I think I saw movie about that once.

It ended with humanity enslaved by robots.

The Matrix was about a video game company launching their games into space?

Speaking of Bioware's weird marketing stuff, any mention of the UK alien petition on the BSN gets locked for being spam, leading me to believe that EA is being impersonated with this. That, or the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing.

Also, it's not so much as "launched to space" as is "strapped to weather ballons".

But the first one is more dramatic.

Anyone up for a match?

It will be just one for me, though.

so, i tried out the Mattock on my turian sentinel. Get this, between the Turian having +55% weapon stability, and the assault rifle mod that gives +70% stability, the mattock now has negative recoil. That's right, the gun kicks downwards when I fire it.

bit of an oversight on Biowares part. Back to using the Avenger for me.

Sorry about earlier, Fake. My connection at college has been rather shoddy lately. I thought I could get a stable couple of hours, but every time the connection drops, I get kicked off.

In other news, earlier today a man was killed by a falling copy of Bio Ware video game Mass Effect 3....

It would be hilarious. But more importantly, it would give people fodder for the "video games kill people" argument in a more literal way.

Phew. Next time I get some time, I'm going to start Arrival, the only thing I have left.

56 hours and 39 minutes in.

Also I did all the N7 missions in rapid succession, thinking I'd be able to go to the Shadow Broker Base and pick up about two dozen deliveries at once. There were two. :(

Maybe the game takes it into account.

It's not over. Not yet.

Thoughts on enemy types:

Centurions are just troopers with a little more beef. Nothing scary.

I eat nemeses for breakfast.

Phantoms are tough, but manageable as long as I'm not getting swarmed.

Turrets? Nova > Heavy melee > Charge > Nova can take one out as long as I can reach it before it starts firing. Otherwise, it's evil.

Guardians? Run away! Run away!

Centurions are functionally just Assault Troopers with a slightly stronger gun and twice as much health (due to having shields), sure, but they launch smoke grenades which keep you from targeting, and are good at rushing you. Normally not too big of a problem, but on Gold they pretty much replace normal troopers entirely. You'll be wondering why there's three fully-shielded Centurions that just spawned right next you and shooting the crap out of you while dumping grenades on your position while you can't see anything. Still, the worst enemies to me are turrets, since they keep you from moving around, which is incredibly important.

The Phantom's difficulty depends on class, really, and how well your team works as a team.

Guardians are similar, but they're pretty annoying Goddamned Bats if you don't have a power that specifically counters them (Frag Grenade, Pull, Stasis, etc.)

@Med Wait about 24 hours and the Shadow Broker base will have the next set of deliveries. Or you could do a mission.

I think the only class that doesn't have a good power against guardian is sentinel...Other class have at least one...

Guess what my new favorite class is?

Also, krogan soldiers don't have a counter either.

Sentinels? The Turian gets an accuracy buff that makes shots through the Guardian slot quite easy for me.

It's not always that easy when four of them are between you and an injured squadmate and you have to kill them fast.

@ Tyler: No one. Canon ending, remember?

@ Spirit: I know. Still, was really hoping I'd be able to pick up the last three upgrades from there at once. Instead I still need two.
