warm bodies, I sense
are not machines that can only make money
past, perfect, tense
words for a feeling and all I've discovered
I'll be along son with medicine supposed to,
designed to make you high
I'll be along son
with words for a feeling and all I've discovered
old, bad eyes
old, bad eyes
old, bad eyes

on loneliness comes
go see the foreman, go see the profiteer
on loneliness drives
we're takin' our time movin' shit for this holy slime

old, bad eyes
old, bad eyes
old, bad eyes, almighty fear

the Shepherd won't leave me alone
he's in my face and I
the Shepherd of my days
and I want you here by my heart and my head,
I can't start till I'm dead

[Background Lyrics:]
here I am locking horns with the stallion
failing to hold my head up, I'll go back again
pillar of davidson feeling to hard to go down
cheaper than all the souls he will walk upon
deeper and deeper in love so I hold my head up
cheaper than all the souls he will walk upon
pillar of davidson feeling to hard to go down

Been waiting all this time for a Mass Effect thread, just so you could post that, right? :lol:

Certainly looks cool enough. No matter what, it will be a nice diversion from the usual fps crap that's so prevalent on the 360.



Okay, I'll admit. I'm really looking forward to this game. It's been way too long since I played a decent sci-fi rpg. Hoefully it won't disappoint.

Actually, for no good reason I'd pulled out a Live album I haven't listened to in about ten years and as I was checking this thread, I heard that bald guy banging on about Shepherd.

Well Shepard is a military grunt, so being pissed off and express that should be a given.

Obviously Bio is afraid to show some deeper dialogs [i.e. What is love?] due to spoiler danger, still, what I've seen in these recent videos definitely impressed me. A must-buy once it gets released on PC.

More ME awesomeness.

Seth Green being in the game is cool.

They finally showed a female version of Shepard. Neateo.

The combat system seems very similar to what has been explained about VATS.

Yes, it was great. However, it just seemed that when you choose the intimidate and charm option, you get the same ending to dialogue e.g. the bad guys disappears, even saying the exact same things...

However, the dialogue with Wrex and Liara and other NPCs in this game are pure awesomeness.
As for the military grunt, yes you can play the game as a military grunt, but you can also play the game as a diplomatic character, if you so choose.
