Emily Wong became a reporter to make a difference. She's about to make history.

I feel like Emily Wong tweeting her last moments is actually some sort of meta commentary on how today's society posts loving everything online.

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

Whipped this up in her memory.



Goodbye Emily. :(

She was a pretty lovely Vanguard, didn't even put enough points into it for full shield regen

It is not the layout of a woman's skills that make her great, nor her count of spoken lines, but rather the brightness of her spirit. She rammed a flying car into a metal alien squid god from beyond the galaxy that was tearing down the entire Los Angeles metropolitan area. We can only dream to be half as great.

That is why we must have a thread title that both condemns the reaper indoctrinated classical rock band* and acknowledges the glory of Our Lady.

"Blue Oyster Cult was Wong" is perhaps acceptable. But it needs to have Her name. And overall I still stand by the "Wong planet" one.

Honestly, the Reapers were doing us a favor wiping out Los Angeles first. Wong was probably a Lakers fan, which is really just another form of indoctrination. :colbert:

These avatars paid for Lowtax new boat.
I love this thread title. And it still feels so surreal that the game is out. Been waiting so, so long.

I can't believe they killed Emily Wong over that twitter thing, I was totally expecting that if she died, she would die in game. I seriously, straight up did not see that coming.

Also, I'm excited and anxious and nervous to see what this game does with :liara:. Her and Kaidan/Ashley for that matter - all of them were said to be minor players in ME2 because they had big plans for them in ME3. But god, what does that mean?

Edit - Also I'm gonna mostly be ducking out of this thread until I clear the game, I can't take getting spoiled for it. And it only takes one person to gently caress up their spoiler tags to ruin it. And I have a really bad history of stumbling on those posts.

Does anyone know how to get the AT-12 and the M55? I got the DDE and I have not gotten any unlock codes or anything... are they supposed to email you or is it automatic? Do you find them in the game or just start with them? Anyone know?

The excitement over this game has actually gotten me to go back and play through ME1 again so I can take a new character through the full thing. I don't think I've been this pumped for a game in years.

Without saying too much, I'm roughly six hours into the game and both Liara and the Virmire Survivor have been handled really well so far.

I imagine they email those out after the game is released for realsies. I haven't run into the guns from the regular edition, at least.

So if the soundtrack info is to be believed, Clint Mansell's name is only on two of the tracks and the heavy lifting was done by the four guys who each did the music for ME2's DLC.

Fuck the DH
I'm in on PS3 and unsure if I want to buy digital or not. On one hand, I'm an insomniac who is presently sleeping during most daylight hours so even if I go out in the morning to buy it I probably won't seriously play it until I go to bed and wake up.

On the other hand, this game will take up more around 10% of my HDD.
