JT Jag posted:As someone recovering from a broken ankle who is still occasionally taking pain meds (the really good kind you shouldn't mix with booze) I'm scrambling to figure out what I should be drinking myself. A guy from the CoD thread recommends malt sodas. Italian bitter sodas would be good too. Oh, and our province owned liquor store, the LCBO- has recipes for alcohol free cocktails.

I suppose this is as good as a reason as any to finally pull out the bottle of JD I have lying around. Now I need some sort of cola.....

 Veetoriffic The Drink Missing Tom Colonists 2 parts gin 1 part lemon juice simple syrup club soda Add gin, lemon juice and syrup, top up with club soda Simple version: Gin & Sprite No real game, just make it disappear like those colonists. The Episode Miranda shows up at the shuttle and pink slips Wilson in a rather extreme manner. Then we go meet TIM who tells us a shitload of colonists are going missing all over the place. We get sent to check it out with no real argument on our part. This is dumb, especially considering our origin where Cerberus is responsible for the death of our unit on Akuze. You don't get any real choice to do this and it's narratively retarded. Then we go to Freedom's Progress to investigate the most recent disappearance. The mechs have gone bugshit (big surprise) and there are no people around. We run into a familiar face and find out who/what is behind the disappearances, some weird new race known as the Collectors.

Episode 1: Butts: I'll never work for Cerberus! Never ever ever ever ever! Episode 2: Butts: Meh, alright. Not like I have anything else interesting to do. Brings me to my first real complaint about this game: Why in the gently caress do like half of your squadmates not wear armour? Jacob is supposed to be a career soldier and a combat veteran and he more or less runs around in a space onesie with shoulder pads. Miranda's outfit looks like it was spray painted on.

Because Mass Effect shields are so much better at ablation than armor. Guys who wear heavy armor are either not good enough with tech or biotics to manage them on their own. Garrus is the only real aberration.

The lighting in the first dialogue scene makes Miranda looks like a creepy-rear end Japanese android. Also I don't remember seeing Tali until a later mission in my playthrough.

Life in the colonies is hard enough as it is, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcUBI-YVRY8 Why is anyone even using those mechs? If they don't just randomly go berserk on their own they're guaranteed to eventually be controlled by enemy agents or traitors.

Since I don't think we're going to see much of Jason once the game progresses, I'll point out now he's boring in the same way a staunch top-left mashing paragon is - entirely too reasonable and mellow for his own good regardless of situation.

grack posted:Everyone wore armour in ME1 Only soldiers and krogan got heavy armor. Everyone else got medium armor at best (which was maybe a slightly more armored breastplate and some shoulderpads). But the tech/biotic only classes were basically wearing pajamas.  That's ME1's light armor  That's medium, and that's roughly equivalent to what Jacob's wearing when you find him, sans helmet.

SubponticatePoster posted:He got titty plating too! Yeah, he's got shoulder and literal breast plate, that's as much as medium armor gets. He's probably wearing some kind of bullshit ballistic fiber mesh clothing because Cerberus, but his loyalty armor has more obvious plating. Other than GGZ everyone else is basically a specialist. Garrus is an outlier but he probably needs it to shield his brittle bird bones.

SubponticatePoster posted:There will also be a simplified drink for each update in case you're unable or can't be arsed to get some liquor you might never use again. If you're really cheap or poor and still want to play along then get yourself a 40 for 3 bucks and pound it.

Man, the Missing Tom Colonists drink is really weird when the only club soda you have around is flavoured with blueberries and pomegranate. Like drinking weird chewing gum. But not altogether unpleasant.

 Ship of tools The Drink Cerberussian Roulette 1 oz vodka 1 oz Kahlua 1 oz Creme de Cacao Half and Half Cocoa Powder Add liquors to a shaker full of ice and shake well to combine. Pour into glass, add H&H and stir. If you'd like your drink a little more foamy put all the liquids into the shaker. Dust top with cocoa powder. Simplified drink: coffee and Kahlua The Drinking Game Drink every time someone says "Cerberus." Good luck and godspeed  The Episode We update TIM on the status of Freedom's Progress. Seems he kinda knew already what was going on (a bit of a recurring theme for the game). We agree to work with him, not like we get the option to say no. Then he gives us a present, a bigger and improved Normandy. We tour the ship and meet our new crew with a couple of familiar faces inside. Also the ship has a full-on AI which is illegal as gently caress but hey, it's Cerberus. As far as Cerb experiments go EDI is one of the few that doesn't end up killing everyone and everything though technically she does malfunction later.

Hi I just recorded with SP. We had a good time.  The Normandy reveal is the hands-down best moment of the game! I adore that god drat ship, she's so beautiful, and I was devastated when she got blown up at the start of the game. Getting an awesome redesign and lovingly crafted intro, out of nowhere, was when I was sold on this game.  pretty spaceboat

Manic_Misanthrope posted:They really try to sell you on the whole Cerberus thing here, staffing the ship with all your old buddies to make it feel like home. It's weird to come into this game first since it seems like Cereberus was built up as the renegade analogue of the alliance since the council does disavow knowledge of the  reapers in a pretty callous manner and the alliance does just goes along with it - even at the cost of colonist deaths/disappearances and wasted resources fighting the geth. Most of the new crew seems to be dissatisfied ex-alliance and other dudes fed up with current leadership that are willing to join this spooky group with a rep for shady science since they get stuff done. Of course nearly every bit of shady science Cereberus does in this game, the Frankenstein resurrection of Shepard, the procurement, copy and construction of a secret military warship, the development of a true AI, etc, etc, etc all work out. Then it turns out that nearly everything Cerberus did in this game was their one shining moment in an ocean of mustache-twirling failure

Getting an awesome redesign and lovingly crafted intro, out of nowhere, was when I was sold on this game. The two main things that needed to change in ME2 to accommodate gameplay and story issues, rebooting Shepard by killing and resurrecting him/her, and blowing up the Normandy and having it rebuilt are handled deftly, in ways that make you care about what's going on. And now you can do the World of Ruin arc in Final Fantasy 6 of rebuilding the team. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96wnpkcZIYw

And we especially need the ability to create a massive hologram of the main character on the top of the ship complete with flags swaying in the wind and of course to force feed the appropriate sound effects, such a flags flapping, into the speakers of any nearby vessels or stations.
