too is an excellent game - but I just think that timing happened to be perfect to give the critics of motion controls plenty of ammunition.

  8. Cam Newton's MVP simply because I don't want to go with the cliche Rodgers-Brees picks. :P Plus he's had one of the best rookie seasons in NFL history, he's given us a preview of a force to be reckoned with in the next few years.

     

    As for Tebow, the team went from 1-4 without him to in the playoffs with him, the transformation, even if they've been falling lately, has been so great to watch, especially from someone who completely spits on the mold of guys like Brees and Manning, that I just didn't feel it'd be complete without him. Those seven comebacks were some of the best football all year.
