Puberty Love

The Drink
Vodka Krantt-Berry
1.5 oz vodka
Cranberry juice

Mix ingredients in a tall collins glass full of ice.

The Drinking Game
Drink whenever someone is headbutted or we talk about headbutting

The Episode
Welcome to Tuchanka, the happiest place on earth in the galaxy. We're looking for help with Grunt's problem. Which turns out to be puberty. And OMG IT'S WREX :3:. If things didn't go your way in 1, then it's his brother Wreav. Who still doesn't give a poo poo and lets us do whatever. We blow up some monkeys, feed a fishdog, and get our :rock: on. Along the way we shoot stuff, my game fucks up, and we murder Shai Hulud. Now Grunt is loyal and he gets a new outfit, and presumably his quad dropped.

Technically everything in space *is* irridiated! However, the amount varies quite a bit. On Earth, the atmosphere/planetary magnetic field deflects most of it. Deep space ships like the Normandy probably store their water supplies in between a double hull to use as a buffer for radiation shielding. There's actually a concentrated layer of radiation above the Earth called the Van Allen belts that's collected by Earth's magnetism (and presumably any other inhabitable planet). The Apollo astronauts had to move through the belts as fast as possible when leaving Earth orbit to minimize their exposure.

Y'know, that's one of those side missions I almost never do. In my dozen + playthroughs I think I've only managed it twice.

Mordin's loyalty is up next, and already recorded. Whose loyalty should we do after that?

Yes to turkey. As for the maple syrup, at least we have options other than that aunt jemima's crap. Also, ketchup and all-dressed chips.

UHC Tuchanka style

The Drink
The Ginophage
1.5 oz gin
1 oz lemon juice
1 tsp sugar
Club soda

In a shaker mix gin, juice and sugar. Shake until sugar completely dissolved. Add to collins glass full of ice and top off with club soda.

The Drinking Game
Drink whenever someone says genophage. Hopefully you have a secondary liver!

The Episode
First, a couple of things about this update: I'm sorry about the length of time in between episodes. I'm working a full time job, a part time job, and all of my weekends are full of RL poo poo. That should go away come November (at least the weekends thing) so I can get back on a more regular schedule. Secondly, I got a new wireless headset and thought I'd use that to record commentary with so I didn't have to hunch over my table. Well, turns out it sounds like I'm inside of a shipping container :argh: But I didn't want to put this off any more, so you get me sounding somewhat terrible. I'll go back to my old setup next time.

Wrex welcomes Grunt into Clan Urdnot and everyone talks about how badass we are. Then we take another truck and try to find Mordin's missing colleague from STG. There are lots of angry krogan running around, even more so than usual. They are trying to cure the genophage, rather understandably. And also we yell at Mordin a lot for what he did. Now while salarians aren't always known for their long-term planning he's probably right in this instance. He's also somewhat regretful about the whole thing but honestly believes it was the best thing for everyone, krogan included.

When we finally find Maelon, turns out he wasn't kidnapped at all, but feels way more guilty than Mordin did and tried to fix it, albeit in a very hosed up manner. You can let Mordin blow his head off and then get like 30 renegade points for it. We keep the data because it's a huge factor in 3 and also why wouldn't you because Wrex, you monster.

Next update will be Jason's loyalty.

The "female clans" is always funny because it reminds one how much of ME universe was originally built so that they didn't need to design more than one gender per alien race.

And for some reason I never even knew Fortack existed.

It's really impolite to interrupt a villain while he is having his evil monologue explaining his scheme and so on. Didn't anyone teach you basic manners? :colbert:

The interrupt stays for the entire speech and it's better to let him rant a bit before laying down the smack.
