Geez, there's a lot of derp in this thread.

I say suck it up and play through on the 360, since you've already established a character(s). Then, once you've gone through and seen the epic conclusion and ME3 becomes cheaper on the computer, go through a marathon play session; maybe change up a few things so you'll have a different experience.

Goddamn Reapers! Even landing in a thousand-acre expanse of farmland, the bastards still aim for that charming Greek Revival farmhouse!

I'm on my third. Got the first for Christmas in 2006, and it lasted until mid-2010 before it E74'd. Bought another one from some guy off of Craigslist for $80 and it zonked out around Thanksgiving of last year (also E74, dammit).

I'm not convinced that dense, Last of the Mohicans-style forest is a good environment for an AC game. I would argue that the core mechanics of Assassin's Creed pretty much require an urban environment to work their best

I wonder who players as a whole picked more often on Virmire, Ashley or Kaidan?

I miss The O.C.

Goddamn Concussive Shot always misses.

My introduction to "Franshish" was the Diablo 3 vid he made a while ago and I was struck (as I still am now) by how brutally honest his portrayal is. Beyond the pitch-perfect skewering of impotent, RUINED FOREVER nerd rage, I think it's very brave of him to craft a persona that uses his size in a Chris Farley-esque…

All too often the stereotype contains a kernel of truth. If the neckbeard fits...

I concur. The quintessential "not-obviously-ethnic-kids-learn-martial-arts" genre films of the 90s.

My TV girlfriend was/is Taylor Townsend.

The concept art of Petra is nice.

No blond afro? Dammit!

Glad to hear it; my fears are allayed.
