    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    Did you choose Story mode? I thought you had been turned off of visual novels.

    [IMG] Commander.
    [IMG]
    [IMG] You're not supposed to call me that anymore, James.
    [IMG] Not supposed to salute you, either. We gotta go. The defense committee wants to see you.
    [IMG]
    [IMG] Sounds important.
    [IMG]

    Shepard, once hero to the Alliance, savior of the human race, seems to have been held in Earth's detention centre, for his genocidal crime in Batarian Space. (See: The Arrival DLC)

    [IMG] What's going on?
    [IMG] Couldn't say. Just told me they needed you... now.
    [IMG]
    [IMG] Anderson.
    [IMG]

    Old friends shares a brief handshake before getting down to business.

    [IMG]
    [IMG] You look good, Shepard. Maybe a little soft around the edges.
    [IMG]
    [IMG] How are you holding up since being relieved from duty?
    [IMG] It's not so bad, once you get used to the hot food and soft beds.
    [IMG]
    [IMG] We'll get it sorted out.
    [IMG]
    [IMG] What's going on? Why's everyone in such a hurry?
    [IMG] Admiral Hackett's mobilizing the fleet.
    [IMG]
    [IMG] I'm guessing word's made it to the Alliance Command... something big's headed our way.
    [IMG]
    [IMG] The Reapers?

    But the Batarians are ugly, chaotic evil slavers that no-one liked. Also, shouldn't Shepard's "cybernetic scars" be more visible?

    The demo did not let me import my char, lightbane. Consider this a preview and timer saver when the real game launches in March. :salute:

    Emotional Engagement 03 : I used to be a Commander...

    [IMG] Tell that to the defense committee.
    [IMG] Unless we're planning to talk the Reapers to death, the committee is a waste of time.
    [IMG] They're just scared. None of them have seen what you've seen.
    [IMG]
    [IMG] We've all reviewed your reports, seen the data you collected, but it's all just theory to us. You've been there. In the trenches. Fighting them. You know what they're capable of.
    [IMG]
    [IMG] That why they grounded me? Took away my ship?
    [IMG]
    [IMG] You know that's not true.
    [IMG]
    [IMG] The shit you've done... any other soldier would've been tried, court-martialed, and discharged.
    [IMG] ...
    [IMG] It's your knowledge of the Reapers that kept that from happening.
    [IMG]
    [IMG] That, and your good word?
    [IMG]
    [IMG] Yeah. I trust you, Shepard. And so does the committee.
    [IMG]
    [IMG] I'm just a soldier, Anderson. I'm no politician.
    [IMG] I don't need you to be either. I just need you to do whatever the hell it takes to help us stop the Reapers.
    [IMG]
    [IMG] They're expecting you two, Admiral.
    [IMG]
    [IMG] Good luck in there, Shepard.
    [IMG]
    :bro:
    [IMG]
    [IMG] Anderson... Shepard.
    [IMG]
    [IMG] Ashley?
    [IMG]
    [IMG] Lieutenant-Commander, how'd it go in there?
    [IMG] I can never tell with them. I'm just waiting for orders now.
    [IMG] Admiral.
    [IMG] Come on.
    [IMG]
    :what:
    [IMG]
    [IMG]
    [IMG] You know the Commander?
    [IMG] I used to.

    Emotional Engagement 04: Tell us what to do, Shepard.

    [IMG]
    [IMG] What's the situation?
    [IMG]

    What? I'm the one in detention, you're the ones in charge. The fuck am I supposed to know?

    [IMG]
    [IMG]
    [IMG] Whatever this is, it's incomprehensibly powerful.
    [IMG] You brought me here to confirm what you already know...
    [IMG]

    Emotions Engaged! Everyone! ACT SURPRISED!! GASP!!!!

    [IMG]
    [IMG] Then... how do we stop them?
    [IMG] Stop them? This isn't about strategy or tactics. This is about survival. The Reapers are more advanced than we are. More powerful. More intelligent. They don't fear us, and they'll never take pity on us.

    The whole planet is under attack. A full scale invasion by the Reapers.

    [IMG]

    News reports everywhere around the globe, suffering from the same attacks. The Alliance Fleet will have their hands full...

    [IMG]

    Sovereign...no...not just him. It. Whatever. EVERY ONE OF THEM is here. On earth.

    [IMG]

    :what: DAT EXPRESSION.

    [IMG] What do we do?

    SHEPHURD invokes EXTREME one liner!

    Alliance council save vs fear: failure

    [IMG] We should get to the Normandy.

    Suddenly....

    What should we do, Shephurd?

    It's okay. We know you're doing it as a sacrifice to entertain all of us at the Playground. :salute:

    :P

    (Truth be told, I had been planning on buying it myself, but thanks to all the trailers and impressions and the like I changed my mind.)

    Part of the reason why I'm kinda happy with the purchase is that the single player aspect has that 'So bad it's good' script to it. While the Multiplayer component didn't feel bad at all. In fact, I enjoyed my first 30 mins blasting waves and waves of Cerberus with my silent squad members who are 10x more intelligent than any turian Operative I know. No offense to Garrus of course.

    This game is so bad you don't have to make fun of it, it does the jokes itself.

    [IMG] I can't raise the Normandy. You'll have to contact them. We'll meet you at the landing zone. Anderson out.
    [IMG]

    So....

    1. Anderson is a nigga, he always carries a piece around for a fellow dawg in need.
    2. Council? Fuck this shit, it's the Committee of 'Ask Shepard What to Do', he gave them his answer. 'Fight. Move. Kill or be Killed.' Apparently they failed almost all task except for the last one.
