COACH TOTORO SAY REFEREE CAN BANISH WHISTLE TO LAND OF WIND AND GHOSTS!

my dad posted:

Lair of the Shadow Broker sounds fun.

As for the loyalty mission, how about Whatshisname's? Maybe it'll give him some actual characterisation?

Ha ha ha ha no



The backstory to that loyalty mission is creepy as hell but it doesn't make Joey any more interesting of a character.

Oh yeah, I should probably mention you can double up on some of these at a location. Saves some back and forth, though it doesn't matter too much.

Grunt/Mordin - Tuchanka
Miranda/LOTSB - Illium
Garrus/Thane - Citadel

Piece of trivia: Like I mentioned there's a P/R check for Miranda and Jack. There's also one for Tali and somebody we haven't met yet. There was going to be one for Mordin and Grunt but it got cut.

You can find the cut Mordin/Grunt dialogue here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMHCuaVrW1I The person who made this is pretty good about mining unused dialogue from ME games.

I have the feeling there was going to be one for Jason and Thane as well, Jason is pretty catty about Thane being an assassin during the introduction sequence.

Also up for the Grunt and Mordin show.

Experience the lovely Tuchanka weather with Mordin and Grunt. It's cloudy, followed by cloudy and a light shower of nuclear warheads.

I'm sure I've said it before but waiting with Tali's mission until the last minute so it can be done with the unmet squad member is the best.

It's even better if unmet squad member comes on her recruitment mission.

Kind of. You can hold off recruiting Tali until after a certain point when time isn't as much of an issue. I'm not sure about thread spoiler policy, but you can do a Youtube search for Kal'reegar and unnamed squad member's name to see a pretty funny scene.

I'd like to see what Tuchanka has to offer us. I'm also preemptively voting for the path that lets us do Tali's in the most hilarious and therefore only correct way. :allears:

It is criminal that we have to save edit and/or metagame the gently caress out of the mission order to set that up.

Specifically, They'll have to wait until there's only 1 mission left of our current lot. They're kind of availability shafted, which is a big shame.

Not really. After doing A Certain Mission, you have some number of missions to go before something else kicks off. For most runs that's one mission, but I think it can be a lot more depending on how many recruitment and loyalty missions you have left to go.

How many missions you get exactly is :tali: territory, which is why nobody really does it.

Yeah, the metagaming is horseshit. I know on PC you can mod in Unnamed Squadmember because all of the dialogue/interaction is there without triggering Bad Things. Usually I do Tali's and US's loyalties last for obvious reasons and it doesn't create any problems.

Since our next episode is short and plot-free let's go ahead and...

It's exactly 2 missions every time. One of which will be the last party member's loyalty mission. Past that bad stuff starts happening.

I hosted a party in college where someone brought a bottle of southern comfort. Everyone drank my Evan Williams instead, and the bottle was left at my place. I eventually gave it to my roommate. I visited her a few years after we stopped living together, and there it was, about 2/3 empty.

You can do it on Xbox too. Gibbed is a lifesaver since you can also give yourself enough minerals to never need mining, and enough credits to avoid most of the minigames.

Oh god Evan Williams :barf: I picked up a bottle on recommendation from goon bartenders, drank about half my usual consumption amount of Wild Turkey and ended up with a puking hangover and didn't poo poo right for a week. SoCo on the other hand, well I've consumed most of a fifth in a single setting and was drunk but fine.

2 live crew

The Drink
The Comfy Chair
2 oz Southern Comfort
Coke

If you can't figure out what to do here I don't know what to tell you.

The Drinking Game
You've got 1 drink and about 15 minutes. Git 'er done.

The Episode
Just crewchat. We've sexually harassed Kelly into feeding our fish. Samara has hosed up family issues, even more severe than most on our ship. Thane is weird, Tali apparently accidentally betrayed the Fleet and Chakwas survived our drinking session.

Thread says we go to a hellish landscape full of toxic waste, so we're heading off to New Jersey Tuchanka to take care of Grunt and Mordin.

Post-loyalty combat remains my favorite part of ME2 as an Adept because of how much the bonus powers (Reave and Slam in particular) enabled more options to deal with enemies.

I might have to do a Vanguard run next just to see what it's like being able to Play Like a Gentleman and take damage. The only sections I'd really miss Adept for in ME2 would be zero-grav; Slam and Throw are both amazing and hilarious for them.

If it makes you feel any better you can take slam as your bonus power. Pull/charge is a lovely combination.

Just FYI guys I'm at a stupid work conference this week so I haven't had my usual time to work on the update. I brought my laptop with me today so I should be able to get the audio mixed and editing done. I'll pretend I'm taking copious notes or something :v: Video should be up tomorrow.
