Alright, since most of us are going to have to cool our heels for the next 4-5 days or so, and since idle hands are the Devil's Playground, I propose a little game.
We were talking earlier about the influence that certain movies and TV shows of the 60's, 70's and 80's had on Mass Effect. I'm going to post pics from 10 science fiction movies or TV shows that may have had a small, or large influence on the Mass Effect fiction. Some big, some small. First person to list all 10 sources correctly gets a free $5.00 steam gift of their choice from me. Only thing I ask is that you in turn are reponsible to put up 10 images of your own and offer the same prize to the next person in line.
Basic rules:
-No Tineye! Don't cheat! Wikipedia is ok if you have an idea and want to confirm your suspicions.
-You can only win once!
-Don't be creepy. You know what I mean.
And here we go...

With Amazon? Wrong mistake. When you change shipping address (or make any other changes) on pre-order items, Amazon automatically takes you out of your current queue (say #68) and put you on the bottom of the queue (say #1189). Because that's just how their stupid system works.
I learned this the hardest way a few times before I finally realized how their stupid system works.
Damn, didn't know that. I'm with chat. Hopefully they'll fix it.

You know as a way to show some appreciation to PC gamers, let us play it early for a week. I mean damn, you're getting a larger cut from us then from console gamers. Shit, after retailers get their cut, then they have to pay licensing fees to Sony & Microsoft. Plus if you want to make a patch you have to go through some shitty, lengthy and expensive authenticating process. I mean damn, show us PC Gamers some more LOVE!

You already get the game at a discounted price and the option of Preloading it via digtial formats. Dont be unreasonable. Giving timed exclusives to one platform is completely out of the question not only would Microsoft and Sony kick up a fuss but they do their best to keeps spoilers under wraps having the game official out a week early would destroy that spoiler protection for the other formats..
PC gamers wonder why the rest of the community looks at them as elitist...

Jarret Lee was talking about its awesomeness, along with "coming soon" and "It isn't long to wait now".
So it has to be today.

Discounted price? Not many big titles come out at $50 anymore on the pc.

That might involve some time travel on your part. 33 years worth, hint-hint.
What piss me off more about Amazon system is that by taking you out of the queue, you may lose a chance at some of the limited edition stuff. I don't see why I should be penalized in my queue for changing something as important as address or credit card detaild. I already preordered first before everyone else, dang it.

You know while listening to the Suicide Mission theme from ME2 (so epic), I was thinking a little bit about those closing scenes when Sheppard and the crew are running out of the collector base at the end of the game. They were cool but they lacked something. I was thinking those last scenes could have been so much better; they would have been such a great opportunity for some epic cutscene action segments. And more than that, actually do class-specific cutscenes; really give that personal touch to your Sheppard.
Like a scene where an adept Sheppard is throwing warp and singularity everywhere as Mordin and the others are struggling to escape. Or Grunt and Thane are pinned down as they try to escape and collectors are advancing on to their position and out of nowhere both collectors take bullets to the head. Sheppard is a distance away and decloaks with a sniper rifle in tow, Grunt and Thane nod and Sheppard runs with them. Or better yet at the penultimate sequence where a Vanguard Sheppard is running towards the shuttle to leave and the shuttle is actually taking off and you don't know if Sheppard is going to make it or not, but then at the last second he/she biotic charges straight to the ship and turns around and gives that cinematic bad-ass stare as the shuttle doors close. I'm not the only one who thought of this right?

Mass Genocide run over.

I dunno about the Launch Trailer, but for us with the PC version we can preload it later today.
Did you do his loyalty mission or not? If not you can kill him off.

Loyalty. Only way to get Shepard to survive.
Don't you need 2 characters alive to live? Who was your second pick?
I have a run where I kill as many people in the past 2 games as possible, but I still haven't decided on who's going to be the least important of all the squaddies. Thinking morinth, but she might just take her mom's place.

I don't think it's gone up yet.
Actually, they're not getting a larger cut from us... Console markets nowadays are way bigger than PC. It's pretty unusual for PC games to sell better than their console counterparts.
Any relevant talk of the launch trailer will be heated discussion on whether or not it lives up to the ME2 one. (if not then I guess we can always dissect it frame-for-frame).
I knew that. I just heard it was coming soon and wanted to put pre-emptive advisement out there. I also just wanted to let people who are also on blackouts know that it might be good to avoid this one. I only just recently saw the ME2 one and it's filled with stuff I would have considered to be major spoilers. The Uncharted 3 one was the worst though, it literally showed almost the entire second half of the game. Glad I didn't watch that before I finished it.

It's most likely going to be with The Walking Dead.

It's kind of an interesting escalation ploy. Are they going to pick Once Upon A Time? More people are going to pre-order if it COMES OUT AT MIDNIGHT THE NEXT DAY OMG.

Is there a guide anywhere to have the most number of people dead?. I know there some hokey way of getting your entire squad except two dead in the suicide mission.

There's people that think this game will deserve a 10? I've never played a game that deserved a 10. In my mind, a 10 is pure myth: it's an amalgam of the best parts of every genre, of every game ever created. It's a game that knows no ending, and shows consistent awesomeness. It's a game that never grows dull, as it always finds a way to surprise you.
Mass Effect 3 won't be a ten. :lol
