    Remember just put the letters pointing to the video when you use the "Youtube"/HD tag. Fixed all the same

    Well now, that looks excellent. I think after I am done exams I will finish this game on my pc finally. I don't think anyone makes better games than Bioware or at least that have a very impressive track record.

    It's no Liam Neeson but damn what a cast.

    Did that one guy play Warf? I seem to remember a South Park with him.

    I beat the first a few times. It was the first game that allowed me to go into the stars and explore extraterrestrial terrain, albeit very limited, yet still amazing and rich in detail. It was an awesome feeling to land on foreign terrain in the Mako, and then explore what lay ahead.

    I'm wetting my pants over the sequel, seriously. I'll be getting this for PC. (I've pretty much quit consoles.)

    The chick at 1:50 looked a lot like her voice actor.

    Ernie Hudson was in Ghost Busters, The Hand the Rocks the Cradle, and many many more.

    Yeah, Michael Dorn is the actor who played Worf in Star Trek. I was surprised to see him on there. Haven't seen or heard much of him since the last Star Trek movie. I also agree that was a phenomenal cast! A few from BSG and Chuck, really can't complain. It's no wonder their games turn out so well when they put the effort in like this. I am sure none of those actors are cheap to get. I especially liked the comment Seth Green had about Tricia Helfer lol

    I already have the CE preordered.

    The only voice that doesn't do it for me is Martin Sheen. I loved the West Wing, but for some reason I can't picture his voice going with that character. However, I will definitely wait to see the scenes in person before passing complete judgment.

    I need to play it 1 more time to get a save I want to use for the 2nd. I really hope that the character creator lets you make better looking toons. My FemShep just looks really creepy no matter how I set the sliders.

    Ah, could you be a little more specific please ? I just can't get it right apparently. Thanks for your help.


    I had the 'Sakura Taisen' syndrome while playing Mass Effect :

    You play a side quest. That is, explore a star system.
    Was fun, but leaves an aftertaste of wanting more of it. Ok, I'll just do another one then.
    Ops, my inventory is full now. Ok, I'll just go back to Town now. Random stuff happens.

    Mhh, feeling a bit tired myself.
    *Looks at watch*
    Holy Sh*t !! 2 am already ? wtf ... And I got work tomorrow !! dang it.
    /rince and repeat

    I'm replaying as an infiltrator so I can unlock Electronics for my Soldier Shepard. What is everyone planning to make ?

    I went for standard male shepard for my first play and since I couldn't find any female model in the game that appealed to me, I'll keep it that way.
    I'm glad to see Mass effect 2 finaly introduces females with long hair.
    There is not a single one in the first Mass Effect, due probably to a technical reason since human hair is difficult to do.

    A lot of renegade dialogue options were a lot of fun.
    I'll remember the
    'someone up there needs my boot up his ass'
    and the
    '... that makes you a criminal (nonchalantly manipulates his handgun). I can kill criminals ... '

    I also like talking with Wrex and Garrus a lot.
    I wish there was an option to gather the two and get drunk together, yelling bawdy songs.
    I can see the scene from here.
    When half drunk, option to try out each other species beverage.
    Shepard tries krogan ale, pukes. Garrus boast he does better, then pukes. Wrex drinks a huge amount of both human and turian stuff and laughs loudly.
    Then when everyone is seriously drunk, option to compare each other species' nut size (Wrex mentions in-game his unit of measure for small objects is a right Turian nut).

    On second thought, better not do this on ship, that could damage the opinion of the crew for their commander ROTFL ! A private room at Chora's Den would be more preferable, hahaha.


    Btw, did anyone felt the higher grade of geth looked like EVAs ?

    Just replace the head in this pic with a Geth one, and you have it.

    Wow, I'm impressed with the cast. Looks like they have quite a budget, should be a kick ass game.

    Say this is the link:

    youtube.com/watch?v=3NIN2GnaA4w&feature=player_embedded

    all you do is cut out the random characters youtube.com/watch?v=3NIN2GnaA4w&feature=player_embedded

    and put them into the youtube/HD tag

    YOUTUBEHD]3NIN2GnaA4w[/YOUTUBEHD

    I believe it was brown that showed me how to do this so just continue to pass the info along to the next person that you see doing it wrong :)

    Anytime, I was always getting so mad and could never figure out why everything I put up was displaying as BORKED.

    Same here.
    Though Opera was displaying things properly without any change, so it was very strange to see that stupid BORKED thing in Firefox.

    The best Renegade line of dialog in Mass Effect 1 was definitely when Shepherd says "And STAY DEAD THIS TIME" while committing genocide on the recently re-awoken Rachni Queen.

    The interview with the TV journalist isn't bad either :

    (concerning the council's laissez-faire past attitude about Saren)
    "Shepard > The council really sat on their limbs concerning the Saren case, I wonder where their thumbs were. "

    I was laughing my ass off when I heard that one.

    ^.^ got in about 6 hours of Mass Effect time this weekend :) Probably gained 8 levels or so to bring me to 35. Such a good game and very easy to pick up again. Probably only took 5 minutes to figure everything out again and get used to combat. Love the depth of the story lines. Hope the system stays relatively the same for ME2.

    Props to Bioware for kicking so much ass!!
