He also says he fractured his thumb on the mute button. Presumably, the mute button is like most of his other controls and is in fact holographic. That means Joker's bones are so brittle, they can fracture on light.

Then again, light apparently makes for a physical obstacle in the ME universe (seriously, try walking through Glyph in the Shadow Broker base), so maybe that notion has some validity.

If you can stab people with it, you can break bones with it.

The real surprise is that the sun on Haestrom merely overloaded your shields rather than smearing the squad out over the Quarian ruins like you got hit by a cement truck.

When this whole thing started, I actually asked @masseffect on twitter if any of them go target shooting and if so, do they need to use pictures of their feet as targets.

They never repsonded, bu I think the answer is an emphatic yes.

There are certain detractors who, at this point, aren't going to be happy unless the DLC is just video of the entire writing team committing ritual suicide, and any criticism of the clarified ending is going to be met with the people who were against changing the ending going "see? They gave you exactly what you wanted and you still weren't happy. This is why gamers are literally Hitler." Not sure how I feel about a Clarification DLC, unless it's an explanation of what about the ending is so good that they feel the need to valiantly defend it against all reason.

I assumed he was saying that as a figure of speech.

Also I think the answer for Glyph is mass effect fields since he looks a lot like a combat drone.

The implants only allow him to use the controls without gloves IIRC.

You honestly believe that they'd use a character voiced by a comedian who's named Joker for comedy? Clearly this thread is too high-brow for you if you don't recognize the plot holes that come from a literal interpretation of everything he says.

Honestly, there's only one thing that really pisses me off about things holographic, in ME:

How come the Normandy schematic disappears when I get to the Galaxy Map? They don't interfere with each other and that has to be annoying for the crew.

Both, and the fact that he got Jesus and Keanu Reeves mixed up is just gravy. If Weekes gets any blowback from the internet postings, Priestly is gonna get the can too. It's one thing to be negligently helpful. It's another to publicly hostile.
