My canon Shep died in Mass Effect 2 because fuck Mass Effect 3. (I think only Zaeed made it out of the suicide mission that run.)

[Sirus]

Huh. I thought that if any of your squad members survive, then Shep doesn't die.

You need at least 2.

My canon Shep made it through all 3 games as a soldier, and never made a Renegade choice.

Except with that guy who

Killed Thane. Because seriously fuck him.

[Sirus]

Hell yeah my Paragon Soldier brother. Sister. Whatever.

[SeriousConcentrate]

You can manipulate it so only Shepard and one other squaddie make it to Mass Effect 3; you just have to make sure only Shep, your chosen one, and Zaeed make it through the final mission, then go do Zaeed's loyalty mission and kill him at the end. I did that with Morinth and a pure Renegade Shepard just to be maximum asshole.

Also, back when I played, I too used to go mostly Paragon and only went Renegade when it was pragmatic (blowing up the taunting Krogan in Jack's loyalty mission) or funny (defenestrating the mercenary in Thane's recruitment mission).

Oh god ME talk.
I did the three on insanity, and let me say that in the first it's absolutely ridiculous how powerful the adept is. Maxed barrier is stupid (you can eat a rocket to the face and survive), singularity, levitation, and projection for crowd control which means you never get overwhelmed (actually the most dangerous thing on insanity is crowd of husks, they just do so much damage with their shockwave...). Not to mention that pistols are OP as hell with permanent marksman and you also have warp for tearing up enemy armor to help dealing with the immunity spamming enemies (which are just unkillable juggernauts without) and if you pick overload as a bonus power you can also deal with shields easily.
In the second adept is the worst class i tried (soldier,engineer, infiltrator and vanguard), because anything with a shield screws you up. You are pretty much recquired to bring with you two overload spamming companions (garrus/tali and miranda for me usually) to get through.
In 3 adept is the most fun i had because of all the biotic explosions (so satisfying and they deal huge damage) plus with bonus spell you can get flare which eliminates shields, and if you dont have the dlc just bring companions to spam overload and then go to town on eveything. Second most fun was vanguard because even on insanity charge (replenishes shields) + nova (invincibility frames) means you are unkillable (except for synch kills, but who in their right mind would charge a banshee...) and it deals a crazy amount of damage.
Soldier was fun but shooting things was not as satisfying as making everything explode. Infiltrator was OP as shit (cloak + black widow <3) but still not as fun or dynamic as adept and vanguard imho.

Now i have the urge to start another playthrough...

Short version: My zombie-shanking archer dandy dressed as a cat died in a thermonuclear explosion.

Spoiler: Long version (click to show/hide)

Said archer, named Kitty, started in a cabin in the woods and spent about a week skilling up and gathering nice equipment[Mostly fancy clothes, for their Stylish trait] and books from the nearby mansion and motel. Thing is, Kitty was far far away from any TOWNS, which meant Kitty couldn't get very much loot. Living in the woods with a small library of books dressed as a dapper catperson might be paradise in real life, but here? Kitty craves EXCITEMENT[And mutagen]. So I go out exploring, armed with a weeks provisions in plant marrow and fluid sacs. I find myself a laboratory, which opens to the keycard Kitty picked up from a dead scientist a few days back. I go in, armed with a flashlight, a combat knife, a longbow with too few arrows and various explosives Kitty found lying round on the road. I'm mostly fine, stabbing zombies and killing manhacks by shooting arrows at them. I gather a few bionics and a couple high-level chemistry skill books and stash them near the entrance. I also find a couple fursuits, which raise interesting questions about the nature of the research that was done here. Unfortunately, none of the fursuits are quite fancy enough to replace Kitty's current get-up, but I resolve to retrieve them later anyways. Science labs are actually incredibly safe to explore[Mostly, see below], because the heavy steel doors between rooms are nearly indestructible and all the enemies here don't know how to open doors. So, if you see something dangerous while peeking around a corner, you can just shut the door, drop a battery to mark the room as dangerous and then move on. Kitty was heading back down for another run after stashing some stuff and decided to go down a set of stairs that they hadn't explored yet. Thing is, the stairs down didn't actually connect to any stairs UP and Kitty fell down to the next level with no way back up. And the room Kitty was in contained a Bio-Operator. Bio-Operators are probably THE most dangerous type of zombie, barring possibly shocker hulks[If they even exist]. They know martial arts, shock you if you hit them and are incredibly fast. Kitty tries putting a few arrows in the Bio-Operator, but they just shrug it off. Normally, this is when I would pull out my backup firearm and shoot away. Thing is, Kitty lost their backup firearm at some point and I didn't notice until now. Right, I'll just toss a grenade at them then. The Bio-Operator manages to close the distance with Kitty JUST quickly enough to evade the grenade exploding behind them. Kitty tries an EMP grenade, hoping it'll disrupt the Bio-Operator's bionics. No such luck, it just explodes harmlessly. I then try pure melee combat. Despite the fact that each of my attacks hurts me and leaves me stunned, I actually get the Bio-Operator's health down to half before the mounting pain and injuries make fighting unfeasible. So I activate my final fuck you: A mininuke. See, in that crate full of explosives Kitty found on the road, there was a mininuke. Mininukes are awesome, but impractical. Awesome, because they devastate an area the size of a small house. Impractical, because their throwing range is less then the their area of effect. Since I'm certainly going to die, I might as well go out in style. The Bio-Operator nearly kills me in the three rounds it takes for the mininuke to go off. Nearly. The thermonuclear explosion vaporizes both of us and destroys the walls of the room we're in.

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead

I was so hasty to solve a puzzle that I skipped an important clue.

Trilby's Notes, a game by Yahtzee Croshaw. I don't really like adventure games, but I liked the story so much that I couldn't wait until the part 2 on the Ego Review to see what happened.


Also, I accidentally started romancing Kaidan and decided to load a save rather than risk having made an irreversible decision. Sorry, but my love interest is not going to be the most boring man on the Normandy.

Mass Effect. Kinda irritating that the dialogue options almost never match up with what Shepherd ends up saying.

IMO, Shepard is a master of conciseness and brevity when delivering a point. For me, the dialogue options give the general gist of what the speaker's intent is, instead of just saying what he's saying (because by then, that's cutting so far into concise, that Shepard would be speaking...a handful of words as a response )


So I'm a real busy person nowadays \o/
But free time = time spent on laptop, because that's where the majority of my work is (due to movie editing and making. A really important movie to be sent to sponsors, it seems ._.)
So I hit up Steam and play a gift that a friend gave me (dear goodness I've a ton of gifts that...my whole account is purely gifts alone So thankful.), and then try one of the games in a multi-game...game.

I forgot how annoying the traction or friction is here as I played it before as a flash game on Kongregate. It's like there's a total less friction with the main character, that movements on this platformer is made...difficult, especially given that the character = nearly 1 tile, and in most of the early middle to later levels, the platforms are either 1 tile in width, or 2 tiles. So jumps = SLIIIIDE > ded.
Because there are traps everywhere that wouldn't make sense if it was a logical game (We have salt slides.)
It's fun, but gah. The slipperiness doesn't help at times. It does, however, make you very mindful of the power you put in a single key tap.

...So I guess precision and fine motor control is developed.
Doesn't help that I had to spend an hour in-between-breaks doing one darn level because of those 1 tile platforms.

Can't be worse than LA Noire though, right? Like, something'll be a bit unclear so you'll doubt the statement and then Mr Professional Detective goes off on a new widow about how she's a liar and is making a big coverup.
That isn't what doubt means at all!

EDIT: Oh wow the level was changing costantly ahead of me with every single beat. I can't keep up with that, especially when my craptop struggles with running the game in a playable manner at all.

So created character, so obviously overpowered. I run into Liu Bei's group and tag along. We ended up taking Pu Yang just as Yuan Shao get's decimated by Ma Teng.

A quick bit of negotiating after taking some empty cities led me to become prefect of Jiang Xia. Then a bit of build up to get 5 groups of marksmen; then the world was my oyster. The bottom left of China was essentially untouched, Sun Jian getting wiped out early...

Long story short: Marksmen OP, solo'd all of China.

And the ending? Liu Bei apparently doesn't trust me enough, so he has me captured and executed; by FREAKING LU BU; I CAPTURE ALL OF CHINA FOR YOU AND YOU TRUST THE LEGENDARY BACKSTABBING FATHER-KILLER OVER ME?!?!

So after sitting through the ending, load game. I then transfer all the officers I've collected to Pu Yang; the capital. I then rebel, taking every city except Pu Yang with me; I then march right in, blow away a full group of 15,000-ish soldiers with my marksmen+tower combo.

Liu Bei and his brothers, Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo, practically everyone well-known and less-than-so in the Sangokushi saga had joined up. I cut off all their heads, all 127 of them.
