198 Distinct psionic abilities.
Hey, I might start using psionics now. That's a lot of psionic abilities.

Passive Kinetics gets... 54 of those abilities, so you won't be left out.
...Holy mother, that is a lot. Woo! Please tell be I'll be able to crush sculls with good passive kinetic rolls with the right abilities.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Yeah, depending on the evolutions you take you can take and deal some serious damage.

Turn is in the contemplative phase, which reminds me... When might we expect a turn out of your RTD Tarran?

*Sigh*

Yes yes there are evolutions for permanently altering a mind, allowing you to make your porn attack into a permanent state of mind rather than a brief psychic assault. Another for overloading normal sensations, so you could give somebody a heart attack with your porn. Another for creating delayed trigger psionics that you could use. "Fruity oaty bars..."

Ehhh...

Today, I guess. I would've put it up last night if it wasn't for me SOMEHOW pressing Alt+Left Arrow resulting in Firefox going back a page because for SOME REASON someone thought that was a good idea to make a key binding like that. However, that shouldn't happen ever again since I've disabled that too along with backspace-backwards navigating.

WELL WATCH IT ASAP. While it may not be the best of movies in some people's opinion, it's related to the Firefly series and THAT ALONE IS ENOUGH TO MAKE IT AWESOME ALONG WITH NATHAN FILLION BEING THE MAIN STAR SO WATCH FIREFLY AND SERENITY OR I WILL PUNCH YOUR SOUL.

I would've thought for sure that you were familiar with it, Taricus. Mass Effect tends to reference Firefly/Serenity here and there such as Joker talking about pulling a Crazy Ivan. ^^ No but seriously I'm backing Tarran up on this one, you should watch the series. It's really quite good and I am, of course, a Malcolm Reynolds fan. :3 How can you not love a character who, when confronted with a hostage situation, shoots the bad guy before he even finishes his first sentence?

Oh man, I loved that scene, 'specially the first time I watched it because i was going into thinking "Oh god, please not the long overly dramatic hostage sequence..." And then Mal shoots him without even slowing down. I must have just stared at my screen for fifteen seconds processing the sheer awesome of that.

Then there was the scene at the end of trainjob where Mal is convincing Niska henchman, priceless.

Personally my favorite reference from Mass effect is not from firefly, but from the hitchhikers to the galaxy, where Shepherd is getting scanned again. Spending a year dead for tax reasons made me laugh and cheer on the development team.

Serenity is awesome, the Operative is the best villain. Ever. Anyone who disagrees will be struck in the soul, from here to to seoul, from the force of my kneejerk counter criticism.

I was raised mostly on video games, so I wouldn't have gotten most of those references anyway.

Please allow me to express my concern for your immortal soul Taric...

1. Have you read the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy in its complete form? (The last book doesn't count as it wasn't written by Adams)

2. You do know what Monty Python is, right?
