Mass Effect

[Generalfoley]

Dude, you're a monster.

Don't take it the wrong way, because in reality you're probably a very nice person.

But in Mass Effect 2, sacrificing half of your team?

By god, that's awful. That's horrible. That's... That's just monstrous.

The point of Mass Effect wasn't in that you could sacrifice teammates you didn't like willy-fucking-nilly. The point is to connect with the characters in a way that you feel emotionally attached to them, like Shepard seems to be.

At least that's how I played it.

The fact that you played it as any other game makes it clear why you don't get the joke. It's because Shepard's choices are your choices. You're the one who's making them, you, for all intents and purposes, are Shepard.

So if you sacrificed your team, Shepard, and in turn you, are a monster.

So if you think sacrificing half of your team isn't a big deal, I'd hate to be the human race when you fight the Reapers in Mass Effect 3. Or any other sentient species, for that matter.

Because you'd kinda suck in saving us all.

I meant this to reply to Jim Profit's post. Apologies.

And here I thought I was so clever figuring out the ruder joke... *shrugs* ah who cares it's Tali! Well done, you.

I find her really pretty. But its really her voice work that matters for this game... (bioware's going to fuck up the faces anyways) and although I'm not sure she'll do a good job, its way early for me to judge.

True. I have been trying to avoid any reveals about Mass Effect 3. Mostly because after all the constant character reveals for ME2, I feel it just ruined some of the experience for me. Sadly it is hard to avoid ALL news on ME3 when I insist on frequenting this website... or the internet in general I guess.

So either way I don't mind. If she turns in a solid voice acting performance and her character is more than just simple fan bait (Did anyone actually WANT this to happen?) then I'll be happy.

We had the likes of Seth Green, Martin Sheen, Tricia Helfer, Claudia Black etc.. on board for ME2 and every one of those voice actors were used, imo, to their full potential and made for a really rich and believable world. There's no reason why that wouldn't be the case this time, despite the origins and professions of some of the contributors.

If it weren't for that stupid Liara bishoujo statue they made, Bioware would have 100% of my trust. For now they'll have to settle with about 90%.

Tricia Helfer's in it? Wow. They've gone all in on voice actresses.

Yeah, she's the voice of EDI.

I assumed, with the prior mention of fellatio that this was an indication that knocking her teeth out would improve her "service."

It's either saying that Chobot isn't a real journalist so Shepard won't punch her, or that her lack of teeth will improve her fellating of handhelds.
Not sure which one though, as it can be read either way.

Glad I wasn't the only one who went there. I got the "journalist" jab as well, but I'm male so if there's a sexual interpretation, that's where my mind goes first.

I guess I prefer that interpretation anyway, considering the "Journalism" and "ME3 sell-out" conversations that have developed on page 2... to which my contribution is a solid: "meh".

Good comic as always.

I'll admit it... I watched her get punched about 5 times before closing the vid

There's just one more I want you to watch. The best of the bunch.

I read Tali's lies in Tali's voice...

Oh god.. that's just amazing, especially considering the advent of Abraham Lincoln, vampire hunter

...I'm surprised and pleased that there is no fanboy gushing about the prospect of Tali and her chicken legs in a one-piece swimsuit. Well done everybody. Oh just checked the comic again, now I'm disappointed that Tali is drawn with human legs.

She has too many fingers as well...

 

[ABLb0y]

I... fail to get that one >.>
I guess I'm just in daft mode after walking the dog.

Also, I'd love to see some of the submissions you've had. Hell, I might actually be smart enough to understand some of them.

I think Erin is implying Chobot isnt a real journalist, so Shep isnt going to punch her.

Anyway good strip and seeing the submissions would be pretty cool.

Really? I thought it was an oral sex joke...
