I think there's a chance it may be intentional; Paul is conspicuous because he's closeted gay man in an environment that's…totally fine with homosexuality. No one seems perturbed by the gay prostitutes, his friend is comfortable with himself and wishes the same for Paul ("Be what you want. It ain't bad.") and IIRC…

And how could they not expect a reaction like this, given the state and reception of several AAA games that have been released over the past year?

He knew a guy who had some weed!

Might sound odd, but is anyone else a little bummed by the move to the Andromeda system? Our galaxy alone is large enough to provide an endless amount of new places to explore, and I'd like to see how the galactic civilisation rebuilt and moved past the Reaper War.
Feels like they skipped Mass Effect: TNG and went…

That's what I was thinking. Isn't that the giant king?

Neat. Have any idea what to call the combined book? I'm partial to 'A Feast for Dragons.'

Switched between paperbacks, while following the suggested reading order found here. I didn't bother with preserving the Dorne reveal.

I've done that, and did find them more coherent and compelling. I won't be reading them separately in the future.

Most of The Chronicles of the Black Company takes place in a fantasy version of India.

Six Days in Fallujah.

The world of Avatar, assuming I can waterbend.

I would have been fine with the Udina/Anderson switch if Anderson's tenure had resulted in any observable difference. As is, it seems that there's no difference between having a politician or career soldier as your ambassador.

Oh, and cut all rachni enemies from the game or drastically reduce their number if you had killed the queen. Consequence for the paragon choice right there: now the Reapers have more forces and you have more enemies to fight.

Especially not when the Happy Ending mod, despite being poorly named, corrects the most egregious problems.

He was your Grey Warden contact in the second game. Popped up if you brought Anders and your sibling to the Deep Roads, when the Qunari assault the city and possibly elsewhere.

That is best analysis of this fiasco I've read to date.

This sounds like a problem most video game developers have as well.

BBC: "US President Barack Obama condemned the violence and said that the discontent expressed by communities needed to be addressed not just in Ferguson, but across the United States."

The "tough on crime" model has really done wonders for America.

I can't even imagine what it's like to be a member of that family right now. Having a family member killed is awful, but it's not just that; that family placed their trust in the legal system, despite all the many, many concerns about the impartiality of it, and they were denied even a trial.
