Kaidan is definitely more likable; I only spared Ashley on Virmire that time because I wanted to play out her romance arc. That was also my full-Paragon playthrough, so I remained faithful to her through ME2 as well.

My first playthrough, she shot Wrex in the back right when I thought I was starting to get through to…

Partly, and partly about how good of a combat guy your fire team leader is. On my first playthrough, I used Legion for the pipe and Jacob for the fire team; both of them survived.

Same here; I never cared much for Jack, to the point that I didn't realize or care that siding with Miranda after their loyalty missions caused me to LOSE her loyalty. She survived my second playthrough, though; she's a lot more likable in ME3.

I romanced Tali on my first Mass Effect Trilogy playthrough, and thankfully she survived. The interesting part is that on my second playthrough I went after Ashley, but still felt very protective of Tali for whatever reason. I just sort of stared at my computer in shock for a minute when she took a rocket to the face…

Not to mention the COMPLETE lack of volus romance options in the entire Mass Effect Trilogy. Gawd Bioware, check your oxygen privilege.

In Mass Effect 4, you'll get a chance to romance the new Hanar crew member, only to find out at the end of the game that they reproduce via osmosis.

Where you and I see plastic toys, apparently other people see Today's Excuse For Outrage. Go (mini)figure.

Some people just want to be outraged.

Out of curiosity, were Saints Row and Saints Row 2 as tongue-in-cheek as SR The Third and SR IV? Or was The Third the start of a new wacky tone to the series?

Does it cover Toronto as well?

As long as they're alive and still toiling away, communist philosophy seems to dictate that they are technically receiving enough food.

If cutting an onion brings on the waterworks no matter what you try, it's time for desperate measures. We tested a bunch of methods for avoiding onion tears, and found the best solutions came down to cutting the onion under a vent, or wearing these incredibly stylish and awesome goggles. Note: These work amazingly…

Do you like this one as much as I do? Join the club.

I don't have anything like a lesson plan yet, but I'm absolutely going to teach my kids to code. It'll help to develop their critical thinking skills, which a lot of people seem to sorely lack.

Knife maintenance question: When you don't have a car, how do you bring your knives anywhere to be sharpened without looking like a crazy person carrying a knife block in a backpack?

Knife maintenance question: When you don't have a car, how do you bring your knives anywhere to be sharpened without…

The Pike Beam was a nice touch.

Possibly the happiest goat I've ever seen. Probably the happiest creature in the livestock district (for now)

Made it to the third paragraph, couldn't read further. There are chapters in American Psycho that disturb me less. Good work Internet.

If where I live is any indication, it's more of a supply-and-demand problem. Too many people going into education for summers off and the "You'll only get fired if you molest or kill someone" mindset of a union job, which results in more education graduates than the system can use and too many seriously unmotivated…

Buy Alcoholic Beverages: Most states prohibit the forming of alcohol or tobacco "clubs", so you can tell them at the door that you're there to just buy alcohol and they should let you in.
