Been a while since I played ME2 but this brought back some intense Insanity run memories, that was one tough mission. Getting charged by groups of massively armored krogan was not fun, don't know how many times I got killed there.

I prefer having a heavy hitter for that "go off and close the doors section" to leave with him and I'm rotating out people as we acquire them. Zaeed's already seen double duty.

That makes sense. Grunt is fun to have around, especially when he does his little charge animation and knocks people over.

It does mean, though, that we'll have to wait for another update to see just how bugfuck crazy one of Butts' former squadmates went in two years.

As fun as Grunt is, picking up Okeer himself instead would've been neat too. It'd be a fun twist to have a krogan scientist on the squad, maybe one that can play off Moridin's character, over another krogan punchman warrior just for the difference.

Actually, it'll be a few updates, just FYI. Once I have the first few squadmates recruited I'll start taking votes for who people want on missions.

I'm honestly not a huge fan of the Carnifex. It's fine on squadmates but the really low ammo count is too much of a pain in the rear end.

Phalanx is the best pistol because you get a laser dot. Fact.

The Predator just needs another few rounds in the mag to make it really competitive with the Carnifex. I remember modding it once to have +5 rounds (so 17 instead of 12) and it was actually really good, maybe too good.

It helps that squadmates have unlimited ammo, which basically negates the biggest issue with the Carnifex. They also suck with the Phalanx.

Just chiming in to say that me and my girlfriend (who has never seen/played Mass Effect, but knows some stuff about it from me) are currently going through your ME1 LP Subponticate, and we are both having a fun time watching Bioware's bad programming, and enjoying your commentary on the game. Looking forward to catching up with/watching the ME2 LP. I don't drink but she does, so hopefully she can experiment and let me know how these drinks are.

Wait, just a pint? I figured it'd be at least a three gallon bucket, be a shame to waste all that space. Unless, that is, you plan on sharing all that grog, I suppose. It occurs to me that I'm messing up the the ratios wrong, the recipes are calling for like 1 oz of the liquors to a cup or so of other stuff, I've been doing like 50/50, at least of the ones I actually followed.

The Drink
Kasumikaze
2 oz vodka
1 oz triple sec
1 oz Chambord
1 oz blue curaco

Add ingredients to a shaker full of ice. Shake shake shake and drink the fucker.

The Drinking Game
We pretty much do nothing but blabber at people this whole video, so take a drink every time we talk to a person (not every sentence Jesus Christ you'll die).

The Episode
Oh, look, an update. Sorry about the delay, past week has been busy. Anyway, we talk to a bunch of people on our ship, then wake up the babby Krogan in the hold. Grunt is a pretty good squadmember. He is for all intents and purposes a teenager and acts as such, just with a lot more punching and shooting of people. He's voiced by VA everyman Steve Blum, though it's a bit hard to tell with the filters. He learned everything Okeer imprinted on him, but doesn't give a poo poo about old stuff and is perfectly content loving people up. Perfect for us.

Then we head on over to the Citadel to pick up another DLC squad member - Kasumi Goto. Kasumi would be the sci-fi equivalent of a rogue; she cloaks and then pops up behind people and ganks them. She's got great banter and is the only person in all 3 games to refer to Shepard as "Shep." :3: She's also good at hacking. THIS WILL BE IMPORTANT LATER. You can upgrade her main power to have almost no recharge if it kills the target, so soften somebody up with some gunfire and then have her :ese: them. Rinse, repeat.

And we meet Bailey, who is a captain in C-Sec. He heads up Zakera Ward, which is the only ward we have access to in this game. He's a pretty cool dude. He will help us out later, but he's not a squadmate. Also turns up again in 3.

e: oops I left an ingredient out of the drink.
