Is maraschino liqueur the stuff that comes in the jar or an actual alcoholic product? Also creme de violette may be hard to find with our stupid state-owned liquor stores but I'll see what I can do.

drinks if you hate yourself: cement mixer drinks if you don't hate yourself: lemon, simple, soda, and tequila. I've heard this by many names so I don't know what the 'real' one is.

That imo can be a tequila old fashioned, slammer, or fizz depending the ratios and what glass you serve it in, though i don't truck with soda in an old fashioned personally. Most cocktails really just sub ingredients into a general formula when it comes down to it. A whiskey sour and a margarita follow the same concept and ratio: 1 part sweet, 1 part sour, 2 parts liquor. The fun of mixed drinks really is finding the magic cool things that go together

I can't help but feel that if garrus had to come up with a cocktail he would just buy one of those 2 gallon bottles of premixed margarita at Costco and try to drink the whole thing because gently caress this galaxy

Something like two parts vodka, one part lingonberry juice and two parts vodka? I've no idea if that's the correct ratio and since I don't drink I've no idea what it tastes like.

 Harkin back to days of yore The Drink Sidonis Special 2 oz gin 1/2 oz Kirsch 1/2 oz Creme de Violette 1 oz lemon juice Add all to shaker with ice, shake and strain into a martini glass. The drinking game Drink every time Garrus says something edgy. The Episode Garrus's loyalty mission. We go to the Citadel to track down Fade. Bailey points us in the right direction and we find a volus who isn't Fade but happily gives him up. Turns out Fade is our old pal Harkin, the drunk C-Sec officer from ME1. This sort of explains how he's good at evading arrest, but then again not really. Send some plainclothes guy down there, don't advertise it over the radio or add a goddamn data entry and he should have been easy to catch. Then we go to a warehouse overrun with Blue Suns and killer robits. C-Sec really fell down on the job here. After exploding everything we let Garrus kick the poo poo out of Harkin for a bit. He sets up a meeting and then we stand by and also let Garrus shoot him because Harkin was a skeezy rear end in a top hat. Prior to meeting with Sidonis we berate Garrus hypocritically about killing a single guy who probably deserves it, then completely gently caress up his plan. However Garrus is our bro and doesn't mind. This is a weird loyalty mission because as long as you do it, he's loyal. There's no way to gently caress it up. Also, you'd think sparing or killing him would come up in 3 but it doesn't. It's never mentioned again. All in all this mission is kind of dumb, which is kind of a shame. A note on the music, I don't generally use the same track for the intro and mission but I wanted to give her a bit of a plug. She's a kickass lady, find her band on Spotify for a listen if you like punk-ish tunes. You can buy it (if you still do such things) from Amazon or iTunes.

You missed a sniper rifle damage upgrade that's on a computer in that tiny in-between room after you and garrus talk about all the mean things you're going to do to Fade and his Robots. I only remember this because I replayed ME2 a few weeks ago and unfortunately you don't have the luxury of being able to save-hack upgrades back in

The cain is so good it almost feels like it invalidates the other heavy weapons. I actually liked the collector beam gun and just the bog standard grenade launcher was a great weapon for putting down heavy mechs or clusters of mercs alike; the flamethrower was a spicy choice for incinerating packs of husks as well. but then you get the cain and you always feel let down by weapons setting the bar lower than nuclear hellfire

in ME3 they cut out the hacking for everything except for secured doors, and even then it's just a hidden loading screen with no mini-game while Shepard literally punches the door open with his/her omni-tool.

SubponticatePoster posted:I think whoever put it in the game had some kind of mental breakdown (in a good way) to think "hey let's stick a portable nuke launcher in there." You have to get heavy weapon upgrades to unlock it, but once you know where those are you can meta your way into it pretty early and then nuke everything. Its only limitation is the ammo situation, but generally one shot'll do ya. I hope you use it on a certain mission later on a ship. Who needs to fight waves of badguys right?

I'm pretty sure the real purpose of the Cain is that it allows you to completely ignore many of the more obnoxious bosses/fights, there's one in specific that it's almost perfectly designed for. Until you get to higher difficulties but why would you do that to yourself anyway?

 Ina Godda da Vido The Drink Jessie 4 oz Prosecco 2 oz St Germain 1/2 oz pomegranate juice Add all ingredients to a flute glass (or if you're a barbarian like me and don't have an actual flute a white wine glass). The Drinking Game In honor of Jessie drink every time Zaeed shoots someone or something. Gameplay as well as cutscenes. The Episode As you'll probably be able to tell from my commentary I've been sick, so apologies for still sounding a bit like Droopy Dog. For today's adventure we go off to some lovely jungle planet ostensibly to take back a refinery. When we get there it's on fire because of course it is. Turns out Zaeed sort of lied to us and he doesn't give two shits about the refinery but is there to kill his ex-partner, Vido Santiago, with whom he founded the Blue Suns a couple decades ago. On one hand this is sort of surprising and on the other hand I don't know why we (or anyone else for that matter) would really give a gently caress. I mean Samara's deep dark secret is her daughter is a mutant freak serial killer and Zaeed's is just...I started a business? Zaeed starts the show off with a bang which makes even more things catch on fire. The paragon responses are pretty stupid in that we would have ragged on him for doing probably the same drat thing if given the opportunity. Then we get into an argument about what the purpose of the mission is. Again (other than the possibility of workers burning to death) we berate him about the mission which wasn't ours to begin with. It's his mission, we were helping and aside from the barbecue if he wanted to go pissing off I don't know why we'd care. Since we waited and scored enough Paragon points we save the workers. You can decide to screw the workers over and then you get to hear explosions and screams for the rest of it. You also get a more direct route to the end room, but the fight plays out exactly the same. Then Vido gets away, Zaeed gets mad, gets exploded, and using the power of friendship we still make him see things our way. You can also leave him to die but only an idiot would do that. If you do decide to not save the workers you're treated with a fairly badass scene of Vido getting lit the gently caress up. I was hoping you'd get some resolution in 3 but you don't. Sorry Zaeed I'm going to do a video taking care of a couple of sidequests but then we're into Act III and the endgame. There are also 2 DLC's to wrap up, but neither one is really long and I'll do them postgame since once we do the next story mission a hidden timer starts and we'll have to wrap things up quick or bad stuff happens. Andromeda launches next week so I expect I'll be playing the poo poo out of that when I'm not working on the LP.

I'm pretty sure that if you wait to do Tali's loyalty mission until after the reaper IFF, it will still give you the SECRET BONUS MISSION before the bad stuff happens. This also allows you to bring a certain squad member on Tali's Loyalty mission, which is hilarious and I hope you do it.

Zaeed is a moron, if he hadn't started blowing the place up there wouldn't have been... wait, nevermind. They still would have shoehorned in a save people or kill the baddie decision. It's not like we basically have hotline access to the Shadowbrooker and could easily track him down again later or anything. And we certainly don't have a powerful stealth ship in orbit which could blast the bad guy's ship into smithereens with no warning.  Was Shepard headbutting that robot in the crotch?
