Went to see it last night, and I gotta say, it was surprisngly good. It's still a kid's movie, but there was plenty there for those of us who played the older games, and it was different kind of story. Worth going to see if you're any kind of gamer.

I'm sure there's some adult fanfics Sledge. I'd look to confim for you, but I'm kinda afraid to.

A-Team is stupid. It's also awesome and hilarious! It's a great throwback to the original series, so if you liked 80's action tv, you'll love it. Plus, with Murdoch, Best. Rescue. EVER.

I'd really like to see the Kyle Katarn story get attention. Although mostly a video game character. He was a very compelling character as a free lance Jedi.

Oooo, that would make a good movie!

I'm rather ambivilant, personally. While I'm not excited about the possibility of being 'Disneyfied', at least this means Lucas won't fuck it up anymore.

And I though this was an appropriate comment.

So no more multiple crap-foriegn-spambot-annoying-douches to delete? However will I feel my evenings now?

I dunno. My grandmother had Alzheimers, and she didn't have a sugar-filled diet. In fact, a lot of elderly who have it never did. Brain autposies of those who had Alzheimers used to be the only sure way of diagnosing it, as it changes the actual physical structure of the brain. Now, it's possible that it causes similar symptons, but from what I've seen, the root cause of actual Alzheimer's is not diet. Diet can probally make it worse and make it onset quicker, just as certian meds can, but it's not what causes it. Unless they're thinking of making it like Alzheimer's type 2, like diabities.

Definatly want a seperate video card. As for sound, I haven't had a seperate sound card since.....um....my second build? Something like that. I've found the onboard sound works just fine for my speakers and headphones, though I don't have any kind of speciality system.

For the motherboard, look at what's available for your chosen CPU. There doesn't seem to be much difference between Intel and AMD performance-wise. I've got an AMD Athalon II X4 and it runs Skyrim just fine. So any of the current CPUs should have no issues. Video is probally more important. I personally have had good luck with NVidia GeForce. I usually get the next-to newest one at the time, and it works great for everything I do, both games and artwise.

YOOOSSHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Top 10 position, here I come!

:sparkle::sparkle:

I'm going to go in and knock your posts down by a few every day, just because I'm feeling evil.

remember the make yer own ending books? Open the door turn to pg 23, run like hell page 32 lol

I'd get bored and read them page by page like normal books. You'd get some freaky stories taht way!

I got way to many of these.

And because we're mostly cat fans, Hypno-cat!

Holy crap, I thought I was the only one that read the Boxcar Children! o.@ No one else I know remembers it.

But yeah, read all of those. Also read a lot of Nancy Drew books. Used to love that series! There was also a series I read about a family with 10 kids that used to solve minor crimes. Something that started with an H and came red covers. ><

Happy Birthday!

The forum wars depended on other forums, of which, there sadly are few left that actually have people posting on them. Blah.

And I still don't know what GANFOBYGDO! means....*sheepish look*....

3 years is about when I'll need to actually get veneers rather than fillings on my front teeth. I wonder if it'll be available then and covered by insurance then?

there are plenty of inside jokes DX, you're just not looking hard enough...

I don't post nearly as much as I used to, but i still pop in and check things out, and I would hate to see AC go away entirely.

If you're worried about leaving the cat alone, you'd be better off adopting an adult cat. Get one that's about 2 years old or so, and you won't have to worry about destructive kitten antics. My cat is rather clingy, but she does just fine all day alone. It just means she likes getting in my lap for attention when I get home. If there's a Humane Society nearby, go talk to them. They usually have details on each animal they have, and can help you find one that fits with you.

happy Birthday!! Sorry, was out of town yesterday; hope you had a great time! *happy dance*

Dankies!

No, no presents. Going out for fancy dinner on Thursday, though.

And I still think the Starchild idea was rather stupid. Even with the DLC. In my opinion, the proper ending was Shepard actviating the Crucible, sitting down next to Anderson, and then cutscenes showing what happens next with the destruction of the Reapers. And how well you prepared with the choices you made determines the outcome of various species. In fact, I think it would have been more interesting to have the Crucible still missing something and only disabling the Reapers, so if you didn't build up your army enough, you can't destory them before they recover and you'll still lose. So, incentive to gather as many assets as possible. And with that, it would be possible to rescue Shepard before she dies, but still not likely.

The Destroy option is the only one that makes sense to me. That was what the games are building towards, that is what Shepard came to do, and that seems like the best way to break the cycle. Even with knowing the logic behind it, it's still the only viable option for me.

See, I didn't see it that way. It was more like Bioware saying "Ok, yeah, that could be an option but we didn't put it in because it means you LOSE THE GAME. But if you really want proof, here you go."

And the new DLC doesn't change the endings, just expands on them and gives you some of the logic behind it. That was my biggest problem before was that the Starchild just came right the fuck out of nowhere and made no sense in the context of the game world. Now that they've extended the dialogue and you can actually talk to it, I get why it was there and why the ending choices are the way they are. While I can't say I'm happy with the choices *dammit, i wanted my Shepard and Garrius to settle down together! *, I am satsified with it. The DLC fills in holes and gives a better sense of completion to the series as a whole.

Man, I can't do any of this one without the spoiler tag.

Well, part of the issue with teh Destory option is you end up commiting genocide. Not against the Reapers, but against the Geth. And kill EDI. And, there were a lot of people complaining that none of the options, with their view of Shepard, was in Shepard's character to pick. So that was Bioware saying "Ok, yes, you can choose not to do any of them and here's what happens." I know a lot of people were pissed of by it, but I considered it to be a valid ending. By not going with the choices the Starchild gives you as it's passing the control of the cycle to you, the cycle continues. The Reapers win. That makes perfect sense, and while it's not an option I would ever choose for my Shepard, because she did come here to destroy the Reapers and put the future of the universe into the hands of those living it, it's still a valid option.

For me, it wasn't

that Shepard dies and you don't get a happy ending. It's just that, aside from gaping plot holes, the ending was so vague and implied that you end up destroying the entire universe. That was a bummer for me.

And they stated several times they didn't change the endings. All this DLC did was fill in plot holes and gaps in their logic. That was originally why I hated the Starchild; it made no sense. And now, I still think it was a deus ex machina, at least they let you find out what the logic behind it was. I think it was flawed logic based on what can happen when you play, but it did actually make sense.

What did you think of the new fourth ending?
