I accidentally told a squaddie to take cover behind a car that exploded next turn.

XCOM.

I've done that.

Although the game kinda sorta makes it clear when a vehicle will explode (it's on fire) it isn't the best way to go about it since it's very easy to miss if you're not paying attention.

Like when you haven't done any missions involving cars to hide behind for a while, and forget about it, so your captain gets blown up and then caned because they're not behind cover any more.

Oh shit, put me under the category of liking ME1 -- 2 and 3 were absolute bollucks.

THANK YOU

They all were balls 2 was slightly less balls!

I dropped all three games at some point during my first play through:

1 at Virmire

2 at... just before the collector ship?

3 after frickin' Mars

Responsible gun owners, I see...

Okay I have a bit more time than I expected:

Ah. You sound like you want to oppose the extend.

I actually want other folk to scumhunt from time to time. We've had two days and literally FUCK ALL HAS HAPPENED. Excuse me for being frustrated that apparently nobody wants to play as town.

An extension is only really useful if it's, you know, used to scumhunt. EXTEND + silence is stupid. Like what you guys are doing. Why should we extend if we're just going to piss about?

FoU claimed his day game was pants in the KotM game. Doesn't seem to be willing to work on it though, which this set of games is ideally suited for. Oh well.

Moonlit: voting the only other person who was voting at the time, and coincidentally, voting you. OMGUS much? Also latching onto something a player said they do all the time, which they didn't do one time... what?

What is FoU's meta voting habit going to tell you about his alignment in this particular game?

FoU: pressure voting kinda works best if you don't tell folk it's a pressure vote. It goes from "oh, I wonder if this person is serious with their vote, better do something!" to "pfft, vote will move soon, don't have to worry about it at all" which isn't so helpful, is it?

How come you stopped posting when we found out we can vote? Are you going to pressure Moonlit beyond just dropping a vote on him? What do you think about Moonlit just now?

Starver: the only one of our brethren not to be very active, outside of TBF. What gives?

Alternatively (actually, simultaneously) why aren't you off to a good start?

Also, re:ME3ISBEST: no ME2 is best, mostly because it fixes the problems from ME1. Mostly. ME3 just rehashes part of the ME1 story, and unsubtly tugs on the emotional bonds you made of almost every other character that was in a previous game. None of the games are particularly fantastic, though...

But that's just, like, my opinion, man.

Oh yes, ME2 fixed so many problems of ME1. Like it having a coherent world and plot! GONE. Or having one-off characters with more then two lines of dialogue! GONE. Or how Shepard was a big deal because of what he knew instead of how good he was at murder! GONE.

Refer to the link on the last page for MORE of the "problems" that ME2 fixed.
_{your opinion is WRONG}

See, I would read that, but none of the Mass Effect games are really... good, I s'pose. I wouldn't go out of my way to play any of them again (I only played the first two multiple times 'cause I wanted some continuity with my character) so I don't feel like reading a long ass thing saying why the changes are good or bad I am happy to agree the first game was an RPG, and the other two are 3p cover-shooters, though.

I enjoyed the second one more than the first one. I only finished the third one 'cause I sank a lot of time into the first two. Mediocre games across the board!
