The fact that it didn't fly away in the presence of humans indicated something was wrong with it. It only walked away from us to hide in a corner, only coming out when we had food :lol. My dad actually took it to a park two houses from ours yesterday where there are normally other birds. An hour later it was walking up our driveway and returned to it's home beneath our water tankfappenmeister said:

Finally got myself an iPhone 4, after all my stupid fucking adventures into phone shops and getting denied, jb hifi gets me set up and going in 20 minutes. The lesson is, if you want a phone, don't go to a phone store.
I wonder how long it'll take me to want to jailbreak it... Not the biggest fan of the ui... :/
Still, the thing looks super cool and it's pretty easy to type with.

That reminds me. I need to get a new phone with Telstra.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my current phone and my beautifully cheap $20/month plan with Three. The problem is I'm moving to a regional town for work, and Three don't do coverage outside of Perth so 'hello roaming charges'.

I'm about to pop Mass Effect 2 into my 360. It will be my first meaty new game for 2011 and I have been looking forward to it immensely.
I'm gonna carry over my Paragon Vanguard Lesbian Femshep which I used to pretty much smash out every possible quest in ME1 (got the 'Completionist' cheevo and completed all the DLC). I've got the Limited Edition of ME2 copy as well, brand new with a Cerberus card and everything.
I go into the game having freshly wrapped up the second novel set in the extended universe - 'Mass Effect: Ascension' by Bioware's Drew Karpyshyn, a very fun and easy to read light scifi adventure.
I've had a few key points of the game spoiled for me already - more than I'd like but I do listen to a lot of the Bombcast and the games strengths/failings have been dissected on GAF ad nauseum. Not much I can about that.
I would, however, like a friendly AusGAF fellow to address a few quick things before I dive right in:
- When do I punch in my Cerberus card? Can I do it over XBL before putting the disc in?
- I assume I can install both discs to the 360 before firing up the game, yeah?
- I've heard that
.
- Does Femshep only have boyfriend options or can she get back into some hot muff action? Mine was a lesbian in ME1, and I don't want to break canon.
Anything else to keep in mind for a first-time ME2 player? And yes, I know all about how RPG-lite it is and how it scales back a lot of the elements of the first game and the final boss is a bit hokey, so don't mention it...

a large number of crew may not make it to end of the game, but there is a cheevo for getting all of them to survive. Are there any subtle decisions I would be best to avoid if I want to make it to the end with a full crew, or does it depend on the success/failure of a particular mission. Please don't be too spoilery

Save before you talk to any crew members, or attempt one of their side missions. Most decisions are obvious, some are not. If you really want the achievement, it's a good idea to have some old saves.Bernbaum said:
I played the final mission perfectly but one of the conversations I'd had about halfway through the game had already tainted its outcome.

So I'm sitting here in my Mum's living room while my fiancé models her new wedding dress for my Mum in my old room. I'm not allowed to know anything about this dress until our wedding day.

First of all, if you were a real fan, you would know that technically Shep is not a lesbian.
1.) I'd load the game up once, then punch in your code. Only because sometimes Xbox Live is a bit dicky with how it handles pre-game DLC.
2.) You can but thanks to MS's shitty mandates you'll still need to swap discs, but go ahead if you want to save time.
3.) Just make sure that everything you'd need to be "good" to survive a "battle" is obtained before running into the final mission. The mission requires large amounts of "trust" and "respect" in order to succeed without any casualties. That's the best I can do without spoiling. I think you're smart enough to fill in the gaps. =P
4.) She wasn't technically a lesbian if you were with Liara - Asari are genderless. But if you wanna be like that, then...
1 x Male Romance Option
2 x Alien Male Romance Options
1 x Alien Female "Fling" Options (Basically friends with no strings attached)
1 x Female "Fling" Option
1 x Female "Fling" Option with interesting results (You will miss this on your first playthrough, I can almost guarantee it.)
The bolded ones are pretty much the ones that are "main" options and you cannot be with these guys all at the same time. On the other hand, you can be with one of the bolded guys and then have random flings with the unbolded ones.
If you are interested in continuing your relationship throughout ME2 and into ME3, you'll have to buy the Shadow Broker DLC Pack. I did not include that option in my list above.

Wife and I renewed our wedding vows in Vegas with Elvis a couple of years back and streamed it live. Biggest disappointment? It was in RealMedia.HolyCheck said:

I wanted to keep everyone alive just so they would appear in ME3. Well, I hope that's how it turns out. Scanning isn't even that bad if you just do the tap method, and the game is still fun if you actually think about who to send where and such to keep them alive.
I didn't find it any less fun. =/

if the crew members in ME2 play a significant, plot-relevant role in ME3 I'll (eat my hat) (buy everyone a drink) (applaud Bioware) (be very surprised)
Thanks, codswallop, evl, nemesis et al.
My OCD approach to RPGs has usually served me pretty damn well. I did pretty much every sidequest and scanned every planet before getting stuck into the story missions in ME1 and was neurotic about maxing out Femshep to full Paragon.
I don't think I'll have a problem...

Yeah, the more and more I think about it, the more and more it seems less likely. I can't imagine them getting back all the rather high profile actors for some of the characters for one or two lines. <_<
Personally I hope Aria plays more of a role too. I loved her character.

I'm actually thinking of live streaming it for relatives overseas, but I have no clue as to how to accomplish this, so any help would be appreciated. If it happens, I might just post the link.HolyCheck said:

Hey anyone in Melbourne know where you can get an Intel i5-2500K as opposed to the i5-2500 model? Literally every search I have done turns up shit
MSY haven't even fucking udpated to show they exist

i need some advise.
i bought a PS3 40GB sometime back with extended warranty at harvey norman. Warranty ends on the 22nd this month.
last 2nd of dec, my PS3 died. Dead lens. I got back a refurb yesterday. Today, the lens died again. By sheer coincidence, the lens also died while playing the same game as the first PS3 -- Modern Warfare 2.
i'm going back to harvey norman tomorrow and want to know what are my options. i am NOT confident that sony can actually 'repair' this, and that if every i get it back the warranty will be over... I will be screwed if that does another '1 day die' on me (and i know it will not last as long as my first PS3).
can i ask harvey norman for a refund? or maybe ask them to straight up replace with a slim? tell them how unreliable sony's refurb replacements are, etc, etc.
is there anything else I can do? maybe get a refund and buy a good videocard, since I'm raging about steam lately?

So I just realised I'll probably never get to play Sin and Punishment 2.
Why the fuck didn't I buy it when on the shelves? I'm not sure if I'm more pissed at Nintendo or myself.
Had no idea it was exclusive to JB and in very limited stock.

The copies of Sn'P2 were UK copies. JB took it upon themselves to import and re-sticker them.
You can pick it up for $30 AUD equivalent with shipping.
