Gee I can’t believe I really haven’t thought of the last one!
I like RegressThis and ScriptAhontas (tho I’d go with Testahontas) and the last one, of course, heh. DoNotPanic is taken in all the different versions. I’ll do a little poll at work based on these.
Cheers mate.

Same here (surprise, logic prevails). I’m wondering what they’ll do in ME3 if you lost the majority of your crew. Probably we’ll get a full new set of new chars again (yeeha!).

Nope. All the team was accounted for at the end.

I’ve been thinking about getting Bioshock 2, but right now I’m kinda “Meh”. Maybe later when it’s a) cheaper and b) some time has passed since ME2. March is going to be a hard month anyway with so much good stuff coming.

You lose anyone in the ME2 finale? I suppose not Shepard, anyone else though?

Mass Effect 2 didn’t fail to deliver.

Altho there are a few areas of the game that seemed to have been tweaked (with a sledge hammer) between ME1 and 2 the game itself didn’t disappoint.

Played it through with 2 of my characters from ME1. The one were i let the council die (by accident… mostly) was somewhat darker. The one were the council lived on to ignore me another day made me feel like i should have let the gits die. But that’s the beauty of a game were your choices have consequences, a trend that’s picking up some steam with a few games recently (albeit slowly. Bioshock 2’s take on the whole action & consequence was very well done tho I’m not about to say why or it will spoil the surprise if you haven’t played it yet).

The one thing that seemed awkward about ME2 is that if your starting a New game without an import character the game makes some interesting assumptions.
- The council died: They weren’t very likeable so i can accept that most people would have opted for this, if only by accident.
- Udina was left in charge: this one i don’t get, the guy was a complete weasel with a hint of power hungry despot. Odd choice.

It will be interesting to see how all of this plays out in the third installment

Well that certainly depends on what you like. The Wire for intelligent, realistic cop drama. The Shield for action-oriented, not-as-intelligent, not-as-realistic cop drama. Veronica Mars for intelligent, … err… I just like it, I guess. Heroes for the comic book fans. Sopranos for everyone with a little patience. Battlestar Galactica, of course. Dexter. Chuck.

Important: to be watched in English. It’s too bad the US shows are often not aired at all in Germany or only very late, and you can only get the DVD copies late, too – so no Dollhouse for example.

Of course you can get some more casual stuff like House, Life, Boston Legal, and more weird ones like Pushing Daisies, My Name Is Earl, IT Crowd, Black Books, Dr. Who et al…

It wasn’t that bad… although… well, it was *kinda* annoying. And by the way, we will first start throwing things and if that doesn’t help we need a better plan. (Fleeing’s not an option. Come on, it’s three against one.)

I really laughed at the scene with the cops wife. Totally unexpected and so unlikely for hollywood

You say that like its a bad thing
Without those who dare to dream, and strive to achieve, there would be no invention and all the things you take for granted would not exist.

Yeah I also always wondered how Cylons can download across star systems (okay wrong show!), maybe it’s all server-client based, with the pods pinging the avatars constantly, acting as the master system.

Right now listen to ourselves, we’ve finally slipped away into nerd-space for good. Reminds me of watching the new Star Trek movie, wondering what had happened to Robert April.

Whatever frequencies the tree Jams are not used by the connection, which is nothing if not convenient. Then again the connection could have been designed to bypass that particular problem since they were aware of it.

What i don’t get is how the avatars can talk back to the pods. Not necessarily a plot hole, just curious.
