Oh h-hey, I haven't done an art post in a while... >_>;

So, I'm about 3 hrs in Mass Effect 2, ogling at the updated graphics, learning the new combat system and whatnot, and I finally get to explore the galaxy/recruit new people in the shiny new Normandy.

Me: Okay, so the game wants me to get Mordin first...
Joshua: No, get Archangel first. He's pretty badass.
Me: Oh, really? Fine then.

Joshua's on summer break, so he's ahead of me in the game. And the way he said that line... Kinda in a happy-ish "you won't be disappointed" tone, hm...

And how badass is this Archangel? Well, due to his good deeds, the guy has managed to piss off the top three mercenary groups of Omega, forcing them to team up against him. He's blown up all the entrances to his base except an exposed bridge, where he can easily pick them off. The mercs tried using a gunship, but he shot it down. Oh, and he's been holding them at bay, by himself, for over a day.

HOLY CRAP THIS GUY IS AWESOME I SO WANT HIM ON MY TEAM. :O

I make my way past the bridge and inside the base, killing off all of the freelancers/mercs in the way. Then, Archangel reveals himself to be none other than... Garrus!

My reaction? A strange mix of flabbergast ("Wait. Garrus is the badass Archangel?!") and glee (OMG, it's Garrus, eeeee~").

. . .

Thinking of going on a screenshot spree with this game. Problem is that it saves 'em as 4.11 MB bitmaps (That's HUGE!).

Saving them as a PNG lowers the size to 1.08 MB, and as a high-quality JPEG they're 604 KB. : /

Well, one thing I do know:

Garrus really wants to kill Sidonis. O_o;

Going to do another ME1 playthrough before importing to ME2.

From scratch, because I'm silly like that. (Keeping the achievements though!)

New Shep face. First one was horribly distorted. D:

I think I got Neutral!Garrus in my first PT; he didn't talk about reapplying for C-Sec... (Need. To get. Paragon!Garrus. Hnnngh.)

Why didn't I save Captain Kirrahe?! Still Virmire'ing Kaidan though, eh-heh.

Do all dem assignments! (Or most of them. Maybe.)

3 days left 'til StarCraft 2 and Continuum Shift come out!

...This is gonna be fun.

New patch for DnF this week! Added Altar of Limit, character linking, 2 new Gent dungeons, new EX skills, etc.

Zerker's new ability is Blood Sword. Range is almost the same as Raising Fury, and does more damage than 6 hits of it (at least, according to the tooltips at my level).

Pros: It's a "mobile" RF, though the 'zerker can stand still during the ability if you hold back. He's also in SA the entire time.

Cons: Slightly longer cooldown (20 secs vs 16).

But hey, it's another cube ability. It all comes down to personal preference. (Hell, everything in this game does.) I'ma play around with it a bit more, but I really like this ability so far.

. . .

I needs Cera to buy a contract for my battle mage. She dun have enough SP to try out her new skills... T_T

Also: DAT NEW ALTAR IZ HARD, MANG.

Damn thing recommends at least 2 people to go in. I shouldn't have tried solo'ing it last night. At 2AM. >_o

Ef yar, finally hit level 70! XD

Got 5 mil gold. And a perma-buff that gives +30 Str/Int, +500 HP, and +400 MP (which will scale with your Stam and Sprit). *nodnod*

EX Punto Wave Continuous Lightning Strikes is... okay. I was never really a fan for BM's cube abilities, except for Golden Dragon Spear and EX Full Swing. And Teanna. >_>;

Me: So, uh, what now? Weapon master or striker?
Chris: BOTH. Use the money to buy your blunt weapons NOW.
Me: Ha.
Joshua: Y'know, I might make a WM.
Me: O'reily? Which weapon are you gonna specialize in?
Joshua: Katana. (I kid, I kid.)
Chris: No, both of you go blunt. And only spam the special attack.
Me: We should do a triple WM group someday...

These two bastards haven't logged on DnF in over a month, dammit.

EDIT: "SS or it didn't happen," amirite?
