The Citadel DLC was the best thing BioWare has ever done with ME, frankly. Finally we got some (a lot!) of humor, and warmth, and everybody stopped taking things so seriously for half a second. Add in a callback from ME2, a little bit of fourth-wall breaking tension relief, seeing the whole team in action together…

You just made Cora about 1000 times more interesting to me, and I will play the rest of the game assuming she's a Joker-esque psycho.

That would explain a lot!

Is she supposed to be nerdy? I just assumed that the females were the only ones who were able to verbalize anything other than variations on "ME FIGHT GOOD".

Add to that the fact that for some reason the left side of her face looks forty years old while the right side looks like a millennial and I have no idea what they were shooting for with her look. I refer to her as "not-Ashley", which probably doesn't speak volumes for her characterization.

Yeah, there's that; I guess I'm just not sold on the reverence and awe I'm treated with by everyone given the level of tech advancement in the galaxy and the fact that I, you know, just got here.

Yeah, that UI is really six kinds of terrible, especially the bit where the unviewed entry folders in the codex and journal lose their damn exclamation points as soon as you scroll to them, so you can't tell which entry where is responsible for the nagging "you have new stuff to read" icon every damn time you open up…

The thing I find hardest to believe is that Pathfinders are somehow imbued with an almost mystical ability to… what, exactly? Determine suitability for colonization? Like I'm better at it than a fully staffed team of the best multi-disciplinary scientists in the galaxy? Really?

"Legman don't joke about cocaine."
"Cocaine is NOT a joking matter."

I'm a die-hard ME fan too, and it's not terrible; in fact, I'd say fans of ME will find a lot to like in the expansion of the lore and the better exploration, combat and character customization options. It definitely has issues, but it's not the tire fire like some people are making it out to be.

I'm with you, the turians were my favorites too. (That said, one of the few characters I really like in Andromeda is a female turian smuggler, so there's something to look forward to.)

I'm maybe a third of the way through Eos, and I don't disagree with anything in the article.

So, I’m about 10 hours in, and it’s been a bit overwhelming. The human faces... meh. Fine, I’ve put up with worse in almost every RPG everywhere.

There is a distinct lack of Wheels and the Legman on this list.

Eh, that Jack Reacher sequel was… unfortunate.

Is there a gas leak in here?

I'll be continuing along with Torment: Tides of Numenera, with some boardgaming time with Arkham Horror: The Card Game, V-Commandos and likely more Shadowrun: Crossfire.

Still one of my favorite sitcoms ever, with zero irony. I've said this before, but I'll say it again: John Ritter was so goddamned good at TV.

People laugh when I say this, but TC really was some of Knotts' best work. Furley played to his strengths (it's easy to see RF as an aged, West Coast-ized brother of Barney Fife) as an outsized character actor with the ability to steal any scene he was in with just a facial expression; even the occasional pathos crept…

These are gonna come in super handy when your knees are getting rained on! No more chafing for 1/3 of your pants!
