i'm super excited about the geth classes. sound like they're going to be pretty awesome.

sure i will. that's one of the current verizon prices - 100$, and i get 50$ off. from doug: so it looks like i'm adding the rezound to the list, and possibly the thunderbolt (gotta check current prices). any other ideas?

hi everyone. it's almost time to turn in my venerable original Droid for a new phone. i would love some recommendations about good replacements. i am on verizon and am fine with the service and price of the plan i'm on (unlimited data! although i'd probably go with a 1 or 2 gig plan if i can't have unlimited). things that are important -functional. my droid constantly hangs and sits, even after stripping almost everything off of it. this is problematic when the two things i use it for the most is messaging/calling and gps navigation. -actually a decent phone. the droid's call quality and antennae strength was far worse than on my wife's free feature phone. not good. also battery strength was weak at best. -durable. the droid is a nice little brick with a good cover on it. i have never had an issue with the durability of the screen or body. i don't want something that's not able to be knocked around a bit. -not a tablet. i need a phone, not a computer. it has to fit in my pocket. -price. i don't want to spend insane amounts of cash if i can avoid it. preferably under a hundred dollars, but i'll go 150$ if it's super amazing AND brand new. things that aren't important -modding or rooting. don't care. if i want to root something i'll play with my modded consoles. -insane crazy app support. i like apps, obviously, but i'm not one of those guys that needs everything. the only ones i use on my phone right now are gps, google reader, TFLN, an eve online integration thingie, and a clock. i don't need more than that. i was thinking of either the iphone 4, samsung stratosphere, or the droid bionic - all 50$ new. thoughts? for reference, i've got a 50$ credit towards a phone, and i think that goes up if i wait the full two years, so that gives you a guesstimate as to what price range i'm looking at.

REVISIONISTS REJOICE! ars and others are reporting a free DLC that adds additional cutscenes and end-game interaction to the game as a whole, to better elucidate us on the acid trip the original devs were on. who knows what will come from it, but it can't be as bad as the original. and no, the original ending wasn't 'controversial'. it was terrible, rife with plot holes and completely ignoring the investment of the users. i'd have been fine with a well-done tragic ending. this was not that, and just because it's cool to make fun of the mainstream opinion doesn't automatically mean that the ending was actually well-done and we're all just rose-colored assholes.

i told him to put that there =) i write for hawtwired occasionally.

not at all! it means that they actually intended the ending to end that way. like, it wasn't some horrid fever dream or mass acid trip or something. like, after all that incredible storytelling and worldbuilding, they actually wanted it to end with that barfbag of an ending.

because every one of her skills makes her hop.

lol @ 3d mode

dom is good people. i own the album already, but i donated.

THATS WHAT SHEE SAIDDDDddd DDDD

i'm really enjoying xiii-2, actually. but honestly - dlc takes forever to finish and then get approved. you know that they had to be working on it before release if it gets released before june.

i played a game against her where she absolutely facerolled our top lane and was 4-0-1...and then fell way off and finished 7-8-9. she's able to solo, which is cool, but she's far superior as a support with her CC, shield, magical fairy thingie, and ult.

i like how they did it, too - they didn't reduce her ability to punch you in the mouth and heal off of it - they just prevented her from going from 25% hp to 100% hp in a few minutes of autoattacking with no items, like it used to be.

as someone who doesn't like apple much at all, i have to admit that their ipods are top notch in build quality and usability. i use my phone (droid) occasionally, but my ipod classic 80g is my tool of choice for rawk on the road. i have had it since christmas 2007, and never regretted spending the extra money on it. i don't mind itunes. it doesn't give me every option i want, and it handles artist names strangely (i wish if i selected artist A that it'd give me all music by them, even if it's artist A feat. artist B, like how realjukebox used to work eight years ago), and sometimes it duplicates albums. as a whole, though, it works pretty darn well and i don't mind it.

prooooo necro

mine's dated 10/8/2010.

i love how he's leaving but he keeps coming back. i also like how he's getting more mature and therefore has to leave ocr behind. butthurt much? for laughs, i read this out loud with a snooty british accent and it's absolutely perfect. so classy.

wait who is this again

get back to hating things. nothing changes. i've watched them all, and the last five minutes are always friggin horrid.

hey, you haven't finished it. stuff's been up since thursday. 17 endings actually are only three endings, which boil down to palette swaps.

right here is why an mmo wouldn't work. also, with the enormous, ENORMOUS investment that was TOR (which released to mediocre sales and lowering subscriptions after the first month or two), there's no way in hell a mass effect mmo is coming out anytime soon.

that's what i meant. they can't eat anything on earth without getting sick. avoid the red nuts at the bar, they'll give you cramps. cue crazy bartender slapping verner with a singularity on the ass. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE jordan, i went with mordin as my main sidekick for two playthroughs, since incinerate was so hilariously overpowered last game. the part where he was humming as he was finishing his work in the Shroud had me almost in tears. just so poignant. and then that batshit bullcrap ending just ruined it. i am so pissed, knowing that subsequent playthroughs will just end in fail and aids.

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK (spoilers) i played me1 three times, me2 four times, and i finished this up on saturday night. roughly 300 hours total in this game. the writing in this last game was EXQUISITE. the way they resolved the krogan situation, the quarians and geth, the scene and situation on thessia - i have never, ever been more involved in a game's story than i was after that mission, i had to turn off the box afterwards - was just spectacular, transcendent. the prime after the battle on rannoch...just incredible. and then this GODAWFUL HORRIBLE MAILIN TOTAL TRASH ENDING. WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT. dammit, bioware, TAKE MY MONEY. give me a happy ending dlc. replace the last five minutes with five or ten minutes of the ending from mass effect 1 in the new engine and i'll be happy. jesus h chairfuck mcshitchrist. i can't think of a worse way to end the game. changing the colors of the explosions? really? THAT'S IT? that's my resolution to a zillion hours of gameplay? why does part of my squad end up on the normandy? why was it going through a gate? why didn't joker break any bones? how did they manage to live on happy space garden world paradise in between gates when they got knocked out? why does the catalyst look like that creepy kid? why does shepard have air at the end when they were in space? how are turians and quarians supposed to live on a DNA-based world? how are any of them supposed to survive when all computers have been destroyed (or not destroyed, but they have no gates)? why does none of our decisions through the entire game give me anything good at the end? this ending was shit, and i could have come up with a better one on a cocktail napkin after six cups of everclear. someone DID come up with a better one on a cocktail napkin after six cups of everclear. and then they vomited, and that looked better than this ending. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

i have it for 360, and i'll play with anyone who wants to...once i'm mostly done with the campaign. sorry zeklan, i know you asked like six times last night, but i was busy shunning liara and hitting on EDI and enjoying the much tighter and more entertaining gameplay (read: it's actually almost a shooter now) and didn't care about interacting with real hoomans.
