I don't appreciate the implication that you can't make a story out of chess-like conversations.

That simply will not do.

Beschizza did succeed at making Dune even more Lynchian which seems to be his stated goal.

On the plus side, cybernetics seem to be more or less on schedule.

I can already tell that this is the kind of fact that I'm going to whip out prefaced with "Well, actually..." Congratulations! I'm going to use your words to sound like an asshole. (I really need to work on that...)

Cherish the memory of the first time.

Your post was an emotional roller coaster for me. "But The Prestige had David Bowie as Nicholai Tesla! It can't be the worst one! Wait...best to worst..."

I think there was a scene where someone referred to a cookie as a biscuit. That probably did it.

This is the internet, after all.

You do get some sense of nuance in 1 and 2. They're definitely "the bad guys" — due to their insistence on propagating the slave trade — but they (or at least the groups encountered) do have understandable motivations for whatever it is they happen to be doing. The Batarians seem to have a pretty rigid honor system…

They changed his name because someone leaked it? They ruined a chance to link the novels and the games because of a leak that actually got people excited about the character? Yeesh.

So it is, but it totally isn't.

They better give me the option to disparage her new style. What kind of solder wears their hair like that? Unsat as the day is long.

It was always Epic Bro Team Shepard and Garrus with me, though since my Shepard is a soldier (boring, I know) I would bring along some biotic or another.

Space marine with a fauxhawk is the new default choice for whatever "sacrifice" I might have to make.

I would love a Batarian crew member! He would go great with my "I-killed-every-last-Batarian-bastard-on-Torfan" Shepard. Mostly because I'm still not sure if I'd play out a "begrudgingly learns to respect his former enemies" storyline or stick with "I don't care what you can do, I seriously hate you people."

Right. Though Bioware at least made some effort to explain it in universe. As Serge said, Salarian females tend to stay in Salarian space (which the player has never ventured into). Krogan females tend to segregate themselves for protection / negotiating power. Turian females...well, there's no real excuse for them…

I wouldn't say "runneth over" exactly. I think they've managed to repair their national cup that it could now hold liquid.

What we need to do is found out exactly who made the trailer, and follow their careers. If it happens to be the lead designers, well, we should write them a letter telling them to stick to cinematics.
